Riu Bachata, Dominican Republic

Hi,

I need to stay at the Riu Bachata in Bahia Maimon, Dominican Republic, from 22.01.2008 - 26.01.2008. I have tried lots of sites and am having difficulty in finding anywhere offering it at all! Cheapest at the moment I think is Travelocity - can anywhere recommend any other site or deals on hotel only stays?

Thanks

Gemma

  • Hiya, can't help on the booking, given these are owned by Tui (Thomson) you would have thought you would get the best deal there. Stayed at the Bacharta 2 years ago and it was really great however have you checked out the Rui Mambo or the Rui Merengue? These are the 2 other hotels in the same complex and you can walk between them all and use the facilities in all 3 hotels as part of your deal although there may be restrictions on some of the resturants by now so check it out. Of the 3 the Bacharta is the 5* and more expensive whilst the other 2 are 4*. Hope it helps, Steve
