This message is for all who are on their way to the Riu Palace especially Karen Stanek. The palace is beautiful. We did have some difficulty getting the ocean view room. We actually ended up with a view of the rooftops of the stores on Carribean street. We begged and were finally moved to a gorgeous ocean view today. The beach is great. The water isn't as blue as Cancun however. The service is ok. The people here are absolutely beautiful. We are making use of the Spanish phrasebook. Don't forget to pack it. Also remember to pack a pen for filling out forms in customs. We forgot that and had some trouble. We saw a show that was decent last night. It did rain here this morning but it cleared by the time we went to the beach. There is a nice internet cafe here. 7.00US for 20 minutes. We go on the jeep safari tomorrow. The food is different but ok. Some things aren't identifiable but that makes it fun. Overall, we are having a good trip. Just don't let them put you on that bottom floor. The rooms aren't as great. We have vaulted ceilings on the top floor and the rooms seem brighter. I was bitten by mosquitos last night so pack the spray.
