RIU Tequila, Mayan Riviera, SUNWING Vacations

Recently I had been on an all-inclusive to the RIU Tequila in Playa Del Carmen. Saying that it was a great experience is an understatement. It was an AMAZING experience! Not only did I have a great facilities there, but we also had access to the RIU Yucatan and their facilities!

The location of the resort is very good if you are an explorer like myself. We were within an hour range from a lot of major attractions such as Tulum and Xel Ha. It was a 30 minute walk on the beach to go into the markets of Playa Del Carmen and we took a cab back to the resort instead of walking and it was less than $10 USD.


The RIU Tequila isn't right on the beach but the Yucatan is (it's only a 5 minute walk) and we preferred it that way because our resort was more quiet. SUNWING has this great program here for that you can stay at one but play at both!

There are 3 specialty restaurants and 1 buffet. The specialty restaurants were Mexican, Asian, and a Steakhouse. We made reservations for the Steakhouse twice because it was that good!

The service was very good and the entertainment at night was also great. There were lots of lounges in the shade as I get sunburnt easily and even putting sunscreen on doesn't necessarily keep my pigment white!

On the Yucatan we had access to watersports such as kayaking. It's so beautiful to do it right in Playa Del Carmen and you can see all kinds of different resorts from the water's view. The water is crystal clear and very clean!
