Riu Republica

DO NOT STAY HERE ! Rooms are filthy - limited food - very young- fights at pool- cockroaches in the draws- broken AC- all the rooms smell like mold. I could keep going in. We were 10 people who booked through JetBlue vacations with the help of an agent booking this we all had terrible experiences!

We stayed here for 2 weeks in November 25, we had the best 2 weeks. I was so skeptical upon reading reviews online and what people say, but it really wasn't that bad. The holiday is what you make it. There is so much to do at this resort, so many pools to pick from, the beach is an added bonus. It's beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay here. The food was great, always something to find to eat. We never suffered with any illness or gut issues. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Our only issue was when we slept with the air con on before the end of our holiday we got really really poorly for weeks after the holiday with flu like symptoms and ended up with chest infections, so I would advise not to sleep with the air con on. Other than that it didnt ruin our holiday and we really enjoyed our stay. We would probably return.

I had the misfortune of also being on a trip from December 1 to December 8, 2025. Three members of our party witnessed domestic abuse which was reported to RIU many time while staying there. We called front office a few times during the domestic abuse situation and the front desk refused to send security to investigate. We had to physically go to the front desk at around 3 a.m. in the morning to complain. Security once again did nothing. It was only until we threatened to call the police that RIU Republica sent the security team to visit the wrong room disturbing the other occupant of the room which we had. The security team asked if there was a domestic abuse situation occurring, for which the other member of our party confirmed. They security team did not investigate any further as the domestic abuse continued for many more days through out or vacation. RIU Republica will claim that these events were never reported and will boldly lie to anyone that these events were never reported and that gusest security takes top priority. This is a bold-faced lie.

Amazing experience , this is the second time when we went to Riu Republica and was an incredible 2 weeks stay. The room service was excellent, a big thank you to the lady who cleaned almost every day our room. The food was great, loads of restaurants, the entertainment in Riu Republica is the best. We were in loads of resorts all over the world but so far, Riu Republica is the best overall. I would recommend, this is a must do experience!

Horrible service all the way around. Room was hot and damp, rooms do not come with wash cloths, no room service, quality of food was baaad. If you can swing it, pay the extra and go to a better resort. This was our first and last time
