Riu Palace Riviera Maya

Considered to be a premium Riu resort, you will have access to all of the other properties within the Playacar area, including Riu Palace Mexico, Riu Playacar, Riu Tequila and Riu Yucatan. This means you can change up your scenery every day; lounge by new pools, eat at new restaurants and meet new people. Located roughly 2 mi from the heart of Playa del Carmen, the tropical oasis has a relaxed atmosphere that is far removed from the thumping nightlife and club district. This also means that the white sandy beach is maintained at a picturesque standard, plus seaweed is raked up for your convenience.

A wide range of cuisines are available to order including Brazilian, Japanese, Mexican and International Fusion. At Don Manolo you will find a buffet to feast on, with something to please every palate. Don Manolo has live cooking stations to watch, as well as theme nights throughout the week including seafood, gala, Caribbean and Asian.

The resort has a dedicated sports bar that broadcasts live games from all around the globe. Tasty meals such as hot dogs and salads are available as well as a fully stocked bar. To pass the time in between games, there is air hockey and billiards tables.

Daily group fitness classes are run by energetic trainers and include stretching, toning, cardio, yoga and aqua aerobics. You can also have a hit of beach volleyball or ping pong whenever you’d like. Kayaking, sailing, windsurfing and bodyboarding equipment is available for use out in the ocean.
