Transportation to the resort was a little cramped, but that was booked with vacation package. Check in was a breeze. Traveled with boyfriend and another friend. We were given room immediately and they were next to each other. Each had fully stocked fridges and great decks with rockers. Rooms were adequate. A/C worked fine. We did keep curtains drawn and... more

Thanks to everyone who provided past reviews - just returned on Oct 8 2009. Hotel is on the RIU compound between Bamboo, Naiboa, Taino and Palace Punta Cana. Smallest of the group which makes it really easy to get from the room to the restaurants, pool and the beach. Dinner a la carte is exceptional but the international dinner buffet... more

The rooms are extrememly... more
