Maybe me and my boyfriend were soo excited that we didn't notice or find anything wrong but we LOVED it!! We are both 21 years old and it was my boyfriends first trip and it was my one of many, and it was by far the best. When we first got the airport many workers were there to help us... more

I just returned from the dominican republic and stayed at the riu bachata 4 days and 3 nights and I will not return. The hotel wasn't horrible but there are better hotels to chose from. The food was good, nothing spectacular but it was ok, the AC in the rooms was horrible and if not for the fan you would... more

This was my first time visiting Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. This resort was beautiful, rooms were very comfortable and cozy. Night life great and the food awesome and for the price u can't go wrong. I highly recommend it. more

Stayed at RIU Bachata 7/31 thru 8/7/09. Had two ocean view rooms, one for my husband and myself and one for our 17 year-old son.

After the long flight we arrived and greeted at the reception with a cocktail. The rooms were ample big enough there was 4 of us in our room and we had great views... more

We went to the Riu Bachata for a wedding and our Honeymoon. We read all the reviews, and thought we were headed into a 5 star Paradise. Boy, were we ever mistaken. I had never been to the D.R. and thought that it would be beautiful, however the beaches at the Riu Bachata were not all that great, they were... more

We have been here two years prior and really enjoyed ourselves. However this trip we did notice that the property is not being cared for as it used to be, we hear a new manager is in place and doesnt seem to care as much. This resort is a very comfortable place for families and although it isnt being cared... more

Hotel was great. Weather was sunny all week with a nice breeze. Beach was good, lots of lounge chairs to lie down on. The ocean water is rocky with sea urchins in parts. Pool was nice. Service at the bars were great, they never skimped on the drinks! Minibar was only stocked with 2 beers. If you leave a small... more
