Riu was awesome to stay at. It had a lot of fun things to do including tons of pools a nice beach and parties. The only thing I’d say needs an improvement would be the food service. To be in DR and to have American style foods all the time was a bit of a disappointment but other than that I would do it again!
We like the beachfront access and all the cool activities like the RIU parties and the splash park. There’s lots of bad reviews about the food but we found them to be quite untrue as everything we had was good and did not make us sick. Obviously we stayed away from seafood

Everything was good considering the age of the property. Staff super friendly, food was ok and plenty of it everywhere! Amenities and shows every night! I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely recommend it ! Thanks !
Our experience was overall good except for the food could have been varied and the last dinner night there was a roach walking on the buffet around the food and many flies. The staff however was amazing!!!!!
Quite a large resort, our room was further back so quite a bit of walking but I actually think it made for good exercise when most of your time is spent lounging at the beach.
If you get a good deal this hotel its worth it. The pool, beach and bars are excellent. The rooms are dated and food is just ok. However if you are looking to spend a week at beautiful pools and the beach you will enjoy the hotel. Just know what you are getting and what you are giving up. My family with two kids 17 and 14 had a great time as they are not particular about food and don’t care about dated rooms.
All was good room was clean. Staff was friendly. Everything was fine. I liked that the beach entry was close to the walkway. Good for family vacation with children. Good value.
This is a lively, upbeat resort that’s perfect for anyone looking for a fun and energetic vacation. The atmosphere is vibrant from morning to night, with music, entertainment, and activities always going on. The beautiful beach and well-maintained pools create the perfect setting to relax during the day, while the great food and variety of dining options keep things exciting.
There’s never a dull moment here—whether it’s poolside games, water sports, or evening shows, there’s always something happening. The staff adds to the positive vibe with their friendly and enthusiastic service, making sure guests are having a great time. Overall, it’s an ideal destination if you want a mix of relaxation and nonstop fun.

The hotel itself is ok, needs some updating but overall it was a very nice stay . The staff was very nice and helpful. The food was also good but I think they’re should’ve been typical Dominican food options, people also go to learn about the culture and the options were all very basic. I only got one breakfast that they actually had Mangu and salchichón as an option which was nice. There were mosquitos , but that’s expected in a tropical place. Over all we had a great Time!!
Loved the beach and pool & music !!
Our room we requested to have cleaned more then once , never got done
Hubby did get sick mid week from the food!!
Probably wont be back 😕
The staff going out of their way to excel on service, cleanliness, friendliness and giving the best experience for their customers.
As in point, I mentioned to our waiter (SanPablo) at the continental buffet that we were experiencing our anniversary a few days later. On that date, we went for dinner and I gave our waiter SanPablo arranged for a mariachi band, a cake for dessert and our table decorated. It was a truly amazing experience; an anniversary we’ll never forget.

Overall our stay was good once we moved rooms due to daily complaint of the w.c not working! Pools great! Gardens very well looked after! The rooms are a little tired and could do with some work but kept clean! Buffet pretty good considering the amount of people! Entertainment is very poor!
The room was not what I expected. It gave more of a motel than hotel vibe. The food was average often was hard to get different options. Beach view and pools were nice as well as the over all staff.
