This is the third time I’ve stayed at a Riu property, and my first time at the Riu Tequila. The hotel is great, and the staff are wonderful; however, I do feel that the rooms are in need of an update. The food and drinks are good, and the hotel is always very lively. Next time, I’d like to stay at the Riu Palace.

Dirty dishes, cups and glasses in the dining , in stake restaurant- there was someone’s hair in my dish that just was served to me. When we complained to the restaurant manager , he was very aggressive talking to us. Phone system to the reception does not work properly.. there was a very disturbing situation at night when a drunk person was screaming and banging doors into the rooms … we were calling the receptionist during one and a half hour. However the receptionist never picked up the phone….we will never go there again!

Fridge was never restocked. I had to get it myself every time. Fridge was never cleaned (it was set to the coldest when we looked at it and a soda exploded; it was never cleaned up). Staff left dirty cleaning rags in our room. Walls were dirty. The pool was so dirty I got an infection.

Didn’t like shower setup/door. Breakfast cooks were welcoming. Ridiculous to use credits as advertising lure and then can’t use them for anything- that seemed scammy. I did like the food and the beach.
