RIU Hotels will consolidate their presence in Playa del Carmen, in the Mexican Caribbean (known as the Maya Riviera), by opening their fourth establishment in December which will make their offer up to 4,000 beds. The new establishment will be called Riu Playacar, which is the name of the modern residential urbanisation with an 18 hole golf course. This is a beautiful 5 star hotel on the sea front, next to the Riu Palace Mexico, the chain's star hotel abroad.

The RIU hotels in Mexico attract a high number of visitors from the Argentine, U.S.A. and Canada, as well as Central Europeans and Spaniards.

At the same time, Riu Merengue, a 5 star establishment in Puerto Plata (Dominican Republic) has won the prize “Gold Award Overall Winner” from the British tour operator, Thomson, that judges it to be the best holiday hotel of the year, according to the evaluation of the clients in a questionnaire after their stay. The award distinguishes the best establishment in Thomson's brochure "Faraway Shores" that contains 165 hotels.
