Very nice hotel I've been 6 times in ... last time was in 2010 and it was still great ... very good and friendly service ... good food .... nice rooms ... all in all nothing to complain about ..... except, but that may have changed by now, that the wireless internet access in the Lobby is dismal

When we booked this holiday we knew the price was not going to get us a luxury carribean holiday and having read previous reviews we knew there were some issues. The food is repetitive and basic but you won't starve. The bar staff are not as attentive as they could be. The anninmation team are funny but cannot lip sync... More

Just got back today from 2 weeks at this hotel. I had read previous reviews from last year which all seemed negative. I've got to say its one of the loveliest places I've been too.

We also returned from Riu Bachata on May 13th, we cannot add anything to the previous reviews. Had a fab holiday, all the staff went out of their way to speak to us. The animation team work so hard and are always cheerful. The housekeeping staff are continually cleaning, everywhere was spotless. The only niggle was the Local Invasion on... More

This hotel/ complex was beautiful with staff very helpful and the views stunning. The complex is situated on the beach and is fenced in to keep the locals out. This is a must have holiday for everyone. Roasting hot weather and the beach is amazing. You must take the trip to paradise island - it's amazing!!!

First visit to the DR and it lived up to all expectations. The hotel excelled in everything , location , food and drink. The hotel is situated on the beach giving guests the opportunity to use the pool or the beach. The beach stretches, enabling nice walks along it , stopping at the beach bar huts for a little drink.... More

We also returned from the Riu Bachata on 13th May. Without a shadow of doubt this hotel is the best we have ever stayed in. They cater for all age ranges, if you want the activities around the pool ( competitions and games ) all well and good. If not venture a few yards down to the beach where you... More

Just returned from a two week holiday at the Bachata,our third stay in as many years,so we must like something about it.The place still has a lovely laid back atmosphere,the management and staff are faultless and the resort is kept in a pristine condition. The invasion of the locals at the weekend is still a shock to the system but... More
