Thanks for the review. I’m going in July. I heard the food was actually good from several people but I guess it to each one’s preference. I also heard the resort rooms can use an update, but for the price I’m paying for 6 days I’ll deal with it. I just hope I don’t get to experience a moldy smelly . I also read that because it’s a party hotel they water the drinks down more. I will buy a me a bottle when I get there lol.
You’re welcome yes, some people I was with in the group love the food so it is to each is own. The room is definitely good enough to stay for the price and if you buy a bottle, I would definitely try to buy one at your airport duty-free store if it’s open. If you run out of liquor, the best prices is at the pool party for a bottle just in case if you run out and you need some more for excursions because there is more higher prices. i’m not only hope but know you would have a great time if you have a open mind. safe travels
Yes unfortunately it was in the room and we were with 3 couples who all had the same issue in their room. As far as the food at one point we all had slight stomach aches but nothing too serious. I would just make sure to stay away from the water and anything that might be made with unfiltered water. Safe travels!
Hi, unfortunately, you have to be staying at one of the RIUs to be able to attend the parties or you can get a day pass for around 100 a day if you know somebody staying there.
The presentation A☝️everything look amazing like the foods the steak looks delicious and it is true. Service would've made it better if you don't wanna go down the next day until the middle of the day but the pool party disco and everything beside the smell,, everything nice in Dominican Republic 👍 🎉❤
All you do be careful with the drinking water I never knew I wasn’t supposed to drink the water give to me and I was vomiting all night on the third night there a large bottle of water that’s given in the room that says Alaska it’s the best to drink . When I got sick I called the front desk to ask if I can get some assistance they said they don’t have room service in most cases u have to walk to the front desk make sure and try to stay to the right of the front desk if u want to be closer to the beach and have a party vibe . There a lot of events other than the pink party and jungle party Sunday nights there’s a party on the beach and some nights there’s an acrobatic party and Michael Jackson party next to the club. The sports bar got some good sandwiches and fruits make sure and take some if u want up to your room .Be sure to take the time and try to fill out your forms with destination services to get a ride to and from the resort to airport . The people are very nice one guy ignored me at the pink party and jungle party the same guy if u don’t have a tip in hand he would try to avoid serving u a drink but everyone else were extremely friendly. There’s a lot of restaurants so I suggest when u first get there and settle in u walk the entire resort so u can have an idea . I spent 5 days and didn’t realize there were more restaurants behind the sports bar.
Hey, thank you for the input. Yes, that’s all great advice definitely the water. You should only drink the bottle water for sure and even just brush your teeth with it. Great advice.
Hi, yes it’s still like this during the week! Everyday they have different activities. They also have pool parties on Monday jungle themed, Wednesday white themed, and Friday Pink party! 🎉
I been to this hotel 8 times over the years. Only just got back May 23rd. I always spend 2 weeks here. The food is great. End of the day. You decided for yourself and don't let this video spoil your plan to visit. Always check another video for a fair review. This part of the island is safe. Not sure what she means by the Uber drivers charging extra or more. That's a lie. If you choose to go. You won't be disappointed. After all. Your holiday is what you make it. If you go on holiday wanting to have a great time. You will. Most people don't have the opportunity to do that due to money or health issues. Don't cry over spilt milk is what I am saying. Life is too short.
Hey, thank you For your input everybody does have different opinions. This was ours and I do agree. It is a great time there but if you do go to night parties and need to get your own transportation, you do have to be careful with the taxi drivers up charging you because it does happen. I’ve heard from multiple people as well as Ubers surge surging because of the time, everybody has a different experience when they go so this was ours and I do encourage people to go and experience it for themselves and have a great time. I just want them to know what we experience so they can know what to expect and that’s the point of a review
Hi I have been an Uber driver and at certain times the prices do surge and in certain areas. But most of the time they don’t have Uber available in punta cana around the Riu party areas. I’m just advising people to be aware and careful. Safe travels!
I went there January 2024. I agree with Pacha smelling like mildew/mold. The bring area smelled like sewer. Also the sports bars food was always empty. Not happy that you had to pay to play pool. Being all inclusive I would think that activity would be included. The food in the buffets were good to me. But I’m gluten free so I was happy to see lots of fruits, veggie, & meat options. Drinks were delicious and I got drunk so must not be too watered down. They had a New Years party on the beach and it was so much fun. Room was nothing special, but we were only in it long enough to sleep. Most our time was spent by the pool bar. We did a free shopping excursion, a boating/snorkeling excursion, and we went to coco bongo. All were a lot of fun. We went with a huge group of friends though and we could have fun anywhere.
That’s awesome!! I’m glad you had a lot of fun. It’s always nice to take a group vacation there’s never a dull moment 🥰. The beach and excursions are amazing, I definitely agree!
They will have a surge in the area due to the demand and time but sometimes Uber won’t even find a driver in the area. Which leaves you with the local taxi drivers that will definitely up charge.
I like party hotels, but I am almost 60. I don;t want to feel so out of place, but at least I am very fit and look young for my age. Do you guys think I should try a different place, this looks like so much fun though!
Hey I would definitely give it a try it’s fun for all ages. We seen all ages there having fun. There are 2 sides also if you want your room in a more quieter atmosphere then go for the rooms that are further from the beach. Closer to the beach is more partying and noise all hours. Have fun and safe travels!
Hello, this is a warning for everybody. I made a reservation 4 months ago and it was supposed to enter the resort yesterday, but they didn’t let me in…… they didn’t say a single thing, not excuses, reasons or anything that could make sense to me. That was their issue cus even if I made the reservation 4 months ago I did the online check-in days before my arrival but they just let me there outside of the resort and it was raining but they just say “we are sorry” (btw I’ve been to this resort before and had a great time ) I didn’t expected that to happen. So if you’re going to this resort just be careful with that stuff cus if they want they can do to you what they did to me.
Oh no I’m sorry this happened to you that must of been frustrating . Were they eventually able to accommodate you? And did you book directly through RIU?
@@Fleektravels no, they just say “sorry” and left me outside and yes I booked through the app, I even have my membership, I also did the check online but they didn’t do a thing
The drinks in the room bar are a little better in our opinion and the food is a hit or miss or you can stack up on jerk chicken lol. But the atmosphere and people make it worth it!
Yes it does look like it’s a good option especially when it’s so crowded and you can get a bottle but my husband and I like to be around the crowd and walk around so it wasn’t worth it for us
Very nice. We are there next week. Great review.
Great to hear have Fun.

@@sharenee7428 thanks have fun too💪🏼
You didn’t mentioned where in the D.R. Is this resort located?
It’s in Punta Cana!!
Was the smell of mold effected the rooms aswell and did people get food poisoning?
Yes unfortunately it was in the room and we were with 3 couples who all had the same issue in their room. As far as the food at one point we all had slight stomach aches but nothing too serious. I would just make sure to stay away from the water and anything that might be made with unfiltered water. Safe travels!
Thanks for an awesome review.
I’m glad we were able to help! Safe travels ✈️
Can you go to the riu parties like the pool and neon but not stay at the resort?
Hi, unfortunately, you have to be staying at one of the RIUs to be able to attend the parties or you can get a day pass for around 100 a day if you know somebody staying there.

Great video! Thanks for the info! Which resort were the parties at?
Riu Bambu is where the Riu party is close to but they have shuttles from the other Riu resorts to take you there.
Does anyway know if it's this cool during the week? Or is it just on the weekend?
Hi, yes it’s still like this during the week! Everyday they have different activities. They also have pool parties on Monday jungle themed, Wednesday white themed, and Friday Pink party! 🎉

@Fleektravels As a Uber driver. They have zero control of charging extra.
Unless they go on a crazy long route to normal.

How can Uber drivers up charge you?
They will have a surge in the area due to the demand and time but sometimes Uber won’t even find a driver in the area. Which leaves you with the local taxi drivers that will definitely up charge.
I would speak to the hotel and a lot of the times they can arrange a driving service.
they do have food at the parties its hiding on the other side
Oh that’s nice to know! We walked around every where and only seen the snacks! Thanks for sharing!
Is smoking allowed on the resort?
Hey, yes smoking is allowed!
I like party hotels, but I am almost 60. I don;t want to feel so out of place, but at least I am very fit and look young for my age. Do you guys think I should try a different place, this looks like so much fun though!

Pool party looks fun but the smell of mold🤢🤮
Hopefully they can fix that problem.
