  • 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.

    Hello, I’m planning on going to one of the Riu resorts in playa del carmen in the begging of January any advice when is the best time to book it, and is Yucatan worth it ? Thank you

    • @WherewegoingNext
      @WherewegoingNext  Před 2 lety +1

      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

    • @WherewegoingNext
      @WherewegoingNext  Před 2 lety

      Yes, it’s a short 5-10 minute walk! And yes, it’s allowed.

  • @lilhese
    @lilhese Před 2 lety +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  Před 2 lety

      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.

  • @honeyt883
    @honeyt883 Před rokem +1

    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  Před rokem +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 👍🏻

  • @NataliaFloress

    • @WherewegoingNext
      @WherewegoingNext  Před rokem

      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 👍🏻

    • @WherewegoingNext
      @WherewegoingNext  Před 2 lety

      Oh no, you’re gonna make me choose! Okay, well, I really like yucatans pool, and the nature on the resort. The thing Playacar has going for them is the updated rooms. They look a little nicer. But I’d probably go for yucatan ! 😆

      Here is a link to our room tour at the Yucatan czcams.com/video/Ezdwkw2vWxI/video.html
      There were no bottles in the room when we filmed this video, but the other RIU palaces and one of the other RIU hotels had them back - so we think they are slowly bringing them back…

      @WherewegoingNext  Před 2 lety +1

      They’re both very similar but Playacar has slightly nicer rooms in our opinion 👍🏻

      The Tequilla has overall better reviews - and you can visit the other RIUs (not the palaces) so you can get an idea if both 👍🏻

    • @WherewegoingNext
      @WherewegoingNext  Před 4 měsíci

      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 👍🏻
