We return on Tuesday from a really lovely stay at the Rui Bachata. The food was excellent, that good that we managed to put on 8 pounds, but it was worth it. We were surprised at some of the things that were on offer in the restaurant, myself it may seem sad but was looking forward to having more of... More

I travel somewhere different every year for my birthday. Don't take what I say personally, this is ONLY my opinion. The room was dirty, linens not changed daily, no soap, no towels, refrigerator dirty, mini bar not operational, and there was this weird smell, that remains in my clothes even after several washings. The food was horrible, gave us the... More

We were not planning to like an all inclusive resort but this place was great. Super clean and since my husband is a chef and I'm a food fan (hate the word foodie) we were not expecting a lot. Pleasantly surprised with the buffet, of course it's not fine dining (hello, it's a buffet) but there is definitely something for... More

Enjoyed a fantastic holiday at the Riu Bachata! There was plenty to do with day and night entertainment, bars and restaurants. All staff were very friendly, helpful and the entertainment team work really hard to make sure you enjoy yourself. The resort was extremely clean and maintained with staff constantly cleaning and gardening. There was plenty of choice in the... More

I'll be honest. This resort was not our first choice...but it was wonderful. The lobby opens into nicely kept gardens and the pool. The beach has plenty of chairs and shade. The rooms are, well, roomy, and nicely appointed. There is a row of nice shops that end up at the beach and a walking strip all the way to... More

If you can afford to stay here, do it!! I stayed here for 2 weeks for my 18th birthday and would love to go back. I am very well travelled and have not stayed in a better hotel anywhere else! I'm a very fussy eater and they had something for me everyday. I would recommend the excursions too, well worth... More

We travelled from Charlottetown, PEI to Dominican Republic for a week of rest and sunshine. We stayed at the Riu Bachata and absolutely enjoyed our vacation. The resort was a small resort compared to some of them so it was very easy to get from your room to the beach, pool and restaurants and buffets. The rooms were very clean.... More

Spent 2 weeks in the Bachatta and loved every minute! Went in a large group for a wedding and everyone was sad to leave, we all wished we could stay another week! The food is definitely of a better standard in the bachatta than the mambo and merengue! Found something I liked every meal! I think they could do with... More

Staff is excellent, drinks are great , grounds are immaculate and food is ok. Never got sick from the food, but just found it not to be great. Also , don't like that the locals can come in on the weekends. Would be fine it they would not load, obnoxious and drunk....puking in the pool and having it closed down.... More
