Spend a week of fun in the sun at this resort. Traveled with friends and we truly enjoyed our stay and appreciate the hard work of the staff to make you feel welcome. The food was good and designed so you can have a different dinning experience to choose from everyday. The beach was awesome, plenty of lounging chairs and the water had cool waves that were enjoyable. Beach shoes not needed but as always, safe to ware. Some seaweed but a detailed tried picking it up every other day. Beach cleanliness does need a little more care but it's really people not picking up after themselves. Vendors are in the beach trying to make a living but will go away with a simple "no gracias". Pools were great and enjoyable especially the pool bar. Drinks available everywhere and all the time. Building was decent but the rooms do require some minor maintenance to keep it in top shape. So don't expect a new building feel. A larger staff for maintenance and grounds cleanness would turn that around. RIU party was well organized but crazy. Mainly for the young but fun to watch. Bottomline, we had a pleasant stay at this RIU resort and would visit again/recommend others to visit.

Place is good, it need more attention cleaning rooms and bathroom, the transportation from the Airport was bad , we had to wait almost 45 minutes, the guy who was in charge was nasty, on the way back we have to arrange our own car service.

We went for our 10-year wedding anniversary and were so impressed with everything about the resort. I love the way they keep all aspects of the property very neat and clean. There are always workers around cleaning and making sure the property is spotless. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants a fantastic getaway. We definitely plan to go back in the near future. Just awesome!

Riu Palace Punta Cana was beautiful, clean and the staff were super friendly. Riu pool parties were also litt and fun. We didn’t get to eat at the restaurants but the food in the dining hall was good/decent. There’s lots of selections. For the price it was definitely worth it. I would definitely stay there again. S/o to the wait staff Juan and Julio.
