Great trip, mind you there was 40 of us, maybe the other people on the resort would have had a different opion seeing as we would have been the noisy ones! Pools where great, rooms where nice, didn't really stock the fridges too well with pop for us to take advantage of the bar in room which was awesome. Good... more

Been to Riu Taino in July 2009 and here's what I think: I bought my trip in a promotion (paid arround 620€/person) and stayed in the riu taino superior room-7nights I would't go back to this hotel because it is not clean, drinks are served in plastic glasses and is old. The room was average but not worth 5star, I... more

We stayed at the Riu Taino from Feb.14-21/10 on our first trip to the Caribbean; our friend was getting married and they chose the resort. Prior to visiting we checked Riu's website and found they rated it 5 stars so we were hopeful; in reality if is 3 stars at best and probably more deserving of 2.5. Don't get me... more

We had stayed at the RIU Taino two years ago, thus coming back and we were not disappointed, in fact it was great two years ago, and it was definitely the same if not better, the food was excellent, great selection and variety each day, breakfasts and dinners to die for and each day a nice selection to choose from.... more

*** I WISH I KNEW THIS BEFORE WE LEFT! *** We are newlyweds (of 3 days) and i was 5 months pregnant. This was our experience: Flat pillows (we had to get more x6), horrid beds (they put a double & a singe to make a king-but the single was 5 inches to low so not at all the same... more

Okay, first off I would like to say that I am a university student that went to the Riu Taino for my reading week with a group of about 100 other students from my school. We were not expecting luxury, as the reason we went there was for sun, beach and having fun with a bunch of our friends. I... more

We've been going to Mexico for a week of midwinter sun for about 10 years now- a couple of years we've gone twice. We went to Puerto Vallarta last November, and had a chance to get away for a week in February and took it. We decided to do something different and try Punta Cana. On a positive note- the... more

My husband and I stayed at the Riu Taino in January of 2009. We liked it very much ! Staff was very friendly and food was good, although I will admit we often ate hot dogs and pizza for lunch... It is true the lunch buffet is somewhat repetitive. Kudos for the juice bar for breakfast, amazing. The beach is... more

I have stayed at the Riu Taino 3 times and will be going again in May this year. Although the resort is aging, I have never found it to be as bad as people make it out to be. The front desk staff are always pleasant to me and my friend and gave us anything we asked for promptly (eg.... more
