Hi all,

My partner and I are going on our honeymon in May and stopping at the Riu Tequila in Playa Del Carmen. I have more than just a slight aversion to insects and have been very silly and scared myself by googling it! I have read that there are wild tarantulas and that scorpions like to drop from your bedroom ceilings!

In the interest of not ruining the honeymoon for my partner! could people please let me know if it is really this bad, especially at and around the Riu Tequila.

Thanks a VERY frightened bride to be.

We were in Playa del Carmen in Sept. (Not at the Riu Tequila though)
I am scared :yikes silly of all creepy crawlies. There were a couple of cockroaches about and a couple of black and white flying beetles one day on the beach. That's all. I don't remember seeing any spiders at all - never mind tarantulas and certainly no scorpions.

Dont worry about them,

On my last trip to Playa del Carmen i saw 1 tarantula and i was looking really hard to try and find them and other interesting insects.
It was off the beaten path in the jungle and it couldnt get away fast enough.

As for scorpions dropping from the ceiling-nonsense

You will have no problems-trust me :)

Relax and enjoy. We stayed at the Tequila for 2 weeks, Summer 2007 and had a great time. There's no-one more of a baby than me when it comes to insects. We had no probs apart from being bitten by mosquitoes/sand flies each time we went near the beach in the evenings. We had no such probs in and around the Tequila. I was very worried about lizards and snakes before we went but to be honest although we did see a snake (went right under my sunlounger) and a few lizards (1 very large) I was so relaxed and they just took no notice of you.

Don't listen to the horror stories of scorpions and creepy crawlies in the room. The rooms are spotless and well cared for. Please don't worry anymore, I'm sure you'll have a ball. All the best for the wedding!

Hi, we stayed at the Tequila for 2 weeks in aug 08 and had no problems with spiders/scopions whatsoever but i did get biten to pieces by the mossies. :cry

I did hear of more animals being seen at the back of the hotel by the golf course so i emailed the hotel requesting a pool view room and i was given one no problem.

By the way my husband wasn't biten at all, so i suppose the mossies just like some more than others :cheers

Didn't have one bite at the Tequila, bu there were mossies around the beach area at night. Yes there are some unusual animals about but they take no notice of you, and just go about their business. We spent some time on the balcony watching them, they were beautiful. PS None came anywhere near the rooms. You'll have a fantastic time at the Tequila - it's a wonderful hotel.

We stayed at the Iberostar and I don't recall seeing anything in the way of creepy crawlies and I am a real arachnophobe (?spelling!!) I don't think we even got many mossie bites. It is a lovely place, you will have a fantastic time-enjoy :cheers
