We chose the Riu Taino at the last minute as we had originally planned to go to Cancun. 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

The majority of people that were at this resort were Spanish speaking. I understand and speak a small amount of Spanish. I had no problem exchanging pleasantries but anything deeper than that and I was unable to understand. When I would say that I did not understand and that I needed to speak in English I felt that the staff... more

Riu Taino was a great resort. This was not our first choice Mexico was but with everything going on was changed it at the last minute. I traveled with my husband and our 16 month old daughter.

Room are ok, not brand new but pretty and with tropical furniture... It's not modern design, but who would want to travel to find samethings as home? Not... more

We spent eight days at the Riu Taino. I thought that eight days would be too long. The time however flew by and we were not ready to leave. We really enjoyed the beautiful grounds. I still can see the beautiful colors of the Carribean water and feel the white sand under my feet. We had no trouble getting our... more

I went to this place in december during the winter break. The ride was a little long from the airport but definitely worth it. I had no idea how great the place really was. The lobby is so open and airy, very tropical. When you go to check in, give the guy at the counter a little tip, he might... more

We spent 1 week in this hotel in March. When we arrived to the reception we were given a room at the crossroad near the parking. As we had been warned that Dominican hotels prefer to give bad rooms if possible, I looked at the map immediately, holding my wallet in my hand and asked for a better room. So... more
