Our recent stay at RIU Republica in the Dominica Republic was extremely disappointing. My wife and I chose this hotel for our 5-day honeymoon, but unfortunately, we only lasted for 2 days due to the numerous issues we encountered.
First and foremost, the quality of the food and drinks was abysmal. Despite being advertised as an all-inclusive resort, the variety and taste of the meals left much to be desired. The options were limited, and the food often lacked flavor and freshness. Additionally, the drinks were poorly made and tasted watered down.
Furthermore, the condition of the rooms was unacceptable. They were run down and in dire need of renovation. The furnishings were old and worn out, and there were visible signs of neglect throughout the property. It was evident that maintenance was lacking, and the overall cleanliness was subpar.
Overall, our experience at RIU Republica fell far short of our expectations for a honeymoon getaway. We were so dissatisfied with the quality of our stay that we decided to cut our trip short and leave after only two days. We strongly advise against choosing this hotel for any special occasion or vacation.
