After reading some poor reviews before visiting this hotel I was very worried that we had saved our hard earned money for nothing, I was proven very wrong thankfully. Our group consisted of My husband and I in a room and our two children aged 14 and 10 with my sister in another room. The rooms are very spacious and... more

You do get your towells a bit later than the room is cleaned, and if you can reuse your towells, hang... more

We arrived at the Riu Bachata on September 19, 2008. The resort is about 1 hour from the airport, which is fairly long, but it was well worth the drive. We were checked in promptly and when we entered our room we noticed how clean everything was. We were steps away from the main bar, casino and theatre. The scenery... more
