Nous organisons avec un groupe d'amis (25-35 ans) un petit séjour au Mexique, plus précisement prés de Playa del Carmen.
à la vue des offres disponibles, nous avons trouvé dans notre budget 2 offres sur le même complexe hotelier :le RIU TEQUILA ou le RIU YUCATAN.
Maintenant que choisir?
une partie du groupe souhaite s'amuser avant tout (disco, anims, ambiance) : RIU TEQUILA
L'autre recherche également un peu de tranquilité (sable, plage, vue reposante sur la mer) : RIU YUCATAN.
A votre avis quel compromis peut satisafaire notre groupe?
De l'animation 24/24 mais de la marche pour chaque deplacement et bains!
De la tranquilité mais des soirées loin de notre base?
Je ne peux émettre une opinion sur les Riu de Playacar car nous étions à l'Iberostar Tucan (parfait) qui est voisin de 200m. Vu de l'extérieur, ça avait l'air très bien, bien qu'un peu "m'as-tu vu" (mais il semble que ce soit une constante chez Riu).
J'ai constaté juste une chose qui peut t'intéresser : un se situe sur la plage même, l'autre est en face, ce qui fait qu'il te faut traverser tout l'hôtel + la route + chemin privé pour accéder à la plage 😕.
🙂Bonjour, Je suis déjà allée une fois au Riu Playacar(2002) et L'an passé au Riu Palace. Lorsque nous séjournone à l'un Des Holtes Riu, nous avons acces aux autres alors nous avons effectivement passé du temps et visité tous les Riu de ce secteur. Entre le Téquila et le Yutacan? Le Yucatan est directement sur le bord de la mer mais ces installations sembles un petit peu plus vieilles, ? mais, bon très très bien aussi . Il y a beaucoup de gens au Yucatan(picine bondé de monde..retau. le midi très, très occupé, chises bord de la picine(pas très grande mais ok)toujours toutes prises..mais en contre partie beaucoup d'annimations. Les gens du téquila (qui est de l'autre coté de la rue face au yucatan ) passent la majorité de leurs journée à cette hotel. Les deux hotels se ressemble beaucoup : la qualité de l'hebergement, les sevices offerts et la nourriture.Au Téquila, il y a beaucoup d'animation le soir, les fin d'apres midi à la piscine(très grande et belle). Les gens du téquila semblaient aimé beaucoup l'animation et les sorties le soir.
¨Ca dépend vraiment ce que vous chercher. Pour nous'(nous sommes pas mal plus agé..45 et 50), le playacar était mieux situé, plus récent et plus tranquille alors nous étions content. Le Palace l'année dernière à vraiment été le summum pour nous mais peut-être trop tranquil pour un groupe de votre âge. Enfin, je vous dirais que les deux hotels sont un bon choix. Je crois que la plus grande différence entre les deux est que l'un est située sur le bord de lA MER ET L'AUTRE EST L'AUTRE COTÉ DE LA RUE mais le jours vous avez accès à toutes les infrastructures et la même plage que le Yucatant et le Playacar(ce faits très, très bien à pied). Nous avons jasées avec des clients de l'un et de l'autre qui semblais tous très satisfaits...Bon voyage..Lucy
Le tequila est situé l' autre coté de la rue pour se rendre a la plage il y a une petite voiturette qui nous y amenes ou 5 minutes de marche dans un passage charmant
le tequila est tranquille, pas de va et viens des gens qui vont a la plage.
Le yucatan pas pour moi trop de va et viens le jours
mais reste quand meme une hotel tranquille sauf le jour il ne faut pas oublier que tout les gens du tequila passe par le yucatan pour aller a la plage
La mer est magnifique pas de roche que du beau sable et quelques fois de jolie poisson Ange (angel fish) qui viennent manger sur le bord
I’m planning to go to an all-inclusive resort next April. I know it’s the start of sargassum season, but I was wondering if it really affects swimming. Do hotels clean the beach? Is it still possible to swim?
I’d like to book an all-inclusive trip next April. My criteria: 1) no sargassum, 2) 4 stars or higher, 3) ability to snorkel right from the hotel beach, and 4) safe.
Hey, I’d like to know which hotel in the south doesn’t force you to wake up at 4 AM just to reserve a shady chair, whether it’s at the beach or the pool.
Hi,
For my husband's 50th birthday, we're going to Mombasa for 10 days and 8 nights in March 2026.
I found a hotel, the Kappa Club Crystal Bay Resort, and online reviews for this hotel recommend a guide named Omar. I contacted him via WhatsApp, and he's offering a 2-day, 1-night safari in Tsavo East, a "blue safari," and a Marafa Canyon day trip for 400 € per person.
I’m asking for help from people who’ve already done these excursions because I have no idea what these offers entail.
Thank you for any advice you can give me about this trip.

Hi everyone, I’m writing here because I’m really torn—I want to go on a trip. A vacation? 10 to 12 days, maybe 14 days. Starting March 14th. I’m in a wheelchair but completely independent. I was thinking of going to Martinique, but apparently, the hotels aren’t all-inclusive, which might be a hassle. If you have any advice, that’d be great. Otherwise, I was considering Mexico—a long-time dream. At an all-inclusive hotel with accessibility on one level (since I’m independent but in a wheelchair). Do you know of any nice, budget-friendly hotels with activities in Mexico? Or Zanzibar is also an option for me, same idea.
Thanks in advance for your help! If you have any tips, that would be amazing so I can finally make up my mind and plan my trip without too much stress. I’m looking ahead so I have plenty of time. Feel free to ask questions if you’d like. Thanks for your feedback, have a great evening!
Hi everyone,
happy to be back on this site.
I’m tired of spending hours and hours searching for all-inclusive hotels for my first trip to Mexico to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.
Can anyone recommend 5 or 6 hotel names that meet the following criteria? (I’m not too picky, lol)
1. All-inclusive
2. Adults-only
3. Beautiful beach and pool
4. Hotel for relaxing (no "factory hotels")
5. One-week stay in February 2026
6. A nice hotel (3 or 4 stars) but no need for an ultra-palace
Oh, and I almost forgot the main thing 😉: budget between 3500 € and 4000 € for two, including flights from Montreal-Mexico-Montreal.
Thanks to all of you for your recommendations!

I’m looking into November (first, will it be warm enough for snorkeling in Sharm El Sheikh?) and especially for feedback on hotels. I’ve read that the clientele is mostly Italian or Russian. Are there any French-speaking hotels—or at least mixed ones?
We’re a retired couple and are looking for a hotel around 1,000 € per week.
We’ll be in Cairo beforehand and will take a domestic flight.
Thanks in advance.
We’re thinking of booking an "all-inclusive" trip so we don’t have to worry too much... for a week at the beginning of next September, but we’re torn between several destinations: Crete? Cyprus? Sicily? Sardinia? The only thing we’re really looking for is sunshine. Thanks in advance for any tips you can share!
Hi there,
I’m planning a stay at the Sian Kan in the Riviera Maya and was wondering if anyone’s been there recently. If so, are the location, welcome, services, and food still as excellent as they used to be? I’ve heard that since the train between Cancun and Tulum was built, things might have gone downhill.
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi there, I’m a 43-year-old woman planning to travel solo in early March. I’m not really into "commercial resorts," but if I find a place that fits my criteria, I might be interested. To add to the info in the title, I’m open to various activities, but ideally, it’d include snorkeling, hiking, dance (every evening if possible!), group tours, etc. I’d love to meet people (not necessarily a man—just people in general!). I’m not necessarily aiming for the cheapest resort, but since it’s spring break week and everything’s already pricier, 5-star options are probably out of the question. Thanks!
Hello!
What a pleasure to be back on Voyage Forum!
We’ll be in Venice from March 20th to 24th, and I’m looking (for two couples) for a hotel close to St. Mark’s Square—my husband can’t walk long distances. For four nights with breakfast, our budget is around 1,400 € per couple. To avoid too much walking for him, I’d also prefer a hotel where we could potentially eat dinner in the evenings.
If anyone has any recommendations, thank you in advance to those who reply!
We’re planning a week-long trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights.
We’re looking at staying from March 22nd to 30th: will we still be able to see the Northern Lights, or is it too late in the season?
We found a deal on Voyage Privé that seems like a good price, with a hotel in Reykjavik. If we rent a car, are there any interesting sites we can visit during the day, since we’re tied to returning to Reykjavik every night—or else we’d lose our nights at the hotel!
Hi,
I was planning a trip to Hurghada at the end of March, but it's the end of Ramadan.
Some people are telling me I should avoid it.
What do you think?
Thanks
Hi
I can’t manage to get in touch directly with one of the hotels in Prachuap...
like Prachuap Grand Hotel or Prachuap Beach Hotel...
has anyone been there recently?
or have any info?
Thanks everyone...
Hi there,
We’re heading to Argentina and Chile in February 2025. I’d love to know if it’s recommended to book accommodations (hotels, guesthouses, etc.) in advance, especially in Patagonia? Thanks for your tips!
Hi everyone,
I’d like to book 2 nights at a camp inside Etosha (Halali).
However, online, I’ve found two sites for making this reservation:
The first is the Etosha National Park site: https://etoshanationalpark.co.za
You can’t pay online there—you just submit a reservation request (enquiry).
The second is the NWR (Namibia Wildlife Resorts) site: https://www.nwr.com.na, where you *can* pay online.
Is the latter one reliable?
Thanks so much for your tips!
Frédéric
