“Workers were BEST - FIRST CLASS. They were servicing us, always catering to us, helping us with anything at all, and cheering everytime they say my group! We had the best time with them and they are the reason for the 2 stars.Everything else was not as nice as expected. Food was absolutely terrible, and no outside restaurants deliver to RIU. If food is going to be poorly made, they should make agreements on outside food delivery and even potentially offer discounts to visitors.Part of the excursion was Bella Mare "mall." I say "mall" because it is not a mall, but a single store and an absolute tourist trap. I wrote a review about that place on its own and is not worth my time to write one on here too. All you should know is AVOID BELLA MARE. IT IS A SCAM STORE. DO NOT BUY A SINGLE THING THERE, as tempted as you may be. We saw poor reviews and thought "it cant be that bad." It was worse. They will scam you and you wont realize until its too late and your card has been scanned.The beach access is very nice, the pool (and pool bar) is very nice. The shops located in the resort could be much much better. I expected them to be more diverse and have better offerings than they do.Overall: Service and servers are very polite, nice, and will do anything to make you happy. Unlimited booze is nice, servers appreciate tips greatly - they will be incredibly happy and will make the experience 10x more fun.Cons: BELLA MARE is a scam and we were sent there by the hotel. - Food is terrible terrible and no places deliver to the resort. We had to take a taxi to eat at a restaurant. - Unlimited drinks, but all local drinks. Will have to go to a liquor store to get good tequila or beer. - All other excursions were a blast. We had a lot of fun on the other excursions.The fact that I got scammed at Bella Mare and the low quality food are the reason for 2 stars. I hate scams and scammers and I can't believe the hotel sent us straight to one.”
