I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone.

There is pretty much everything in this hotel, especially as you can use any of the facilities in any of the three Riu hotels in the complex. The beach isn't very long or deep as you can see in the pictures but it is bueatiful and there is plenty of sun - and sun loungers... read more

Just came back yesterday from this resort and had a great time. I previously read many reviews and found most to be very positive, but a few negative. I was a little concerned, but once we got there was very impressed.

The staff were all very friendly, helpful and pleasant... read more

Stayed at this fab hotel exceptionally clean. Animation team brilliant excellent entertainment every night, staff very friendly. Monster truck safari brilliant take; soaps, shower gels, books, pencils and paper for the kids they are very grateful.

Saona island trip brilliant, very long day and not good for people with walking difficulties as there is quite a bit of walking especially down 300 steps to river to get steam boat, then speed boat very good and very fast, guides are excellent and want everyone to have a good time so they fill you full of rum... read more

I have just returned from a last minute holiday at the Riu Bachata and what can I say... FANTASIC.

Everything about this hotel is excellent I would recommend this hotel to anyone. All I can say is that I will be booking again for next year.

The food has an excellent selection with something for everyone... read more

We went to the Dominican for our honeymoon & thoroughly enjoyed it. The hotel was spot on. Very clean, very friendly.

Food there was loads of it & I would say if you couldn’t find something you liked & lots of it then there is something wrong with you! Drinks were all included not just the local stuff, although you did have to ask for the branded names if that’s what you wanted... read more

Not suitable for ages 13-16 as there is very little to do, it’s either water sports on the beach or watching the shows in the evening.

The entertainers were called the Animation Team who worked very hard for pennies however, do not tip too much or you may be hassled a lot for tips etc... read more

Having stayed at Bachata 2 years ago ( and the two palaces in Punta Cana last year), I looked forward to returning. This is a great resort midweek, but terrible at weekends as the locals are allowed in. Long queues appear in the restaurants and the locusts just barge in and clear the selectons... read more

If all you want to do is chill out on a beach for two weeks then this perfect for you. This was my second visit to the Riu Bachata and I loved it just as much the second time as I had the previous year.

It really is the friendliest place on earth... read more

My partner took to the Riu Bachata for a surprise for my 40th Birthday and I have only good things to say about the hotel.

The location was right on the beach and the facilities where excellent both around the pool area and on the beach, towels were provided everyday and the rooms were lovely and big, with maid service daily and a fantastic mini bar including optics that were refilled every day... read more

I visited this hotel in March 2004 and was one of the unfortunate guests to have come down with the stomach bug going round.

I spent 4 days in bed, hence why I was a little apprehensive when my mother booked this hotel again for her, my sister, 5 year old nephew and me... read more

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 invisible... read more

Best Holiday we have ever had. Food was brilliant. Something for everyone. Room was very clean, bar was checked and refilled virtually every day. Service at the bar was second to none. We tipped the barman on the first night and he made sure our glass was full at all times... read more

We went to the hotel Riu Bachata for 14 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute, me the wife and 2 kids aged 9 and 7.

The food was superb, the entertainers from animation were fantastic and they are really friendly and they have probably swayed our holiday next year to the same hotel... read more

Excellent hotel, very friendly staff.

Food was excellent - with a good range everyday and "themed" foods on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The entertainment team were full of energy and very good at their jobs.

There were drinks dispensers (rum, vodka, whiskey and gin) in each room with a fridge for mixers and plenty of clean drinking water provided... read more

Riu Bachata was the most amazing hotel I have ever stayed in. It definitely deserved the 5 stars.

After an 8 and half hour flight and coach journey it was lovely to arrive at the hotel and be handed a cocktail.

Staff then gave you your room and key and a map of the complex... read more
