Just an hour away from the bustling metropolis of Cancún, the Riu Playacar All Inclusive Hotel is located in Playa del Carmen, within the Playacar hotel resort area, a peaceful haven of Mexican charm on the Yucatan Peninsula. The hotel is on the edge of a magnificent white sandy beach, with crystal clear turquoise waters and a coral reef, with a complete underwater world waiting to be discovered by scuba- diving enthusiasts. Ancient archeological cities are close by, and travelers can take one of the nearby ferries to discover the island of Cozumel.
A resort complex with one main building and two-story bungalows, the Riu Playacar is surrounded by 16,000 square meters of lush tropical gardens and walkways, just a few steps away from the beach. Guests who chose to stay at this all-inclusive resort need never stray from its many restaurants, beach and pool activities and welcoming guestrooms: The resort comprises two outdoor pools, children's pool, terrace-solarium, spa tub, children's playground and two well-lit tennis courts.

In the main building, couples can taste a variety of drinks and cuisines at the hotel's many bars and restaurants with terraces. In the evening, guests can walk over to La Piñata Disco at the sister property, Riu Tequila, to while the night away.

The resort's 386 guestrooms and suites are all air conditioned, with contemporary Caribbean wooden furniture, dressed with drapes, upholstery and bedspreads in rich reds, yellows and golds. Guestrooms come with separate bathrooms equipped with showers and hair dryers, ceiling fans, mini-bars and liquor dispensers, satellite televisions, and balconies or terraces. The suites have living-rooms areas, walk-in dressing rooms and bathtubs.

All inclusive, the Riu Playacar offers leisure travelers a romantic getaway or intimate family time away from the demands of busy schedules, where the only worry is which restaurant to chose, which drink to try, where to play, or, in the evenings, whether to watch live entertainment or lounge on their private balconies and enjoy the silence in the warm, soft ocean breeze.
