Conclusion and recommendation
The Riviera Maya resort, many other resorts have incorporated systems and facilities that make a family stay within the premises comfortable. Resorts should have facilities that cater to all family members whether senior or junior. This ensures customer comfort and willingness to revisit a resort. Moreover, the services should be diverse enough to accommodate people from different cultural backgrounds (Allen 2004, p. 79). However, it is necessary to include a shopping mall within these resorts from where customers can access services like gadget repairs and other related services.
