The resort was nice and most of the staff was helpful. The food was mid, but it's what we expected. Pools were awesome and they tried their best to clean up the beach. Overall it was great and we would return
Majority of the staff were very polite and helpful. Daniel was very helpful with bringing and picking up our luggage. Ana Marie was very professional whenever we had question about any at the resort or in Punta Cana
Recently renovated. Nice and clean. Good pool selection with plenty of shaded areas for those of us who fear the sun. Food was very good and alcohol selection was also great just like the other Riu’s.
The property itself looks great, and the food did not disappoint. The main problem at the resort is really the inconsistency in the staff's behavior, some are really good, while others are extremely rude and terrible.
Very clean , good food and most of the employees were amazing except the manager at the front desk named Ramon who was rude and had a very bad attitude towards customers, the place is so big I would say you need at least one full week to enjoy everything
