Absolutely Fabulous!

We returned today and had to write a review to let the world know what an amazing resort RIU palace Macao is !! This has been our second time at this resort. The staff are so friendly, always there to please their guests. There are 3 pools , one is more of a party pool. The pool bar staff are very attentive. The buffet was delicious, lots to choose from for each meal. The steak restaurant was yummy, the Italian not so much. I agree the resort is a bit outdated, but the rooms and entire resort is very clean. The beach is breathtaking! There are always chairs to choose from. Big shout out to Jose Louis, at the front desk! The nicest man! Always making sure you are happy and well taken care of. If you want to party, you have that choice. If you just Wanta chill and relax, you can do that too! Very relaxing vacation and we will be back a 3rd time

Where can I begin? If we would have really followed every review we read beforehand we would have really missed out on something great. We enjoyed everything from check-in to checking out and really wish we had booked more days then we did. This was for my best friend’s Girl’s trip birthday getaway. It was our first time to a Riu Resort and first time to Punta Cana and it was nothing more then amazing and breathtaking. Yes, I will say the resort could use some renovation but, the way we seen it who really goes to sleep on vacation. But, that’s was our preference. The upside to it you can also, visit and dine at 2 other resorts near by. We only got to visit Riu Palace Punta Cana to check it out to bring the husbands and children for vacation. And what we seen was fabulous. Some previous reviews stated that services was not good. Well, we must say that you as a guest must have been having a rough day because, every pool server, dining server and bartenders was more then happy to assist us and with a smile. And to name a few Alexkayra she was a gem and a very delightful person. Isidro was with us every morning for breakfast always greeted us with pleasure to see us every time. Even with the face covering due to COVID we could tell he was greeting us with a smile. And Domingo along with the other 2 was our dinner servers it was so hard to decide who you would dine with because, they all was so great! We must say we was happy to get to see and visit Punta Cana but, sad to leave the beautiful island so quickly. But, yes Punta Cana Riu we will be back

Incredible all inclusive
Read More
This is probably one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in, and I travel A LOT! The people were also so friendly and helpful. Language was not a problem. My only complaint would be the labels of salad dressings. I am allergic to fish and shellfish. I would ask about any food in question, but no one could tell me which of the white dressings was Caesar and one chef even thought the pink one was Caesar, so I had no dressings on my salad for 9 days!! and I love salads
