There plates and glasses left on top of garbage cans for hours or overnight. No servers or cooks wore gloves. The food was sub par. The front desk man told me to get a room close to the beach I needed to tip him in cash. The lounge chairs on beach were either broken or dirty. Floors and lobby were dirty. Disappointed in the “entertainment at night” Too many people smoking on beach. There should be a smoking section so non smokers don’t have to be surrounded by smoke. Empty bottles and dishes still on beach from the night before.

For the price we paid, this was the worst RIU resort we have ever stayed at. The elevators smelled like sewage, the food was mediocre at best - everything was cold (except on NY Eve), lobby washrooms had buckets to catch the leaking water from the roof, pool tiles were falling off the pool walls. Very disappointing property for RIU.

The accommodations were absolutely horrible. We had to change rooms three times and each time it seemed to get worse. Night one, our room was dirty and we weren't given the view we asked for. We were moved to a second room that was a little better, but only had two small double beds. Only one elevator out of four worked in our building and none of the ice machines worked. When we were switched to our third room, it was an "upgrade" however the water was cold in the shower, there was water leaking from mini fridge, one of patio chairs was broken and there were no pillows. I was told there were no pillows on the entire resort. The next day I asked for pillows three times, never received any. The restaurants were not that good. When we arrived to the resort we were told that there was only one restaurant that needed a reservation (The Steakhouse). On New Year's Eve, we went to go to the Italian Restaurant we were told we needed a reservation and there were none available. The lack of communication ruined our NYE celebration. Overall, this resort was extremely disappointing. I will say the staff did their best to try and fix issues that occurred, but there was only so much they could do.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. Resort is huge and has a lot to offer as far as bars, pools, beach area, restaurants & shows every night which is nice. The food was mediocre. The jerk chicken was a hit the 1st time but when i tried it the 2nd time i feel like it could have been cooked a bit more and never went back, but if you get a good batch is is really tasty!! The resort is huge!! When walking around in the evening we saw a lot of the pool areas had not been cleaned up from the trash left during the day. It also smelled like sewage quite a few times. There were also a lot of bugs. We had to buy Off on our 1st night and thank god we did cause as the days went buy we could see the mosquito bites on everyones bodies at the pool. The 24hr sports bar was the only place to eat after 11pm and it had the same thing every night. Burgers, hot dogs & nachos with cold ass cheese because it was never warm. We went for Christmas week and was told we only had to make reservations for the steakhouse restaurant but did not receive full instructions on where to make them so we had to walk around to find out. We tried to eat the other restaurants on Christmas eve, we were told we needed reservations. They only announced it on a paper that was posted at the menu stand in front of the restaurant. We were not made aware of this and had no clue so were stuck eating at the buffet restaurant again which we were trying to avoid. The nightclub was fun once you got used to the musky smell.

I arrived to the resort a day late because I missed my original flight. My room was not ready even though they sent me to it upon check in. There was no soap in the dispenser either. Impossible to eat anywhere other than the buffet even though the front desk was adamant that a reservation is only needed for the steak house.

The people in the Dominican were great! Staff was very nice but the food and alcohol were not very good. Had. Few dirty plates when going through the Buffett. Only one restaurant to actually order at, all other restaurants were buffet. Rooms were not very nice, we have no view off the balcony… just one big tree. Beach was very nice and no seaweed. Pool/beach party’s were okay. Had a lot of fun playing volleyball expect when multiple workers wanted to play instead of letting guests play and made them wait to play. Probably wouldn’t stay at this RUI again. But will visit the Dominican again!
