Just returned from Punta Cana and stayed at Riu Taino. In the Riu web site thay claim to be a 5 star hotel. But it seems to be a 2 week hotel. The staff and service there was very rude and the kids club was always closed. We had asked for a glass of water and the waitress claims that... more

Booked through orbitz. After 1 day prices dropped 100 dollars then went up to 1200 dollars then back down....It is like the stock market. Pre-arranged ground transportation round-trip but don't count on the trip back, it is near impossible to arrange the trip back but Ok. Since I was all the time at the beach/eating/pool/disco who has time to arrange... more

My husband and I, who are both in our early 30's just returned from 5 days at the Riu Taino. We had a lovely time. We booked the trip through Sears Travel Canada. Just to echo everyone else...it is an older resort and the rooms are a bit run down, but you spend so little time in them it doesn't... more

We're a 26 year old couple from Toronto, Canada, though originally from Europe. That is why we really enjoyed the fact that most of the tourists at the Taino are Europeans, who in our opinion tend to control their children better than Americans, so even though there were lots of small children at the resort, they were all pretty quiet... more

We had such a great time. First thing - I asked for a room near the beach - and while none were available when we arrived, the next morning we were given a 2nd story room as close to the beach as you can get! It was superb! We are not your typical vacationers, I think, in that we enjoy... more

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Riu Taino from May 24-29th, 2008. We had a great time, and would certainly go back to the Taino. We aren't very picky, just give us a beach and some sun and we will have a great time; and that's exactly what the Taino offers. Beach/Pools: We absolutely loved the beach and pools.... more

I stayed at the Riu Taino from May 21-26, 2008 on the recommendation of friends, and here are the pros and cons: Pros: Beautiful beaches; efficient service; clean rooms; Bavarro Runners has great, fun excursions; the hotel has many activities that kept my husband occupied while I laid out; the spa had nice massages (could have been a bit better);... more

We stayed at the RIU Taino from May 3-May 9 2008 for our five year anniversary. We had a great time because we are easy to please, but we will not return to a RIU again. This is a good hotel for the $$ we spent, but there were some problems. The good: The beach was beautiful. If you walk... more

Myself, my fiance, and another couple decided to take a trip to the D.R, and since this was in our price range, we decided to go to the Riu Taino. It was our first trip ever, so we had no clue what to expect. Before I start let me just say that I now know that I need to do... more
