Perfect stay at Riu Palace Punta Cana! Gorgeous beach, spotless pool, and delicious food across all restaurants. The entertainment team kept the energy fun day and night. But the real standout was our server Ruby—she anticipated our every need, remembered our orders, and served with the warmest smile. Exceptional hospitality from every staff member. We felt like royalty and are already planning our return.

Worst hotel I’ve ever been to dirty stinky pools the beach stank like old seaweed. The staff only look for tips won’t come up to you unless you tip them. Dirtiest beach I’ve ever seen you can’t even go inside the water. Not a great experience. The food was disgusting.
