I have just returned from a week at Riu Playacar, our third trip to this resort and 11th to the PDC area. Everything at the hotel was great. The beach changed daily showing improvement each day. At this time, Riu Playacar is beach locked, you can not get past either Royal Hideway or Viva Wyndam to enable you to walk the beach. Both of those hotels are working very hard to save their hotel grounds. Lucky for Riu Playacar they had plenty of space between the pool/beach so you can enter the water and enjoy - not so in front of Viva or Royal. I counted 5 rows of palms that remain in front of Riu Playacar.

I've attached a few pictures taken on 2/7/07 if you'd like more I can email them to you.

Bring on the questions.
