The RIU Tequila was a beautiful place to stay. They gave us a room with a King bed! Which was so unexpected it was a pleasure. Room service was great, food was incredibly amazing every day. Always fresh. Bartenders were great at each bar. The pools were clean. The ocean was beautiful.[Details]

My main frustration was not being able to call from Europe. I mean, I called but I couldn't, no matter how many times I tried, even at the front desk. It is a pity that the Riu brand is unable to resolve the issue even after complaining personally to the manager.

Rio Tequila, January 2020

We love this hotel and the location. The beach is a 10-minute walk away or we can take the bus. Traveled as a family, 9 year old and 14 year old. Rooms were clean and staff were friendly and helpful. Everywhere you look someone is cleaning and making sure the hotel is kept in order. Your standards are certainly up to par. This hotel is in the midst of natural vegetation and wildlife, as there is still a lot of jungle around. "Coati" are friendly but should not be petted or fed. They don't bother you as long as you don't bother them. The food was amazing on the buffet, such a wide variety and I found that each night had a different theme. Ironically, the Mexican restaurant was lacking in quality. Stick with the buffet, the Mexican food on the buffet was amazing. Everything was FRESH! Every day, from breakfast to dinner, you can't go wrong. As a Riu partner hotel, you can enjoy the amenities of neighboring Riu, Yucatan and Palace hotels. What did we do! Lunch and shows! The tequila shows were fun. The Neon party is for all ages, as with all shows, my 9 year old danced! The bars were well stocked in the room with 4 liter bottles of water a day, a six pack of beers, soft drinks and vodka, rum, gin and tequila! Drinks at the bar were typical of a watery Mexican all-inclusive, due to the lack of a government agency like we have in Canada when it comes to alcohol control advice. This is typical of an all-inclusive, keep that in mind and don't expect anything more. If you want a stiff drink, go to town! The city was a 6 minute US$6 taxi ride away. Or $7 depends on the driver. You can also safely walk into town - about 30 minutes! We did both and felt very safe. Hotel Riu Tequila is part of a gated complex, so again, very secure! A little advice, don't book your excursions or day trips with your holiday reps! There are a lot of people on the beach selling the same tour with the same disclaimers and insurance for less! The rep is actually a third party sending you to the same place with the same person on the beach running your tour! If you rent a car on the neighboring island of Cozumel, rent it on the island that is not in the city. It's cheaper on the island and you get the same car! Overall a great trip, great food, great people, very safe, kid friendly, adult friendly, lots to do, very clean. Visit the city, dive in! ENJOY! Are you on vacation!![Details]

Not sure if there is something? My only issue had to do with our onsite vacation rep not being 100% truthful as he takes commissions and wants to sell. There are other places in town and on the beach that will sell you the same thing!

We visited Playa del Carmen from Feb 24th to March 3rd/19th. We were greeted by friendly staff, check in was pleasant and smooth. We went to our rooms and shortly after our bags arrived. The room in block 21 was fine, however it was located at the back. The view was limited and our swimsuits wouldn't dry so we requested another front view room and were moved to block 18 the next day. The new room was modern, bright and well looked after by the cleaning staff. The buffet had a good variety and something for everyone. The pools were cleaned daily and were lovely. The entertainment team were enthusiastic and had people attending many events including Bingo![Details]

We spent a wonderful week at this smaller resort the first week of February and really enjoyed it. From the moment we checked in until we left we felt the staff couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable. The food and drinks were top notch and the variety was incredible. It was our 30th wedding anniversary and a quick email before we arrived was responded to immediately. When we got to our room, we were greeted with a birthday banner over our bed and there were chocolate covered strawberries on our table. They also offered us a special dinner, but unfortunately we ran out of time to accept the offer. We will not hesitate to return to this beautiful resort.[Details]

This was our second 2 week stay at the hotel. We would likely visit again. The style of the hotel is perfect for its charm and uniqueness. I would hate to see him move to a modern glass and marble hotel. Small complexes nestled between beautiful streets are much nicer than a modern multi-storey building. I hope it never changes. The staff in all departments are friendly and courteous. We were surprised to be remembered by several Jalisco employees. Overall, one of our best vacation experiences.[Details]

Although not located directly on the beach, the short walk (or bus ride) to the beach was not an issue. The RIU Yucatán beach access and facilities offer the best of both resorts.

The Riu Tequila was a huge disappointment, its service, entertainment and snack bar are abysmal. I expected a lot more for a 4 1/2 resort, but it was more like a 3 star, the walk to the beach was long and the bus didn't run 12-3 hours an hour, you want to go to the beach and take the walk. Riu is in name only and not what you get for your money's worth. If I had to use the Riu it would be the palace as it's the only beautiful one.
Don't drink anything from your cups in the room, I personally saw what happened to the cleaning staff.
Lots of loose animals in the resort which I didn't like, the cocktails were all powdery. There is nothing good to eat after the show, the snack bar is a huge disappointment.[Details]
