Riu Taino is not a bad place to stay, but here's a few tips before u go.Beware of the rocks in the water. I had no clue how many rocks are there and i hurt my knee very badly, later i saw ppl with the same scratches on their body from the rocks. Walk a little up or down the beach - you'd be able to enjoy swimming without trauma. Learn to get up early!! if u want to reserve a nice place next to pool or beach get up before 7am. not very convinient when u on vacation. There are not enough shades, so ppl always looking how to find a better place to sit. Before booking and planning your vacation make sure your chosen time is not during rain season. you'll not enjoy staying their during rainy days - absolutely nothing to do, except watching tv and dining. shows are boring, and music just terrible - everyday there was the same records over and over again, very annoing. Make sure to take enough of sunscreen and after-sun lotion. My husband and i got terrible sunburn despite sunscreen, had to go to a local shop and buy after sun lotion for like $ a small bottle. little overpriced. If u stilll decide to go here, make sure to learn some spanish, because only a few staff members know english good enough to communicate. be sure to put your stuff in safe box. we found our room invaded by somebody couple times, and once we discover a bottle of pepci broken into small pieces of glass in our suitecase - it was just awful!! i had no clue who could that be. next time we found the door wide open and nobody was there.

My husband and I went here after staying a few nights a Barcelo Punta Cana (very nice - same price), and our RCI Resort - Occidental Grand Flamenco (Superb). We were disgusted with the pool it smelled like beer, we couldn't swim up to the bar, all of the teenagers took over the bar from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. Our room was okay, but would definately upgrade if I were you if you care to stay here. All of the guests were from Germany, France, Netherlands, Holland, and Cuba. Nobody spoke english. We found 1 couple after 5 days who spoke english from the US. The staff doesn't try to accommodate us not speaking spanish and disregards what we say or ask. The shows were horrible. They are all want-to-be stars and have a long way to go until they get it together. The bars are smokey, the restaurants are smokey, they had just a few restaurants we could go to. The steakhouse was the best. The Mexican was authentic, but too much for my stomach. The Italian wasn't really Italian??? Our room was next to the bottling room where they changed the refrigerators every day and all we could here was clinking of bottles and NO sleep. If you stay at Rui, upgrate to the Palace. We walked over there and snuck in. Naimbio was horrible too. It was just a place for teenage buddies to go and party for cheap for the weekend. Body Piercings, drugs sales, weird colored hair, tatoos galore. It was a DIVE. My husband and I wished now we stayed at Riu Palace and paid the extra $65 per night. It would have been worth it . . . or stay at a different resort. The staff didn't speak english.

A friend and I spent 5 days at Riu Taino in Punta Cana. It was everything I had read about. The resort was truly all-inclusive, no hidden charges. And we had so much fun! If you like activities, there are many things to do, or you can just lay on the beach or by the pool all day. Eat and drink as much as you like, and great water aerobics to work it off. We felt totally safe, and only made one excursion off the resort to go diving. It was a good day, but very expensive. This is a great place for families with children, for couples, and for singles. Very European, so skimpy bathing suits are the rule. The staff were friendly and helpful, food was good, and I just loved the multi-cultural feel of the place.

The service, the beaches, the access to the other hotels on the resort property were all fantastic. The food and beverage were moderate-good and the Taino seemed to be the oldest of the Riu Hotels. The value and beautiful beaches made it more than worth it.
