Résumé des avis

The cleanliness of the grounds and rooms is highly praised, as are the quality and variety of the food. The staff is commended for its friendliness. The beautiful, clean, and well-equipped beach, along with the numerous swimming pools and festive atmosphere, are major assets. However, some guests feel the hotel does not meet 5-star standards. The à la carte restaurants are sometimes perceived as simply themed buffets, and the atmosphere can occasionally be noisy.

Not up to the standard of a Riu
Pas a la hauteur d'un Riu

The hotel is unsanitary; there's a lot of rubbish lying around during the day. The resort is cleaned every morning, but there's so much trash that they don't provide cleaning supplies. The rooms are old and smell damp. Water was leaking into my aunt's room on the 3rd floor during a downpour. There are a lot of mosquitoes on the grounds. There's a swamp between the quiet and party areas. In short, this place is perfect for those who want to party all week and live the nightlife. I wouldn't give it more than 3.5 stars. Very disappointing for a Riu. I wouldn't go back.

L'hôtel est insalubre, il y a beaucoup de chose que traîne durant la journée. Le resort est nettoyé a chaque matin. Mais, il y a tellement de déchet qu'ils ne fournissent pas de nettoyé.

Les chambres c'est vieux ça sent l'humidité. L'eau coulait dans la chambre de ma tante au 3e étage lors d'une averse.
Il y a beaucoup de moustiques dû sur le sites. Il y a un marécage entre le section tranquille et festive.
En bref, cette endroit est parfaite pour ceux qui ont envie d'être festive toute la semaine et de vivre la nuit. Je donnerais pas plus que 3.5 étoiles. Très décevant pour un Riu. Je n'y retournerais pas

I've stayed at the Riu Republica several times now, and the quality of the buffet has declined considerably. The pool and bar area are dirtier than before; I understand it's always full, but it was very dirty, and I didn't go in. The staff are always smiling and pleasant. The espresso machine never works anywhere except in the sports bar. I would hesitate to go there in the future.

ca fait plusieurs fois je part à Riu Republica, la qualité du buffet est baissée pas mal, la piscine ou il le bar est plus sale qu'avant je comprends quel est toujours pleine mais elle rendu très sale je n'ai pas rentré dedans. personnels toujours souriants et agréable. machine d'expresso ne fonctionne jamais partout ou tu vas sauf dans bar au sport. j'hésiterai à y aller dans le futur

Good for celebrating
Bien pour fêter

If your goal is to party, this is the hotel for you. Parties are a given, and you can stay by the pool with your music 24/7 if you like. As for the food, it's nothing extraordinary, even at the à la carte restaurants, so if you're looking for a culinary experience, this isn't the place for you. It's old, and the air conditioning doesn't work in several rooms. We were moved to a different room three times because the air conditioning wasn't working. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The cocktails aren't the best; if you're using rum, ask for a darker rum, otherwise the one they use by default has a really unpleasant taste.

Si votre but est d’aller fêter, c’est vôtre hotel. Les party sont au rendez-vous, vous pouvez rester dans piscine avec votre musique 24h si vous le souhaitez.

Pour ce qui est de la nourriture c’est rien d’extraordinaire meme les restaurants à la carte, alors si vous cherchez à vivre une expérience culinaire ce n’est pas un endroit conseillé.

C’est vieux, l’air clim fonctionne pas dans plusieurs chambres, nous avons été déplacé de chambre 3 fois, parce que l’air clim ne fonctionnait pas.

Le personnel est très aimable et accueillant.

Les cocktails sont pas les meilleurs, avec du rhum demandez de changer pour du foncé sinon lui qu’ils utilisent de base a vraiment un goût désagréable.
