We just came back from a trip to Punta Cana and stayed at the Riu Palace Punta Cana (November 6-13). We were quite disappointed with the rooms. We booked standard rooms, and they were very large and roomy, but also VERY smelly. They smelled musty/moldy and all our clothes smelled of it. The bed linens were damp and awful to... more

I went to Punta Cana this summer and stayed in RIU Palace and this Resort was amazing. There are 3 other resorts that you can walk to. There is plenty to do there, its like its own city. The staff was so friendly and would bend over backwards to give you the best service, for example at dinner one night... more

Myself and 30 of my family and friends stayed at the Riu Palace from October 14 through the 20th. I was married on Friday the 17th. As far as my wedding is concerned, it was perfect. Magnolia the wedding coordinator on site was amazing, she made my day perfect. The only thing bad I can say about the wedding process... more

I'm unsure how that rating holds as it is rated in the bottom 3rd of all resorts here in Punta Cana on trip advisor. Upon arrival at the airport: how neat! Thatched roof-no... more
