“I just returned from Riu Palace in Riviera Maya (Playa del Carmen). This was a solo trip of 6 days and I can honestly say that I was very impressed with my overall stay, especially during the Covid pandemic. The resort was maybe 30% occupied, meaning no large crowds. The entire property was immaculate (pools, walkways, restaurants, beaches, rooms, etc). Every staff member wore a mask at ALL TIMES. They provided temperature checks whenever you entered the resort or any restaurant. Masks were mandatory everywhere with the expectation of the pools or beach. They actually took better precautions than the majority of places in the U.S. (sad...but TRUE!). The drinks were plentiful and NEVER watered down! The servers at the pool go above and beyond to make sure that you are satisfied. I believe I tried every drink imaginable and never had an issue with the service. I do recommend the Espresso Martini...I do not drink coffee often but this cocktail was GREAT. The few negative issues were 1. Although you are supposed to have access to the other 3 surrounding properties, only 1 of the 3 were open. It was not the fault of the resort but due to Covid. 2. The food was average. However I suggest the Japanese restaurant, great sushi! The choice of entree’s were also nice too. I did enjoy the steakhouse, only for the lobster tail. The steak was ok. The Italian restaurant was not as good as I expected neither was the Mexican restaurant. The buffets were your typical buffets. I ate mostly fresh fruit and fish when I did go. 3. Pool entertainment was subpar but they did their best to get guests involved. There were also too many kids at the pool. I’m big on family vacations but it would be nice to have an adult only pool. I took a $7 taxi to 5th Avenue...it was sad to see how their economy is basically nonexistent because of Covid. So many shops, restaurants and bars were closed. But I did luck up and found a small restaurant...where I had (2) fresh Ahi Tuna Tostadas and 2 Corona for $11. I would more than likely stay here again and would recommend this resort to others. If you go during Covid, just remember that it will be different but still enjoyable.”
