Hi there,
I just got back yesterday.
There are a lot of changes overthere.
There is a new manager now, Najib is still in  and Kathy is moved to Puerto Plata to another hotel. The manager now is a Dominican.
The following animationteam is there now:
chef, Francis "Salami"
2nd chef, Jhonny Bravo
Mandela
Maximo
Eddy Murphy
Kenia
Sonia
They are renovating (painting) the rooms of the hotel.

Welcome home!

Hi, Kim!
I'm sure your trip was wonderful! I wish I were back down there, but that won't happen until next April or May.
I hope the changes you mention are good ones! Is Castillo still working there? How about Alexander "the Great"? Did you go to Taino to see Jose Miguel at all? Has anyone heard how Wendy (from the restaurant) is doing since she left?
How is the service and food at the hotel, now that it is under new management? Did you see a change in that? I will look forward to your comments.
Regards,
Melody

Yes Castillo is still there!
And Alexander is back in Naiboa working.
He was so happy to see my oldest daughter again, she is 6.
He bought her a neckless and earrings! So sweet.
I went a few times to Taino and lookend for Jose Miguel, but I didn`t find him there.....
And about Wendy, I don`t know.
I know she has 3 beautlifull daughters, but I didn`t hear anything anymore about her.
The service of the hotel is still the same.
We became again a suite for free!
The Manager of the hotel is Santana now. Maybe you know him.
I already knew him, he is a tal bold Dominican men, and he has studied in  . I think he was always the chef of all the animtion of the whole resort. Something like that, because Francis introduced me to him last year.
If you will be there in may, I will be there also then. But first I will fly again in december or january!
If you have more questions, let me know!
greetz kim

Yes they do!
But it changed a bit, because the Riu melao is gone.
Riu Melao and Riu Taino are one now.
So there is now Riu naiboa stand anymore.
Only a Riu Naiboa/Riu Taino stand and a Riu Palace Macao/Riu Bambu stand.

No, I did not see a stand of Riu Palace Punta Cana.
Also I didn`t see the animationstaf of that hotel in the street.
The same for Riu Melao, although they still have a animationteam.
