Wednesday the 24 of September 2025 the room started getting warm. Thought it would cool off by night. Called front desk Thursday at 2 pm about problem, they said they would send maintenance. 425 pm I went to front desk and she said she called the technician. Waited till 6 pm tech came and said will be one minute. At 730 no show no call so I went to dinner and had my wife stay and I’ll bring back something for her to eat. 8pm on way back met a manager I think name Angelo and told him of the problem. He informed me that the ac was out in the entire building. I told him that had someone called and informed me that that my wife would have accompanied me to dinner rather then waiting in the room waiting for tech guy. He apologized and said he’ll do something for the inconvenience, nothing. Seen beverages guy in hallway and asked for two seven up. Rude guy said all ready been to the room today. I told him it rain all day and no ac in room so we consumed more cold beverages. We rude the first week of our stay. And the last time we seen him was telling us that because of “do not disturb” sign on door they didn’t service the room. As for the hotel itself, hallway echo making it noisy, people yelling, talking very loud and knocking on door like a bunch of kids. You would think that it’s a adult only hotel that people would act their age instead of a group of kids. I’ve stayed at Riu in Costa Rica, Panama and bamboo Punta Cana before. This was the worse. Will not go back there again!!!

You will not notice it right away, but the resort is very safe. They really do care if you leave the resort for any reason. The resort itself is priced perfectly for its accommodation, my only gripe is the amount of flies and mosquitos inside the restaurants. If your looking for inexpensive but fun, RIU Republica is the spot.

This is my seventh stay at a Riu property. I’ve previously stayed in Cancun, Riviera Maya, Cabo, and Jamaica, and now Punta Cana. I’ve always enjoyed Riu resorts in the past, but this trip was terrible. At this resort, the restaurants closed by 8:30 p.m., which was very disappointing. Service at other Riu properties has always been excellent, but in Punta Cana it was the opposite. The staff overall came across as unfriendly—it wasn’t just one or two people, it felt like the entire resort culture. I tried to dine at the steakhouse twice but could never get a reservation, even when I arrived as early as 6:30 and 6:45 p.m. The Japanese buffet served the exact same food every day, and the overall food quality was awful. Communication was also a problem. Except for the reservation staff, hardly anyone else spoke or understood English, which made things even more frustrating. Lastly, I upgraded my room at check-in to get a balcony with a view, but my balcony had no view at all—another disappointment.
