Hotel Riu Palace Baja California - Adults Only - All Inclusive
Seagulls (birds) are a major issue. Something needs to be done. Also I was locked out of my room due to a bottle of wine that I charged to my room at dinner the night before, to be paid for at check out. However they deactivated my room key because the wine was an outstanding balance. Made no sense ...
