"Riu Playacar sits on the soft, white, beautiful Playacar beaches. The 386-room accommodation isn't the most impressive all-inclusive in town."

"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."

"With candy-colored palapa-roofed bungalows and a great location—on the sand but just two blocks from the town's upscale northern end—this may be the perfect beach resort."

Travel + Leisure
"This massive Caribbean resort, which dates to 1982, may not be heaven on earth, but it does have white sand beach, a sea of shaded palapas, and an ocean of palm trees."
