We were a party of 10 and first time at Riu Playacar. We were given the rooms we chose on Expedia when we made our reservations, building 7 with ocean views. And the view was gorgeous! Our rooms were very clean as well as the whole resort. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food was good for a resort.
