    Vacation

    It was nice and clean food was good like these scooters and you offered excellent service. My day was too short, but I enjoyed it hopefully to get back soon.

    Not nice - won’t be coming back.

    This was a horrible experience. In the Uk this was rated as a 5 star, and I wish I read the reviews because it was closer to a 2 star. It was filthy - we requested our bed changed and they turned it over the reason I know was because I had cut my ankle so there was some blood on the sheet and it was still there the day after. There was grime, and then on our last day. Not 1 but 2 roaches in our room! So we couldn’t sleep! We called security who did come and remove them, but the thought of it was disgusting. Food - the food was not too bad but incredibly repetitive so if you are there for longer than 5 days it becomes horrible and tasteless. They clearly have favouritism towards Spanish customers as we were ignored on several occasions. Barely smiled at. The entertainment was not too bad but again very repetitive. Honestly I wouldn’t recommend coming here. I could write a lot more but I would be here all day.

    My experience at Riu Republica in DR

    My stay at Riu Republica was very good, mostly because of the Riu Parties and 2 amazing staff. The food was average, the drinks were too sweet taste like syrup, the room was awful need renovation, most of the servers at the bar isn't friendly. Rossy from Dining room service was impeccable, she does her job with passion. When I went in October Rossy served at breakfast area and lunch main buffet. The standard she offers compare to her teammates is a big difference, she needs to work for a Palace Riu and promoted to a Supervisor. Desty from front desk amazing, she made us very comfortable even though we had issues in the room, she really tried to fix it. Amazing worker... The parties were awesome, we experienced Pink, Jungle & White party. The only negative was the entertainers from Riu Republica asked us to pay 10usd to skip the bus line and go straight to the front. Afterwards we noticed alot of persons skipping line. I didn't like that it all inclusive why asking for money. Please fix this problem. The entertainers for the day program, majority of the time they don't do what is advertised on the app. Eg on crazy game time they were sitting around 4 of them on their phones doing nothing.

    really bad experience!

    During our three-day stay at Hotel Riu, we were disappointed by several things. The bathroom in our room had a unpleasant smell and did not meet our expectations. The service staff was rude and unresponsive, unless you tip them up front, which added to our frustration. Additionally, the food offered was not good, lacking variety and flavor. When we went to get towels for at the pool they were short of towels throughout the day. Overall, our stay did not live up to the standards we had hoped for, and we left feeling disappointing. We won’t be coming back and we wouldn’t recommend this hotel.
