Sounds like the vacation from hell, but also sounds like the culprits were the other clientele rather than the hotel. Feces in the pool?? 🤮

One of the main reasons I avoid hot tubs at resorts. Fecal coliform, other types of bacteria and viruses, can survive and thrive in that environment despite the hot water temperatures and filtration. Legionnaires disease has been transmitted in them. Chlorinating helps prevent a lot of those problems but hot tub water is not always chlorinated.

Just another AI tale. All u can eat, and all u can drink does not attract upper classes. " Hey honey, grab the kids, let's go to Punta Cana and drink and eat until we pass out and/or throw up." This clown signed up for 17 days of this. Wonder what his BMI is.

But Mr Stevens said their £2,800 stay at the Riu Republica Hotel became a "nightmare" and he felt "let down" by the holiday operator's offer.

That is the exact place we stayed in May. We saw no **** in the pool, no sex in the pool, and no dead dudes in the pool. In fact the pools were as pristine as you could ask for. The only complaint, if you can call it a complaint, was the food was mediocre. Outside of that, no issues and we will be back.

The hotel is known to be somewhat of a "party resort". Prices are lower compared to some other resorts. Does not make it a bad hotel, just be realistic about what to expect. I remember a general manager of a resort explaining to us why most all resorts close their pools around 6pm. They need to "bomb" the pools with chlorine/chemicals due to the build up from tanning oils (murky water), etc... We have been to several resorts in Punta Cana and I have never seen feces in the pools. Then again, I rarely go in the pools.

Well, we can see what the bloke's priorities are. Tattoos and drinking. Certainly not his dental situation. All the hubbub might be his attempt to get a freebee.

I was reading the Google reviews - here's a recap:

Is this a good location for singles?
