First of all, I want to say that I will never ever book another vacation through Expedia very unsatisfactory. They overcharged us. They charged us for something that we didn’t even ask for, like wheelchair service! What was that all about! If it wasn’t for the hotel we wouldn’t have gotten a king size bed in our bedroom like we requested. $1300 overcharged on our seats on the plane. Very bad review on EXPEDIA!!! On the RIU, it’s not one of their nicest properties like we were used to like a one in the Cancun Playa Del Carmen, but it was OK. I will not stay here again. If I come back to Cabo there’s other properties that are totally totally nicer and offer a little bit more thank you.
