I am giving this property a three-star review because there was a noticeable humidity smell throughout all the buildings, including the rooms. Additionally, our key cards kept deactivating, and I had to visit the front desk about four times to have new ones issued. It wasn’t until a housekeeper mentioned that the cards stop working when stored near a cellphone. The front desk was often difficult to reach by phone, and multiple attempts to request housekeeping through the RIU app were unsuccessful, as it never worked. That said, it wasn’t all negative. The hotel’s proximity to the beach was ideal, the room was spacious and clean, and the front desk staff was generally helpful in person. The food was average.

I went on a solo trip I felt safe the whole time. The property is clean and the staff is nice. The food could've been better but can't really complain when everything was GREAT. I recommend getting the elite the perks are worth it. I want to say Suge that checked me in with Elite was so helpful,I had a really nice bell man (sucks I can't remember his name), and most of all Evelyn in the Elite bar is the best. If you want good quality drinks make sure to find her. Everything about her is Great!!!

Traveled with family

Dec 8, 2025

Had issues with room keys and internet. Then had a free return trip back to airport included in package. I went to speak about setting up my return trip to airport on 11/27/25. Spoke to Robert who is in charge of the destination packages told me to write down all my information so he can arrange transport. He looked at it said ok and told me to go back on Saturday the day before I leave to get information about when we will need to leave. I go back on Saturday and Robert then informs me that no they do not do return trips to SDQ airport only Punta Cana airport and I needed to email Expedia. He then turned and spoke to other people ignoring me. Later on Saturday the restroom light shocked me. This created a burning pain from my finger to my wrist. I have discoloration on my finger from where I was shocked. Once informing customer service, Anna Maria I was given some burn cream and told if it gets worse to let them know. Atmosphere was amazing but customer service and all around would I go back a big No.

Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025
