We just got back from 2 glorious weeks at the Riu Tequila. We were there from March 17 through to March 31, 2007. The resort is beautifully planted, with lots of lush vegetation everywhere. The service was fantastic and the food choice was varied. We at no time found ourselves lacking for anything. The rooms are a nice size, with the 2nd floor rooms having cathedral ceilings, adding to the illusion of size. The balconies are a good size and have the Riu expandable, drying rack on them, a very handy feature.

The short walk down to the beach only took us 6 minutes at a leisurely pace, the whole time sheltered under arbors. The tram only takes a couple of minutes should you go that route and is on a load and go system, rotating 2 trams.

There is a nice shopping area just a 2 minute walk to the left as you leave the resort - the Plaza Playacar. It has a nice selection of stores and there are a few on the Mexican Street over at the Yucatan. The walk into town only took 25 minutes again at a leisurely pace, or you can grab a cab at the hotel main entrance for just $5.00US each way. Where they drop you off, for the return trip you will find lots of drivers across the street waiting for you.

The shopping in Playa del Carmen and in Cozumel is fantastic. The vendors are not too bad - Jamaica is far worse. There seems to be a jewelry store at every turn and their prices seem good - don't forget to barter for everything at these stores. The tours offered by our tour operator can be had more cheaply by going in town to Sergio's or at the GrayLine kiosk at the Plaza Playacar - ask for Angel there.

On the whole, we have always liked where we have vacationed and have made the best of our time and taken advantage of what the various areas have had to offer. This was no exception here. We took the ferry to Cozumel, toured Chichen Itza, Tulum, Xel Ha, Coba, Xcaret and enjoyed them all. We have liked other places in the past, but not to the extent we would return to the same resort, if we returned to the same destination. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Riu Tequila and for the first time have said it is a resort we would go back to. This resort gets our recommendation.
