Beautiful ocean and beach. Rooms were clean, cosy, comfortable and quiet. We especially liked the mini bar. However, we had read on line that guests were provided with bathrobes, and there were none. Staff at all levels were helpful, polite, but not in your face. They seemed to appear when you needed something. The buffet food and the service by... more

Stayed March 1-8,2009 We think this hotel should be red flagged for all Canadians. Rooms were disgustingly dirty.Very outdated air conditioning not working fridge not working, no water at all. Plaster falling in shower. Beds broken, sheets ripped and NEVER changed. Staff didn't speak English nor did they attempt to help you in any way. Food was okay. The best... more

When we entred our room the smell of cleaning solution was overwhelming to the point where it would burn your nostrils and throat. Air conditioner did not work, and the screen fell off when I opened the patio door. Our celing in the room's entrance was wet when my husband touched it a hugh patch of plaster fell down. The... more

My review is a bit long but it does cover alot. We stayed at the Taino Feb 21-28 with our 2 children (9 and 12 years old). We were kind of prepared for what the resort was like due to reading reviews beforehand. The resort itself is pretty. The lush vegetation was beautiful. You do need to walk to get... more

My husband and I stayed here for two weeks over Christmas with our teenage son. We've been to the Dominican about 18 times and we just love it. You can't beat their beaches. We generally stay at the 5star properties, but because we were coming for two weeks and the Taino was rated 4.5 and was significantly less expensive than... more

Background: My husband and I travel south once or twice a year, sometimes with our now teen children. We look for resorts that are good value, usually 4 star places. We enjoy every vacation, we are happy to be away and are not complainers! I try to do my research so we are not surprised, I find this website soooo... more

We have stayed at many resorts in Punta Cana and have never had any major problems. This resort was very nice. Yes, the rooms are a little dated but very clean! The beach area is fabulous and the food was as well. Cannot believe that people can complain about the food when there are so many options available. Both the... more

We were at the riu taino from feb 11-25 of this year. After reading some reviews I wasn't sure about having booked 2 weeks there, but once we arrived all my fears were put to rest. Check in was quick and easy. We had booked a super saver room and that is what we got. The rooms are small and... more

Let me start by saying "you get what you pay for". I'll try and keep this review short. We stayed at the RIU Taino February 13 to 20. This was our 2nd trip to Punta Cana and the reason we choose the Taino was the price. If you've never been anywhere and don't know how other resorts are, you'll probably... more

We have traveled extensively and were a bit disappointed with this hotel / service. It seems outdated. The first room we were given (at the very back of this hotel) already had some guest ( read: roaches) so they changed it to a slighlty better room, located steps from beach. Nevertheless, our well tipped maid, had the courage to go... more
