Dec 20, 2024Awful
In dire need of refurbishment, standards very low. It was mainly enjoyed by teenagers. The place was dirty. Vomit in the only working lift for 2 days, abandoned drinks with cigarette butts floating in them lined up in corridors for 2 days. Mosquitos were rife, just awful experience.

If you want a fun sprawling party resort you’ll love it. If you want culture, good food, and customer service pick a different resort. I will say the jerk chicken shack is a fan favorite and the cleaning staff keeps a nice room. Not much to do outside the resort besides excursions if you plan to wonder.

Undecided
Property has taken a beating through the years as every day it is a 24/7 party resort. People are constantly passed out everywhere throughout the resort most morning. Elevators rarely work, lobby bar looks like a war zone some mornings, disco is small and smells of mold and nightly entertainment is disappointing in comparison. That said, the food was good, nothing special. Met some great people. There is areas to escape the chaos if you’re looking for somewhere to hide or have some quiet time.

Dec 18, 2024Riu republica punta Cana
My stay at Riu republica was overall 4/5 the location/beach was amazing, by far the nicest beach I’ve been to on any resort and the waves were so fun to swim in. The drinks and pools were very 4 star not 5 star in my opinion. The food I was a little disappointed with. The buffet was the only spot really to find a good meal the other restaurants were 2-3/5 but overall me and my friends had a great time. Finally the Riu parties OMG whatever they tell you about them is true the most fun I’ve had at a resort. Pink party was the best
