"Overall, my girlfriend & i had a really good experience at the Riu Republica. Food was pretty good from breakfast to dinner. Our drink of choice at the swim up was a caipirinha (rum,lime,mint, & sugar cane over ice). The resort is known for its party & live entertainment personality, which they owe us nothing for, BUT keep this in mind when choosing your room. While the party scene is smack in the middle of the resort where everything is located & very close to the beach, if you're looking for some sense of tranquility, you might want a room at the other end of the resort, away from everything pretty much. The jerk chicken station lived up to the hype in all of the reviews we read & the buffet staff were very friendly & helpful throughout our stay. The main swim up bar pool (closest to the buffet) is where the action is. Great music, good vibes & waiters continuously at your service while the staff interaction will keep you very entertained as well. I would certainly recommend this resort to anyone who is looking for a good, inexpensive, party themed introduction to the Dominican Republic like ourselves! Cheers!"

"Buen servicio al cliente y los cuarto amplios y muy bien cuidados. La parte no tan buena es que desde de las 10PM ya no había nada de comer en el hotel excepto por servicio a la habitación."

"Amazing hotel "

"Everything was great, just skip the sales pitch they try to give you when you first arrive"

"I have stayed in Punta Cana twice before, but this was by far the best resort experience, especially because of the incredible service from the staff. Everybody was positive and glad to help. A special thank you to Hector at the front desk, who helped with the room and made sure I received a quiet room. I also want to recognize Vivian and Raquel for going above and beyond with my food allergies and helping arrange special meals during the stay. Their care and attention made such a difference. Santiago was also extremely helpful and careful whenever delivering room service food. The coffee shop was amazing and so cute, and Yordania always provided excellent service with such a positive attitude every day. At the Kitchen Table Buffet, Santa always made sure I had everything, and was so attentive whenever I walked in to get food. The beach is definitely windy and has surf, but honestly it ended up being not a problem. I spent time there every day from around 9am until 4pm, and the breeze kept the weather comfortable so I never felt overheated, unlike other resorts where after 1 hour I wanted to go inside. The overall resort is not large, which made it easy to walk and explore. The gym is fantastic and has TechoGym equipment. The wildlife is also unique with parrots and small birds- definitely check out the Eco Park walk. Overall, this was such a peaceful and relaxing vacation, and the outstanding staff made it unforgettable."
