My Daughter and I just stayed at the Riu Bachata for 7 nights (not quite long enough) from February 2nd to the 9th. I do not hesitate to recommend this Hotel and we would both go back. I sometimes can not believe all the things that some visitors complain about…drinks too sweet, hard beds and pillows, rocks on the beach... More

We just returned from our second trip to the Riu Bachata and would still highly recommend it. I did a review our first time, and stand by pretty well everything I said there.

It was certainly nice to be... More

Don't listen to reviews about this hotel being a bad place to stay. If your looking to be waited like your a royalty or something, then you may want to look for a place in another world. YOUR ON VACATION.....NOT A CELERITY. The staff is there to serve you, not to be your slave. Staff was excellent, rooms are clean... More

Check in is very quick and well organized, we were in our rooms before we knew it! This resort has definitely figured out how to register a bus load of tired travelers efficiently. We were travelling with our three kids and found our rooms were separated by about five rooms, although on the same floor. We immediately went to the... More

Four of us travelled to the Riu Bachata. We needed a "cheap" vacation and had been to the Dominican before (Punta Cana). Albeit Puerto Plata isn't as nice in terms of beaches, scenery, etc. than Punta Cana but the Riu Bachata made up for everything the area might have lacked!! It was the best value for the money we have... More

myself and my husband had our honeymoon here for 2 weeks in the sun. Some of the reviews did put us off and we were reluctant but with the cost of the wedding it was a relatively cheap get away at £750 each for 2weeks all inclusive. The first thing that struck me was the grand reception, it was lovely.... More

The staff go all out for New Years Eve. The party was awesome and definitely family friendly!! My kids fell asleep around ten on the couches in the lobby and the staff were very good about keeping an eye out with us on them. Wow, we were very impressed with the Riu Bachata. The customer service is really good. Checkin... More

I've never taken the time to writer a review on Trip Advisor before, but since I come here often when looking at vacation destinations, I wanted to write something about this resort. Before going to the Riu Bachata, I will admit that some of the bad reviews had me a bit worried. In my opinion, when you consider the price... More
