We stayed at the Riu Playacar from November 15th to November 29th, 2003. It was a wonderful place. They have the regular restaurant which is buffet style and then 2 other restaurants that you must make reservations for. We went to the steakhouse once and found that the food there didn't compare to the food at the buffet. So we never went back. Food at the buffet was fantastic, so much variety and so fresh. People working at the resort were so nice, couldn't do enough for you. Rooms were spotless everyday. We were told that some of the rooms have a musty smell which being the humid Caribbean stands to reason. Anyway, we took scented candles, and Lysol spray for mold and mildew. The room was musty smelling, although nothing you couldn't live with, but the candles and spray resolved that problem. The mini bar was supposed to be refilled every second day. We did have to call them on 3 different occasions as they neglected to restock with beer. But again, no big deal. Other than than we couldn't possibly have any other complaint. It's a 20 minute walk into Playa del Carmen. Lots of shopping there and lots of restaurants also.
We would highly recommend this resort and if you wish to email with any other questions, feel free.
