This is an amazing property with very nice staff, especially the guys from the buffet some of them were exceptional. If u r traveling with kids n dont no Spanish dont think about taking ur little kids to the RIU Land, the guy there were very rude and racial. He leave my kids standing while placing all the other kids in a seat. When i ask if my kids cant take part, he ask if i want dem to, like really?? Y i took dem there in the 1st place? He ruined my entire day, i just pick up my kids n walk out of the play place. Other than that lots of entertainments for adult and the food was very good, healthier side.

Beautiful property… very strange smell all around the property- basically plumbing was spewing weird smells. Beautiful beach and poool. Very loud drunk people all over the resort if you want peace and quiet this is not the place for you. People were nice and good was great as always 1 dollar goes a long way. Did not meet up to THE RIU NAME

Can’t wait til next time!

We stayed at RIU resorts Palace Punta Cana for our anniversary. It was a great experience. Staff was very nice and accommodating. Food was good despite all the negative reviews on that subject. Some concerns that did arise is the air conditioning not being able to be readjusted so the room would stay freezing unless we turned it completely off and just let the fan stay on high all night. Which would have been okay if it wasn’t so humid. Also, the bed was extremely firm so it hurt my back. Entertainment could use a little sprucing up. Not much excitement happening there. Overall however, I would definitely go back and recommend this place to anyone looking for a reasonable all inclusive resort with great amenities and courteous staff members.
