Food and drink left nothing to be desired.
The staff was very friendly. Very many canadians!
The karabische road is beautifully made, however also not exactly cheap, shopping is in puerta plata cheaper.
The room is spacious and has a balcony! read more

The hotel is mainly from canadian and some american guests visited, the partly very loudly are... - sadly at night as well. The animations in the pool area are pushy and very loud-nothing, if you on vacation rather're looking for peace and relaxation.
The hygiene is absolutely commendable.
The food was borderline, hardly fruit, unsightly salads, tough meat and not durchgebratener fish. Oh so-and at least 3 times per week there was no lemons/limes for fish, water, cocktails... read more

The hotel complex consists of 3 hotels: the Riu village, Riu Merenque and the RIU Bachata. The merenque is located in the middle. But it could, with the exception of dinner; all units. The complex was already a bit old but our room was renovated and in good condition. Only the old crt needs revamp. The cleanliness in the room and in the entire hotel is excellent. It was clean everywhere and raked. The standtoiletten were always clean. Great was, that in the area of the lobby every day per device 90 minutes a free wireless internet access was. Not ... very fast but at least. As the time share could, one comes also really good doing. During our stay from the 12 march until 12.4. were in the first 3 weeks to 70% russians in the hotel. The 2. large proportion were canadians. There were very few german and a few scandinavian guests. The russians are not unpleasantly noticeable. read more

There were beautiful 2 weeks in RIU Merengue. The outdated hotel. Because of the size of the hotel was naturally cafeteria atmosphere in the main restaurant. 5* category was somewhat exaggerated.
Price-performance ratio was okay. We would like to come again.
Excursions offered by the tour operators were a bit too expensive, that is why we have 4 trips with a providers on the site. Simply from home we contact, then the Andreas from http://www. Through www. extratours-sosua. De/with us in the hotel reported and we all agreed.
Were great desk, no mass tourism. All in small (up to ... 8 people) groups. read more

All told we were with the vacation satisfied. However have we not, again to this hotel to come. There is a lot of alcohol consumed. As all inclusive-guest we had the feeling, we are paying for the other with, as we only a little wine (not very good) or beer lemonade drink. For those, those gladly cocktails, rum, Wodka and so on drink, must the hotel a paradise.
The hotel is beautiful. The beach clean and tidy.
Unfortunately we had 4 weeks 2 weeks rain; but that is in the rainy season probably always sunday If we go to the ... cathedral. Republic of flying into, then to Punta Cana or samana. read more

RIU Merengue goes Russia

Exactly one year we once vacation in RIU Merengue and spent a outstandingly beautiful vacation. To us not at all understand this enormous change.
For 2012 expectation renovation did not take place- families from Europa and Canada now extremely many hard-drinking russians and loud partygoers.
One of the Riu usual good food regards - an only letdown! In the last year we were knocked out by from the variety and variety and the very high quality of the dishes. Now there are always the same-even if packaged under changing bezeichnungem. Of quality no more talk-often totally not enjoyable - fish ... and other animals are too often died, and much too dead cooked - the meat was actually always tough and partially. Even disgusting. With the usual high Riu-standard the everything unfortunately nothing more to do.
Only saving grace is the bar, and that is important for all the disappointments, the sword has.
Due to health reasons before the beginning the journey from travel agency and even expressed wishes about the location of the room and equipment with fixed mattresses were completely ignored. There were times when Riu, where the of course was.
The housekeeping gave it despite regular tip not even the minimalleistungen, like shampoo or washcloth, the from the hotel made available are. At the front desk requested and was totally ignored.
The entertainment - also here there was a total change and a hinwenden to party guest to., best example is the new 2. head of the crew-a man, as 'normal' guest simply not in this position. Except shout and cheer the partygoers he was probably no other skills, which at its least 3 hundredweights live weight also hardly possible opportunity. The other entertainers had to pay daily everything to give, but it was obviously clear and didn't the guests welcome, as it used to. Unfortunately, that kiko way, what so great! And why bamboo not its job? The is probably still some, the right in his job rises, without even permanently drunk to be, as some other entertainers. They had indeed their firm trinkposten in the guests. The largest no-go but we have with the boss chicky monkey (what a name for a man of his age and state?) Experienced:
To the question, if you don't speaker sounds a very small little shutdown can, so that a weinigstens bearable volume of the evening entertainment is achieved was literally answered with ' if you the too loud is, is into another hotel'. So well, we will certainly do!
Altogether we had the impression, you build no more quiet guests, the a nice beach vacation and besides also good eating and drinking - rather you take now the guests from the east or the pure patyvolk. This people no expectations at facilities and quality and figures good.
This guests the hotel we can fully recommend, all other unfortunately not.
Those, the after us go there, but should rather mainly dark clothes for the evening bring your own, because the furniture is not only broken, but also partly very dirty.
Another tip: a tool against bed bugs and similar animals go! On the 2. day we had-so we thought-every about 200 new bites, despite using autan (also against tropical insects). Only some time later we were stuck, that the cause no mosquitos were, but just bed bugs, the inadequate cleaning nestle. The typical characteristics we saw then also with many other vacations.
A final opinion to one of the last previous reviews: we were there from 8 january until 5 february in the hotel. The result we should at least 1 rainy week abbekommen to have. We can't confirm - altogether there was just 2 rainy day. read more

In the resort 3 Riu hotels we were, in the RIU Merengue, and it was located in the middle. On the left of the RIU Bachata and right on the RIU Merengue village (ex Mambo). In these 3 hotels, you could the all-inclusive always use everything, restaurants, bars, pool and beach. Only the dinner in the booked hotel,. The bungalow is located in a tropical garden. read more

This hotel you can not recommend to anyone!
The first room smelled, strongly after rot and damp. We immediately complained. The statement domini from the reception was 'top'. Verbatim' make fast, i need the room for the other guests'.
The 2. room was so dirty, simply disgusting! In bed were stains and hair, in the bathroom there was mold, the clock radio had dirt, that telephone you could not touch.
At the buffet it doesn't look better. From vegetables carved figures were already withered or moldy, the food in general, you could not enjoy. I rinderfliet in pepper sauce ... try, the meat was so tough, i could spit. Our neighbors ring around it was as it was probably not better. When we on the next day checked out, there were 5 people at the front desk, the room complained about it. read more

We were already the 2 time in this hotel and we will by all means come again. Unfortunately, it was over christmas/new year's eve almost too full.
Even when the hotel is already a little bit older it has a wonderful green garden, the staff always smiling and it was constantly kept clean.
Our tip: book your excursions with dani-marysol tours we have already the 2'. And there is nothing better (believes it, we have this vacation also someplace else a tour and it was a letdown and not worth the money) dani has great tours if it the Dominican ... Republic yet does not know and if you already know, you can simply say what you wanted to see and it works very efficiently and simply. Pietro the dominican rep who speaks german well is great you learn everything you need to know and more. read more

We had 2 great weeks in the Riu that only what really went on the nerves were grumbling guests, one must nevertheless be surprised what requirements degrees in the puncto meal some have. If you want like at home should in future there spend a holiday or at least his time on vacation not use them to profelieren in which one everything put. In terms of excursions we could the team of extra tours warmly recommend. We have 3 excursions with Andreas and its crew and were really thrilled http://www. Through www. extratours-sosua.

I can the worst reviews of the hotel not understand. We found standard, courtesy of the staff etc. Really good. You get this trip for around 1400 €-here, it is the flight alone almost 1000 Euro. What do you expect for 400 €, whereas the company also a piece of from the cakes will. We were very satisfied.
The hotel is split in RIU Merengue village, RIU Merengue and RIU Bachata. The RIU Merengue village is currently closed and apparently on 20 december reopen. However, i have to say here, if this hotel again was open and the other two ... hotels fully would be, then it is clearly too full in relation to beach and pool. Beginning december was the village still closed and the other not really fully booked, thus at the beach always enough beach chairs available, and we were by the pool from the village (this has open) almost alone or just at the beach.
The rooms are although not the newest, but clean and you don't find it disgusting. The whole hotel is always gardeners and cleaning staff alright kept.
Free wi-fi in the lobby, but you can expect miracles, for my mails and short wetterabfragen but definitely enough. read more

From a Riu hotel i expected more, the leisure activities are on beach and pool limited the offered sports possibilities corresponded to the claim in 2012, but are rather the 80 years. The staff are very nice and hard-working the flaws of the kitchen and the entire hotel, but not equal. The hotel is mostly english tourists and so enormous quantities of pasta, rice and fries convoluted. So if you like only the thick sattmacher eat comes here fully at its expense. Otherwise is the kitchen a catastrophe. My wife and i with a good constitution is sick and could ... finally a few pounds decrease. We can about this hotel only advise against read more
