This was my first time travelling to the D.R and read all the reviews.. I was a bit scared to say the least.. But the reviews must have been from some pretty sour people.. The resort was so clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.. we weren't even checked in yet and we were allowed to eat and drink... more

This Hotel does not have the quality of a 5 star! The rooms are oldie, the food not bad but the service on the restaurants has very bad. The most problem of Riu Taino, is that the other guest from others Riu´s are permantely using the instalations of Taino because, Taino is in the first line of the beach, so,... more

Hello everyone This is the first time I have ever stayed at a RIU hotel and I am very disappointed whit what I have encountered. Once we arrived in the reception a welcome drink was offered as we received our keys, after that our luggage was taken by the hotel staff to our rooms. Once we arrived to our rooms... more

Have stayed at many Riu's, love them, but this one was the worst. This resort was rated a 5 star, but it certainly wasn't a 5, more like a 3 1/2 at best. First room was old and moldy smelling, so we got moved to another section about 5 hrs. later. We went to the beach with our money etc.... more

Just great

Overall I did have a good holiday, and there was nothing particularly horrendous about the hotel, however in different circumstances and if I had have had more time and choice, I would have chosen somewhere else. One major issue for me was... more

My sister and I spent 5 days at the Riu Taino to celebrate her 30th birthday. We had both previously stayed at the Riu Cancun on separate vacations, so expectations may have been higher than they should have been. Overall I greatly enjoyed the hotel. The Caribbean street had plenty of souveniers no matter what you were searching for, and... more
