Second guessing the Riu in Playa del Carmen.

Vanessa&Tony

We booked 5 nights at the Riu Tequila and 5 nights at Grand Melia on the hotel strip in Cancun.

I'm second guessing the Riu Tequila and I was thinking of switching to Riu Palace Riviera Maya, but I'm not sure if I like the two beds pushed together. But I really like the hotel's property. It's looks gorgeous! I also like that it's all inclusive, so I really just can't make up my mind.

If we decide else where, we were thinking Grand Mayan Riviera Maya in Playa del Carmen? The rooms and property look nice but it's not all inclusive.

Anymore advice that might help?

FI are looking at staying at Le Reve in Playa del Carmen.  It is a small boutique hotel with only 25 rooms.  It has excellent review on trip advisor.  It is not AI but does include breakfast.  I would check it out the prices are great!

I have only been to Iberostar in Riviera Maya and had a great time for a friedn's wedding.

Out of curiosity, what is making you second guess yourself about Riu Tequila?

I just don't like the rooms. The property is gorgeous, but I don't usually get to stay in a nice hotel very often. For the price, I think the linens should be updated and they push two beds together to make one. It looks a little weird, and are we to sleep on either sides on our honeymoon? I've slept on beds pushed together and you can still feel the crack down the middle.

My fiance and I went to the Riu Palace Riviera Maya last year and we LOVED it.  We had access to the other Riu hotels there and none of them compared to it.  I highly recommend it.  The resort is new and absolutely gorgeous.  Some of the other RIU resorts are much older and not nearly as nice.   

We also saw the Grand Mayan Riviera Maya while we were there and again it does not compare!

Good luck!
