We stayed at the Riu Bachata from January 30th to February 6th, 2009. Our room was great and the view was amazing. The room and the grounds we really clean and the bar staff was great. We didn't get very good service in the dining room at dinner time and if you want to eat healthy, this is not the... more

My husband and I visited the Riu Bachata in Puerto Plata as part of an Apple Vacations deal. We paid less than $1500 for 6 nights and it was rated well by Apple so we figured it was worth a shot. Because I have used TripAdvisor reviews to prepare for my vacations in the past, I hope that the following... more

Well where do i start this review about the RIU Bachata. Me and my family flew from the UK looking for some winter sun and a good standard of hotel. i emailed the hotel for a disabled room and we were given room 813 close to all the main facilities.

But if you get the odd bad one out of a few then you know the people started their vacation not wanting to have a good time. Please, take pictures of a... more
