No Wi-Fi in our room the entire trip. Mosquitoes lived in our room. The staff said they’d come to our room and never came. Food not that great. The entertainment was okay. Would not stay here ever again!

Beautiful location. Great staff (front desk needs improvement with their check in - recommend the early check in) great entertainment, the property is large. We had one of the first built villas but still in good shape

Check-in took almost an hour only about 10 people in front of us. There were several staff members helping but nobody seemed to know what they were doing. There were three members looking at one computer they seemed to be arguing. This kept happening over and over. Once we got checked in they did not inform us of anything in regards to dining, how to set up reservations. The resort is very long they have transportation from the lobby to the beach so you don't have to walk we were not informed of this we had to figure this out on our own. Only three outlets in our room only one was working And our mini fridge didn't work. It took 2 days and four trips to the front desk to get bottles of water put in our room. I will never stay at this resort ever again.

The property is beautiful with clean rooms and good breakfast, lunch, dinner bufftets. Ala carte dinners should have been more. The beach is pristine and clean. Entertainment was good. Ala carte dinners were good(Greek/Mexican) On the other hand the service was terrible. All Staff did not speak a word of English, hence difficult to communicate. Terrible service in buffets. Every single time received Coffee/beer etc at the buffet service after we had almost finished breakfast/dinner. There was always a shortge of plates at buffets. Entertainment was also in Spanish. But otherwise had a pleasant stay.

From the outside the hotel is beautiful. It reminds me of a tropical Disneyland. However, the hotel experience was not great at all. Room cleanliness was absolutely not there. There were cockroaches everywhere and lots of mosquitos. Also bed sheets were stained and housecleaning services did not replace the sheets at all. It is a very big resort so it would have been helpful to have a lot of direct information from the start. Some staff members were friendly and but for the most part were not. Did not feel welcomed by staff. When I had a question I had to ask several staff members because I was given short responses. Overall, organization needs work. And I would not recommend this place to others. I spoke to other tourists and they had a better experience at Riu. If I come again, I would not be staying here again. All the reviews I have read about this resort have been bad and I totally agree.

I was there Super Bowl weekend, they had staff going around with chips and drinks the whole night which I thought was nice, Argenys at the beach bar was super nice goes above and beyond to make the perfect drink, the food is TERRIBLE was sick the whole time I was there, I was afraid to eat because I already knew I was going to be running to the bathroom, mind you I’ve been to plenty of resorts in punta cana never have I ever gotten sick, the staff at the buffet were very nice, it’s unfortunate that the food was disgusting, will I be returning to this resort ? Nope!

Was a lovely hotel, all the staff was friendly and we were upgraded for free because our room was not ready on time. Lots of amenities and activities. The pools and beach were beautiful. The only thing that I would say could be improved is the food. Buffet food is the same everyday and gets pretty old after a few days. The alacarte dinners were better for sure, but very hard to book into as they fill up fast.

DO NOT STAY HERE. All the things listed on Expedia are there but depending where you are staying determines whether or not you have access to everything. It’s a joke. Almost everyday we had to get new room keys for our room. They stopped working. Staff is inconsiderate and slow. Hardly any beach so many beach chairs. High tide hits the front row of chairs so you can’t even walk the beach at that time. Around the property is desolate and just a big dump for everyone’s trash it smells. Limited stuff to buy on property for your room. Buffet was always running out of plates and for all the drinks they had there wasn’t ever enough cups out. Only thing good was the action stations everything else was bland or overcooked. Only good thing I can say was the Japanese and Italian restaurant were amazing I highly recommend them. As I said before DO NOT STAY HERE. Better off staying somewhere else

Felt It was quite disorganized compared to other places. At out arrival room wasn't ready. When we finally got the room it only had one bed, we booked two beds. On the third day we finally got our two bed room and seemed it was double booked as another family invaded. Bahia did offer a complementary massage for the inconvenience, however they did try to charge us for the massage at checkout. The whole experience in DR has left a bad taste, as a result we may not come back to the island or Bahia.

The restaurants were terrible. Service was so bad. we had to clean our own table, get our own cutlery, the staff has a bad attitude when you request something like a glass of water or another drink. Every lunch at the buffet by the beach they ran out of plates. 'The trunk' restaurant is so disorganized and sometimes the computer screens did not work. Not enough beach chairs. The only positive i would say is the entertainment staff.
