La comida malisima, lo mismo todos los días. Los restaurantes son buffets, solo uno es a la carta y si no vas al horario de apertura para reservar te quedas sin comer. En uno de los buffets habían moscas en la comida. Las habitaciones antiguas, les faltaba mantenimiento y pintura. El aire acondicionado sonaba muy fuerte. En definitiva no volvería a este hotel. El entretenimiento fue lo único excelente.

Overall good. Attentive staff that take care of you. Fun events and hard not to have a good time. Food, buffets specifically, were meh. The restaurants were a bit better but nothing out of this world. Had a hard time with outlets in my room, specifically charging my phone. Power also went out like twice including the water. But I did have a good time overall.

The property was okay, the staff wasn’t very helpful though, they didn’t help with my bags or to escort me to my room which made it hard for me to find, which I had to ask the janitor who was the only worker in sight to help me find it. Then I get to my room and the electricity wasn’t working only to find out that one of the cards they gave me was what turned everything on, which I wasn’t told by the receptionist. But the food was good, the pool was nice. Don’t forget to go to the Riu Party they throw at night time really good music/drinks/pool/Fun!!

Upon checking into our assigned room, we discovered it was infested with bugs. This was entirely unacceptable for a property of RIU’s reputation. Given the circumstances, I immediately requested a transfer to another RIU property to salvage what was meant to be a special getaway for my wife, who is recovering from severe back surgery. Unfortunately, instead of receiving understanding and assistance, we encountered additional stress and financial burden.

Everything was excellent, but some pools had yellow zones (small details, but they could be improved). There was no public transportation (although the distances weren't long where we stayed, for other guests they were). As for food, restaurants are allowed to open at least until 10:00 PM during high season. Otherwise, the service was excellent. Could more Caribbean music be added to the shows about more Dominican culture? Everything was very American, and I think it lacks of the Caribbean touch.

The rooms were very run down with no maintenance. The showers were full of mold and the whole room smelt like mold and mildew. Rui use to have GREAT entertainment, now there is nothing. The images that are shown for excursions are nothing like what you get, over priced and undelivered!! I will never be back and I will STRONGLY discourage anyone from going there!!
