There is a buffet restaurant and two a la carte venues, one Asian and one Italian.

Overview of Playacar, Mexico

Situated on Mexico’s northeast coast, gently lapped by the Caribbean ocean is Riu Playacar. There is a stunning stretch of sand located immediately on the doorstep of this resort. It’s possible to go from pool to ocean in just a matter of steps. Temperatures here average a steamy 28°C over the summer months although they do frequently hit more. Its proximity to the ocean makes the breeze all that more appealing, especially during those balmy afternoons. Riu Playacar is well situated for families, couples and individuals to really make the most of their holidays to Mexico.

Things to do in Playacar

Playacar is an upmarket coastal resort below the lively city of Cancun. It offers a striking balance between luxury and fun, adrenaline-fuelled activities. From here, it’s easy to get to the neighbouring parks of Xel-Há, Xplor and Xcaret with the latter two offering some wild choices including zip-lining and underground river walks. Chichen Itza is a brilliant day-trip but for something a little closer to home, the nearby ruins of Xaman Ha or the Tulum Ruins offer an authentic insight into Mayan life. Playacar ticks all the boxes when it comes to relaxing, yet exciting holidays to Mexico.
