I would recommend staying here if you’re looking for a place to party. The RIU parties were so much fun! The food was okay at best. The room I felt like was stuffy. The bartenders at the bar in the all adults pool were the best! Definitely made the stay better. The beach is beautiful!! The only complaint I have that had nothing to do with the hotel was the amount of 16-18 year old high schoolers who were staying there were so annoying and had no manners.. throwing money at the staff to give them drinks was ridiculous. They also took up most of the room at the all adults pool and were picking fights with the older guests.

The resort felt very safe and family oriented, I was traveling alone. The evening entertainment was not very exciting at all. The staff ranged from the front desk being super helpful to the dining staff being of little to no help(even rude at times). I would come back not due to the staff but due to the feeling of it being safe for the family.

This was our first visit to a Riu property & definitely not our last. The staff was incredible! Food was great. No skimping on food or alcohol, unlike other all-inclusive resorts. Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend Riu Palace Punta Cana!
