4/10 Fair

Just spent 5 nights here, definitely would not come back. Overall, the outside of the property is very nice. Inside, the rooms are very dated. We had a family of 10 across 4 rooms. All of us had issues with the outlets not working. We had no hot water for hours the first full day we were there. The are only two options for lunch, the beach buffet or the bbq for burgers/chicken. The beach buffet is basically inedible. The specialty restaurants were just ok at best, definitely not family friendly if you have smaller kids. The only decent food is the Isabella buffet, the service there was always great. The pool water is literally hotter than a bathtub to the point where it wasn’t refreshing and the pools are small and extremely over crowded. The waterpark advertised in the pictures is not on site and you is about a 10 minutes walk. The beaches are filled with people trying to sell you crap every few minutes. The front desk supervisor berated my 70 year old parents because they forgot their keys in the room at check out and said he didn’t care if they missed their flights home. I’ve been to a lot of all inclusives, three in the Punta Cana alone, this was definitely the worst experience which is upsetting considering it was a family vacation meant to be relaxing but everyone was ready to go home by the second day.

2/10 Poor

Avoid this resort. We stayed here with a group of 17 people and had a terrible experience. The main issues were mold in the rooms, roaches, and toilets that didn't flush. Everyone in our group encountered these problems. The ceiling fan was covered in dust, and we were told this was normal due to the weather. The resort is outdated and in need of renovation. We had to request toilet repairs daily from check-in to check-out, often waiting hours for someone to address the problem. Sometimes, we'd return from meals or activities to find our room smelly from the issue. The beds were very uncomfortable, and the food was only average. The alcohol selection was poor, and I preferred not to drink rather than settle for the low-quality options available. I would have considered paying for an upgrade if it had been offered. Additionally, some of us suffered from diarrhea for two days, likely due to uncooked steak that was left out at room temperature in the buffet area. The $1,355 resort credit per room, per stay was disappointing. After checking in and downloading the Riu app, we found that the credit was divided into small amounts, allowing only $10 to $20 off at a time. We tried to use it at the spa but only received a $20 discount per person, while the cheapest massage was $175. The pools are always overcrowded, water was hot like a sauna. The volleyball was ripped and deflated. We asked if they had another for us to use but they didn’t have one. The elevators were out of service,

Overrated hotel. You get what you pay for. I usually do not like to complain but when is necessary I will to alert people what to expect. The hotels grounds are nice but once you enter the rooms you can smell the mold. It was not just our room but our friends had the same issue too. Also, we had unexpected visitors(roaches, bed bugs), my wife woke up with bites on her hands and back and a swollen eye. The food looks great on day one, then expect the same food everyday every meal. Also, expect to tip to receive good service. Not much to do with kids. I will not stay at this location.

**5-Star Review:** We had an absolutely amazing time at Riu Palace Punta Cana! The resort was everything we could have hoped for and more. The pools were pristine and perfect for lounging, the beach was stunning with crystal-clear water, and the drinks were always flowing—delicious and refreshing! The entertainment and activities kept us busy and made our stay so much fun. As for the food, while it wasn't the best we've ever had, it was still very good considering the large number of guests they cater to. The variety was impressive, and we always found something we enjoyed. Overall, the food was quite acceptable given the scale of service. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everything was spot-on, and we can't wait to return!

2/10 Poor

It’s upsetting to write this review since we used to love this place. Pros: The stuff is amazing and always willing to help. $30-$40 tip a day doesn’t make you poor, but it does mean a lot for these hardworking people. Cons: The hotel needs major maintenance. There were lots of little but annoying issues but also a big one - The ceiling fan didn’t work - 3 of the 4 power outlets didn’t work - The coffee machine didn’t work - Shower handle didn’t work - The entire hotel didn’t have running water on the last day of our stay The big issue is MOLD unfortunately. When we walked into the room first time I ignored the smell, thinking probably the room was empty for a few days and running the ceiling fan and the AC would solve the smell issue (I shouldn’t have ignored it). After a couple of days my kids got sick. We confirmed the mold issue with other guests (asked around the people by the poolside). On the last day I noticed mold growing on my backpack and luggage that we left on the floor during our entire stay. We arrived our home after an 8-day stay well after 10:30 PM and carried all our belongings to our backyard. We have been doing laundry for the last 18 hours. Sprayed vinegar on our backpacks, shoes, slippers, luggage and resting them in the sun hoping the mold dies off. I have an annoying chest pain and the wife will be scheduling a pediatrician visit for the kids. As much as we like the stuff, we won’t be returning to Riu Palace Punta Cana.

overall experience is great, safe place to stay and very clean, main issues with the AC system, managers was informed in person , management is aware of the situation yet they continue booking the room. 3140. I believe if they have issues they should not book those rooms. th facility needs more attention to details. falling hardware in bathrooms. The nomenclature they use for some food is not correct, tiramisu at the italian restaurant is far from being a tiramisu, it can be offered as choco -coffee cake but never a tiramisu, this can be misleading to clients . typical cuisine is awesome, , I insist management must talk to maintenance personnel and set up a task force before its time to put even more cash

So, my review is as this, the hotel is beautiful, and it is a big hotel, i think at the time of them building it, they wasted a lot of space, causing a lot of unnecessary walking through out the hotel. It is a very long walk to the pool, and the beach, when you get over there you don't wanna move and walk back, because it's way too long. Besides that, the room that me and my wife stayed in we discover that the hotel was infested with roaches, it got very bad to where we saw on the bed at 4am and all over the room, where we had to go down to the hobby and ask for another room. When we got the 2nd room they still had to spray, for bugs. I think the biggest problem there is that the guess are bringing food up to the room and leaving it there. The hotel also needed more entertainment there after 11am the dj is gone and the only place to have some entertainment close at 12am. Food was great but you have allergies please ask what you're eating if you're not sure. Also, there elevator system is messed up, due to the fact that when you're taking it to the floor you want you are actually on the other side of the hotel, that was not cool. Hotel is also way to far from everything outside.

Nice and clean. Staff need to learn a little English for better communication. Otherwise, very friendly and helpful.

6/10 Good

The staff were friendly, but lack English language. The rooms were very old the ceiling in the bathrooms looked like they had many water damages. The linens smelled like molded and smelled.

8/10 Very good

Room needs updating and a little more cleanest. Bathroom door hits the toilet when you open the door. Not a good place to put a toilet. Ceiling had water marks. Hotel needs more entertainment and more activities for guests.

Dear customer service I arrived to the resort on Friday 16 at the time of check in I received suite #2113 which i soon I entered I noticed that the air conditioning wasn’t functioning correctly also toilet doesn’t flush, I called counter to report it , they told me that they will send technician over to solve the problem, never came, I called again and they told that the technician was working on it, Saturday morning called again and they offered me to switch the room, went to room 0059 to see it before moving luggage, toilet had issues flushing even worth that the one on 2113, returned to counter and they promised me to fix the problem on my room 2113,this was at 1pm on Saturday ,11:00 pm still not fixed, comeback to counter and they give me a smaller room which the a/c was working good, 11:32pm after I moved my personal items to the new room #2176 I started seeing roaches coming out from the fridge and under the bed, this frustration got me on trouble with my wife which was our anivesary , this was a terrible experience with the rooms , why I paid for a suite and end in a smaller room? Attached there is a picture of one roach that I killed
