I have been to this resort 5 times, and never again will I go back! The beaches are lovley and the water is great. This place is slated for demolation in the fall. This would have been good to know before we went! We emailed ahead and asked for a central location as we had elderly parents and a pregnant... more

I took my daughter here for her 21st birthday. While most of the staff were great there were a few exceptions which left us both unnerved. My daughter lost our room/safe key which I neglected to take our room number tag off (honestly it didn't appear any of them would come off the string). After reporting it to reception and... more

This was our third trip to the Riu Resort in Punta Cana (we were before in Riu Naiboa and Riu Bambu of the same resort). We can’t compare the latest experience with our two previous trips 5 and 10 years ago. This is now a very old resort (probably 15 or more years) which didn’t see any renovation or update... more

We loved our stay, most of what I will write, has already been discussed, but here goes; -rooms are basic beds are firm and the pillows are flat, bring one if you need to -food is fair (the steakhouse wasn't great) but we always found stuff that we enjoyed, never went hungry, never dipped into our granola/power bars that we... more

Before we left on our vacation, I looked thru and read reviews of this resort. I was a bit nervous due to all the negative reviews but we were booked and ready to go. When we got there, we were immediatly greeted by the Reception staff and our bags were promptly taken to our rooms. We were shown where we... more

We stayed one week in Hotel Riu Taino Punta Cana and we spent a lovely week. The locations is fabulous, the Hotel is nice, but when booking, make sure you book for a superior room, because we heard about other Portuguese people who were there at the time that the rooms were awful. Is the perfect place to rest, take... more

Please Please do not go to this hotel. I am a retired travel agent, and have travelled the world . I have never and i repeat never experienced anything like this. I will not bore you with my nightmare, but will can only briefly warn you of my experience. Arrived at hotel, 6 hour check-in...The hotel staff were nasty, acted... more

First I should say I am an ex travel agent and have traveled extensively all over the world, I have been to the Dominican three other times and knew what kind of country we were traveling to. My family decided we would get away for the holidays and Trans National Travel has this resort rated as a 4 so we... more

Hard to believe this is the same Taino that others dis. I enjoyed a great room (std. hotel), no issues, very clean and comfortable, and found the food to be quite acceptable, although on the last day did see some undercooked chicken being put out - didn't stop some from taking it though! Yeah, the cleaning staff didn't speak english... more
