canadian beaten in Mazatlna
Did it occur to anybody to look into the husband? so suspicious, they have been drinking until 2 am, Then they go to their room and 30 minute later she is find beaten, the first place to look is the husband, was he the one that beat her? where was he at the time of the incident? what about the survelliance videos? Riu hotel has a thight security, is an all inclusive hotel, nobody goes into the hotel wothout registering in the lobby, so the person that beat the canadian woman is either a guest or an staff member, more likely the drunk husband, do not blame this in Mexico
previous stay at Rui
I find this news not surprising. We stayed for one week at this resort. On the weekends, they open their doors to locals who bring their kids there since kids stay free. There were alot of rude, people and I saw the police there all the time. The staff were rude and to my disappointment, not a help at all.
This place is not a 5 star in my opinion, and again, anyone is welcome there, and they do not keep the locals out whereas in other 5 star resorts, they are not allowed in. This place is a criminals heaven......
