There's plenty of food options, keep in mind buffets serve the same food daily so it can get boring quickly. Bedrooms are OK but they can definitely be cleaner. Staff is incredible, they’re super welcoming, they pay attention, remember you. Highly recommend to bring your own liquor since this particular resort only provides house liquors. Don’t forget to pack anything and everything you think you could use / need since the prices are nearly triple of what you’d pay in the USA

- No proper internet on TV for streaming - WiFi constantly dropped as I moved around the property - Rooms: this was my least favorite part of my experience. Temperature wise it was either extremely cold with AC or a normal temperature with extreme humidity/dampness. Beds were not so comfortable after a couple nights. No real finishes to the rooms, they paint on the fly (I saw a lot of white paint cans while cleaning rounds were happening) which is fine but you can see white paint splatter on a lot of the wood in the room. Rooms are NOT soundproof you can hear everything happening above, and if your room faces inward, I hope you are a night owl - Not enough spots for hotel guests between pool and beach options. Wish there were more sun spot options by the ocean not fully shaded

Well, I doubt’s will be read. But I was underwhelmed the property is an older property that needs renovated for sure. The food was average at best. Tried every restaurant the best one was the fusion restaurant that we experienced. The rest were just very average and I say this because I’ve traveled enough to know good food when I have it. The first day we were there our toilet ran the entire day. They sent a person up and didn’t fix the issue. I ended up fixing it myself the second day woke up to no water whatsoever and they said effected the entire resort an didn’t return till just after lunch. The workers were very friendly. The people at front desk didn’t offer to extend a credit do something special like they did for other people. I don’t know why someone did but the guy that showed me what they did for him he stays here fairly often. I guess we’re at the years and they sent him up a large fruit display with a bottle of line cigar.The ocean was beautiful. The place was kept pretty clean for the most part so that was a plus. I have a possible 10 I would give it to a six over 6.5. But I will never go to another Rio property. Nothing was offered as a credit we should receive at least a day if not, two days of credit from our vacation.

The rooms need major upgrades. There’s are old, moldy and bathrooms are in bad condition. Having stairs in the room is bad idea. We have been tripping over them not stop. Housekeeping ladies were wonderful as well as restaurant staff. Beach is great, close and clean. You have ton remove cats from the resort. They are being torched by the guests and their kids all the time.

This is our second stay at the Hotel Riu Palace Punta Cana. The grounds and staff were wonderful, especially the night bartender at the Daiquiri bar. The food was good, as well, however, we noticed that some of the variety from our last visit was not available. For example, we could not seem to get bagels, cream cheese, capers, or smoked salmon together at the same time. There used to be a lobster option on a Thursday I believe, but that was not available this visit. Also, I believe the rooms are in need of an overhaul. Our bathroom ceiling in the shower was stained, the glass partition had soap stains, and the shower head did not have a consistent water flow. The room just seemed dated and neglected to me. The housekeeping staff was pleasant and accommodating. One stand out was that it was my husband's birthday during our stay and the housekeeping staff decorated our room with very cute balloons. That was a great touch. We do enjoy staying at the Riu and did have an overall good experience.

Multiple things were wrong with our room. Many of the outlets in the room did not work, the ceiling fan did not work, toilet wouldn’t flush. We put in work requests which were responded to but didn’t fix any of the problems. Service was also not great other than the waiters at the restaurants and the cleaning staff. Everyone else seemed annoyed if stopped or needed service. Lastly food was not good at all. I don’t have high expectations when it comes to the food at all inclusive but I have to say in the appx 15 all-inclusive resorts I’ve been to this was honestly ranks the lowest quality, taste, and selection of food out of all of them. I hate to leave a bad review but want others to be aware when deciding on a resort.

Fantastic fun place. Great food / place to stay. Mostly with teens / 18 year old. You can enjoy adult life very well, relaxing and fun at the same time.
