Room was dirty, “elite” staff failed to provide elite service, I was supposed up receive a resort credit as an offer with my booking, they refused to honor it, swim up was extremely cold and got zero sun. Icing on the cake, my diamond pendant went missing and they have yet to answer for that

The first day we arrived and checked in, there was no welcome mocktail or wet towel like at other resorts we’ve been to. Check-in was smooth, but the front desk agent forgot to give us our bracelets. We also let them know it was our anniversary and birthday celebration. They said they would do something special for our room, but that never happened. The bellboy helped us with our luggage, and we went to our room. Once we got settled, my husband kept complaining about the smell of the sheets and pillows. I didn’t notice anything at first because I hadn’t laid on the bed like he did. However, that night I couldn’t sleep because there was definitely a wet, mildew smell coming from the sheets, and it was very strong on the pillows. The following day, we asked to change rooms for two reasons: the smell and the fact that there was no elevator in our building. They told us there are only two buildings with elevators. Keep in mind, most of the buildings have three or four flights of stairs. We were on the highest floor in our first room. We moved to a second room in one of the buildings with an elevator, but we had the same issues. After a day, the sheets felt moist again. We came to the conclusion that it was likely due to the ventilation or air conditioning in the rooms. At that point, it didn’t seem to matter which room we were in. As for the food/drinks—honestly, it was not good. I could go on, but there’s a limit to how much you can write in a review on here.

Everything stood out! Resort staff were amazing from the restaurants to the pool staff, to the agent from Expedia! The second time we went to the Spa, one of the ladies was rude, so we left. But i refuse to let her character change the rating for everyone else. I would def come back

The overall experience was great. The staff were so kind, friendly, and helpful. There were great dining options. The daily entertainment was energetic from the pools to the stage.The beach was beautiful and the sand so soft. I would highly recommend.

I rarely write bad reviews. I want to start with the communication between expedia and Riu. When my son got injured and we have to cancel his stay, I contact expedia right away. The airline was able to refund me right away. For Riu, initially I contacted Expedia and explained the situation that my son couldn't make it to the trip but we still would like to stay at the same hotel, but since it's an all-inclusive resort I was hoping they can modify my booking and get some refund. Expedia got back to me a day later saying no response from the Riu and suggested me to just cancel the book. It was only 2 weeks away from my vacation and most resorts are full. I chose not to cancel. Instead I send the Riu hotel couple emails and hope someone can get back to me. No response... ok, finally we check-ined to the hotel and I still wanted to talk to someone about the booking. The staff helped me was a young men you can tell he just started his job not long ago but he was willing to call his supervisor. The supervisor was right behind the desk. He explained it to his supervisor and came back asked me to wait. I finally got to talk to his supervisor and repeated my situation. I got a very blunt reply since I book my stay thru Expedia I have to go through Expedia. I was like, but I wrote you guys emails. He replied, we wouldn't reply your emails because you booked it from Expedia. I was in shock, this is properly the worst customer service I have ever received from a HOTEL. cleaness, food,

Pillows smelled like sweat, but staff continuously changed the pillows and they looked dirty. Hotel was amazing this was the only downfall - pillows and sheets were the only issue from the first day

My stay at Hotel Bavaro had some positives, but overall service and responsiveness were inconsistent. Juana and Darlin at the front desk were especially helpful and attentive, while other staff members were less caring and did not always follow through. For several days I reported bugs in my room, but action was only taken after I specifically requested to speak with a manager, which was frustrating. Dining experiences were mixed: the buffet staff were excellent, actively checked in on guests, and the breakfast and lunch buffet food was consistently good. Capuchino was just okay; desserts were good, but staff sometimes got orders wrong and were often too busy talking to one another to listen carefully or confirm requests. The Italian restaurant and Agave had good self-serve options, but the actual meals were not as strong, and service at the restaurant for breakfast was not attentive. Overall, while there were bright spots, the inconsistency in service and responsiveness made the experience fair/poor. Internet service was also inconsistent and front desk seems lackluster with helping, they said keep trying until someone helped me on the second day of complaining.
