“Trip I will never forget”

Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

My girlfriend (at the time) and I traveled to the Riu Palace last year for vacation. The resort had some good points and not so good points. We were not impressed by the rooms. They seemed to be old and out dated. The food we heard was great here, but we did not know because we only were able to... More

“You will have a good time, my 6th RIU, but...”

Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

This was my 6th stay at a RIU. Found them on Expedia a few years ago. Love their all-inclusive deals and everything they have to offer has been a fit for my taste, the resorts, the entertainment, the drinks, the food, the people-they work sooo hard for you to enjoy yourself. This is my third time in DR. Stayed twice... More

“Average Hotel”

Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

Hotel looks better than it is (for a 5 star) Rooms are a bit old, and bathroom is not the best. Out of 5 restaurant options, the italian is the only very good one. Very good drinks served at pool/beach. Entertainment activities offered by hotel crew. Don't take the first tour offered to you, because they will always charge the... More

“Great stay, and great time had by all!”

Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW via mobile

Great vacation, the grounds were beautiful as was the beach. The staff was overall very friendly and helpful. The room was nice, slight musty smell but nothing a little febreeze couldn't handle. The bed was a little hard, but after a long day of fun and sun, it did its job. The food was not that good, but we kinda... More

Our week here was an amazing time. The resort is beautifully kept and very clean. The entire staff was extremely accommodating and so very friendly. Richard went over and beyond to ensure our stay was top notch. Overall the food was just ok. It is an all inclusive and the food was typical of an all inclusive resort. Our favorite... More

Reviewed 9 June 2013

Let me start by saying that I have been to many Riu properties and just returned from my third trip to this location. I am a huge Riu Palace fan and love, love, love the Punta Cana Beach, beautiful landscaping, and gorgeous views of the ocean. Food is good, beds are comfortable and poolside service is excellent.
