When we got to our room it was spacious and clean. The staff was very friendly. The swim-up bars were on point and the pools were huge and the water slides were fun.
If you ’re looking for fun, this hotel is a right place. I like here everything: clean room, clean beach, delicious food and incredible activities. There is even a small library near OLA bar where you can take a book if you’d like. We had really great time in this hotel.
For such a large 1300 room resort the access to pool and beach chairs was good.
Room was clean and food was plenty but mostly buffet.
Wish there was more table service at the specialty restaurants.
The place is clean. The staff is wonderful and helpful. Love it.

If you want a very upbeat party resort this is it! Lots of pools and swim up bars! Jerk Chicken is AMAZING!
Positives- swim up bars (3), beach is beautiful and food options are good!
Negatives-it’s a party resort so it gets trashed, rooms are cute but not really nice, and service is only good if you tip.
Everything was great!
The only thing I was uncomfortable with was the last of inadequate charging outlets.

The overall resort has everything you could need close to the beach and the pools were very clean the entire week,… it just needs to be updated. The beds were terribly hard and made it hard to get a good night sleep.
Awesome experience. It was clean and awesome staff. I would love to have a non-smoking area for people who do not smoke. It was a struggle to avoid the smokers.
We had to switch rooms because the room that we had wasn’t the one we booked, and the room did not smell or felt clean. After we switched rooms it looked better and clean. The staff was amazing at Riu but the food was horrible it was the same meal served everyday. Overall I would rate my stay 6/10, the staff was amazing, but the food and rooms could’ve been better.
All the pools were very enjoyable and very clean. The staff was very friendly and lively. You can get damn near anything you wanted as long as you were nice(and even better if you tipped as little as 1 USD). Most of the excursions on the island can be found somewhere around the property where they’ll drive you and bring you back all included. The same goes for multiple parties which they have each day, including shows like magic shows singing karaoke you name it they do it and they even had this nice yoga/fitness routine that they were due like twice a day in the morning super nice overall 10 out of 10 will recommend

The rooms smelled like mildew and mold upon walking in to our rooms. Bathroom had a leak from the ceiling and shower pressure was very low water was barely coming out. The staff were very helpful. There was entertainment every day. Jerk chicken hut was the best.
My cousin and I stayed at this all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic for 6 days, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The resort itself was absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and well-kept grounds that made it feel like a tropical paradise from the moment we arrived.
The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always willing to help, which made our stay even more enjoyable. One of our favorite parts was the atmosphere—there were so many young people around our age visiting from all over the world, which made it really easy to meet others and added so much fun to the trip.
Since this was our first time staying at a resort, we didn’t know exactly what to expect, but it completely exceeded everything we imagined. Between the great energy, amazing service, and beautiful setting, this ended up being the best vacation we’ve ever had. We would absolutely come back again!
We didn’t need cleaning everyday, we requested every other day and got fresh towels everyday. Staff was friendly and even friendly once tipped. No airport shuttle available from Las Americas. We requested laundry three times during our stay but only received the sheet the day before we left which was frustrating because we left at 4AM so our clothes would never be ready in time. We ended up leaving with a suitcase full of dirty clothes.
The shuttles were easy to find. Within 4 days we switched rooms theee times. The first room had roaches that was all over the bathroom. Second room had bed bugs that ate us up. When we approached the management team they could. Or do anything but with our room. Victor was horrible and unapproachable. Anyelo tried to help, but don’t believe us until I showed him pictures of the beds. He told us it was mold, then sand spiders, I asked if he wanted to see my legs with bites. He stated, No after I showed him the beds. The fact that this was supposed to be a relaxing time and a birthday celebration. Our whole time spent was not what we expected. Who wants to spend two days moving rooms and not enjoying your stay.
