We stayed for a week at this hotel jan 22 to 29 2012. we actually didn't booked this hotel but due to overbooking we had the pleasant surprise of being moved to this incredible hotel. Want can we say, spectacular lobby with free wifi, great buffet, firendly and helpfull staff, superb pool, and pristine beach ! You will certainly get... More

This was our first time at this resort but not our first time at a RIU Palace and we certainly weren't disappointed. RIU Palace's are top notch in beauty, service and excellency. I say "Very Grand" as that is the feeling you get as you drive up and walk around this beautiful resort. It's not so huge that you do... More

We have stayed at the Riu Palace the past 2 years and are counting the days until we go back for the 3rd time. I have read both good and bad reviews and from my past 2 experiences there is some truth to most of them. In my opinion it just depends on what you want out of a vacation.... More

We were a group of 4 couples, ages 62 to 65. We spent one week at the Riu Palace Punta Cana. Our overall experience was very good.

When we (2 couples) were looking for our annual Jan/Feb sun and surf trip we checked out DR. Two of us had stayed previously in Punta Cana at the Melia Caribe, but since we had stayed at RIU's the previous two trips we decided to try it. We were seriously considering the RIU Bavaro since it had just opened, but... More

After staying at over 15 AI resorts throughout the Caribbean and Mexico I would rate this as one of the better ones we have stayed at over the years. It's not perfect as I will explain below, and people have vastly differing expectations, but we would go back here in a minute. And that is a bit surprising as we... More

FIRST, let me preface this review by ONCE again stating that the magority of NEGATIVE reviews of hotels are written by miserable people who allow their nasty attitudes to ruin their vacations with their miserable personalitlies......whom, most of, forget the fact that they are staying at a hotel and NOT their own homes. i would love to review their homes...
