Riu Republica

Nice beach, SOME nice staff (beach small hidden bar and the garden pool bar gents were brilliant). Jerk chicken delicious. Negatives - Sick on paths and half drank drinks all over the full duration. Cig butts in room corridors - surely staff notice this?? Alcohol options rubbish - wet dirty cups making beer flat or cocktails split. Queue for steakhouse is ridiculous it’s 2026 number one! - waiting an hour to book a table in a silent 40% full restaurant with rude staff is a joke. Pool water disgusting every single day. Main “party” pool nearly beach had sick in for 3 days?? We didn’t even sit by it, awful The lack of COLD water access in 32c+ is tough. Ordering on the app every few hours and only every other order arriving - then asking for a tip on top. Booked some external excursions with TUI which made the hol. Definitely worth paying the extra for a different resort. Wouldn’t come again or recommend to others unfortunately

his resort has the best energy in Punta Cana. The adults-only atmosphere is non-stop fun. The casino is huge and very lively.

The stay was nice, the ac didn’t really work in the room but overall it was fun. We had a good time with all the staff members.

Overall this resort is good. Definitely recommend the atmosphere and location. Staff was rude and not helpful at all. Food was ok nothing to brag about

This hotel is an adults only has multiple pools a variety in restaurants and bars. It don't have A/C in open spaces only in the nightclub, restaurants and bedrooms. Elevators don't have A/C, lobby or some bars are open areas not in a close environment. Due to this I felt hot almost all the time they have some fabs but small and some where not even on. Be aware since it's open lots of mosquitos in the area. The buffet had a lot of variety the only thing is they didn't label correctly all the time and as a shellfish allergy They did not separate seafood from some meats that I had to request a new batch everytime because people change the spoons and I was not gonna risk it. Most of the restaurants are buffet as well except the steakhouse tgat you order 3 course menu. Also restaurants is first come first serve no reservations. The beach was within waking distance but they did not have a bar close to the beach you had to go to the pool bar. RIU party is not in the hotel so we took shuttles to get there. Over is a great hotel for party with friends and have a good time but is rated a 5 star hotel and for me it's a 3.5 I have stay in multiple RIU before.
