    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    The adults-only Riu Republica Hotel’s cosied up to an ice-white beach, and boasts a bumper line-up of restaurants. It's got a fiesty side, too, with pool parties and lively bars.

    The Riu Republica’s still fresh from the wrapping, so you can expect super-smart interiors throughout. The restaurants feature mood lighting and arty lampshades, while the ocean-themed rooms are jazzed up with starfish and shell prints.

    This place is so close to the seafront, it’s practically got sand coming out of its ears. The pools play to a party tune, and there are plenty of bars that keep the drinks flowing.

    Great Beach and Hotel

    We stayed at the R.I.U from November 13 through the 17th and really loved this hotel. The food and bar service was great. We loved the water slides, but there was no bar open on that part of the property, so you couldn't even get a glass of water or something to drink. This was unfortunate, not sure if it was because it was a slow time of year or what. This beach was wonderful and you can always find a chair. I liked that you did not have to make reservations at the specialty restaurants. We ate at the steakhouse twice! Normally the steaks are not very good at most all inclusive hotels. The rib eye steaks were great at this hotel! My husband wore pants to the specialty restaurants, but plenty of men wore shorts and they did not enforce this "rule". The entertainment was not very good.I expected much better shows from a R.I.U.The Neon Party was a lot of fun and I would definitely recommend going to that. The beach bar was really quick with drink service and the jerk chicken stand was really tasty! We went to the off site R.I.U. pool party, but it was really geared towards the younger crowd (20 to 30 year old's). Overall we were happy with this property during the month of November. We would go back in the future!
    Avoid this place!

    Just got back from visiting December 4-11 and this is the first review I’ve ever written before because I want to highly suggest not going here! Although the hotel grounds were nice, well kept and the beach was nice, these are the things that were the worst. The service especially at the buffet was awful. You would ask for a water or pop and they would give you a champagne or beer, never brought what you wanted but what they just wanted to give you. Most of the staff just spent the time socializing with each other and not taking care of the tables. The bar staff however at the lobby bar and pool bar were attentive. Also note that there is no beach bar, just the main pool bar. The selection at the buffet was the same everyday and the al la cartes were buffet also except for the steak house. You have to look at the days that they are open because they aren’t always open. The food was awful. By the end of the trip I was so sick from the food and drink I could barely leave my room. Also the water at the sinks and showers in the rooms has a bleach smell to it and that’s the same water they use to “wash” there plastic cups that are used at all areas on the resort. Every drink you get ends up tasting and smelling like it. All in all, not a five star. Would not recommend going there.
    Just OK

    Positive Points- Friendly attentive staff, beautiful beach and good choice of pools Negative Points- Rooms are very basic, minibar is not restocked every 2nd day without you requesting, food in restaurants is ok quality, nothing special (avoid the Indian restaurant as we were both ill after eating in it) The location, is a row of hotels set on a stretch of beach, there are no independent restaurants or bars in the area, so if you like to escape the hotel complex, this resort is not for you. The alcohol choice is restrictive, many of which are low alcohol and cheap alternatives of the real thing. Not what you expect in a 5 star hotel. It also needs redecorated, it felt dated and lacked luxury which customers expect when booking 5 star. Overall we felt disappointed
