The food needs improvement. Breakfast is basically egg and bread for me at the buffet, not much choice for meat. Although i like their juices, you can tell it is real fruit and not from a box. Lunch and supper are not good either for both buffets and restaurants, but buffets are worst. The pastas and rice dishes are either under cooked or over done. Meat are over cooked. Waiters at the buffets are in charge of too many tables, you do not see them as much compare to the other resorts/hotels i had been, but they will help you and accommodate your needs of you see them. I feel like the waiters and cooks are over worked compare to other hotels/ resorts i had been. Also, if you booked a hotel at Tequila, asking for e new towels in exhange of your wet once at Yucatan and Playacar, well good luck, some staff does not allow that ( but some do), you have to use a wet towel over and over or just go back to Tequila which is not beach front. Lastly, from Tequila to Yucatan hotel you can walk since Tequila is not beach front. Riu does offer a golf cart that will bring you from Tequila to Tucatan if you feel tired, specially when you have small kids. The problem is they only provide one golf cart. With that much guests 1 golf cart is not enough. It is either you walk back or you wait for a long time. Walking is okey for adults but when you have kids that are way too tired from swimming, or older people that has knee issues riding the golf cart is always a better option.

I did not realize when I booked the hotel that it was not beachfront. Though it is just located behind Riu Yucatan, the photos online are most of the Yucatan not the Tequila. Your stay at the Tequila does include the Yucatan beach and pool access s well as lunchtime buffet and all the poolside bars. Having said that, there is a golf cart shuttle that runs throughout the day where you can be at the beach in about one minute. Or you can take a 5 to 10 minute walk from the lobby and be over at the Yucatán where you have access to everything except the restaurants. I have to say the staff was very efficient, friendly, and always available at all the restaurants, poolside and bar keeping everything clean with friendly prompt service. Pool temp was great. Food was above average. If you stay all day at the Tequila everything is a 3-5 minute walk away no matter where you are. The only reason this won’t be our go to resort is the amount of kids. It’s a wonderful resort but for our preference there were far too many kids. We did love our stay tho!
