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.

Riu Tequila: a great holiday despite a few disappointments
Riu Tequila : de belles vacances malgré quelques déceptions

Upon arrival, we had to wait over an hour before boarding the shuttle. I've always wondered why travelers can't just wait inside the shuttle itself instead of in the heat. Once we arrived at the hotel, the service was quick and impeccable. Check-in was efficient, and our suitcases were even delivered directly to our room. Our room was small but comfortable until we discovered cockroaches near the refrigerator. Also, since I was traveling with my teenage son, we had to request a shower curtain because the bathroom is open-plan. While the toilet has a door, the shower enclosure is made of clear glass. Fortunately, our request was handled very quickly, which we greatly appreciated. As for the beach, it was unfortunately our biggest disappointment. It was practically unusable: the water was brown and full of sargassum seaweed. So, we spent most of our stay at the pool. However, the beach areas are quite small, and the best shaded spots were often occupied from dawn by vacationers who reserved their chairs by leaving a towel there as early as 5:00 a.m. Several activities were offered, but our main goal was to relax, so we didn't really participate. On the other hand, the food was excellent and was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our stay. In short, despite excellent service and very good food, the numerous drawbacks unfortunately had a significant impact on our experience. If I were asked today if I would recommend this hotel, my answer would be no. It's possible to have a nice vacation there, but in my experience, there are better options offering better value for money.

À notre arrivée, nous avons dû attendre plus d’une heure avant de monter dans la navette (shuttle). Je me suis toujours demandé pourquoi les voyageurs ne peuvent pas attendre directement à l’intérieur de la navette plutôt que sous la chaleur.

Une fois arrivés à l’hôtel, le service a été rapide et impeccable. L’enregistrement s’est déroulé efficacement et nos valises ont même été livrées directement à notre chambre.

Notre chambre était petite, mais confortable, jusqu’au moment où nous avons découvert des coquerelles près du réfrigérateur. De plus, comme je voyageais avec mon fils adolescent, nous avons dû demander l’installation d’un rideau, car la salle de bain est à aire ouverte. Bien que la toilette soit fermée par une porte, celle de la douche est en verre transparent. Heureusement, notre demande a été traitée très rapidement, ce que nous avons grandement apprécié.

En ce qui concerne la plage, ce fut malheureusement notre plus grande déception. Elle était pratiquement impraticable : l’eau était brune et envahie par les sargasses.

Nous avons donc passé la majeure partie de notre séjour à la piscine. Celles-ci sont toutefois assez petites et les meilleurs emplacements à l’ombre étaient souvent occupés dès l’aube par des vacanciers qui réservaient leurs chaises en y déposant une serviette dès 5 h du matin.

Pour les activités, il y en avait plusieurs offertes, mais notre objectif était surtout de nous reposer. Nous n’y avons donc pas vraiment participé.

En revanche, la nourriture était excellente et constitue sans aucun doute l’un des points forts de notre séjour.

En résumé, malgré un excellent service et une très bonne nourriture, les nombreux points négatifs ont malheureusement eu un impact important sur notre expérience. Si l’on me demandait aujourd’hui si je recommanderais cet hôtel, ma réponse serait non. Il est possible d’y passer de belles vacances, mais, selon mon expérience, il existe de meilleurs choix offrant un meilleur rapport qualité-prix.
