The hotel and staff were amazing. Beautiful location that felt secluded with a quick walk to the beach. We have stayed at other Riu hotels and have never been disappointed. We will continue to visit other Riu locations because of this. Best hotel chain we have ever experienced.

So we arrived to our hotel rather late in the evening and upon arrival they said they had to move us across the street to stay at a different Riu. They sent us to Riu Playacar. The hotel was good however we would have rather stayed at tequila as it was a family reunion . I would suggest going to any of the riu hotels in the area as they were all nice and a very short walk between all of them if you want to explore.

Riu Tequila is a beautiful property with a beautiful beach within walking distance. The employees work hard to keep it clean and provide entertainment. Some of the food was delicious, some was a little disappointing, notably the hamburgers from Pepe’s Foods. I miss the more broadway-like shows they used to have and could take a pass on the dance nights like Neon Night. Overall, with the aforementioned exceptions, an excellent time.

I have stayed at a Riu in the past and had a great experience, and this was the same case. There were just a few things that I wasn’t the biggest fan of. The first is how difficult it was the get the temperature right in the shower, next is there was no shampoo and conditioner, only a hair and body wash combo. We were not the biggest fans of the specialty restaurants but loved the buffet!! Overall we had a great time, just a few things I wish I know about prior to going!

Initially we were really bothered that the hotel/resort was NOT on the beach. When I inquired this with staff, they acknowledged they use photos from their sister resort for their website. EXTREMELY disappointed. Tried to communicate w Travelocity and nothing was resolved. It was a 8-9 minute walk to the beach everyday. RIU Tequila itself was nice/average. Staff was wonderful and there was entertainment at RIU Tequila. Downside was the bathroom in the rooms did not have a door which meant I would have to leave the room for my teenage kids to shower and they had to do the same. Not very accommodating at all.
