"Riu Playacar sits on the soft, white, beautiful Playacar beaches. The 386-room accommodation isn't the most impressive all-inclusive in town." Full review
Star Service "Located across the street from the Riu Palace in the Playacar development, this is an off-beach setting appealing largely to golfers and those who are trying to save a few pesos." Full review

Travel + Leisure "Cancun and the Riviera Maya don't always invoke images of tranquility and privacy, but that's exactly what you'll find at the luxurious Banyan Tree Mayakoba resort"
