RIU Resorts (PDC)

Hi,

I was hoping for some clarifications.

If a guest is staying at the RIU Tequila, does he/she have full access to the other RIU facilities (ie: Playacar & Yucatan)?

What is this separate dinner/restaurant business I keep hearing? Do you need to have dinner at your own hotel? Or does it pertain to only the "reservation only" restaurants?

HELP !

Thanx in advance

Buttercup, you have pretty much hit the nail on the head. Access to all the other RIU Hotels with the exception of the RIU Palace and yes, they ask that you return to your Facility of stay for the evening meal.

My Family stayed at the Playacar almost 3 years ago and then at the Yucatan Mar 05. We preferred the smaller feel of the Playacar. We intend to return in Mar/Apr of '07 and haven't decided if we are going back to a RIU or if we will "branch out"

Enjoy your stay

Brent

If you haven't been to the Tequila before you will love it...you have to eat dinner at your own resort except for the special reservation dinners....we had the sea food at the ocean front restaurant at the Yucatan.....the Palace is just a bit to stuffy for us....people from the Palace come over to the Tequila at night because of all the fun we were having.....but if you want to visit the Palace, you will only get a short time to visit....the Palace is rather hard nosed about that.

If you stay at one of the Riu Palaces you can go to all the Riu hotels in your area. If you stay at one of the hotels other than the Palaces you can go to all except the Palaces. In regards to meals you can have breakfast and lunch at the hotels that are available to you however you must have dinner at the hotel where you are staying. Remember the Tequila is not on the beach and you will actually be using the beach of the Yucatan when you walk down. If its to crowded the Playacar is three properties to your left if your looking at the ocean. You will actually be walking past one of the Places to get there if your walking on the beach. In addition the Tequila has the main disco and the Yucatan has a smaller version. No others have the disco's.
