Who am I....
Rusty Shaikh   

My name is Rusty Shaikh and I am 35 years old. I am currently a Real Estate agent in the world famous 1000
Islands. I live in a small town called Gananoque which is situated in the banks of the St. Lawrence River, Ontario, CANADA.  Our town has a population of about 5000 people. 
Why did I build this website? Well, I go on vacation at least once a year and can never find a whole lot about the resort that I'm interested in. I've been to many resorts in the past. In December 2002 We picked the RIU Merengue to be our home from the 8th to the 15th. I found myself surfing the net for hours trying to find any information other than what is provided at RIU'S website. Anyway, our stay was OUTSTANDING. The staff was enthusiastic and very friendly. They took the time to talk to you, and did their best to make you feel right at home. The 1st day we where there the fellow that restocked the drinks in the rooms, took my 2 boys for a 10 minute golf cart ride. 
We took part in most of the sporting events, and by the 3rd day, most of the Staff knew me by name. We dinned and all the restaurants, and sipped on there many fine cocktails. They keep all there rooms fully stocked with 4 X 40 oz bottles of liquor and lots of beer. My boys loved "Big Mama" (manager of the children's programs). At night we would relax at the indoor/outdoor theatre and watch the boy dance on the stage with Big Mama (this would happen every night before the nightly entertainment). Then of course watching "Francisco" prance about the pool screaming "Spanish lesssssson", was quite amusing.  I could go on & on. This was an Outstanding vacation. 
So I decided to build this website. It's not much right now, but over time it will evolve into quite a useful website. 
Please send me all your information and photos!..... And of course remember that this is an unofficial  RIU website. To visit the official RIU website,

Talk soon, and have a great vacation. 
Yours truly, Rusty Shaikh

THE WEBSITE
At this time I would like to thank all my viewers, and of course all the people that are sending me the photos and information. I must apologies because of the delay in posting them. In January of 2003 I expanded this website to contain all Caribbean / Mexico /Florida RIU Resorts. The response has been overwhelming. I do have some really great ideas for this website... in the future. But first things, first. There are many areas that need to be expanded. I do have the ability to make outstanding virtual tours and no cost, except of course the trip costs. I own my own virtual tour  software and digital camera.  On my next RIU vacation, I will take many virtual tours and post them for your enjoyment.

I have purchased the following  domain names

www.RiuBambu.com
www.RiuFloridaBeach.com
www.RiuLasMorlas.com
www.RiuMambo.com
www.RiuMelao.com
www.RiuNegril.com
www.RiuPalaceLasAmericas.com
www.RiuTaino.com
www.RiuTurquesa.com
www.RiuRiulette.com
www.RiuParadiseisland.com
www.RiuLupita.com

 
I will forward all of them to this website,  in the future. Once I class it up a bit.  I just bought them now because 
1) RIU didn't won't them (Or they would have bought them) 
2) so I know that they would be used for RIU benefit. ICANN rules & Regs.
3) If they are to be sold, they would have to be transfired back to Riu as they are Trade Marked Names and technically property of Riu Hotels and Resorts. 
  

SUMMATION
Well, as I said before.... I do have great plans for this website. But all takes time & Money. I can't tell you what they are, But do keep checking.

If you have any ideas for this website, Please let me know. 

My main rules are
1) NO ADVERTISING
 2) NO POP-UP WINDOWS

I encourage all viewers to read my disclaimer page.
