Nice place to stay. Not 5 stars but nice and clean. Buffet options ok, some specialty restaurants better than others. Nice pools. Nice enough beach, theres a fair amount of seaweed but clear water. Came across minor inconveniences like some outlets in the room not working. I dont have a family but seems family friendly, they have a kids club for during the day. Staff is friendly and helpful.

This property is an excellent choice for an economic family or adult vacation. Having access to all of the resorts offers plenty of activities for the entire family. The staff was always friendly and accommodating. The restaurants weren't great but they were mediocre to good.. in my opinion the steaks were fantastic. The buffets were good and plenty of options. Honestly, for how inexpensive our stay was I had prepared for poor food options and that was NOT the case. I have stayed in several islands at various price points. For the cost, the RIU Palace Punta Cana is the best value.

First of all, I would like to start with my check in precoces upon arrival to this hotel. Front desk employee Michael was attending to us as we began our check in we were told we had a Junior Suite with no view, so we kindly asked if we could upgrade to a Suite with a Jacuzzi and better view. Michael said that it’s not problem to upgrade us and we were told that it will cost us $350 and that if we payed cash it will be $230, I payed $250 in cash, Michael placed the money inside his pocket and went and spoke to another employee named Julio, I walked towards both of them and asked for my change of $20 dollars, Michael continued what seem to be a secret conversation with guy named Julio, after some time in a very sneaky matter, Michael returned back my $20 dollars Michael then gave us keys to our new upgraded Suite. We advised him that it was a special occasion and we need it the Suite prepared with champagne and whatever they have available to make the occasion extra special, Michael said “ no problem, it will be ready the next day”, we then finish our check in and happily walked ourselves no knowing where to exactly walk to our so called upgraded Suite. As we arrived to our Suite, we were extremely disappointed and frustrated that we walked into the room and it wasn’t a Suitethere was no Jacuzzi or nice view as requested. Also,a male employee walks behind us, doesn’t introduce himself enters the room and started fixing a broken refrigerator on the floor.we were almost scamed.

We liked the property and what they have to offer. We loved our (2nd) room and the layout. But they tend to not actually CLEAN the entire room. Yes I can see the floor was mopped. But you didn't CLEAN the shower, you didn't CLEAN the mirror. The tub was wiped out but not CLEANED. There's a difference I'm used to and wasn't getting it. Then I kept having to request wash clothes every day and it took hours to receive them. Am I supposed to use my hands and or a hand towel? Ridiculous. There's also a problem with roaches. Our (first) room was dirty. It had an odor to it as well. Which made us take closer looks at the room. And there were roaches in it. By the time the Bellhop brought our luggage to the room we were ready to go back the front desk behind him. The front desk changed our room no questions and gave us a pool view. Which was great. If they actually CLEANED the rooms this property would get a better rating from me.
