This was my first time in Punta Cana I’ve been to other cities in DR like puerto plata, Santiago, Santo Domingo, Las Terrenas and honestly Punta Cana was just too touristy for my liking. The grounds were nice it was on the beach they had a lot of pools but they lacked cleanliness. Which wasn’t issues on the resorts part but the guest. There were always chunks of lime in the pool by the pool bar I felt like there weren’t enough seats at the beach and sometimes the pillows and towels smelled like sweat. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my friends or family because I know there are better places to stay on the island where you can actually experience DR through the locals and not work the tourist!

Rooms need upgrades I asked for a room closer to the main pools but didn’t get it Very few people spoke English so very little communication and couldn’t get direct info about activities and parties. Hard to get directions Only one restaurant was open for breakfast so not much variety Dinner started too late so long time between lunch and dinner. Needs more activities at poolside to keep guest entertained. Was quite boring at times Too many sales people at the beach, was not relaxing at all when being disturbed to buy things. I requested birthday decorations in ny room and it was never put up. However when I told front desk, they did try to make it up with a gift. That was nice. Front gate refused to let my driver in to pick me up. I had to speak to 3 different staff members to get the gate open which almost made me late for my flight. Over, I have no need or desire to come back. This was my second time at a riu resort, but it confirmed I don’t like it.

I had stated at RIU in Panama City Panama, and that was beautiful well maintained a very impressive from the moment I stepped in that hotel this hotel was beautiful from the outside, but not at the same standards as the RU in Panama this resort had broken tiles in my shower area, rusty light fixtures. The door won’t open or closed properly. The air conditioner was constantly going. It did not turn on and off even if you adjusted the temperature. they had switched me from one room to the other because of the broken tile in the bathroom, even though it was on the wall was disappointing walking through the resort I noticed all the light fixtures on the wall or hanging in that properly, put on just did not feel like I was being pampered like I would’ve thought going to an RIU.

The room was ok. Needs to be updated but it was good enough for sleeping and relaxing. The AC only worked one day of the 4 I stayed. I didn’t make a scene about it because it was great weather but if this was the summer it would have been a terrible experience. The food was really good 4 out 5 stars. The hotel cleanliness was really good and had lots amenities and fun things to do. The staff was friendly most of the time. But your front desk is a disaster. It took me an hour to check in and then on top of that the second person in the room came the next day and security would not let them in. It took over an hour for them to get access to the hotel even thou they were on the room that was already paid for. Need to fixed your entire check in process and efficiency. You may also want to have staff do their job and not just walk around when you have a long wait for check in’s. Very disappointed with that entire process.
