I was a little concerned about what I had read about the Riu Yucatan here and deep down was not looking forward to being dissapointed. How wrong was I. Along with my new wife I stayed there at the start of July for two weeks and we loved every minute of our time. We were greeted by friendly staff on... more

Really had mixed feelings about the hotel due to some of the comments but decided to... more
