“After booking a last minute deal on apple vacations, we decided on this place pretty much by price only, It was the cheapest at the time we booked(10 days before) and i don't really know why. This place is freaking great. It's part the RIU complex in the DR that includes 4 other resorts all right next to each other. This one is the oldest I'm guessing but you can't tell; Everything is updated. This particular one is the "better tier" that allows kids. The Rooms, lobby, and bars and restaurants are all located in one big hotel style building as opposed to bungalows that you see at the other resorts even on property, we didn't mind this as you can get most places indoors, like when it rained one night, and the added height(we were on the second floor) made our view actually the ocean. We paid for a junior suite "superior" and our room had a great view and location for only charging like $20 more, I'd recommend. Our room was a little walk from an elevator, and we did take the stairs to the beach pool area everytime.This place is very mellow. Even when it's busy it doesn't feel like it, which is nice in my book. Never really struggled to get a chair at the pool or beach, didn't have issues with the "chair game" you see other places. Check in process was quick and easy, and when checking in the person made sure to tell us that we could go to the other resorts if we wanted and the water park. The food has all been pretty good, but nothing really to exciting. There are 5 speciality restaurants on this property and we had 3 of them opting to not to eat at the Japanese and Spain style restaurants. The other 3 were pretty good , Italian being our favorite. We did go next door and eat at the "Mexican" restaurant and it was good. We ate lunch most days at the steakhouse that's a lunch buffet, but they have a "chicken shack" with burgers and dogs that was nice too. The only thing that I can really ding this place for is the entertainment crew/nightly entertainment not the best but I could care about that really. Pool bar can get rowdy but it's fun. The Room Service Menu is not great, the selection is terrible. They do serve food at the "sports bar" 24/7 and we usually took food to our room after to many mojitos as opposed to ordering in. Booze selection was fine but I only saw Presidente beer. Buffet was nice with just enough changes to not get bored. Beach is wonderful along the whole RIU property. We went to the "Jungle Party" at the "RIU Party" which is a completely separate party area away from the resorts, it was pretty cool but nothing special. Another big gripe I have is the "coffee shop" more like coffee bar in the lobby, it doesn't open until like noon! So if you want coffee in the a.m. you have to go to the buffet. We also had to call twice about getting more water brought to our room. The cleaning staff was fantastic thought, not just the rooms this whole place is spotless. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would it be my first choice on property? Eh I'd probably go try the adults only one.”

“Beyond amazing hotel and vacation. Would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking for a vacation. The staff is always friendly and genuinely happy. Nobody is begging for tips. The facility is absolutely gorgeous and the food was out of the world! You had so many choices for every meal you cannot go hungry! None of us got sick, and there was always plenty of bottles water to go around. The alcohol and coffee on the premises was awesome too! This place was incredible!!! We had no issues with security or concerns for our valuables. The on site free kayaks and sailing (out to the shipwreck 0.5 miles off shore) was awesome. We did not do the water park but heard good things.”
