Riu Playacar-how far from town?
Just booked a 4 night package at Riu Playacar. Last year I went to Reef Club and loved it, as it was a 'jungle' atmosphere. I've noticed that Riu is very, very cut back and that the room views are all looking at the buildings across the way with a walkway in between. I like to sit on my balcony in late afternoons, so I hope I'm not too dissapointed having nothing to look at but another building and a walkway! Anyway, I've seen conflicting reports about just how far it is from the town of Playa Del Carmen. Some have said 15 minutes, others have said 40 minutes! What's the 'real' deal? Thanks!

All of the rooms have pretty much the same view since the buildings (6 of them) face the main walkway of the resort. We sat out on the porch and enjoyed the breezes, but no view of the beach. I'd ask for the front four buildings so the noise from the entertainment shows in the evening won't bother you.<BR><BR>There is also a shopping plaza directly across the street from Riu Playacar and it has some nice stores and a bank.

Thanks Christi!<BR>Can you tell me..just how late does the 'evening entertainment' last? I was thinking of trying to bribe the desk into giving us a corner room close to the pool, as I don't mind noise during the day, and thought the views might be better, but not if I'm going to be kept up all night from the 'entertainment'!
