RIU Yucatan was a good place to stay. On the upside, the kitchen workers kept the place very clean, there was a good variety of food for my 4 night stay, the optional restaurants were good and provided freshly cooked steak and seafood at 2 of the restaurants ("Sicilia" Italian restaurant "La Margarita" steakhouse.) I had the ribeye at La Margarita and the Salmon at Sicilia, the Salmon was very good and the ribeye was okay. The grounds were kept up very well and the pool experience and entertainment were very good. If there was a downside I would say the optional restaurants were under-staffed and don't expect to get checked into your room until 3PM, we got in very early (8am) but waited until around 3 for our room. Unlike Baja many of the workers don't speak or understand english well, although they were all very respectful and tried to help. I would stay at RIU Yucatan again,

Property was horrible and definitely not a 5 star. Got food poisoning from the hotel food on the first day there (only drank bottled water and no ice). Room in poor condition with several broken pieces of wood in room, unsafe broken outlet missing parts, rust and black mold in shower, shower pan was peeling. Couple of days in and cold water stopped working along with no water in toilet. Had to pack up the whole family and move to another room (didnt even upgrade us or offer anything. New room was not in much better shape with even more rust along with cracked bathroom sink. No concierge or room service, pool was tiny and crowded with not much room to swim and kept getting hit with volleyballs, swim up bar was not a real swim up bar and had to get out of pool to get a drink. Food was horrible with steak being rubbery and gristle, wasn't a single good meal there. If this is what Riu considers a 5 star property, i will never stay at a Riu property again.

My favorite thing about the hotel was the location. The property is located in a safe location with guards before entering the neighborhood. We rented a car so it made it easy to get everywhere, highly recommend. The pool closes at 7pm fyi, even though they initially told us it closed at 8pm my 11 year old found that upsetting. I let them know about the misinformation but they didnt care and really couldnt tell me what time the pool closed. Pools should stay opened until 10pm at least. Close your drapes because the ac in the room was preset, so be preparred for the room to be a little hot especially after a day in the sun. The food was below average besides the steak house. There was alot of reheated food at the buffet, everything was dry and overcooked. Unfortunately had to throw alot away. RIU do better, quality control. Recommend the lemonade at the bar. Recommend the party on Friday that was fun. Recommend the Michael Jackson show on Sunday. The hotel for cost..not worth it, keep looking.

In need of a renovation/update. The hotel staff is wonderful. A few of the “green shirts” or shift leads I believe, are a little fussy. Hotel management is great. Entertainment staff is amazing. Great stay. If we came again, we may stay at Tequila or Playacar and then hang out at Yucatán during the day (mostly because of room accommodations).
