I understand Riu Republica is a budget-friendly party hotel, but there are just some things I wish were better like the food. There are a few items on the menu that need revamping and worked on. The drinks and entertainment were great.

Nice Resort for the price
My wife and I had been to Riu Republica about six years ago, when it was still very new. It's still very nice; the grounds, the food, the new paint job and for the most part the room. The bathroom needs some TLC. Our toilet leaked all day and night, I had to finally wrap a plastic bag over the shower tap to prevent it from squirting water everywhere. Then it comes to the mouldy ceiling, no excuse for that. This room should have been shut down for two days and those things could have been dealt with. We were at the Riu for two weeks and placed several repair requests and nothing was done. The service was hit and miss, the ladies that cleaned our room, were always very nice and the Riu app worked great for ordering extra water or drinks. The bar tenders were OK, we found that tipping did not guarantied a smile or a nod. The pools were clean and refreshing, great job on that. The beach is beautiful and clean. This Riu is a "Party Resort "and it doesn't take too many drunk party-ers to wake you up at 2 or 3 AM. We found a quieter pool,bar and beach at the other side of the resort so we were able to get away from the Night Club music. At the end of the day we have no regrets about going back and we got good value for our money.

Recommend!!
The only complaint they do not have enough of people clean pool areas through out the day. Also they do not clean the tables and chair (bird mess) at the buffet enough to control the birds flying around while you are eating

Better consider other options
The place is very beautiful, the room is big and comfortable and most of the co workers are friendly The air conditioning system does not exhale a good smell and it doesn’t allow you to control the temperature inside the room, since is doesn’t accept you to turn up or down the temperature; then, late night you have to choose either dealing with low temperature if you keep it on, or hotness if you turn it down. Food is excellent and tasteful in the available self serving buffets. They have also à la carte restaurants: we went to Krystal - the best of them, in terms of food and co workers; La Bodega, the Spanish restaurant, which is very good too, and the only one we didn’t like was Luigi, the Italian restaurant (food is not good and the employees are more interested into talking loud among themselves instead of paying the smallest attention to their clients). Finally, but not less important, it’s needed to stress out that it is not a smoke free hotel, so you won’t be able to enjoy any of the exterior areas, including restaurants, pools and beach with out putting up with smoke of cigarettes, cigars and sometimes other things… if you have asthma or allergies, you really must consider choosing another place to stay.
