Riu Taino
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.
