Quick taxi ride to downtown Playa Del Carmen. You will not wait long. Download the RIU app so you can do everything from order room service, refill the minibar, or anything else you could need. Beach is awesome for long walks. Sun chairs easy enough to get full shade to full sun. A few vendors selling things on the beach but they leave you be if not interested. The restaurants and buffets are good, plenty of choices. The staff is pleasant and make your stay great.
