I stayed here in March 2012 when it was under the Radisson Blu brand. It changed to RIU in early-2014. http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2014/3...ot_of_QuestionsAs I read reviews, the General manager, Jean-marc Jalbert , is still there and I remember how cool he was when it was the Radisson Blu hotel. I hope they still have special "managers receptions" at the front lobby bar with some good all-you-can-drink champagne. Here are photos from that trip with my then (now ex) girlfriend. You'll see some nice shots from inside the hotel. https://www.flickr.com/photos/scottsteg/sets/72157629652444861/Now that it's under an all-inclusive brand, most folks will want to stay on-site for meals but I highly encourage going off to Le Calypso for some great pizza and wine. Yes, seriously. Its a great little spot for some nice casual dining. If there's any criticism I can think of is that the drive up to Anse Marcel is tricky with that single road going up the mountain/hill then back down. Little cars can have some fun with that if you know what I mean.
