Sad view on the RIU group and their sustainability policy!

On 09/23/ 2016 we informed the RIU Group that despite the participation of RIU Hotels in Mexico in spay & neuter campaigns of CANDI INTERNATIONAL in 2013 not one of the half a dozen RIU Hotels in Punta Cana cooperates with the local animal welfare group RescátaMe . The only answer we got was the automatic reply of the RIU Hotel Palace Macao: "Dear Sir or Madam, We will be closed for renovations at the hotel from Sep 1st to Nov 12th 2016. Happy to return we will be answering your emails. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Best Regards, Management Palace Macao" That throws a sad light on the sincerity of RIU's sustainability policy and suggests that animal-loving tourists visiting Punta Cana are perhaps better off choosing one of the 22 Hotels listed in our Hotel guide "Animal-friendly Hotels in the Caribbean" under http://www.kreolischerhund.de/Hotels.en.php#PuntaCana
