I actually expected a little better for what I've heard about RIU resorts

by Lori Z

I'll start out by saying this resort was a little too large for my personal preference. I like smaller resorts that you can get to know the entertainers & guests better. There were too many people to make a real connection with anyone. This is the first time this has happened since I started travelling.

Check in was quick & easy. Attentive staff.

Food was par for the course for Dominican. Nothing special.
In saying that, Lazaro & Doris in the main buffet always treated us well, as we were a group of 9. They always made sure they had a table for all of us! Thanks to you two!!

The beach is awesome. Clean water & no seaweed on the beach. Lots of chairs to choose from.

I was extremely disappointed in the lack of intervention from the management in keeping children out of the swim up bar pool. A bar is no place for children. Not only did they splash & carry on, they were jumping onto the tables! No one said anything.
Not good. I won't go back to this resort for this reason alone.

Great resort........one exception

by Wayne C

We are currently at this resort and see it has many positives...great beach with lots of lounge chairs, clean warm pools, fun activites throughout the day, tasty food: however a drawback arrived with the weekend. Locals come in in groups of 8-10 minimum and the noise level [screaming and hollering] becomes unacceptable. Long lineups form in the buffet and it becomes really difficult to enjoy yourself. I feel we did not fly 4 hours, go through the airport hassle etc. to come for this. Also, twice/week there are adults only pool parties which means no evening show. If you are not into drunken pool parties, you are left with no entertainment at all. Once/week I could see but twice is a bit much in a 7-night stay! Overall, a lovely resort: these tow negatives could be easily remedied.
