We had such a great time. First thing - I asked for a room near the beach - and while none were available when we arrived, the next morning we were given a 2nd story room as close to the beach as you can get! It was superb! We are not your typical vacationers, I think, in that we enjoy... more

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Riu Taino from May 24-29th, 2008. We had a great time, and would certainly go back to the Taino. We aren't very picky, just give us a beach and some sun and we will have a great time; and that's exactly what the Taino offers. Beach/Pools: We absolutely loved the beach and pools.... more

I stayed at the Riu Taino from May 21-26, 2008 on the recommendation of friends, and here are the pros and cons: Pros: Beautiful beaches; efficient service; clean rooms; Bavarro Runners has great, fun excursions; the hotel has many activities that kept my husband occupied while I laid out; the spa had nice massages (could have been a bit better);... more

We stayed at the RIU Taino from May 3-May 9 2008 for our five year anniversary. We had a great time because we are easy to please, but we will not return to a RIU again. This is a good hotel for the $$ we spent, but there were some problems. The good: The beach was beautiful. If you walk... more

Myself, my fiance, and another couple decided to take a trip to the D.R, and since this was in our price range, we decided to go to the Riu Taino. It was our first trip ever, so we had no clue what to expect. Before I start let me just say that I now know that I need to do... more

My wife, 8 month old daughter and I stayed at the Riu Taino March 5-12, 2008. We booked through Sunquest Vacations departing from Toronto, Ontario. The flight down was fine, but don't expect legroom on Skyservice. The places are pretty old too. Coming home, our return flight was fully 5 hours late and we missed our connection in Toronto. Upon... more

We just returned from our first trip to Punta Cana. We have nothing to compare the Taino to but we have nothing but good things to say about it. We arrived at 4 a.m. Check in took all of five minutes and within another five minutes of arrving in our room, our baggage was delivered. We were very pleased with... more
