I had a nice time, entertainment is very uplifting. I was not impressed with the food. All restaurants have the same style of menu. Premade apps and only 2 choices of menu. The buffet felt like a mass production of food. I been to at least 12 resorts in Dominican Republic i would give Riu a 31/2z

Disliked: Cleanliness
My room had a lot of issues, since the first day I arrived there were a lot of mosquitoes flying around and I had to get rid of them. Also there were cockroaches in the bathroom and walking around in the room, this was super disgusting. Even though, I read this on the reviews before, I didn't think it was going to happen to me. Also I had 2 bad experiences in the restaurants during dinner and breakfast time, clearly the staff is not well-trained to deal with customer service appropriately. During dinner time, my entree took a lot of time (around 30 minutes) and the servers told me that there was an issue with the gas line but I think they didn't put through my order and then they brought the dessert first (clearly they weren't communicating each other) and then for the breakfast time I went by myself to have breakfast and I went to get something to complement it and when I came back to the table my breakfast was gone! They told me that it was a matter of how to set the utensils on the plate, and that way they know that someone hasn't finished eating. They got me another omelette but I think the way they are trained is not the correct one, the place wasn't even busy at all to make the decision of just dump my food in less than 2 minutes that I was away from my table. It was a bittersweet experience but definitely there is room to improve many processes in terms of customer service staff training.

The staff was amazing! Excellent service! The only negative feedback I have is that the beds are very uncomfortable and sometimes the dishes were not the cleanest. Overall great experience.
