Several "Golden Awards" have gone to RIU
establishments in the Caribbean
Riu Palace Mexico, a 5-star
establishment belonging to the RIU hotel chain in Playa
del Carmen (Mexico), was voted "best 'all inclusive' hotel of all
destinations"
by the American tour operator Apple Vacations.
The tour operator has also given the establishment an extraordinary
award:
the 6-star Golden Award.
Apple prizes are awarded according to customer votes on return flights
to their own country after a stay abroad.
In 2002 Apple customers opted for RIU’s Caribbean establishments. As a
result,
the hotels Riu Yucatan
and
Riu
Playacar, on the Mexican Mayan Riviera, and the
Riu Tropical Bay in Negril,
(Jamaica), have earned themselves 5-star Golden
Awards.
4-star "Gold Awards" have gone to the Riu
Taíno in Punta Cana (Dominican
Republic) and the ClubHotel Riu
Tequila
in Mexico.
This year’s Apple prize-giving ceremony was held in the US city of
Chicago. The
results confirm the effective penetration of the RIU brand into the
American market, where the number of guests who come back for return
visits is growing continuously.
The RIU Hotels & Resorts (www.riu.com) chain began its process of
internationalisation in 1991in the Dominican Republic. It currently has
96 hotels in 10 countries and 13,000 employees.
