Nice hotel, lovely staff. Yes, it's a little noisy after 21, but you can chat with the reception and you will be moved to a quieter room. There are sockets of all kinds, usb connectors. The food is good, without frills, but every day seafood and meat were enough, AVOCADO, fish for dinner) normal cocktails, the animation is bad. The beach is gorgeous) warning about the Anex tour, do not go to a meeting with them, all the information on your flight will be in the folder on the ground floor the day before departure, there is also a hotel guide's room as a last resort, but spending 2.5 hours listening to nonsense is a nightmare, it starts with intimidation and telling lies about others guides, they sell bad excursions at exorbitant prices: everyone who went with them then spat! And their tour is free for rum, it's a nightmare: they serve rum without excise duty and with crookedly pasted labels! This is Oliver rum, Makorix rum costs with excise duty and even labels, so the big question is whether they sell burnt rum there. In general, it is better to contact alexdominicana or Dominicana pro. I recommend the hotel itself)
Excellent service and rooms,good Internet everywhere,delicious cuisine,positive locals,a large heated outdoor pool, as well as a full-fledged small casino for the nostalgic.It's a rare case when you want to come back.
Among the disadvantages, there are a large number of "Tagil" from the USA and Canada, which are worse than ours, not that in Turkey, but perhaps even in Anapa.
We visited this hotel in May 2019. The hotel is large, beautiful, clean.The food is just great, the service in the dining room is also good, which can not be said about the service by the pool! The animation is incomparable-a group of dancers at a height, well done guys! The beach is very cool, the palm trees on the beach are super, you don't need umbrellas, the ocean is something-just paradise)) Our room was spacious, the bar in the room with three bottles of rum (with dispensers) is just a bomb, there are also two cans of beer, Coca-Cola and water in the refrigerator. Excursions are expensive, but they are worth it, I recommend not to take them from the hotel guides (expensive) and in the company,, two bananas,, are generally satisfied with the rest.We had a vacation in the Dominican Republic 2 times!👍🌊🌴
The All inclusive. 4* hotel. Affordable, but with good, even wonderful cuisine. The food is more like European and even closer to our usual Russian cuisine. For both children and adults, you can find the usual food. Fruits depend on the ripening season, but in February there are watermelon, melon, papaya, pineapple, passion fruit, etc. Always fish, meat and pork and beef, pizza, pasta, vegetables and sliced and in salads, olives, etc., etc.. always freshly squeezed juices of about 7 types and mixtures, including vegetables! Alcohol in the form of two types of local Rum, Vodka (it would be a mistake to expect that the rum was imported in the Dominican Republic) right in every room. There are cocktails and alcohol in the bars from 10 am. Not to say that the hotel is very different from the entire service in the Dominican Republic. Very convenient location - a 30-minute drive from Punta Cana airport. It is convenient to go on excursions to the Caribbean, fishing. The diving center is right on site. We are staying at this hotel for the second year in a row. I really like it.
We rested at this hotel from 17.10 to 25.10 2021, We really liked the hotel, despite the fact that the rooms are tired, the food is very tasty, seafood meat, pasta pizzas, a very large assortment of fruits and desserts, 5 minutes walk to the sea, good animation both during the day and in the evening.
I liked the hotel. High-quality food, a wide strip of beach. A green area . There is an opportunity to walk around the territory of nearby hotels of this chain. I would like to come here more than once.
We are currently staying at this hotel) just super, we really liked everything.
The hotel is clean, big, beautiful)
They even came to us from neighboring hotels and said that it was easy.
The food is incomparable, we have been to Turkey and Montenegro before, we liked it here the most)
We will definitely return to the Dominican Republic again 🥳🥳🥳🏖️
Great hotel!! Food, service-everything is fine. Slides, swimming pool. There are always a lot of free sun loungers on the beach, instead of umbrellas, picturesque palm trees.
A great hotel, the only one where the wait for check-in was not stressful)Excellent staff, they try to speak Russian and understand it well.Great cuisine.I'll be happy to go again.
We had a rest at the end of November 1917.It's a solid positive.Relaxed atmosphere, Varied food, decent alcohol.Friendly staff.And these palm trees on the beach and the ocean, I assure you, it looks better than in glossy magazines.Everyone liked it.I felt free, moreover, without knowledge of foreign languages.I wanted to come back this year, but...I hope, and really want, to visit the beautiful country of the Dominican Republic again, if possible at this hotel.
I liked the atmosphere of the hotel, it was friendly, the animation was good, the food and drinks were good with a minus, everything else was pleasant, the beach, the sea, the people, perfect. We were in November 2019
An ordinary hotel. There is everything you need. The food is quite normal. The rooms are a bit shabby, there are no slippers in the rooms, hair balm, the pool has very muddy water, which is not available in other Riu (we walked through all the nearby ones), mosquitoes in the evening.
The ocean with the beach is super, a decent water park, considering that it is at the hotel. The territory of the hotel is small, very well maintained. Daily room cleaning, if something did not work, was corrected within 10 minutes upon first request.
In general, the hotel was worth the money, the hotel was declared to be 4 stars, and it was 4 stars.
Great hotel! The beach is clean, there are palm trees instead of umbrellas, it's amazing. Good animation. A wide selection of sooo delicious dishes. The staff is friendly and attentive. Heaven on Earth, it's here!
The hotel corresponds to four arrivals, the rooms are good, the cleaning is not bad, the restaurant is also good, but not great, the diet is varied, but the variety is the same. It's a little noisy, especially on weekends, when locals come to rest, so who needs a quiet, quiet vacation, then this is definitely not here.
The hotel is surrounded by palm trees on the Atlantic Ocean, there are swimming pools. Animators are responsible for entertainment, bars on the beach and at the pool where cocktails are poured, which are also included in the all-inclusive system. Wild beaches and jungles begin a couple of kilometers along the shore.
I liked the hotel, it corresponds to the star rating. Of the nuances, I can note the lack of tubes in the hotel (environmental protection, etc.), but many cocktails and juices are not clear how to use, because they consist of small pieces of ice, and the wooden sticks that lie there are not good for anything. I would also like a more fun animation program in the daytime, more contests.Perhaps we were out of season, because we did not notice the games in the pool and other entertainment at 4 p.m., except for monotonous dance lessons and sports activities (aerobics and yoga)
It's also not very cool that there are rocks in the ocean, you have to swim to the left.And also, a tip, there is a coral reef behind the buoys, of course not like in Sharm el Sheikh, but after the closure of Egypt, and this is for happiness.And there are fish swimming there and sea urchins.To the right, if you look at the ocean, there is a market, then there along the way, if you see a dark spot in the ocean close, then this is also a reef.Have a good rest to everyone who wants to come to this hotel (oh, and don't forget the bite cream, there are a lot of mosquitoes) visited the hotel in early December.
We had a rest at the end of November 2017. Before that, I had a vacation only in Sochi, so there's not much to compare it with. Highlights:
1. The staff is friendly and sociable. They know a little Russian, but they still prefer Spanish. It is not so difficult to download an offline translator in advance. But keep in mind that the Dominicans are a slow-moving people. That's the mentality.
2. No one requires tips, but they are welcome.
3. Wi-Fi is free, it catches in the lobby, cafe and in the far part of the pool. Even taking into account the fact that a lot of people are always connected - the speed is "enough".
4. There is TV in the rooms, most of the channels are in English. Three channels in Russian.
5. The in-room safe is free of charge.
6. The sockets are universal, so you do not need to buy an adapter. The rooms also have air conditioning (which sometimes makes it really cold) and a hairdryer. If it gets cold, you can ask for a blanket at the reception - they will bring it without any problems.
7. Rooms are cleaned every day. However, the cleaning time varies depending on the distance from the elevator. The farthest rooms are cleaned at about 13-14 o'clock (just during lunch). The refrigerator is refilled every two days (water, pepsi and beer). The minibar with four varieties of rum is free, replenished as the bottles are emptied.
8. The distance from the beach is even on hand. It is absolutely not difficult to go through the extra 2-3 minutes. At the same time, you pass a number of souvenir shops. Prices, of course, are too high. However, no one forbids haggling. Sellers are not particularly intrusive, so as not to get (and not offend them), it's easier to say "No cash" (No cash).
9. Animation on site consists of yoga, darts, water polo, water gymnastics, dancing. Animators are not intrusive, they invite you to animation in an entertaining form and work it out 100 percent.
10. You will not stay hungry, because in the intervals between breakfast, lunch and dinner, snack bars are open, where you can always have a snack.
11. There are three bars: at the lobby (evening), by the pool (from morning to night) and on the beach (daytime). There are enough drinks for everyone: tea/coffee, juices, soda, cocktails, beer and spirits.
12. There is a water park next to the hotel. There are about 7 types of different slides. There is also a day bar on site.
13. The beach is clean, cleaned every morning. There are always free sun beds (the main thing is not to forget the towels at the hotel). Sellers of consumer goods are not intrusive. All means of transportation by water (which do not need fuel) can be rented free of charge there.
14. Excursions can be taken either through your guide or in the hotel lobby. There is also a Russian service Republica.pro ready to offer walks and excursions at significantly low prices (compared to others).
15. Drivers drive relatively dangerously. Almost always in the far light. If you see three people on the highway riding on the same scooter at a meeting, don't be surprised.
The large territory of the RIU hotel chain. There are water slides, bars, a disco, animation. Great beach , the room stock is normal. Good price/quality combination.
In general, everything is great.
But there were nuances.
Karaoke has very old songs and mostly Mikhail Krug and others like that, it wouldn't be bad to update, we didn't find anything to sing. The food was generally good, the first 4 days were great, then it got a little worse. There were 3 bottles in my room for a place of 4 bottles for the whole vacation, and in the last two days there were 2 left at all.
Both beds were slightly broken, a leg was broken on one side in the center. As a result, the bed was as if it had fallen through on one side, with 2 beds and both broken in the same way.
Animation was also missing. It's not enough somehow.
The vacation was still a success, but 5 stars will not come out according to the review.
In general, everything is fine, but on our next trip to the Dominican Republic we will consider another hotel. Not picky, but still I would like a little better. And so 3.5 points is no more.
Hello everyone We have been vacationing since 08/24/2018 with my wife on their honeymoon, we flew away for 15 days. A very cool place, sun, sand, ocean, palm trees, fruits, delicious food-what else do you need! This is paradise! The service is excellent! A cozy hotel, friendly staff, a cool pool and an animation team! Special greetings for Papa Johns!)) We will learn Spanish, we will definitely come back!))))
We visited this hotel in February. We really liked it. The rooms were cleaned every day. The free bar and refrigerator were updated every two days. Everyone is kind and friendly) The atmosphere is very pleasant.
The hotel is normal.
Staff 5+
Food (dining room) 5+
The beach is 5+, yes you need to walk a little, but the beach is gorgeous
The hotel has its own water slides 5+
There is a swimming pool, it is of different depths and quite large.
There is a bar and food near the beach.
Everything was great! Food, cleanliness and staff welcome. The beach is cleaned, no one imposes anything. Rest only on the positive side! We will definitely come back!!!
Because a lot of Russian speakers began to come to this hotel, they changed products to cheaper ones, coffee, little seafood, the waiters served breakfast at all, they did not even offer coffee or water. The animation, since the strongest two left for another hotel, completely slipped to 2. The hotel manager is connected with the hotel guides from Pegasus tourist and commit fraudulent actions against tourists. There's a whole gang in Punta Cana right now. Not only she, but also other tourists suffered from their fraudulent actions.

This is paradise!!!!!!!
We liked everything!!!
The rooms are a little tired, match the cost, we were satisfied with everything.
The ocean and the surrounding nature are just a miracle 😍
The price /quality ratio. We were fed at 5*. The territory is not large, the evening shows are mostly old local songs. The main thing is the beach. He's just perfect!
Pleasant, green hotel, 2nd line. It's not far to go to the beach, along a street dotted with shops, at the end of the street there is a bar. Not suitable for those who need super animation
On the second day of arrival at the hotel, in my room, I found 5 men who had smashed the walls. They didn't warn me. The animation is dead. At the end of the race, a foam cannon was brought, and cool contests appeared. On the last day, waiters began to come to the restaurant, pour water, and immediately take away the dishes. While we were eating, an inspector came up to us and asked us to evaluate everything. Everything became clear. They only work before inspections. And so in general everything is nice clean and friendly
The hotel is not bad. The only one of the Rio group of hotels, of which there are 3 pcs., where there is a Playground. It's so-so, but it's there. The pool is cleaned by hand, I did not dare to swim in it. There are mosquitoes from the swamp near the water park. The staff is polite.
Tea and coffee in the room to be. I really want to drink tea without going to breakfast. The hotel is amazing, the service is top-notch. I will be happy to come back here again.
Great hotel, located near the beach, palm grove on the beach, bar, I will definitely come back

We had a rest in November, we liked everything: the room is excellent, the food, the beach and the animation are at a high level. It was fun and interesting! We recommend it.
On the level of food, Internet and entertainment. Minus: The main contingent of vacationers consists of the retirement age. In general, I recommend it.
