Riu Tequila reopens after an extensive renovation

The Riu Tequila is open once more, following an extensive renovation, which included refurbishment of the resort's 630 rooms.

Located in Playa del Carmen, the Riu Tequila is a 24-hour, all-inclusive hotel. The renovations include all common areas, gardens and rooms, and has expanded its gastronomic selection with two new restaurants and a barbecue station with grilled dishes.

Upgraded rooms

The décor is dominated by white with touches of red, and it maintains the warmth of wood in its furniture. The floors of all the rooms have been replaced with ceramic parquet, in keeping with the new style that RIU is introducing in its hotel offer. The bathrooms in all the rooms, with the same flooring, now provide shower stalls.

Exterior touches

The outdoor area of the Riu Tequila has gone from having two large organically shaped swimming pools and one for children to offering a total of five rectangular pools. One of them is just for kids and has slides, while another has a swim-up bar.

Fine dining

The Riu Tequila offers the new Italian restaurant, ‘Rinascita’, and a new steakhouse called ‘Black Cow’. Both are in addition to the existing ‘Rosa Roja’ main buffet, ‘Bamboo’, serving Asian cuisine, and the ‘Beach Club’ restaurant that at night turns in to a Mexican-themed restaurant. Plus, the hotel now offers the aforementioned barbecue station, which prepares grilled dishes at lunchtime.

With the complete renovation of the main building, the lobby bar, ‘La Veranda’, the cocktail lounge, ‘La Fiesta’, and ‘Sports Bar 24’ have been redone and renamed, as has ‘Coco’s Bar’, the swim-up bar in the garden area.

Just for kids

Next to the children’s pool, there is also a RiuLand club and a playground, and the new gym and the Riu Fit zone are also found in this area. These new amenities and the new free WiFi service now available throughout the hotel complement the entertainment offer of the animation team and of the ‘Pacha’ discotheque, also renovated.
