I traveled to this destination with my girl friend in April 2011. The resort was beautiful with a lot of gothic/timber architecture. The grounds were well maintained, and the lobby staff was nice, and got us to our rooms quick. This resort consists of access to all the other Riu’s included in this compound. I was sad to hear that... More

The hotel is located in a pretty garden near a very nice beach. The building itself is asking for a serious refurbishment. There are many walls with peeling paint and it makes it look slightly dingy. The restaurant menu is fine, but gets monotonous after a while. There is some entertainment provided by the hotel but it’s nothing out of... More

Beautiful location and the beach is breathtaking. Not a lot to do at the resort. If you walk far down the beach though locals have market .Shacks set up to barter and buy unique local crafts. Our beds however had bed bugs and the rooms we're very tiny. :(

The food was very good. The drinks were great. The service was slow but very polite and enjoyable. The grounds were beautiful. Everyone on this trip was very polite from the gardener to the front desk to maintainence. I would go back to any Riu hotel. The room was very clean. It was a great experience.

We stayed at the Riu Taino for an annual girls trip and loved every minute of it. The property is great because it is part of several other Riu resorts. You have the ability to go to the other resorts. There are lots of shops within the property as well as a disco and small (I mean very small) casino... More

Mini bar in the room had rum, rye and vodka although I didn't drink much in the room it was there if one so desired. Finding ones way to the room... More

I was at Riu Palace Macao the last week of August, 2010 and went over to Riu Taino. The Riu Taino building is being demolished and in its place Riu is going to build a Riu Palace. Construction just started so is going to take a while. The Taino area has been completely fenced.

My sister and I stayed here from June 12 to 19, 2010. It was a great experience having been our first 'resort' trip in years. The rooms are a bit outdated compared to 'contemporary' designs found at other resorts but still enjoyable. Really how much time do you spend in the room anyway. We did however change our room once... More

Please do not read bad reviews. For all those writing horrible reviews, please do yourself a favour and go to a 5 star resort in Spain or France, or even Florida if you are willing to spend a lot of $$$$$. To make it short, you get what you pay for and more. The resort old and the rooms are... More
