Dear Thomas,Thank you very much for your feedback and positive evaluation.We are happy to know that you enjoyed our service and we hope you continue to consider us for your future visits. Have a lovely day, Hotel Riu TequilaOnline Reputation Manager
This was our first time staying at an all inclusive resort. We just did not know what to expect there were so many people they had to care for. They did a great job but when you have thousands of people getting free food and alcohol. The quality of food is going to be low, and the buffet was more like a zoo feeding. Everyone’s reaching over you at the buffet. I will say even with the amount of people they did a great job keeping things tidy. But when you focus all your attention on cleaning up after people you have no time left to do the little things like clean the walls. It wasn’t dirty by no means. And I am sure this place is great for people looking to get unlimited amounts of food and alcohol. I just usually would prefer quality over quantity. This review is not meant to be a bad review for the resort just a little informative for people like myself.

My Family and I had a great time here. It was my 12 year old son , my partner and myself. The beach wasn't that far we would walk every morning to the beach and then eat at the beach club and stay at the pool attached to the beach club it was a great time. We will be returning

Riu Tequila is surrounded by its counterparts of the same Riu franchise. After having walked and participated in the activities, Riu tequila is the resort to be at if what you’re looking for is ambiance, night life and party. Excellent experience from beginning to end.

Let me start with the CONS first
1. The property is not ON the beach. It is across the street and requires 10-15 min of walking; which is not too bad considering there are other properties that may require that long a walk depending on where you are located. However, there is a shuttle that runs regularly. The walk through full-grown tree-shaded archway is nice.
2. The rooms are not spacious and can be a little tight for a family of 4 (w/small kids). You have to be in the shower or toilet to change for privacy.
Don't miss the PROS now
1. RUI knows how to put on a party. Friday night parties are grand. They beat some of the New Year parties I have seen in my life. So if you are here, be prepared to have a blast. You'll see guests from neighboring RUI properties (4-5) at this event.
2. Customer service is exemplary. You tip them and they will take extra care of you. Don't be cheap and tip like you tip in the US.
3. The beach and pools are awesome. Drinks are NOT watered down. Can't prevent guests from holding chairs with towels and not showing up. But they have enough chairs and still can be found and moved around.
4. The buffets are abundant and tables are managed very efficiently. The inhouse restaurants are nice, but can has longer wait times
5. Step out and explore the local food scene (10-15 min walking distance) for a break from the buffet and resort if you are there for a longer time.

Traveled with family, 12 year old and 4 year old. The staff is so friendly! There was so much to do for all of us. Food was good. I would say the only thing I didn’t enjoy was the two double beds pushed together to make a King bed. False advertising in my opinion.

The property charged me double the price upon arrival because they misquoted me a price online. They did not stand by what I had already paid for 2 adults and 2 kids. I had to pay $975 upon checking in for 2 kids. There are better cheaper properties around, with better food, and closer to beach. There is over a 1 mile walk to the beach and the shuttle stops working during the hottest time of the day 1-3pm. Dont waste your time or money here! There are better placed to vacation in Mexico

Your comments have been shared with our management team as we understand that there is always room for improvement and despite your inconveniences, we hope that you will give us another chance to serve you again in the near future.Best wishes, Hotel Riu TequilaOnline Reputation Manager
Although my reservation said I had paid for 2 adults and 2 kids, the hotel made me pay an extra $945 USD because they claimed I had not paid for the kids. Very shady. I stayed anyway because the rest of my family was also staying at the same property.
There are better hotel and resorts on the water (across the street) for cheaper with better food choices than this hotel.
During the hot hours of the day, 1-3pm, the shuttle to the beach shuts downs. It is over 1 mile walk to the beach across the street.
Keep looking....

Our first stay at the Riu Tequila was 21 years ago. We came back on this trip with our two sons to show them where we stayed when we were expecting our oldest son. The resort did not disappoint and our young adult sons had a blast.

10/10 experience!!! Amazing dining options, always something to do because the entertainment team works so hard to make sure there are always activities. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The beach is about a 5 minute walk or there is option for a shuttle but we just walked. Beach was amazing. We had access to other resorts around and had the best time. Will definitely be going back!!

The property is ok! It’s not anywhere near the beach. You have to walk 8 minutes to get to the beach or wait for a golf cart. Also if you want a drink or food you have to walk to the bar on the other side of the property and no one to serve you at the beach. Food is not good. Rooms are very noisy and the property has animals running around and they will attack you if you are carrying food in your hand.

This property needs more maintenance urgently
Front desk furniture need to be replaced
Signs need light, at night you can’t see where is your room
They need more beach beds, we were checking for more than one hour to get one
