    Great resort

    The resort is located in a very safe gated area. It’s across the street of a beautiful beach. The food at the buffets was great. The guacamole & salsa verde was the absolute best. We were able to use the facilities at other RIU hotels but be sure to pick up & return your towels only at Riu Tequila. Great place for families. Rooms were nice. Staff courteous and helpful.

    RIU Tequila

    The RIU resorts are always consistent with their service and quality. We have stayed a few different ones and have never had any issues.

    Excellent Location and Stay

    The hotel is ideally situated close to the beach (short walk) but has enough pool side sunbathing areas that there’s no need to visit the beach if you don’t want to. The food quality and bar service is excellent, as are the Staff!
