  • In this video, we take you on a RIU Tequila full tour. What we liked about his RIU is the quiet pool Ibiza, and the "Chill out" beach area near the lobby. We're almost certain they have parties there at night, though we didn't see any during our time.

    • @WherewegoingNext

      If you can budget for RIU palace riviera Maya, that’s the best one. Yucatan is good too, it’s right on the beach. A bit more updated would be RIU Playacar. Best parties at tequila. Depends what you’re looking for

    Hi. Nice video. Overall did u prefer tequila or yucatan? Which one was more quieter and better pools. If u book yucantan can u use tequila pools/restaurants. Vice versa. ? Thanks

    • @WherewegoingNext
      @WherewegoingNext  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you’re looking for a quieter resort with nice pools, Yucatan is better - but overall, Tequila has a better overall guest rating🤷🏼‍♀️ they do have the RIU party scene at Tequila, so that can get quite noisy though. Yes, if you stay at one of the non- palace resorts, you can visit and eat/drink at the other non-palace resorts… but not for dinner - dinner has to be at your home resort 👍🏻

  • @smoot263
    @smoot263 ปีที่แล้ว

    You said the identical thing about the other beach and the sea weed. Was it exactly true for both trips where it went away at the end of your trip?

    • @WherewegoingNext
      @WherewegoingNext  ปีที่แล้ว

      Not sure which trip you are referring to? Was it another RIU hotel? If so, we filmed all of the RIUs in the area on the same trip, so that’s why we put that description in for all of them 👍🏻

  • @lilhese
    @lilhese 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey random question here... When booking one of the Riu hotels, are you allowed to use the facilities of the other hotels? So book Tequila and then being allowed to use the pools/restaurants/spa of the other Riu's that are next to each other?

    • @WherewegoingNext
      @WherewegoingNext  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. At Tequila, you can access Playacar and Yucatan pools, bars, and lunch. Dinner need be at the home resort. You aren’t able to access either Palace while staying at Tequila.

      Yes, the Palace Riviera Maya is recently renovated, whereas RIU Palace Mexico is really showing its wear and tear - especially in the rooms.

      Sorry, we can’t weigh in too much since we haven’t stayed at either 🤔 what we will say is that Tequila seems to get better reviews than Yucatan.. if you’re a pool person, Tequila might be the one for you - plus you can visit Yucatan as well 👍🏻
