Desde el lobby fue con las maletas, el cuarto no estaba preparado, se llamo para una silla de rueda electrica y no la tenian se tuvo que llamar para que la llevaran. El bartender del Sport bar fue una persona grosera. El restaurant all inclusive el primer dia los meseros groseros. El personal de la piscina fueron muy agradable y dieron du milla maxima al igual que el personal que nos toco en los siguientes dias en el all inclusive y demas restaurant.

The RIU should invest in a total revamp of the property. Every light plate was loose or off, all drains don't, ceiling fan was a risky proposition, shower head fell off. 5th RIU staff in the Caribbean, by far the worst facility.
