A newcomer to the Riviera Maya, the Riu Playacar is playful and
fun! This exquisite All-Inclusive resort is decorated with the
tropical treasures of the Caribbean -bamboo, rattan, hand
painted murals of birds, and banana trees. A smaller, more
intimate style of resort, Riu Playacar offers pastel colored
villa-style blocks of rooms immersed in tropical gardens. Sago
palms, thatched-top restaurants, flowers, and a large beachfront
pool create an atmosphere of Hawaiian flavor mixed with
Caribbean spice. Ideal for the free-spirited traveler who values
beach, casual but appealing surroundings, and relaxation.
