RIU Tequila

Great holiday, Fantastic location just a 10 mins taxi ride or 30 minute walk to 5th Avenue in Playa del Carmen. All the staff were very polite and friendly. The rooms are spacious, cleaned daily and good wardrobe and draw space . There are optics/spirits in the rooms, the mini bar was refilled every day . There are 3 Al a Carte restaurants on site, they are all very good, In fact the quality of food in all the restaurants is very good. The Neon and White parties are really good and well worth taking part in. The Beach is a short stroll away and you can use the facilities of the Riu Yucatan and the Playacar on the beach. The Beach is very clean with hundreds of sunbeds. I will be going again and taking more people with us -- cant fault this hotel, would recommend to all.

Visited the Riu Tequila in 2004 and 2016 and we didnt think the Hotel could get any better, We re-visited this August 2019 after the refurbishment and the Hotel was beyond our expectations it was better on every level we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. From start to finish we had an amazing holiday the cleanliness is outstanding the staff are brilliant especially Jeremias from the restaurant and veronica from the hotel bar, the whole staff couldnt do more for us. We spent most days down on the beach which is a very short walk and the Caribbean beach is fantastic crystal clear sea. The pools are great especially the pool bar and the new riu land splash pool. We did two trips one was a catamaran over to Isla mujeras which was one of the best days out we have ever had the staff were brilliant and Fernando the host was superb, our second trip was Xel-Ha which we have visited before but had to go and see it again because it is surreal a must visit to anyone that goes. Overall we would like to thank everyone especially the Riu Tequila for making our family Holiday one we wont forget see you all soon. Hopefully next year. 😉👍

Just returned from a 2 week holiday here. And here is what I believe to be a fair review on the hotel. Check in was fast and good. Very friendly staff. Rooms were clean and well appointed. Fridge stock regularly and room cleaned daily. Pools, one of the reasons that we only gave 4 and not 5 stars - extremely warm and not pleasant. We used the pools at The Playacar after 2 days and they were fab, cool and much more welcoming. Food was OK, we have had much better at other RIU hotels. The speciality restaurants were not worth going to, in our opinion. The buffet got rather monotonous after the first week as the food was similar or the same each day / night. Pancakes at breakfast were awesome The bats and entertainment were also very good. Any cocktail you van think of can be made. All in all we had an excellent holiday, but if we were ever to return to this area we would probably book The Playacar to save us walking to it every day to use their pools
