Riu Taino Activities and Recreation

 

If you're searching for a place to enjoy a tropical island setting and a lot of great activities, you'll find it at the Riu Taino. The amenities at this hotel support several of the most popular recreational activities, so you can have an active vacation in a relaxed setting.

Water and Fitness

Although there is no set standard for the ideal vacation, you'll find many different activities and attractions in the Dominican Republic. A visit to the hotel's pool might not be your number one priority but it can be a nice way to spend part of the day.

Tennis

Tennis enthusiasts may find this hotel to be a particularly good choice. There are 450 rooms and 4 tennis courts. This equates to an average of approximately 270 guests for each tennis court, which isn't as good as the ratio offered by some hotels. There will be opportunities to play a match, but during the high tourism season you may have to find an alternate time for your match, like when most other guests are getting ready for dinner. You can enjoy some evening matches on a lit tennis court. This is ideal for vacationers who would rather spend their day pursuing other activities.

If you really have a passion for the game, you might want to compare this hotel to other ones that have tennis courts – especially those with high ratings for tennis. Some other hotels that may be worth considering include Casa de Campo as well as Barcel� B�varo Palace.

Golf

Although a golf course isn't one of the amenities, if the idea of playing a round of golf in a tropical setting is appealing, the hotel can help you make arrangements with one of the local courses. The closest course to the Riu Taino is Bavaro, located 10.2 miles northwest of the hotel.

There are a variety of different options available at the hotel, so you're sure to find an enjoyable aquatic activity, even if its your first time.
