A/C need be cool at room feel fresh at night.
Breakfast buffet very nice and complete but need to ensure that kitchen team follow more often hand wash process and use disposable glove over ready to eat food.

If you book through a 3rd party (travelocity orbitz) you are treated horribly. Property very outdated. Front Desk doesn’t understand the word Hospitality.The linens and towels are thread bare. I am a seasoned traveler and absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND

My stay at Riu Yucatan was very very bad. I have previously visited other Riu properties and this was the worst vacation. To start off, the rooms at the resort were very hot, the AC was not working in many of them. The room also smelled like sewage and they still refused to change us, they made us sleep in those conditions until we were changed. When we went to the lobby to ask if we could be changed, they refused until the day before we left and we were there from Tuesday to Sunday, when we asked if it could be fixed they said it couldn't. When we were at the lobby we heard a lot of people complaining about the AC in their rooms as well. Another thing was no towels were left in our room after it was cleaned, we called the lobby to ask if someone could take some and they took hours, we didn't get our towels till midnight. We did call various times and no one would answer. The customer service was also terrible, we got turned away from the Italian restaurant at the resort because there wasn't tables for 6 people and the worker was very rude and disrespectful to my family, compared to the other family that was there. Keep in mind the restaurant was EMPTY, they had enough tables to sit a family of 6. Terrible hotel, I would not recommend staying here.

If I could give this resort 0 stars, I would. Terrible customer service. The rooms were hot, the managers at the restaurants, specifically, the Italian restaurant was very rude and disrespectful. I would not recommend staying at this property.

The property in general is okay. I upgraded to a Suite which was very nice, perfect for three adults. Large room with a living room area, TV, eating table, king bed and they added a rollaway. Room was clean and in great location. Beach is pretty with palm trees and lounge chairs. Pool was nice. Swim up bar not connected to pool so no swim up. Buffets ran out of food constantly and took a while to refill food, seem short of kitchen personnel. Asian Restaurant also buffet style kept running out of food while only one guy cooking. Although we enjoyed our stay don’t think I would be back to this one.
