Riu Republica

Only the worst bites are showing in the pictures attached. There are many many more the camera didn’t capture. Every night more appear, almost all below the knee and we have seen dozens of other guests walking around with the same issue. We are on our fourth room, had one sprayed for bugs. The itching is unbearable and nothing helps for long. Impossible to sleep for an entire week. Also, in one room whenever we showered the floor filled with tiny worms. Nothing can really save this one start review but if you were lucky enough to get a room not infested the excursions were good, the staff is friendly and the buffets are really good. The restaurants have all been good, although hours are very limited, with each being between a 6 and 9 out of ten except for American Country which I can only assume is less a restaurant and more a subtle insult to America. Well played RIU.

asked for a quiet room and we got it. The only thing that wasn't so good was the musty smell we encountered upon entereing the room. The breakfast buffet was amazing as well as the jerk chicken stand. Lunch buffet was great. Dinners weren't so great. Italian restaurant was terrible. Steakhouse, Spanish reastaurants were just ok. Beach was beautiful. Pools were clean, staff excellent all around.

My wife and I went there for seven days and really enjoyed ourselves. The hotel and amenities were in great shape. There was lots to do and a really upbeat vibe. The only downside it might’ve been the food as the choices were somewhat limited and the à la carte steak restaurant was difficult to reserve.

It was a great experience!It is a beautiful vacation spot…It was a good experience! The bathroom needs a bit a renovation.The kettle in the room was broken.Inside the elevators had an unpleasant odor!Room was cleaned everyday…that made up for everything that was not prefect.The experience was wonderful.Friendly workers,okay food.Apart from the few hiccups it’s a beautiful vacation spot and a great hotel.Love the different restaurants although the steak house by the buffet had an unpleasant odor the other restaurants were great.I am going back soon!

RIU Republica is great for an affordable fun time. Getting access to RIU Parties at this price makes it worth the stay, but understand the rooms are old and outdated. If your fine with that - This is your spot.
