    Very nice hotel

    Probably the best of the 5 or 6 RIU Palace I've stayed at. The all inclusive is nice but I felt some of the cocktails were more ice than content. Not much choice in beer either. Food was fine but as a vegetarian it was not easy as labelling in the buffet was very patchy - I even overheard another guest asking if a dish was vegetarian, so not just me. The specialty restaurants don't seem to have heard of such a thing, but the Italian did do me a vegetarian pasta on request. The room was very nice and modern and the service good (but I always leave them an extra tip). There were a couple of cockroaches I saw when getting up in the middle of the night (I'm old) but that comes with the climate. (On my last day/night I actually caught and repositioned both of them - yay!) Of the four RIU on this site this has the lowest room count and it shows. Walking through the others they are noticeably busier, especially Bambi and Bavaro with more than double - and kids. The one downside of this site is location - you can't really walk off site to anything, it's tour or taxi.

    Terrible Service and Zero Accountability

    I’m currently staying at this hotel, and the service has been extremely disappointing. I made a restaurant reservation through the hotel app exactly as instructed, but when I arrived, they told me my name was not on the list and that the restaurant was already full. I even showed proof of the reservation in the app, and the restaurant manager just kept pointing at his sheet instead of trying to fix the problem. That kind of customer service is unacceptable. Very frustrating experience, and honestly, I wish I had booked a different hotel.

    Don't pass this one by. Outstanding.

    This is a great property. And we have stayed at many others. Staff is very friendly. Food is very good everywhere. Very clean. The entertainment is great. Rooms are well appointed. There is a loud side of property. We were on the quiet side and glad of it. Casino is small and kind of dark. Didn't spend much time there. Spa was fantastic. Beautiful beach. We booked Elite and very much enjoyed the amenities. We will return.

    Once again, no problems checking-in and we got a free room upgrade, thanks guy's! Although we were only here for a week on this occasion, we found that the staff are all again very good, however special mentions to the pool bar guyJose, Nolis in the restaurant and the entertainment team, in particular Idaury, Karla, Willy and George 1. Thank you guy's and all being well we will see you later this year.
