“We went to Riu Palace Punta Cana last week and we had an amazing time. This is an excellent resort, grounds are very well maintained and their staff to guest ratio is highly respectable. They have ample food, drink, dessert choices. One thing I would say is their restaurants aren't anything special but the buffet more than makes up for it. The staff they have is wonderful, they really go above and beyond to make sure you have an excellent experience. Please extend our thanks to Julio Sosa, Antonia, Kiara and their respective teams. For perspective guests, please be sure to tip the gardeners and room and bathroom cleaning staff as they have some of the toughest jobs on the resort and they do it with a smile on their face. We cant wait to come back!”

“The hotel is beautiful and well maintained.They have an app where you can tell them if your room needs maintenance, or additional towels, shampoo, etc.They are quick to respond and fix the issue.Their website states that Covid Tests are provided for those who require it for re entry to their country.What we were not told was that it was in one of their other hotels on the Riu property (Riu Palace Bávaro) and that you needed a copy of your your passport to get it.They also did not provide transportation to the Bavaro.We got there and only had our drivers license with us.Thankfully one of the managers offered to drive me back to our hotel to get the passports.The food is good and plentiful, except their 24 hour sports bar that is supposed to have snacks, never had them.They are still doing buffets and they require you to wear a mask while getting your food.They have hand sanitizer at the entrance, but they do not make people use it.I found this to be a huge negative as people are touching all the serving utensils.They also have switched to cheap paper napkins instead of cloth ones.Their app lists the daily activities and nightly entertainment but It didnt seem to be correct for either.Their activity personnel did not seem to be trying to get people engaged.We waited at the pool one day for over an hour for the water volleyball game, and did not see even one of their activity people during that time.In the 5 days we were there, there was never a volleyball game at the time specified on their app.The nightly entertainment leaves a lot to be desired also.They had a magician, and a balance/strength act that were good, but otherwise it was just spanish music and/or music videos.They let the kids go up on stage for 1/2 hour or so before the main act and one night immediately following the kids, they put music videos on the large screen that were definitely not for kids.”
