Nov 24, 2025Damaged belongings
I had a lovely time at this hotel. Unfortunately my Sweatshirt was damaged by bleach in their laundry on our last day and I did not notice until we were on our way to the airport! I emailed the hotel several times and not a single reply back!! Would have made the trip a whole lot better if I now did not have such a negative feeling towards this unaccountability👎🏼

This is our 6th day. I do have to say that the waiters at the theatre are not the greatest. We’ve had 3 waiters pass us
This is our 6th day. I do have to say that the waiters at the theatre are not the greatest. We’ve had 3 waiters pass us. Never asked if we wanted anything. Had to Ask the same waitress twice for my drink. Maybe they need to have more waiters or for them to take care of their specific area. Not impress

Nov 14, 2025The best way to experience all inclusive
Just returned home from Riu Palace. In our opinion this is the best way to do an all inclusive holiday. Not having to prebook the restaurants is a great improvement. We tried Asian, Italian and the Steak restaurant and were all great with Pre drinks at Joes bar. The buffet restaurant also had everything we needed. We enjoyed coffee, cake and croissants at the coffee shop. Because we were in the Palace we could go to all the hotels in the resort so could always have a change of scenery if needed. The other hotels were also great, the food court at Bavaro is worth a visit. Thank you to the man on the Omelette station, he made the perfect Omelettes. Juanna round the pool really looked after us. We had great service at the Cuban Bar from Natalia. All the staff were brilliant but didn't get everyone's name. We've never experienced anything like the Riu Parties... they are fabulous. The weather was perfect everyday. We took an Uber to some beach bars and had a great time at Papaya Bar and Onnos bar. We had room 4021 and yes we did have pigeons on balcony but not enough to bother us. Room cleaning was first class. Our friends were given room 2091 and this had terrible damp issues but were moved the next day so this was resolved. The only thing I would add to the hotel is a beach bar like the one at the nearby Iberostar hotel. We will definitely return to The Palace.

Oct 27, 2025Poor customer service; limited access to areas, reservations needed for everything. Even as a solo traveler. Avoid
It’s a bait and switch, website looks great and they promote services you don’t actually get full access to. You have to book reservations which are limited. Dont recommend.

Oct 26, 2025Relaxing place on a beautiful part of the beach. No seaweed, no animals for safe surf swimming too.
A beautiful location and a well run hotel. Great food options and everything seemed fresh with less overdone flavors or sauces. All restaurants catered to any food restrictions or choices.
