Property was clean, staff was attentive, and not overly crowded. Food left a lot to be desired in my opinion! The exceptions were for lunch the WOK was good, Dinner the steakhouse was decent overall as was the Italian restaurant. American restaurant food was cold and waitstaff wasn’t accommodating, speaking of food being cold that was the worst part about the buffet, everything was Luke warm at best. For the price the food is on par I’d say but don’t expect 5 star or even 4 star food imo.

Overall you are in a beautiful warm place and that is what matters. The suite was comfortable for my family of 4. Even though the resort is big we didn't seem to have too much trouble finding seats at the beach, pool, or dinner. The food overall is average. The food court by the beach was good. There is a smaller food court in a less busy location that we also frequented. Lots to do for kids-Pirate ship area, water slides for older kids (my kids went on one and it was scary and both complained of neck and head pain). Plenty to do onsite. We wouldn't go back but that is more about us and our preferences than the resort itself.

The beach was fabulous - the buffet was average but not great - the bar and drinks were wonderful, BUT the Breakfast teas in the morning were "Horrible" and the coffee was below average. How can a supposed 5 star resort have such terrible tea in the morning. No selection and what you offered was very low quality - truly a great disappointment - to the point we dreaded breakfast. Tea is an essential part of a morning breakfast - do some research and fix this problem or we may never return. Hot water, a quality tea bag and some milk or a lemon slice is not rocket science - show some class and fix this shameful 2 star service!!!!

Because our plane got delayed, we arrived less than 24 hrs from check in. We were told that our room was re sold and we have to find a different place (Riu was full). No help or options were given Our room was bought and paid a month in advance I ended up spending another 2000 USD so we wouldn't sleep on the street I text then RIU (the next day as was less than 24 hours from chek in with no response Basically they double dipped, sold my paid room and left us in a different country with no accommodation This is unethical, dishonest and a lack of the minimal sense of customer service Unfortunately i has been many times in RIU, but have seen the significant worsening in the lase 15-20 years

Great stay

It was a great stay overall. I will stay there again if I am back to Punta Cana. One thing the hotel could improve is booking. We booked a junior suite with two rooms connected inside the suite, but they gave us two separate rooms. They changed us on the next day, but they should not have done it.
