Riu Tequila

I was travelling with a friend. The place was clean, the food was good, the entertainment was very fun and it was worry free. The beach is a 10 min walk from the resort on the other side of the street. I would'nt go with kids but for adults its awesome!! The lunch menu wasn't as good as breakfast and dinner. [Details]

Very clean hotel, great customer service and friendly atmosphere! Food options were excellent.
We enjoy our stay !
It is not front beach hotel but walk to the beach is only 5 minutes. [Details]

Great hotel
Great Shows
Staff is awesome
100% go back [Details]

This resort was stunning. We loved every part of it. It exceeded our expectations. [Details]

The RIU Tequila was such a beautiful place to stay. We were given a room with a King bed! Which was so unexpected, it was a treat. Room service was great, food was unbelievably awesome every single day. Always fresh. The bartenders were great at every bar. Pools were clean. The ocean was beautiful. [Details]

As we expected it was a clean room well maintained. For me and my wife it is the fourth time we come to Riu Tequila and we liked it very much. I can appreciate the care with which everyone was working following the pandemic rules. [Details]

This is our 2nd stay at the Tequila and was just as great as our 1st. We will be returning next year. Thank you for making our vacation an enjoyable one! [Details]

We loved this Hotel and the location. The beach was a 10 minute walk or we can take the shuttle. Travelled as a Family,9 year old and 14 year old. The Rooms were clean and the staff was Friendly and helpful! Everywhere you look someone is cleaning and making sure the Hotel is kept in order. Their standards are certainly to par. This hotel is in the middle of natural vegetation and wildlife as there is still much surrounding jungle. The "Coati" are friendly but not to be pet or fed. They don't bother you as long as you don't bug them. Food was awesome in the buffet, a wide variety and I found every night to have a different theme. The Mexican restaurant ironically was lacking in quality. Stick to the Buffet, the Mexican food in the Buffet was awesome. Everything was FRESH! EveryDay from Breakfast to dinner you can't go wrong. As a Riu partner Hotel you can enjoy the amenities at the Neighbouring Riu Hotels, the Yucatan and Palace. Which we did! Lunch and shows! The Shows at the Tequila were fun. The Neon party is all ages as with all shows, my 9 year old danced away! The bars were well stocked in the room complete with 4 one litre bottles of water per day a six pack of beer, soft drinks and vodka, rum , gin ,and Tequila! The drinks at the bar were typical of a Mexican all inclusive watered down, due to the lack of Governing agency as we have in Canada when it comes to liquor control Boards. This is typical of an all inclusive, keep this in mind and expect nothing more! If you want a strong drink go into town! Town was a 6 minute cab ride and $6 US. Or $7 US depends on the driver. You can also safely walk into town, about 30 minutes! We did both and felt very safe. The Hotel Riu Tequila is part of a Gated Complex so again, Very safe! One bit of advise, do not book your excursions or day trips with your vacation reps ! There is a lot of people on the beach that are selling the same excursion with the same waivers and insurances for less! The rep is actually a third party sending you to the same place with that same person on the beach running your excursion! If renting a car to the neighbouring Island OF Cozumel, rent on the Island Not in Town. It is cheaper on the Island and you get the same car! Overall Great trip, Great Food, Great People, Very Safe, Kid Friendly, Adult Friendly, Lots to do, Very Clean. Visit the town , go Snorkelling! ENJOY! You are on Vacation!! [Details]

beautiful hotel, gentle staff, nice music and shows, food ok not so bad not the best... [Details]

The place and beach were nice but the food was so salty and intertainments was not good at all , was boaring . [Details]

We visited Playa del Carmen Feb 24-Mar 3/19. We were greeted by friendly staff, the check-in was pleasant and smooth. We made our way to our rooms and shortly after our bags arrived. The room in the 21 block was nice, however located in the back. The view was limited and our swim suits would not dry, so we requested another room with a frontview and were relocated to the18 block the following day. The new room was modern bright and well maintained by the cleaning staff. The buffet was a good variety and there is something for everyone. The pools were cleaned daily and lovely. The entertainment staff were enthusiastic and had people participating in many events, including Bingo! [Details]

We spent a wonderful week at this smaller resort the first week of February and thoroughly enjoyed it. From the time we checked in until leaving we felt that the staff couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable. The food and drinks were all premium quality and the variety was amazing. It was our 30 wedding anniversary and a quick email before we arrived was answered right away. When we got to our room we were greeted with a anniversary banner above our bed and chocolate covered strawberries were on our table. Also they offered us a special dinner but unfortunately we ran out of time to take them up on their offer. We won't hesitate to come back to this beautiful resort. [Details]

The hotel was nice, very clean, food was good and staff very friendly [Details]

Love it [Details]

This was our second 2 week stay at the hotel.We would likely visit again. The hotel style is perfect for it's charm and uniqueness. Would hate to see it change to a modern glass and marble hotel. The small compounds located among lovely pathways are so much nicer than a modern, many storied building. I hope it never changes. The staff in all departments are friendly and courteous. We were surprised to be remembered by several of the Jalisco staff. Overall one of our best vacation experiences. [Details]

The service at this facility was outstanding. Not only did our group not encounter any problems we didn't see anyone else having any issues either. Everything was on point and ran effortlessly. [Details]

Riu Tequila was the perfect place.staff were very friendly and worked very hard.food was excellent.felt very safe there. [Details]

Nice beach other than bad seaweed days and ants. Nice rooms. Food was not much better than Cuba...very salty and over-cooked... breakfast sausages are more like jerky.Staff are mostly very friendly and tried hard to please. Near the end of our stay the no-see-um were bad in the lobby and show area. [Details]

It was beyond all expectations! Traditional and accomodating in every way. [Details]

Our 1 week stay at the RIU Tequila was most enjoyable. The resort was exceptionally clean and the facility and services exceeded our expectations. Though not located directly on the beach, the short stroll (or shuttle ride) to the beach was not an issue. Access to the beach front RIU Yucatan and its facilities provided the best of both resorts. Everything you'd expect from a 5 star resort and then some. [Details]

Extremely clean. Polite and helpful workers. Food was excellent [Details]

lovely hotel with pleasant and helpful employees and nice rooms. [Details]

A nice experience in the Playacar area. The food is fantastic with so many choices for every taste. The beaches are gorgeous with white sand and turquoise color. Very close to Playa del Carmen.
Probably the weakest point is the night show that needs a lot of improvement.
The hotel is highly recommended. [Details]

everything was best [Details]

friendly crew, good food & entertainment [Details]

Had a great vacation - 7 days stay at Riu Tequila. Nice that we had access to all three Riu resorts. Rooms were nice. Beach was a 5 minute walk. Food was good. Majority was buffet. Mexican and Steakhouse were the best a la carts. If we were going back to Mexico - would definitely stay there again. Felt very safe. [Details]

The staff are exceptional. Atmosphere is welcoming. Rooms are well kept and very clean. You can enjoy quiet relaxation or enjoy the livlier atmospere of the pool.Evening will bring cocktails and a great show. [Details]

You cannot go wrong with this hotel. riu pulls it off as per usual fashion. Will be going bsck [Details]

Hotel was great Loved the villas The staff was so nice and friendly and always working [Details]

Excellent staff. Great beach. Good food.
We went during March Break when prices are absurdly inflated. If you can get a good deal on this hotel...it's worth it. [Details]
