Bed and Breakfast in Hispaniola

"Overall, my girlfriend & i had a really good experience at the Riu Republica. Food was pretty good from breakfast to dinner. Our drink of choice at the swim up was a caipirinha (rum,lime,mint, & sugar cane over ice). The resort is known for its party & live entertainment personality, which they owe us nothing for, BUT keep this in mind when choosing your room. While the party scene is smack in the middle of the resort where everything is located & very close to the beach, if you're looking for some sense of tranquility, you might want a room at the other end of the resort, away from everything pretty much. The jerk chicken station lived up to the hype in all of the reviews we read & the buffet staff were very friendly & helpful throughout our stay. The main swim up bar pool (closest to the buffet) is where the action is. Great music, good vibes & waiters continuously at your service while the staff interaction will keep you very entertained as well. I would certainly recommend this resort to anyone who is looking for a good, inexpensive, party themed introduction to the Dominican Republic like ourselves! Cheers!"

"Terrible, lots of noise, nobody, nobody saids good morning, the buffet is the worst service of all punta cana resorts. The employees are the worst. Low life employees. You order drinks yhey come 40 minutes later. Not a napkin on the table... And the host at the door, no smile, the recieving was unreal.. Bad training, no discipline. Very disorganized and almost all employees ignores you like you weren't there. A disaster."

"This property is new and for the value of location and all inclusive it is pretty much worth it but as someone who lives near NYC, has a home in DR 15 from this location, and has stayed all over the world they definitely fell short in a few areas that if tweaked could make this a home run. Entire staff is beyond helpful and kind from the belhops to Teresita and others at the front desk to Virgilio and other security and the bartenders and cleaning staff and so on. There is a problem I have that while all inclusive, Dominican Republic is a tipping country and not only should their be signs that say gratuity is appreciated because we seemed to be the only ones tipping, but the front desk NEVER has change to tip. That is something that should be available. We actually left the twice to do this. There should be bottled drink and small snack options to take in the room even if in paid vending machines. There is a store in front of the hotel and the ladies inside are dolls but snack options are very limited and overpriced. The schedule/menu situation as well as restaurants and a pool randomly being closed for 3 days we were there do not work. They also have many options and drink options you will never know because there is no menu at all. On weekends it is FLOODED with locals who treat the staff and place like absolute TRASH. They need to get Sat & Sun under control. Lastly menus in restaurants are confusing and inaccurate as to what they are serving. I still would return. "

"Buen servicio al cliente y los cuarto amplios y muy bien cuidados. La parte no tan buena es que desde de las 10PM ya no había nada de comer en el hotel excepto por servicio a la habitación."

"There were bugs in the hotel room"

"The food quality needs an upgrade. Would have loved some local dishes featured on menus around the resort. "

"Amazing hotel "

"Everything was great, just skip the sales pitch they try to give you when you first arrive"

"It’s a kool chill and relaxing resort"
