There were two remarkable people that I would give the 5 starts for the human being service their names are Zuleika and Jose both of they are the bartenders of the la plaza. However, I had an awful experience with the staff at the Riu Party Johan and Batista they treated me poorly and inexistente person, I stayed in front of they for about 15 minutes being ignored on March 22 and 26. I felt somehow discriminated by my sexuality and social status, I was only to get my drinks by the manager at the time. After that I lost my mood to stay in the environment due feeling uncomfortable and belitle. I believe just because I have not being tipped often. But I do not have any obligation to tip no one.

The resort activities are awesome and easy to enjoy. They need to change the filters for the air conditioner in the rooms more often the natural humidity creates a moldy smell when you turn on the AC. Also the outlets are dated.

The place and property overall is beautiful and relaxing. However, the food is terrible. This ultimately makes the stars of the place significantly decrease in my opinion. We found bugs crawling on the food that was uneatable anyways. The “restaurants” on the property are also falsely advertised. We were told they close at 10 and we got there one night at 8:30 and they turned us away. A second restaurant looked our group up and down and the staff was so incredibly rude and said “this place is not for you” mind you, we were all dressed appropriately with the women in dresses and men in dress pants and shirts. Finally, the next night we got to a different “restaurant” at 6pm only to find out that it was also buffet style food. The workers were not very friendly and we also overheard them speaking spanish about someone in our group calling them fat. For a place that is all inclusive I believe that having good food is the most important part. Everything else about this place is nice from the drinks, the parties, and the bars. If you don’t care about eating terrible food then I would suggest this place for the ambiance, otherwise find someplace else that has the ambiance and better food.

The RIU property appeared to be the most beautiful of all other local resorts. It was mostly kept clean. I noticed what appeared to be vomit circulating in one of the pools for 5 days. There was a lot of debris in the adult only pool with the bar. We reported that it shower head was improperly working but nothing was done to fix it. Other things not working in our room was the phone & a broken outlet in the bathroom. They fixed the outlet at least. House keeping did a great job of cleaning the room daily. There are several restaurants to code from. The best one was the steak house that you were required to stand in line for at least 30 minutes prior to it opening or you would not dine that day.
