The Staff is very selective
The staff is very selective to provide a good service to you. If you don't look American (Caucasian), do not expect a good service, even though you are American! Wors thing! I mentioned something to this lady Lupita! at the front desk when I was doing the check out, and she just say: Oh, I didn't know that. That was it!

Do NOT stay in this hotel and do NOT book through Expedia. The hotel room and facilities are not bad, but the cancellation experience is horrible! I made cancellation for two people out of a 10 ppl group in time (within Expedia required date). However, after 15 days, after our trip and after spending hours and hours with 10 different Expedia agents on the line, I am still not getting my refund.

First time at this property, 5th time in Mexico and 2nd time at a Riu Resort (Ocho Rios). The property was beautiful, well laid out and maintained. It was spotless! Check-in was easy and our rooms were ready a couple hours early. The rooms were fresh, clean, no smells and the air conditioning worked perfectly. There is a tub in the middle of the room; weird but it made for a good clothes hanger! The beach and pool were perfect. Chair hogs around the pool but plenty of loungers on the beach. Restaurants were good and did not require reservations. The buffet was good to great. Italian restaurant was OK. The steakhouse/lunch restaurant was very good. The bar grill Pepe food was poor. Drinks from the bar were great, the coffee bar in the lobby was amazing. There is a convenience store under the lobby in the parking lot. You can golf at Hard Rock across the street for a discount. BRING LOTS OF BALLS! Great hotel and Riu overall is consistent in quality.

One thing that I didn’t like was the smell in the closet. My clothes smelled terrible. If they open the window a little it would be good to change the air in the room and use anything to take the smell of the moist in the room.
