Renovated RIU Tequila Reopens Nov 28



After $15 million dollars US and 3 months of renovations, the RIU Tequila is about to reopen ready for the winter season. RIU resorts are well known with Canadians for their consistently great service, clean and well run properties.

The RIU Tequlia is one of RIU's Club properties that is set next to an 18 hole golf course and near their sister resorts of RIU Lupita, RIU Yucatan and RIU Playacar.

Changes to the resort include the addition of flat screen TVs in the Junior Suites, irons and ironing boards in all rooms, the Bamboo a la carte restaurant with Asian inspired food, and refurbished public spaces.

CARL'S TIP: Note that this All Inclusive property is not right on the beach but has a short shuttle or walk to the beach. If you are on a budget, it is great property to choose as we usually get better pricing with it being just off the beach. The bonus is that you can use the facilities of RIU Yucatan and the RIU Playacar.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Limited - Changing the Cruise Industry

As many of you may have already seen in the news section of my travel site (Click Here), I recently was fortunate enough to have been invited on board the brand new Celebrity Solstice cruise ship which in my mind, is the most beautiful ship at sea – modern and contemporary with a host of new and unique features such as the Lawn Club, glass blowing demonstrations and an incredible Cirque de Soleil type show taking ship entertainment to new levels. The ship definitely wowed and impressed me on every level and I believe is going to be taking Celebrity Cruises to a new level.

Celebrity Cruises is owned and operated by Royal Caribbean Cruises Limited who are also the parent company of Royal Caribbean International, the company responsible for creating the new Oasis of the Seas which will be the world’s largest ship at sea and the most incredible feat of ship building ever.

For cruise lovers, Royal Caribbean Cruises Limited offers something for everyone and continues to be the leader in bringing new cruise ship designs, technology and features to their ships. Celebrity for more upscale higher end ships with a modern, designer style, outstanding food and service that provides attention to every last details. Royal Caribbean for years has been delivering the ‘wow’ with innovative features such as rock climbing walls, skating rinks and now the new Oasis of the Seas is going to have incredible features such as zip lining, an aqua theatre, a rising bar, park with trees and plants and so much more.

Both new ships for the lines are just the first in a series, proving once again, Royal Carribbean Cruises Limited is leading the way in changing the history of the cruise industry.
