“Riu Yucatan certainly has its charms; the beach is fantastic, perfect for families because of the calm waves. I think it's a lively place, perhaps too lively if you prefer solitude, but the food has a nice variety, even if some areas could use a refresh. The wild animals wandering the grounds are a unique touch, adding to the overall appeal.”
