Hi Miss Sarah
I stayed at the RIU Palace in Playa. It was very new at the time { about 2 years ago}. It was wonderful, great food, great pool, nice beach. I dove with a group called " Scuba Caribe". They were a fantastic outfit. We went to the cenotes, Cozumel and also dove off the hotel beach { very cool dive, saw a school of about 100 Tarpon}. I would definitley stay there again and dive with Scuba Caribe again. I hope you have a great time.
Tom
