My boyfriend and I (early 20s) just returned from a 5-night vacation at the RIU Macao and had a fabulous time! This was my second trip to Punta Cana (previously staying at the Iberostar Punta Cana). We had booked through Apple Vacations, which included a transfer from airport to hotel (word of warning - once you collect your baggage and... more

I stayed a the Riu Palace in Punta Cana, Dom Rep from June 20-24th, 2008. Do not be alarmed by the drive to a beautiful resort. The local scenery was very dirty and unattractive. However, the resort itself was very beautiful. My first impression of the room was clean but smelled like mildew because of the humid climate. Everything in... more

This will be a pretty long one (sorry)... but I utilize Trip Advisor so much and appreciate details details details... so here we go. We stayed at the RIU Palace Macao 05/08/08 through 05/14/08.

My wife and I returned on June 16, from eight nights at the Riu Macao, with no good memories. We encountered a few problems from the very start. The first room they gave us was really messed up-with various broken things throughout the room. We were able to change our room within the hour, but the second one had problems... more

We stayed here from 36th May - 9th June. The hotel was faultless . We couldn't have picked a better hotel I'm sure. We moved rooms after the first 2 nights as the air con wasn't working and the 2nd room was much better. The staff are lovely, happy smiley people who can't do enough for you. look out for... more

This was my third stay at a RIU resort, so I am a RIU fan; however, this was my first negative experience. Let me start with the positives: Overall the resort was nice. The food was good and plentiful, the beach and grounds were beautiful and well-kept. The staff were friendly and helpful. Caribbean Street and the option to go... more

Wow what an amazing holiday! I cannot believe anybody could possibly find anything to complain about when it comes to the Palace Macao! The food was awesome, massive amount of different main meal choice every evening in the buffet and the ajoining restaurants offered 3/4 choices each. The staff where incredibly friendly and couldn't do enough for you. We reported... more
