    Amazing Riu Tequila

    Love the tequila! Second time we have been now and still as amazing as ever. The staff are fantastic, really look after you. Big shout out to Rangel & Mateo! Food is great, so much choice for everyone. The speciality restaurants are a nice touch, feels like a date night! Housekeeping are lovely and friendly. The pools are great, plenty of them and always sun beds available. The entertainment team in the day are a good laugh and get you involved if you want to. Aqua aerobics is so much fun! Evening entertainment, again, something for everyone. All the staff at the tequila work really hard and they are a credit to you Riu! We’ll be back soon!

    Fab resort!

    Great place for a winter break! Service, food & facilities all excellent. Beach a short stroll away and a vibrant town to walk to also. Travelled with two teens who loved the activities and independence.

    A fantastic week away

    We had a fantastic week away with RIU Tequila. For an all inclusive, we thought it was fantastic value, even free unlimited drinks in the rooms which we thought was quite rare. The staff were amazing, always willing to help and the pool staff were always vibrant and energetic, creating a good atmosphere outdoors. The food on offer was always amazing, so tasty and so much variety. The events they had on were also fantastic if you're a bit younger and like to party- their white party was one of the best hotel events I've ever been too. Definitely recommend and would be willing to come back!

    Second Time at Tequila, and Still a Great Time

    This was our second time at the RIU Tequila, and we had a great time! Food seemed better than the first time, and overall we had a relaxing time. We want to give a special shoutout to all the hardworking staff that made our stay even more enjoyable. Everyone really went out of their way to help us out, and that really left an impression on us. From our housekeeper, to all the foodservice and bartending staff, to those that welcomed us at the front desk, everyone was really helpful. Rooms could use a little bit of a touch up. Our bathroom door had a hard time closing, but it was not a dealbreaker. If we could have one suggestion, is to have cushions on the chairs in the balconies. They would help make sitting out there more comfortable. Tips: Take earplugs to help drown out the noise. Walks are pleasant, but take comfy shoes or sandals Insulated tumblers are great for cold drinks on the beach We will definitely be back!
