We stayed at the Riu Taino for an annual girls trip and loved every minute of it. The property is great because it is part of several other Riu resorts. You have the ability to go to the other resorts. There are lots of shops within the property as well as a disco and small (I mean very small) casino... More

Check in was quick with no problems. Staff at the check in very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and the bed made every day with fresh towels left. Mini bar in the room had rum, rye and vodka although I didn't drink much in the room it was there if one so desired. Finding ones way to the room... More

I was at Riu Palace Macao the last week of August, 2010 and went over to Riu Taino. The Riu Taino building is being demolished and in its place Riu is going to build a Riu Palace. Construction just started so is going to take a while. The Taino area has been completely fenced. More

My sister and I stayed here from June 12 to 19, 2010. It was a great experience having been our first 'resort' trip in years. The rooms are a bit outdated compared to 'contemporary' designs found at other resorts but still enjoyable. Really how much time do you spend in the room anyway. We did however change our room once... More

Please do not read bad reviews. For all those writing horrible reviews, please do yourself a favour and go to a 5 star resort in Spain or France, or even Florida if you are willing to spend a lot of $$$$$. To make it short, you get what you pay for and more. The resort old and the rooms are... More

Before I have a rant, I will say that the beach by this hotel is amazing, and the location is lovely. I was moved from the hotel next door (Riu Palace Macao) which was amazing, luxurious, think pink caviar, champagne, fresh cinnamon donuts, incredible staff, an amazing Thomson rep, lovely pool. Then we were moved to the Taino (due to... More

Before leaving I was so close to cancelling our trip from the things I had read, I felt sick to my stomach and wasn't sure what to think? I am truly amazed what people actually comment...the hotel was gorgeous, the staff were so friendly, you couldn't ask for a better location and being just steps from the ocean, and as... More

Riu Taino hotel has old fashioned keys for hotel rooms and therefore the security is a breach to the safety of your personal belongings. Our hotel room was broken into but no forced entry, security were extremely slow and police were not notified (except by me), after complaints from the uk representative the general manager did get involved but still...
