Rating8.1Adults OnlySix restaurants and six bars. All specialty restaurants (Sicilia, La Margarita dinner, Shanghai, Mexican Beach Club) require reservations — book on arrival day. La Hacienda main buffet requires no reservation and is the fallback for all three meals. The "Stay at 1, Play at 3" exchange with Riu Tequila and Riu Playacar adds substantial dining variety for longer stays.
