Here in Punta Cana having a lovely time at Riu Palace. Beautiful grounds, lovely food, & service is good.
Only reason we Don't give 5 stars is the swim up pool. Too many young children in a small pool with totally drinking, noisy environment. Maybe should be adult only, but that's only our opinion.
Otherwise, loving it! Special mention to Mario in buffet restaurant

This is the third year we have come to Punta Cana and stayed at a Riu. The beach is beautiful! The cleaning staff is great! Everything is neat and clean. We love the service at Riu Palace Punta Cana! We especially love Sandy at the buffet (La Isabela)! He has a very welcoming smile! We have come back to find him each year!!! Sandy is friendly and kind...we really enjoy talking with him! My son, Titus, wanted to come see Sandy for his birthday! He wants to put him in his suitcase and take him back home. ????
