Room was clean, the safe was broken in suite 0138, sunglasses went missing. The buffet food wasn't that great but everything else was amazing. Beautiful resort.
Great amenities and great service, even when the hotel was sold out, the staff was always happy to help us find a table wherever we were, and the fact that you can go to other Riu hotels is a plus
I have been to newer RIU properties for eg RIU Ocho Rios in Jamaica and it was beautiful there. But RIU Punta Palace is nice too. But not as new as RIU Ocho Rios. Still enjoyed my time because the staff was wonderful
The hotel grounds beach pool were beautiful, the rooms were average, beds not that comfortable, low grade finishes in bathrooms and rooms, the restaurants were average, but the food buffet (breakfast dinner) was excellent with plenty of variety. Hotel staff friendly. New years eve Party was family friendly and a 10! Very fun and lively and free for guests. went on two excursions. Scuba caribe snorkelling was great. Overall good experience.

Your typical all inclusive resort. Nice beach access. Pools are nice. The water park isn’t convenient. Staff could be trained better.

staff was very helpful and polite. Food was great, but we had couple of issues one the bathroom door had a crack, and rooms were clean but seemed a little old and couple of nights the fire alarm went off but otherwise we had a great time.
