Let me start by saying I'm visiting one of my favorite places, Puerto Rico. I have been coming here for many years. My wife and I come for the weather, beach, food and our friends (old & new).

We stay in the same place each time. They have seven elevators servicing 20+ floors. They recently completed modernizing one of their units. I don't know the model but it is a Otis.

This morning I was riding the elevator down to the first floor. There were 4 adults and two children on the car with me. A gentleman and I were thelastto exit. As he was exiting the center parting doors started to shut, the elevator moved up (6-8")! I then heard the light curtain alarm and the doors re-opened, the car re-leveled and the gentleman turned toward me in shock.

I went straight to the front desk and asked the manager to place the elevator "out of service".

They informed me that Otis the and they are working on it! I can only hope someone there recognizes how dangerous this is...
