Résumé des avis

Guests particularly appreciate the excellent and varied food, the service and welcoming atmosphere, as well as the impeccable cleanliness of the hotel and rooms. The beach is also praised for its beauty, cleanliness, and inviting atmosphere for walks. However, it is sometimes mentioned that the beach can have minor drawbacks such as seaweed or a lack of shade, and that its distance occasionally necessitates a shuttle service.

The Riu Tequila is a very beautiful resort. The room was lovely. We were a little disappointed to have a sofa bed as a second bed, but it was fine. We did a lot of walking during our vacation since our room was far from the restaurants and the beach. There's a golf cart that takes you to the beach if you don't want to walk. The buffets are very good and varied. There are two à la carte restaurants: the Mexican restaurant at Yucatan (not great) and Black Cow (good). The Italian restaurant (good) offers an à la carte main course, but there's also a buffet. The Bambou Asian buffet is very good. Despite the sargassum seaweed on the beach, the water was beautiful. We saw some fish. Beautiful white sand. It's magnificent! There are always plenty of chairs. The entertainment at the Yucatan pool was great. The aqua aerobics was very fun! The shows are entertaining, though a bit late for children. There are nice little slides for kids. The staff was courteous and welcoming.

Le Riu Tequila est un très beau resort. Très belle chambre. Nous avons été un peu déçu d’avoir un divan lit comme deuxième lit. Mais ça allait. Nous avons beaucoup marché pendant les vacances étant donné que notre chambre etait loin des restaurants et loin de la plage. Il y a une voiturette qui nous conduit à la plage si on ne voulait pas marcher. Les buffets sont très bons. Très variés. Il y a deux restaurants à la carte, le mexicain au Yucatan (pas super) et le black cow (bien). Le restaurant italien (bien) propose un repas principal à la carte mais il y a un buffet en plus. Le Bambou (très bon) buffet asiatique. Malgré les sargasses à la plage, l’eau etait belle. Nous avons pu voir quelques poissons. Beau sable blanc. C’est magnifique! Il ne manque jamais de chaises. L’animation à la piscine du Yucatan était super. Aquagym très drôle! Les spectacles sont divertissants. Un peu tard pour les enfants. Belles petites glissades pour les enfants. Le personnel etait courtois et chaleureux.
