Kantenah Vacation Rentals

"The property is beautiful, though it was unfortunate that the seaweed was at its worst during our stay (5/1–5/11), creating a strong odor in the mornings when sitting by the pool. Speaking of the pool, I’m not sure how frequently it’s cleaned, as it didn’t appear to be serviced during our visit. By the end of our stay, the water had become quite murky, with a noticeable film of sunscreen on the surface in the mornings. The entertainment staff were fantastic and kept each day lively and enjoyable with plenty of fun activities. Shout out to David and Carlos, keep doing what you're doing. The Italian restaurant was by far the highlight, while the other dining options on the property were just average. Overall, the property was spotlessly clean, and the staff were exceptionally pleasant to interact with."

"We did use the spa or go downstairs to the bar "

"This is the third time I’ve stayed at a Riu property, and my first time at the Riu Tequila. The hotel is great, and the staff are wonderful; however, I do feel that the rooms are in need of an update. The food and drinks are good, and the hotel is always very lively. Next time, I’d like to stay at the Riu Palace."

"Pepe and Evelyn are amazing! They both made the Italian restaurant a special place. The front desk people that work overnight are not the nicest bunch. However the day staff was amazing. They need better poolside activities because the days are the pool are not as social as they could be. This is NOT a party resort. It’s perfect if you are a couple or social solo traveler who wants to be steps away from 5th avenue. This is by far the best rest to be at when it comes to access to nightlife outside the resort. That’s what makes it unique. Overall good experience. Coming back in June "

"It wasn’t what I expected but it’s ok. "

"We had a wonderful trip and would comfortably say this is the best all inclusive resort we have stayed at. We travel a lot and pay attention to the “little” things which this hotel excelled at. The cleanliness, level of service, quality and variety of food and drinks are just a few things that stood out. We appreciated the two pools: one quiet and the other with more of a party atmosphere. The entertainment team does a good job at engaging people who want to participate without being pushy. The nighttime shows are wonderful and entertaining. The food at the buffet and à la carte restaurants is really wonderful with lots of options to choose from. We appreciated that the staff were not pushy for reviews or tips which we have found to be the case at other resorts. That suggests to me that all the positive reviews you read here are genuine as opposed to being the result of pushy staff who encourage you to mention them by name. We have seen this first hand at other resorts in Mexico as well as in the DR. It was refreshing to experience this level of service without the expectation of either generous tips or positive reviews. The rooms were clean, large and very comfortable. If you are a beach person, the beach is a little rocky and the seaweed can be a bit of a problem but this is not a reflection of the hotel. We want to highlight Alan, Fonsi and Hector at “La Mejorada”. They were all wonderful, kind, knowledgeable and friendly. Alan is an incredible mixologist who takes gre"

"This is a beautiful resort, but unfortunately the customer service experience was extremely disappointing. Due to one of our travelers being hospitalized, we needed a modification to our reservation booked through Expedia. While staying at the resort, 2 staff members assured us the matter would be resolved, but after multiple follow-ups, emails went unanswered and promised callbacks never happened. Even after providing hospital documentation, neither Expedia nor I received any meaningful response. To make matters worse, staff members later refused to provide their names when contacted by phone, and multiple assurances of follow-up were never honored. Guests spend a significant amount of money to vacation at a resort like this, and in situations involving medical emergencies, customers deserve professionalism, communication, and compassion. The complete lack of accountability and disregard for communication throughout this process was unacceptable. Because of this experience, I would not recommend this resort and will not be returning. I would strongly encourage future patrons to consider how customer issues are handled here, especially in situations involving emergencies or unexpected circumstances."

"Extremely disappointing experience, especially as a longtime Expedia/Hotels.com VIP customer. Due to the similarity in the Palladium property names, I mistakenly arrived at the wrong location while traveling for my son’s wedding. I immediately attempted to resolve the issue, but communication and assistance were very poor and stressful throughout the process. Promised VIP amenities such as champagne and hors d’oeuvres were not provided upon arrival and only appeared very late at night after I complained. I ultimately had to spend hundreds of dollars on transportation and another hotel closer to my family and the wedding location. Even at the second property, my bracelet was never properly activated despite multiple requests, leaving me unable to access certain areas without assistance. Additional room issues also occurred. Overall, what should have been a joyful family occasion became emotionally exhausting, financially burdensome, and very frustrating. I sincerely hope improvements are made regarding guest communication, coordination, and service."

"Everything was nice and pretty l. The food needs some updating. The food pretty much is the same variety for all 3 courses. I will 7 of 10"
