I had such a great time at Riu Republica! The front desk staff was very accommodating, though check-in took a while (15-20 minutes of waiting). We only had a slight mishap when first entering the room, since out key initially didn’t work. Turns out, that was a common issue since other guests had problems with their keys and entering their rooms. Also, not all staff members understood English but that’s okay since you are in a foreign country where spanish is their main language. Their restaurants were plenty and my favorite one was the steak house for dinner! Breakfast and lunch at the main buffet was an abundance. My least favorite was their Spanish restaurant since they really didn’t have much to offer at their buffet. Snacks at the sports bar was 24hrs and I loved their nachos and cheese! Drinks were very nice and very tropical! My favorites for the entire stay was their Banana Mama, Piña Coladas, Copabana, and Tropical Pick Me Up! Of course, you have to do Mamajuana shots! It’s a must if you’re in Dominican Republic! The pools were very nice and the water slides were open during my stay, so that was a plus! I made good connections with some of their staff, such as Jairoh, Brianna, Elias and Onelio! They were such amazing individuals who helped me and my family and if you visit this place and bump into any of them, just know, you’re in good hands! Overall, my stay at this resort wasn’t the best, but the good hospitality of their staff and the tropical ambiance of the resor
