Our stay at the resort was absolutely delightful with plenty of activities and great beach access. The rooms were spacious and clean, making for a comfortable retreat. While the food options were varied, we found some dishes to be repetitive, and therefore dining could use some enhancement. The entertaining foam parties added a fun element to our nights, but the pool and foosball tables being chargeable was a disappointment. Overall, it was an exciting trip, and we can't wait to return soon!

We had a really enjoyable stay at the RIU Republica. The property is massive, with plenty of entertainment in the evenings and a lovely beach. The staff was the highlight, always friendly and helpful. However, the dining experience could improve as there were some cleanliness issues with leftover dishes. Overall, it was a great trip, but it might not be the best choice for those over 30 looking for peace and quiet.
