We stayed at the Riu Bachata from April 26 to May 3. We have done a considerable amount of traveling to all-inclusive resorts and on cruises all throughout Mexico, the Caribbean and South America. I have to say this was the best trip we have ever had. The resort was beautiful and unbelievably clean. I really don’t understand what those... more

We stayed at the Riu Bachata from April 16th-May 1st to attend our son’s wedding. There were 31 wedding guests and two sisters getting married on two different days. Our flight from Halifax with Air Transat was great, met our Sunquest representative at the airport, no problem. On our arrival, our rooms were not ready and we waited from about... more

Well what can i say, just got back from a lovely warm , but damp climate, swam every day, and went to the beach. Took my 16 year old son john, he loved the fact that he could get in the night club, he had a great time, he met lots of freinds from all over the world, and played... more

We just got back from the Riu Bachata and were very pleased. I had read a number of reviews online and I was a little worried because 1 out of 10 said it was horrible or the food was terrible or something. My feeling is that you get what you look for wherever you are. After staying in the Bachata... more

We have just returned on 29th April from the Riu Bachata. I have to say it was the most enjoyable all inclusive resort we have stayed in and we have travelled virtually all over the world. The food was good, staff were so helpful and it is spotless. They never stop cleaning. I just don't know what people that write... more

We visited Riu Bachata in the Dominican Rep this past April, '08. I am compelled to write because we were gravely disappointed with this resort. If I could find out who is in charge at Riu, I'd want my money refunded. This is precisely the problem at Riu - No one is in charge. When serious problems arose no one... more

For my birthday my girlfriend booked this resort believing it was a full 4star resort. It definately is not. The Bachata resort is right next to 2 others managed by the same company . There is very ittle difference in that the less expensive resorts get to use the full facility at the 4 star. The service was good and... more

Travelled to the Dominican with my husband and his family between April 17 and April 25. It was my first all-inclusive experience. Stayed at the Riu Bachata for the duration. Overall impression was positive. Front desk was well staffed with multi-lingual individuals which made for fast and easy check-in and check-out. Buffet food was abundant with a wide variety of... more

Yes the Dominican Republic is not the most economically viable country in the world, but this is not an excuse for the Riu Hotel chain to provide what I would describe as an average experience. This is mine and my wife's 4th all inclusive (done Jamaica, Mexico and Cuba) and this was the least enjoyable. Ill break my review into... more
