Riu Republica: Our 1st Adult only all inclusive resort. It was excellent!!

We travel alot and go to at least 3 all inclusive resorts a year. Riu Republica is one of the best resorts we have been. We would recommend it to our friends because of the rooms, food, many pools, great sand and beach area and amazing and friendly staff!! We were at this resort from July 8th to 15th, 2019 and it was probably 35 to 40% full. Not sure I would want to be at this resort at high season, as it can hold a lot of people and there would be people everywhere and probably line ups a [... read more]t the buffets, etc. etc.

Riu Guanacaste: Beautiful views!

The hotel grounds were absolutely stunning with views of the mountains and tropical rain forest. We saw spider monkeys on a trail near the resort and enjoyed the calm waters by the beach. The food was amazing and there was a lot of variety of fruits and veggies. The kids loved the pastries, hot dogs and pizza. What was really nice was the flexibility to go to the more formal dinner restaurants as often as we wanted! No a la carte limits! Our only complaint would be that you could not control [... read more] the lighting by your room door. The entrance to your room, usually two rooms across from each other was down a small hallway but there was no window or lighting during the day. It was very dark and we could hardly see to put our door key in. It made me a bit uncomfortable. Honestly, that was the only thing I could criticize about the trip! Amazing sights, beautiful surroundings and great food. Staff were so helpful and Sunwing staff were so great. Other than that, a great trip!

Riu Palace Antillas: Old

The hotel is old,rooms smell and dirty. Not a palace at all. We had one bad thing after another. The entertainment was horrible like a school play. The energy by the pool was low key. Something happened in the room every day Fridge leaked and my boyfriend fell. The hotel is rundown not Riu style

Riu Republica: Nice resort

Resort was huge, very clean. Lots of walking but not really a bad thing. Great service. More geared towards younger travellers 20-35 years old. Food wasn’t the greatest. Sunwing worst company to travel with! Not a resort problem but a problem if you have to book through them. Delays upon delays. Absolutely ridiculous

Riu Palace Punta Cana: Great Resort!

Awesome and clean resort with nice luxury touches in rooms. Great food options and friendly staff. Small pools and nice beach area. Yoga near the beach and small but fine gym near the lobby. Love the cafe and dessert bar in the Lobby.

Riu Playa Blanca: Great vacation!

We just got home from a week at the Riu and loved it! The pools were clean and offered variety. The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The resort is right on the ocean which was lovely. The sand is black with a golden layer on top - very beautiful. The ocean was nice to swim in. The weather was perfect and provided a nice breeze from the ocean. The food was good, staff were friendly. We didn’t want to come home! We would definitely recommend this resort to everyone we know!!

Riu Palace Costa Rica: Beautiful Resort to Honeymoon

This resort was great! It is very modern and super clean everywhere we went! The rooms make you feel like you are right at home! The grounds are very well kept and maintained they are just beautiful! Don’t even get me started on how amazing the food was.... you can think of anything you wanted and garuntee they have it either at the buffet or the restaurants on the resort. The staff were so friendly and the service is a 10/10! I am so happy we chose to have our honeymoon at this resort! We wil [... read more]l definitely be going back

Riu Republica: great trip

Went with 4 friends and had a great time. Rooms, water, and the hotel are very clean, people are very nice as well. Enjoyed the restaurants as well as buffet. Slides were fun. Decent amount of walking which I didn’t mind at all

Riu Guanacaste: Great resort!

This resort was very clean, friendly, helpful and safe! I would definitely recommend it! It was very family oriented with lots to do! Delicious food and amazing people! We definitely enjoyed our stay.

Riu Republica: Best resort ever!

Ignore the negative reviews. They are just a bunch of miserable people who will never be satisfied. Great party resort with amazing entertainment, staff and food. Don’t. Miss the pool party if you end up going to this resort. The DJ killed it.

Riu Guanacaste: Beautiful resort!

We recently visited the Riu Guanacaste and had an amazing time! No complaints at all! The grounds were beautiful, food was great and the room was perfect! One of our favorite things were the monkeys that were just a short walk off the beach. They were usually there around 7 am and 5 pm every day. These little guys were so sweet and playful! We would definitely return.

Riu Palace Antillas: Beautiful resort

This resort was beautiful. Very friendly staff. Food was good. Weather was amazing. The staff keep all common areas and hotel room very clean. Hotel room is a little dated. But would recommend to friends.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: great resort.

The hotel was great. Nice renovations in the rooms, lobby, restaurants and gym. Very clean. Good food. There is an damp odor in the lobby and the no bathroom in the gym. Also no showers if we have late check out. We were forced to pay the added fee to keep our room longer if we want to enjoy the beach the rest of the day.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Great location and beach front

The hotel was great and perfect location. Keep getting power failure and had to operate on generator which was not strong enough for air conditioner, so most night were very hit without the air. Also had to line up for one hour for restaurants for dinners.

Riu Negril: Breathtaking Experience

This hotel was such a great place ! The staff was so welcoming, the food was amazing and the hotel was so up to date. I’m so happy I didn’t listen to the negative reviews because there was nothing wrong with this resort !

Riu Palace Baja California: Amazing Resort, Love Cabo !

Definetly would go back to this same resort. Never been to Cabo, and I wished I had not waited this long to go. The resort opened in Dec 2018, I usually give it a year. But not this time, we went June 27-July 4th, 2019. Absolutely nothing to complain about. We don’t like to lie on the beach, we walked it. High undertoe so no swimming in it. But with all else be 100% it did not effect our trip. The staff were so very friendly and great English. Food amazing, buffett better then the a la  [... read more]Cartes. I recommend you to go !

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: Perfect Week in Negril

The hotel grounds were fantastic! Everything was layed out perfectly with entertainment/bars/pools/restaurants all in the center of the resort. Loved that our walk from our room (1102) to the beach was less than 2 minutes and less than 4 minutes walk got us to the buffet. The staff was great and always accomodated whatever it was that we needed. Loved having our coffee after meals in the lobby cafe/bar. The beach was very clean and there were always beach chairs available. We spent the entire we [... read more]ek on the beach and never got to the pools but the pools looked clean and were well maintained. Lot's of great entertainment at the pools during the day as well! We had an excellent waiter who would bring us drinks on the hour to our beach chairs during the day! Room service was quick and easy to access. You would never want for anything there! The buffet food was great and had lots of selection. We walked up and down the 2 miles of Bloody Bay almost daily and enjoyed meeting different vendors along the beach. We did walk over to the Riu Negril resort as well but when we realized that their lunch buffet was outdoors (on an extremely hot day) we turned around and went back to the Air Conditioned buffet at ours. Although this resort is an hour and a half away from Montego Bay, it was well worth the long drive to this beautiful oasis. My fiance and I are considering returning next year for our honeymoon!

Riu Guanacaste: Not bad, but not amazing.

The resort it beautiful and clean. Unfortunately it rained non stop for 5 out of the 7 days we were there, so we tried to make the best of it. Our room was great, room was clean, fridge was always stocked and amazing WIFI systems throughout the resort. However, food was great but I felt like I was eating the same thing everyday, a la cart restaurants were always busy as they do not make reservations it's first come first serve. Having small children made it difficult to line up at 5:45 to ge [... read more]t in for a 7pm dinner. I would say 95% of the hotel staff do not speak much English so it was difficult to communication your needs and wants. There were also a lot of bugs and mosquitos, so lots of repellent is needed night and day. We enjoyed waking up to the monkeys in the mornings, even though we didn't see them you could still here them in the morning and a lot at night. The pool area was great, had something for everyone and liked that it wasn't too deep. The beach is something to be desired, I didn't enjoy it as I prefer white sand and clear blue water. just something about walking into the ocean and not being able to see your feet as you walk in. but my children enjoyed feeding the fish if you take a few slices of bread and throw it in beautiful and colorful fish will emerge, a great experience for the kids. The nightly show was great as well, got the children involved and then the entertainment was well put together. We missed Michael Jackson though, our sunwing rep said that we would see a famous Michael Jackson show and to our disappointment it never happened LOL next time I guess. overall my experience was good, would I go back to this resort, I don't think so but I would visit Costa Rica again.

Riu Negril: Ya Mon Jamaica

We recently stayed at the Riu Negril the resort was amazing. The people are the best part of Jamaica. Curtis and Natalia took really good care of us at the Main Bar making our trips a positive experience that we always looked forward too. The Resort always has events happening if you like to keep busy or you can either hang at the pools or the ocean. The Food was great with lots of variety. My only disappointment was the view of the Large Resort on the one side of the Riu which I was not ex [... read more]pecting. I will be returning to Jamaica Soon

Riu Republica: The best place been too.

The resort was amaizing. We had alot of fun. We enjoyed it. Definitely will return to Riu Republica for more adventure. Thank you Tripcentral for giving us a great price, with a big advise. Thank you Eva the travel agent. Who was wonderful and carrying all the way for us. Ofcourse most of the people will wright only positive experience with there vacation. But we will have to place a little of negative side. Sunwing did okay for us in the begging. But afterwords it turned around. The flight back [... read more] was not so great. Flight got delayed for over 12 hours. Had to stay in the resort. But. Sunwing fid pay for our extra day of vacation. But on the other side. When we have left to the airport from the resort. Our plane wasent in the airport. We had to wait for 5 more hours. Eventho. Once the plane have came at 5 in the morning. We had to sit in it for another hour in the heat. Whenever no conditioner was turnd on for our support of not getting over hot. The flight was not so good.. eventho. The trip was amaizing. I got 10/10 stars for Tripcentral and for Riu Republica Punta Cana. Thank you! Hopefully this review will help others. Or atleast someone will read it. Have a good day. And of you go to Riu. You wont regred it. Trust me on that. THANK YOU!
