Great time, great value, great location
RIU Playacar hotel. Very clean, getting a little dated while being very comfortable. Excellent staff in all areas (Oscar our housekeeper is brilliant). Google this hotel and see its excellent location, on the beach with excellent pools and lots of sunbeds! It has everything anyone would want on a holiday, great food, great drinks, great staff and great atmosphere. Rooms are large and kept VERY clean! We stayed in an adjoining room, which meant a doorway between rooms. At night next door room light would shine through and we could hear their TV, thankfully it did not disturb us, but maybe some insulation could be fitted to improve this. This is the only reason for not giving rooms a 5.

3rd times a charm
Third visit in 2024. The best! From front desk to bar staff to management - lovely people and hotel. Only complaint is a few clouds one day :-).

Relaxing
The room was clean and large enough. Thank god for a/c. I liked how children’s activities and pool were on one end of the resort and we were allowed to stay in an adult area. Food was not great but was really good. We had an amazing relaxing time here.

Great place to stay
Resort was amazing, room was clean, staff was friendly, courteous and very helpful. Only knock we had was the food. Buffet was sub par at best. Food was cold and dry right when it opened. Travatoria(the Italian place) was the only place that had edible food. The ala carte items were delicious. I would go the playacar again. But not stay here because of the food
