    Punta Cana Vacation

    Food and service were very good here. Typical RIU style property, access to the adjoining RIU properties was really nice. Would definitely go back.

    Definitely coming back

    We loved this resort. It was in a great location. It was beautiful. The beach was amazing. The staff was great, helpful and friendly. We do wish the bed was a little more comfortable but that won't change my rating.

    Amazing place to stay

    Hotel accommodations were amazing. Location, food, staff, would not have asked for more. The rooms smelled a little musty but that could be due to the humidity.

    Family visit

    Stayed for 10 nights, lovely hotel all staff were polite and never a problem getting served, everywhere was always very clean & tidy including our room, food was always very good with plenty of choice, nice you also have the à la carte options with no restrictions , you cannot pre book so had to go at 6pm on the day you wanted to book in they had 3 sitting times, we preferred the steak house, good options and the drinks were always flowing, pools were also clean & tidy with great service, only fault we had was going over the American spring break was a very large party there of 47 so sometimes certain areas like the swim up pool bar were extremely busy,
