Riu Taino Hotel &
Resort Punta Cana
A
perfect location with all facilities aligning with the beach
and steps from the Caribbean Street .The name is in honor of
the Tiano Indians, the first inhabitants on this 15 mile
stretch of bone-white beach. Their talents in thatching, may
have inspired that very palapa, you may be sitting under;
suntan lotion applied and ready to embrace the golden rays.
While the Indian may have kayaked with fishing line, you can
soar across turquoise waters, on a windsurfer or sailboat.
Legacies of Indians aside, you'll still feel some lingering
connection by the beauty of natural vegetation, in this
beachfront location.
The spacious lobby with high wood ceiling with a Dominican
style peak, and natural white stones walls opens to gardens
of banana trees, ferns growing up date palms, hedges
bursting with red flowers . Villas in soft tangerine color
with white lattice accents around the balconies, are tucked
into this tropical display of greenery and blossoms. Tiled
walkways lead to a large pool with a spired dome over the
swim-up bar. Activities with Merengue lessons and lively
fun, seem to generate at this particular Riu. You can easily
slip out of the pool and walk steps over to the beach, and
are 3 minutes from the Caribbean Street with shops and
Pizzeria.

one single bed in each room, air-conditioning, ceiling fan,
