This was a very disappointing holiday and I would advise people NOT to book the Rui Bachata.

Our room was spacious and clean but the swimming pools were dirty, the beach towels insufficiently washed and the bar staff rude.

Give this a miss. It's a holiday camp dressed up as a 5 star hotel.

The food is mediocre, wine terrible. It's overcrowded, not enough sunbeds, and there's very little service other than the restaurants. Staff are good, management are... read more
