We were actually transferred to Riu playacar, that is 2 min down the road. We were told it was an upgrade, at first we thought it was as we had access to the beach on our resort, but the room didn't seem as updated as Tequila rooms did. Most of the staff were nice. One thing I noticed right away, they don't have staff escort you to the room or take your luggage. We did have access to go back and forth to Riu tequila but only between the hours of 11am-3pm and on the white party night. The food, it was ok. I have a sea food allergies so I have to be careful whit what I eat. The signs over the food would have pictures like a fish, chicken or cow but come to find out that if a station has anything that is fried it's all fried in the same oil. So cross contamination all over the place. I couldn't even have mozzarella sticks because they fried a shrimp empanada in the same oil. So there was a lot of food that I couldn't eat. Very disappointed. The pools and beach were very beautiful. The don't have any top shelf liquor. And they mix the different tequilas.

Our "villa" was clean and spacious enough with a decent view over the property. In fqct , the only issue would be with other tourists - the ones who spoil it for everyone else coming back loud and drunk, arguing with whomever they're with. Food was ok, the worst experience was at the "Bamboo" restaurant where I tried the Paneer Masala dish, an Indian food of cheese cubes in a spicy sauce. However, this turned out to be tofu instead. I comlained to the waiter who said he would talk to the chef. I didn't hear back. Who knows, maybe the chef had no idea what Paneer Masala was... The beach is about a seven minute walk away, you can use the facilities of the hotel there, the pool and the restaurant - but that does not extend to giving you a towel! Remember to take your own from the Tequila. Beach is good, disapponting to get so many hawkers coming by to sell trinkets to you. I counted 9 in the first hour we were there one day Lots of Capybaras and Coatis wander around the property, they're fun to watch.

Loved the pools. Plenty of room and chairs around the pools. It was never hard to find a spot. Staff was friendly and helpful. The entertainment was great I just would have liked to see more of it offered. I didn’t like that you had to pay to play billiards in the sports bar….I think that should be free….all inclusive.

So we arrived to our hotel rather late in the evening and upon arrival they said they had to move us across the street to stay at a different Riu. They sent us to Riu Playacar. The hotel was good however we would have rather stayed at tequila as it was a family reunion . I would suggest going to any of the riu hotels in the area as they were all nice and a very short walk between all of them if you want to explore.
