Riu All-Inclusive Resorts
Wish to experience the Mexican Caribbean at its finest while you kick back, relax, and enjoy a laidback holiday? Then there’s no better way than through the Riu All-Inclusive resorts!
The exceptional service and amenities at the Riu all-inclusive resorts are perfect for unwinding and re-energizing amid natural settings. The six hotels make it the ideal getaway that truly has it all for the ideal vacation. All of them include outdoor swimming pools surrounded by parks, a hot tub, a solarium patio, a gym, and a health center with various treatments and massages.
As a treat, you get to relish Mexican food, renowned for its enormous diversity of dishes. It is famous for its subtle flavors that blend a wide variety of spices. The hotels’ buffet restaurants and other themed restaurants feature menus and dishes from around the world. They combine a variety of culinary traditions, including Mesoamerican and European ones.

Things that come in handy before you book
There are six Riu all-Inclusive resorts located within the secure Playacar neighborhood. Each of them is accessible with your all-inclusive wristband.
You can utilize the amenities at any hotel; however, the hotel requires you to bring your towel from your original hotel. Also, you need to return there for your evening meal.
The Riu Resort chain is particularly well-liked in Playa del Carmen, and the Riu's are recognized for their excellent cuisine and drinks, exciting entertainment, and helpful staff.
One of the greatest beaches in the vicinity must be the one in Playacar. It is long, broad, and white – there are palm trees in front of the Riu resorts that provide shade but also locations where you can completely soak up the sun.
There are a few different pools in every hotel. But if you wish to feel the natural beauty of the Caribbean – the beach is fantastic.
At Riu resorts, restaurant reservations are no longer required. It wasn't always like this; Riu just changed their policy to allow "dine anywhere, anytime." Before this, reservations were required. So, excellent news: there are no restrictions – exactly how a vacation should be!
About the location of the resorts
The Riu #all-inclusive resorts are all nestled in a shared complex. One of the most popular is the magnificent Hotel Riu Palace Mexico (24h all Inclusive), situated on a beachfront about 3km from one of the most gorgeous towns in the world – Playa del Carmen. The hotel is tastefully furnished in the manner of traditional Mexican estates.
Furthermore, the most basic hotel is the Riu Lupita, situated in the heart of Playacar next to the golf course. There is a bus that travels between the beach and the beach club. Following, you will find the Riu Playacar – a charming hotel next door to the gorgeous Riu Yucatan hotel.
Across the street is the Riu Tequila. It's the only facility with a nightclub and has a sports bar open 24/7, so you could find yourself heading there to have fun! And less than a ten-minute walk north along the same stretch is where you'll find The Riu Palace Riviera Maya (turn right once you are on the street).
Even though the relaxing amenities, cuisine, and 5-star services of the Riu all-inclusive resorts are excellent, it is always wonderful to have the choice to try something else, right? Especially if you are there for seven nights or more! You can stroll and enjoy Playa del Carmen and explore the town. When it comes to transport, for example, from the Riu Palace #Mexico, you can simply walk to town – about 20 minutes. If you'd rather ride a bike than walk into town, there are many of them available. For instance, there is a bike station just as you approach Playa Del Carman. Also, if you wish to indulge in some relaxing activities, there are a few golf courses near the station as well – notably the Hard Rock Golf Club. In essence, you can leave the property without calling a taxi, but if you'd rather take a cab, the cost is only $7 US.
Wish to spice up the experience and see something different? Because of the proximity of Riu’s resorts in Cancun, you might also decide to spend the day in one of them by traveling there for the day.
Activities & Sports
You can engage in numerous sports and activities all day long at all Riu all-inclusive resorts. You may make the most of every minute with the help of the entertainment platform. Various activities are available – table tennis, a gym, volleyball, golf, and water sports like a catamaran, kayaking, bodyboarding, snorkeling, and much more!
The "La Piata" club is where you can dance to the greatest beats at night, watch performances, and listen to live music. Your kids may also participate in the special Riu Land entertainment program, which includes arts and crafts projects and other kid-friendly activities – perfect for families!

Outdoors
Playa del Carmen is located in the center of the Mexican Caribbean and features one of the most stunning beaches in the world. You shouldn't assume that all there is to it is the white beach and turquoise ocean. Trust us; there are many sights and surprises in this location that you should explore!
Suppose you're interested in taking day trips. In that case, we advise you to check out the magnificent Mayan pyramids and ruins, the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, the Crococum Zoo, the Botanic Gardens, and other intriguing locations that you can enjoy as a family, a couple, or with friends. Playa del Carmen's neighborhood has a vibrant nightlife with bars, clubs, and restaurants serving superb food, as well as cafés, balconies, and beach parties.

Feel the ocean's sound, sunscreen's aroma, and even the taste of ice cream!
If “no concerns” is on your checklist, you must have chosen some of the Riu all-inclusive resorts! They have excellent ratings and high standards for everything (restaurant, service, accommodations, and #beach). Since they are some of the few resorts in Mexico without a timeshare on-site, you won't ever have to deal with pushy salespeople.
We wholeheartedly recommend these hotels to anyone! So, are you ready to reserve a trip with us at a Riu Resort and have the most memorable trip?
