Area very strong of canadian short-stay tourists busy, the to celebrate and all inclusive until the last drop of the minibar savor. Unfortunately it is not organized this night owls of those separated to accommodate. An immediate complaint was only after 10 days, by moving in the quiet part the hotel, done. It was only a night's sleep to think. On complaints by much pressure received, what a lot of time and it was annoying. read more

Respect for risk room 116 avoid, black mold over the bed and the bettleuchte. Was only above gepinselt. A guest of the profession painter is, we realized. Trifels the whole two weeks not cleaned. Counter in the closet about 1 centimeter thick layer of dust. This is not a Riu hotel more, should be 2 stars to be taken. On the day of departure we had to at 12 noon the room leave and have no extension received, and the, where we only in the evening at 20 o'clock of the bus picked up. Allegedly written off everything. Should normally ... for a Riu hotel automatically be there. At night we to showers rooms get, and the first four rooms were totally dirty in the bathroom. Staff was kind. If you want a notebook has, for 90 minutes free daily log in. Connection only in the reception area. Need your internet explorer. Many canadians the very much noise have caused. Evening entertainment boring, neighboring hotel better. Food was good. Only the whole food was a bit carelessly prepared, especially the dessert. The eye eats as well known also. Beach clean, very many pool chairs were defect. Pool area was alright. Tip: if you have for this hotel decides, should necessarily for the return flight, if there is a red eye flight is, in the travel agency one night longer book, so that your room was to use can. The day to pick up long, and as already described, one got no extension. We will not Riu hotel book any more than. read more

The hotel in general was very nice. Beautiful palmengarten. As you the other hotels or area with use, it is always on the way. The rooms are big enough. Unfortunately, it was already. There was no hair dryer in the room. For some maybe not of importance, for me already. Hello? Five star! The beds we just had to austauchen leave! The were completely storied or moldy. Smell also. After the bettenwechsel was not any longer so much floor by the bed, but i wonder why i constantly small terribly itchy spot had! The was actually bed bugs. Great, i ... thought. So what must not be! Like other already wrote everything is very old. We really liked the food. Was always something delicious. The beach is also wonderful. Because of the very many palm trees there is always a get shade. Of course also here everything with some tip faster. Do nothing. There are mainly canadians in the hotel. They whole day with their mocks around and drink. Ok long speech short sinn'für us not once again. A shame, since the complex very nice is. read more

Overall the hotel is recommendable. The furniture has already gotten a bit old. The cleanliness in the hotel and the room was good. The food variety in the buffet restaurant could varied arranged, as it is every two days. But you will find everyday something delicious to eat. In the all in all were the employees concerned to fulfill every wish. The evening entertainment was to our taste very boring.
The travel guide of 1.2 fly & TUI locally has no very motivated impression leave. It was only on the sales of excursions carefully. Your comments on the trips ... were there however not the facts. Not recommendable the trip to the ' bacardinsel and the visit of the water fall el limon '. Completely overpriced and a pure mass processing! read more

Have to say, really am positively surprised. The people from the hotel were extremely friendly really great. Hotel was also very nice, old but nice. What i found it a shame the food what good in terms of taste but there was always the same. And the beach did not please me, because there are too many seaweed and too many leaves of palm trees. I would say that it really nice is in this hotel and also in this place. But who a dream holiday i would not recommend it. However as normal holiday it was enough perfectly. read more

It was a great vacation, you always remembers.
The beach was beautiful, however the sea was very busy, because often times violently rained.
Otherwise, we much experienced and many beautiful day trips.
Of course, there is also small faults here and there, but where so lots of people the entire year and leave
It is not enough. read more

Large hotel complex, with three individual area for free use. Well-kept, even if outdated area. The hotel Merengue village was only starting from 20 december available, what a room change during the stay meant.
Many families or groups, mainly english/french speaking. read more

We have also the RIU Merengue village in time and got at night after elfstündigem flight without information a envelope with keys into your hand pressed and were looking for alone and helpless not identifiable signs our accommodation in the big area.
The welcome on the next day we were not informed, that we in the fair main RIU Merengue garden were accommodated.
All guests, which the RIU Merengue village had, were without comment in the larger Merengue garden unit.
This hotel so cramped, that we on the day of departure, the by the travel agents offered extension of the ... room to 6 hours a '10 Dollar, was not possible.
So we all had to 12:00 a. m. to the pick-up at 20:00 o'clock in warm clothes on the complex persevere.
Offered from the reception for all a shower possibility in a room is at the end the big area. We chose to have it, us in the toilet to move.
Frazit in 10 years holiday in the cathedral. Republic worst service by the hotel management! There are much better hotel areas. read more

The allocation of 5 (five) stars can only under solid corruption takes place. In the restaurant conditions as in a cafeteria of a großbetriebes. Staples like rice, pasta, potatoes ( fries) i get any guest house. The offered meat if chicken from the oven-would have but also
Dog or rat can be. Indefinable. Desserts: jelly, semolina porridge, dry biscuits, plantains. All together in the hotel a chaotic atmosphere as at the fairground. / narrow beach, steeply shelving shore - absolutely unsuitable for children. Shops limited to numerous souvenir stores which anyway all the same offer. For christmas/ new year's eve ... were about 2000 (two thousand ) russians in the hotel. Foreign languages skills directly nothing.
Of course these reception arrogance as you worldwide finds. We remember us reluctant to this hotel and this vacation and would not for a steal times by accident. read more

I was for the 3. time in this hotel ( the first two times in the former Riu Mambo)... That speaks for itself.
. By delaying the flight i had the (dubious) pleasure, an extension night in Barcelo in Puerto Plata to spend. First afterwards i was clear, as motivated and committed the staff inside the Riu hotels are...
The grounds of the Riu hotels have already gotten a bit old, but constantly top maintained...
A return is very probably... read more

The bungalows and the garden were very nice and tidy.
The rooms big enough.
One noticed merely the bathroom, that it already somewhat older was. However in any case absolutely clean.
Somewhat a pity I think, that you have a 24 hours all inclusive bay and brzahlt, but the bars then in the private hotel at o'clock close.
There is however the possibility to the Riu next door to go.
Who here nothing to eat, this was not to help;-)
We found the offer mostly quite largely and also relatively well. read more

We all really enjoyed it. A negative point for us were the spätilitätenrestaurants. The steaks were totally bad. After a complaint the director we have a attempt, the unfortunately was not much better. But since the food in the restaurant for us delicious was, we always something delicious found. We would love to next year again return. It is simply relaxing and entertaining, as you from all 3 hotels can select. read more

We had hotel merenge village, but in the hotel merenge accommodated. The booked hotel is since 8 money closed. The food left in this house much to be desired, the staff were very friendly.
In the whole complex has the standard of a Riu hotels not achieved.
The chairs at the pool were very good, against at the beach 70% broken.
The service was good, more often were at the beach drinks serves.
The hotel was at this time only 40% full, therefore the food was not very good. read more
