The hotel exceeded all my expectations, a huge well-groomed area, an excellent water park. Many bars and restaurants, 7 Ala Carte, each of which can be visited for free once for the entire period of rest. The food is simply superb, the choice is huge, and everything is insanely delicious: seafood, fruits, meat, everything you want and in a huge assortment.

The food is simply superb, the choice is huge, and everything is insanely delicious: seafood, fruits, meat, everything you want and in a huge assortment. There are always a lot of sun loungers by the pool, take at least two. The ocean is clean, sometimes there were algae, but very little and the staff is very responsive, they have never encountered a negative, everyone is as courteous as possible.
The room is huge, everything is new and clean, cleaning daily. The territory deserves separate words of admiration - huge, green, peacocks are walking.
Very active and fun animation, all at a high level.
Definitely recommend to visit.

Chose a hotel based on reviews of the presence of algae. Since in 2021 there was a large influx of Sargasians, I did not want to build up because of them upon arrival. There were free seats for the flight 2 days before departure, and we flew. Hotel 18+. This pleased) We were checked in at 3 pm without any questions.

Hotel 18+. This pleased)
We were checked in at 3 pm without any questions. The room is large, spacious, cool. The minibar is packed with beer, water, soda water. There was no quarantine of alcohol in the rooms due to quarantine. Large king size bed. View of the courtyard with a stage. I thought it would interfere, but it was all over at half past 11 in the evening, apparently the disco hall is inside, but it was closed.
Cleaning was daily, towels and bed linen were changed. The bar was replenished. No one stole from the safe, although I didn't put anything there. I used the lock on the suitcase. And the staff is polite and friendly, not like a thief.
About 8 pools are available and one water park. Almost every bass has a bar. But the traffic itself was on the bass on the way to the beach. The people extinguished around the clock.
In the pools you can swim until the morning. This was not the case in Egypt or Turkey.
The beach is big and wide. There was little algae, and they were cleaned until 9 am. The ocean is not as long as in Sri Lanka, a couple of days was generally calm. Very cool water.
Neighboring hotels were not very lucky, walked along the coastline to Rio Palazzo and ofigeli. All beaches are dotted with smelly algae, on some beaches almost vomited from the stench. This hotel probably has an area where they swim less. Thanks to my wife, I chose what I needed.
On the beach there are comfortable sunbeds under palm trees, cool.
You can swim in kayaks and other things for free.
There are several restaurants on the map. But the food is similar, I liked the hall more. There were crabs one day, shrimp, shells for about three days. Well, a lot of other food. We rolled out immediately after eating on the beach to hang on
The only downside is that sometimes there are smelly towels.
And Latin in the evenings got tired of the end.
In the first week, Russian-speaking guests were 10 percent. Which is very cool. People could be found from all continents. There was a norm of music in the pool. But then brought Russian-speaking, and it was not so cool) In the pool could be heard and Valeria and Morgentsherna.
WiFi is allowed on two simultaneously connected devices. The coverage reached all the way to the ocean beach very well. They decided not to buy a SIM card.
Staff barely English, Russian only one guy at the reception joked. All in Spanish. Prepare a few standard phrases in Spanish, communication will be faster.
The staff serves very quickly, constantly come and offer something to pour). All in masks and uniforms in such heat. They work like horses. They can be thanked for tips. No one has ever asked explicitly for tea, as gratuity is required in Egypt.
The shop at the hotel is very expensive.
It is necessary to pack up to go to the city on uber (the good it there is and times cheaper than local taxi drivers). Behind the hotel is empty, especially nowhere to walk. And this time we didn't need it.
I really liked the emotions full of swimming trunks.

While on vacation, we wanted to write a review about the hotel. from the first day we just got high on the atmosphere, staff, food, etc. , etc. But we gathered just now, so point by point:
1. Hotel
We settled in fairly quickly. The room they provided matched the booking so there was no issue with that. The room is clean, everything worked. Although the TV was turned on once during the entire stay) The room was cleaned every day, well and efficiently. A nice bonus: the minibar is free! It is also replenished every other day. But still it's nice)
All valuables were left in the safe, everything remained safe and sound.
The territory of the hotel is well-groomed and clean. Huge amount of green spaces. The water in the pools is constantly checked for purity, samples are taken - they themselves were witnesses. If necessary, the pool is closed and disinfected.
A huge PLUS of this hotel: 18+ That is, there are no children AT ALL. Therefore, the hotel is ideal for newlyweds, companies and all those who decide to take a break from the company of children)
2. Beach
The beach is big and clean. On the beach there are a large number of palm trees and sun loungers under them. Therefore, there are no problems with sun loungers at all, it is not necessary to occupy them. Although we rested during the seaweed season, the beach was cleaned every day. Yes, during the day the ocean washed up algae. But compared to the beaches of the nearest hotels, the beach of our hotel looked clean.
3. Staff
We have never met such wonderful, friendly, cheerful and smiling people anywhere else. And although all the staff constantly wears masks, we saw that they are smiling at us in their eyes)
4. FOOD (highlighted in large print, because this is a particularly important moment on vacation)
We had everything! ) Seafood, meat, fish, fruits, etc. for every taste and variety. We are silent about fresh juices, because they are from local products incredible here. Pineapples are just the bomb! Separately, it is worth trying Peking duck. We have never experienced such a gastronomic pleasure and we strongly recommend trying it.
As strange as it may sound, not all hotels in Punta Cana had such a choice of food. On excursions I met guys from other hotels (not from the RIU network) and they complained about the complete lack of seafood and a limited amount of meat.
Separately, we note for the sweet tooth: the choice of sweets, pastries and cakes will pleasantly surprise. Including a chocolate fountain (white, milk and black).
Cons: NONE)
We hope the review will be useful, because. we realized for ourselves that this is important when choosing a hotel. Before booking this hotel, we read conflicting reviews, but still decided to opt for it and DID NOT REGRET IT IN A DITTER! ) WE DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!
And special thanks to our travel agents Marina and Evgenia for recommending the hotel and accompanying the rest)

Let's start with the fact that the hotel is STEALING from the safe and from the room!! ! And you can’t prove this in any way and you won’t return things, because there are no cameras, the administration doesn’t care, and the rest spoils! On the first day, expensive glasses were stolen from the room, after that, gold jewelry from the SAFE! When they tell you that a safe is the safest place, it's not true! Remember the suitcase with a lock - that's the safest place to store things! The hotel rooms are not fresh, they clean poorly (towels are dirty, bed linen has never been changed in 14 days) and with and without tips.

The pools are clean, the towels that are given to the pools and the beach are also in a terrible state! Spotted and scorched, ugly.
The food is normal, I liked the A la carte restaurants more, in the general restaurant the food gets boring.
The staff is normal, friendly, but only the manager speaks English, the other three words and that's it! About Ukrainian and Russian we are not talking about her here they do not know!
Animation is boring, there are no discos (
We will not go to the Riu hotel chain for the second time and we do not recommend it to you!

Since this was our first trip to the Dominican Republic, we chose both the place and the hotel very carefully. And, in general, I think you guessed it. The main disadvantage of the trip was the flight itself. He, of course, has nothing to do with the hotel, but guys, think 1000 times before flying with Azur Air.

Since this was our first trip to the Dominican Republic, we chose both the place and the hotel very carefully. And, in general, I think you guessed it.
The main disadvantage of the trip was the flight itself. He, of course, has nothing to do with the hotel, but guys, think 1000 times before flying with Azur Air. There are so few seats on the plane that even with a height of 164 cm it was very uncomfortable for me and the flight seemed like an eternity!
And now about the good!
We were at the hotel at 9 o'clock, they issued us, they told us which room, but, unfortunately, no one settled until 16-00. We offered $ and went to check, the room was indeed being cleaned at 15-00. The thing is that because of the coronovirus, they populate only 60% of the rooms. We arrived after the weekend. On the weekends, a lot of people are settled there and they really do not have time to prepare the rooms.
Rooms. Spacious, new, well cleaned and no tip. The bar is replenished regularly.
The rooms are not mega cool, but quite normal, without stains, breakages and shabby furniture. It was a little strange to see some kind of all-in-one liquid in the bathroom - shampoo and shower gel. I'm still used to the fact that there are more cosmetics in 5 *. Although, I always use only my own))
Nutrition. Let me tell you, it's all relative. In general, the choice is large and varied. Meat, fish, seafood, sushi, fruits (a lot of mangoes and sweet watermelon and pineapple, the rest is so-so), various cheeses, desserts and much more. There are restaurants besides the main one. We tried the Asian one - nothing special. In general, there are plenty to choose from. You definitely won't be hungry. We were fine. We met our compatriots who were simply delighted with the restaurants. So, to each his own.
In bars, well, honestly, the standard swill. Little alcohol. The taste is diluted.
Territory. Big, well-groomed, green, beautiful. There is a water park. We didn't go there, so I won't say anything.
There are 3 swimming pools with bars. Moreover, in the pools you can stay around the clock.
Beach. Well, very handsome! There are waves and it's cool! Sometimes a strong wind blows from the ocean. For 2 weeks it was 3 times. We had to go to the pools - there it is not noticeable at all. There was little algae and they were removed every morning. I didn't like how close the sun loungers were to each other. This is strange, given the large beach and the situation with the pandemic. Sellers of souvenirs, clothes, glasses walk along the beach, but they are not intrusive.
Staff. The restaurant - very slow and $ still does not save. But, that's their mentality. They are nimble at the bars - the crowd obliges. In general, management staff is good. All issues are resolved quickly. They helped us with the safe to deal with the balcony door. We had an emergency, I injured my leg in the ocean, so we were moved to the first floor, to the nearest room to restaurants and pools, without $ and any questions.
In the evenings, the theater hosts entertainment programs. They were not even bad and did not repeat in 2 weeks.
Wi-fi is available throughout the property and is quite good. But, keep in mind that you can only connect 1 gadget per person.
Excursions were ordered on the Internet from Republica Pro. Much cheaper than Anex offered, also with Russian-speaking guides, very rich and interesting.
In general, we were satisfied with the rest and we can recommend the hotel.

A hotel with a beautiful well-groomed territory, a snow-white sandy beach on which there were practically no algae (they appeared only at high tide, unlike neighboring hotels, in which there were algae all the time). There are many pools and water park)) The food is varied, there were a lot of fish and seafood, as well as different types of meat, and most importantly tropical fruits)) The bar has a huge number of delicious cocktails)) It should be borne in mind that the hotel is currently operating with a 30% load.

It should be borne in mind that the hotel is currently operating with a 30% load. On weekends there is more movement and noise, many vacationers come for the weekend. Of the vacationers now, only Americans, Ukrainians and Dominicans. It is felt that now the hotel is saving a little (they removed congratulations on the DR and for the newlyweds, the rooms look tired).
We advise you to look at the room that will be given, check all the furniture and sockets, if something does not work, go change the room (they change it at the reception without any problems).
Wi-Fi works everywhere on the territory. The staff tries to be as polite and helpful as possible))
In general, the hotel is really more suitable for youth, active recreation (a big plus that the hotel is 18+).

The hotel was chosen based on reviews. I liked that the hotel is for adults only. We arrived at the hotel around 20:00, quickly settled and sent for dinner. The room is spacious, bed 2x2m, bedside tables, sofa, coffee table, large chest of drawers, flat-screen TV (we found 3 Russian channels-23.24 and 95), a large wardrobe (20 pieces of hangers), a good-sized safe (a laptop fits), iron, ironing board, 2 sinks, shower, toilet (there is always water in it - this is how the sewage system is arranged in the Dominican Republic), 3 large towels, 2 small ones and a foot towel, 2 terry bathrobes, liquid soap in the shower, 2 air conditioners, 2 body milk, solid soap, napkins, a container with sachets, toilet paper in sufficient quantity, a refrigerator with soft drinks, drinking water and 4 cans of beer, a mini-bar (rum, whiskey, gin, capital vodka).

We left 1 dollar. , nothing was missing from the room, they were cleaned regularly, the water was replenished every other day, the mini-bar was supplemented at will. There is a clothes dryer on the balcony. The hotel has two main restaurants, Mangu and Altagracia, and 6 a la carte restaurants. The food is excellent, you can always find something to your liking. . Meat of all kinds: chicken, turkey, pork, beef, lamb. From seafood there were mussels, shrimps, red caviar. Salted red fish, baked, stewed fish. Lots of different snacks. Fruits all the time: bananas, apples, kiwi, grapes, watermelon, mango, pineapple, papaya and something else. Fresh juices in the morning, champagne on request, juice, soda, coffee in vending machines (coffee is also brought by waiters). There are 2 types of soup for lunch. In the morning, delicious croissants, pancakes, thin pancakes. Mostly we didn’t try pastries, but sliced muffins are delicious. From the main restaurants, food can be taken out to the room and to the pool. A la carte restaurants operate mainly according to the following system: appetizers, desserts - buffet, main course - on the menu, there is a wine list (for a fee), you can bring cocktails from the bar with you. We liked all the restaurants, except for the Italian one (there is nothing new and everything is a buffet). Before reaching the beach, you can have a bite of grilled chicken before lunch in an outdoor cafe. The hotel has 9 bars, Pacha disco, 2 stages, 6 swimming pools, water park, spa, gym (which is always crowded), there is a tourist shop (there is no fruit). For shopping, including fruit, you can go to the San Juan shopping center ($ 5 / person there / back), 3 times / day, tickets at the reception. You can also buy fruits on excursions to Saona, Samana (we did just that). Anex has a free trip to the Factory, where we bought coffee, rum, cosmetics, souvenirs. Our guide Alina from Aneks forgot to offer us this trip, we had to ask ourselves. The beach near the hotel is good, but we were not lucky - all the days there was a yellow and red flag, strong waves, it was impossible to swim. There were no seaweeds. They said that there were no waves on the right side. We walked for 3 hotels, but there are the same waves, and there are a lot of algae in the ocean and on the shore. Enjoyed the holiday!! ! Recommended.

The hotel is brand new, not yet worn out and not hackneyed. Only 18+, which makes it even cooler. And then went some pluses, almost without complaints. A little lacking in lush greenery, but it will still grow, although everything else is wonderful. But there is also a wide strip of tall and sprawling palm trees right in front of the beach itself, a lot of shade from their leaves, sunbeds are scattered right there.

But there is also a wide strip of tall and sprawling palm trees right in front of the beach itself, a lot of shade from their leaves, sunbeds are scattered right there. It was here that we loved to relax most of all, and even managed to get burned, so I advise you to take the strongest sunscreen with you. The beach is simply amazing, wonderful sand, perfect cleanliness, no algae or jellyfish, the ocean itself is of unique beauty, you should swim in it yourself, words and photos cannot convey this beauty, even through a video! The hotel area is comfortable, everything is divided into zones, there are already 8 pools for various types of recreation, active, with animation, with slides, not many, only 4, but cool, with a bar even with tables and round chairs right in the water, right there in there are water loungers, a great place for an afternoon cocktail, or just calm for relaxation, for deep swimming, playing for volleyball and basketball, so for sure for every taste. In addition, there are many other entertainments, active and fun animation, music and dancing, evening entertainment, discos, musicians, water activities. Sports are also not spared. A wonderful gym, its own sports RiuFit with morning workout programs. We had a great time and had a lot of fun. When choosing a hotel, there were many requests, and they all coincided in the Riu Republica hotel. And we were helped to choose this particular hotel by an excellent master of his craft, and simply a wonderful tour agent Dmitry Kukin. Quickly, efficiently, without any delay, and most importantly very professional and most importantly in the top ten according to all wishes. We turned to him on the Internet, or rather through the social network VKontakte. We found it quickly, just as quickly picked up and issued everything, in general, everything is super! We were traveling with a group, so we booked three different rooms with different requests and all turned out to be excellent, everything we expected and even more. The rooms are fresh and clean, we had a side ocean view, but we can say that almost with a direct. The room is spacious, everything you need from water to a premium alcohol dispenser. One large bed, in our case, 2 x 2 meters, incomparably comfortable. Sofa in the living area, coffee maker, comfortable and large shower room, you can easily fit together. We had just an amazing terrace with a table and chairs and a view, just a gorgeous view! Cleaning is excellent, even if something could be forgotten, then on the first call to the reception everything was immediately brought or replenished, and then only a couple of times, basically everything is fine. And of course separately about food and drinks. There is a lot of everything, alcohol in any high-class bar, even champagne. Large selection of sushi and rolls. Stewed seafood with vegetables, an excellent selection of cheeses, there was jamon and cold cuts, a large selection of fruits. Smoothies, juices, ice cream, sweets. 9 restaurants for the most picky customer, but the steakhouse was beyond any competition. 10 different bars, you can even order a wonderful romantic dinner. The whole company is just delighted, it was just a mega vacation!

Chose this hotel based on good reviews! In fact, everything turned out to be not as beautiful as it was written! 1) food: monotonous (every day the same thing) For breakfast, only eggs cooked in different ways Lunch, dinner are the same, no seafood (only mussels, fish), nothing out of the ordinary and new! If something new appears, the queue for it is like a sausage in the USSR.

Chose this hotel based on good reviews! In fact, everything turned out to be not as beautiful as it was written!
1) food: monotonous (every day the same thing)
For breakfast, only eggs cooked in different ways
Lunch, dinner are the same, no seafood (only mussels, fish), nothing out of the ordinary and new!
If something new appears, the queue for it is like a sausage in the USSR.
Plates often come across dirty, chipped.
2) the toilet by the pool is ugly dirty, it is not possible to go there
3) anamastya only works for Americans
4) there may be unwashed biological stains on the linen
5) the hotel itself resembles a mental hospital, white corridors, little greenery on the territory.
6) there is nothing good in restaurants either, but you have to wait an hour and a half for food
We liked only the beach: the sand is clean, the water is without mud!
