 Riu Yucatan or Tequila? 

Since we can't afford the Riu Palace, which property should we go to? We want to stay were the best beach is located.

That would be the Yucatan. The Tequila is not on the beach but is still a very nice resort.

Both are about equal, except the Yucatan has a beach-Tequila has better nightlife.

I would say to stay wherever you can get the best deal - we just stayed at the Tequila but used the Yucatan every day for the beach and pool - you can do everything at both resorts except for dinner so as long as you are okay with a short nice walk to the beach (maybe 5 minutes) just pick whichever one is cheapest.

Hi Mike. We are still booked, but not sure. I have a small office and one of the ladies who work for me had a son in the service that got killed Friday night. My father-in-law is not getting any better and is still in the hospital. On top of that, the state has scheduled my quadrennial manadatory training on the 27 and 28. (I trying to get out of the training.) Hopefully, everything will work out and we'll get to meet up with y'all.

Cardinal,

I think you'll find that you would get a very good debate on this one, as some are very passionate for the Yucatan and some are very pasionate for the Tequila. I don't see this as a bad thing. It's win,win for the person choosing because the bottom line is you can't go wrong with either. I just came back from the Tequila and thoughly enjoyed my experience there. Yucatanman turned me on to choosing one of the two resorts and I thank him for that. You say tomaaato, I say tomotto. You can't go wrong with either( or that could be EYEther,lol.
