Pros: -Beach club was fantastic -Grounds well kept -Food was good -Wildlife was wonderful -Convenient location Cons: -Detail cleaning in the room could have been better. -some room maintenance, our door had been broken and one hinge not attached and not properly repaired for example - the pools were square and uninspiring though well used. There was a free-form pool at Yucatan which was nicer and available to Tequila guests. - the Rui app was poor- stopped using it during visit. Boards in lobby were better - difficult to tell where activities were being held - requests through the app did not get response - evening entertainment was hit and miss - for a resort which catered to so many families, a shaded playground would have been a real plus I have stayed at several 5 star resorts in the Mayan Riviera. Hands down, best beach, shaded areas and availability of beach chairs. Would I return? Definitely. Good value, beautiful setting, good food, nice staff, good value.

The staff is amazing and the restaurants are ok, but the buffet is bland and same day to day. Housekeeping and bar staff were great! The pool water is so hot no matter what pool. Been staying in RIUs for many years all over the world and this was absolutely disappointing. Very rude, rowdy and disrespectful guest. I felt bad for the staff. FYI if u ask for double beds, you get twins pushed together and Kings are at the end of the resort no elevator. Beach is also located at another Riu property as well. Only thing that saved this trip was the wonderful staff, but I will not be recommending or returning to this hotel.
