Clubhotel Riu Tequila

An introduction to Clubhotel Riu Tequila

This hotel's got a lot going for it. And we do mean a lot. Surrounded by palm trees and dotted with shady coconut thatch umbrellas. Then there's the beach at the Riu Yucatan. A five minute walk through lush tropical gardens and you're standing on powdery white sands, looking out to sea. Don't fancy the stroll? No problem. There's a shuttle service that'll whisk you down in no time. So pool and beach-wise, this hotel definitely gets the thumbs up. And the same goes for the service. The staff go out of their way to make sure you don't have to lift a finger. For instance, when you're lounging around down by the pool, you won't even have to move from your sunlounger - the poolside waiter service means your drinks come to you. And the All Inclusive food's really good, too. Take breakfast, for example. There's sizzling bacon. Eggs made to order. Fresh fruit. Pastries. And more types of cereal than you can shake a spoon at. It's the same story come dinnertime with sumptuous buffets piled with all sorts of tempting dishes. From sushi to hot dogs, from pizza to carvery roasts, you'll be spoilt for choice. Want to burn off some of those calories? Then join in with the salsa lessons and get in the Latin swing of things. Head down to the pool and join in a fast-paced game of water polo. Or perhaps take advantage of the introductory scuba-diving lessons on offer. If golf's more your thing, there's a beautiful 18-hole golf course just next door to the complex. And as if that wasn't enough to be going on with, the Riu Tequila is snuggled into the Riu Playacar Resort which means when you've exhausted everything on offer here you can hop across to the Riu Yucatan or the Riu Playacar and see what's going on over there too.
