Judy and Maria's First-Impression of the Hotel Riu Palace Macao
The Hotel Riu Palace Macao is sophisticated, upscale, and luxurious. The grounds are lush, tropical, and well-groomed. Upon entering the Riu Palace Macao's lobby one immediately notices the exquisite European decor of the resort -- a large polished marble floor with dark wood furniture upholstered in bright fabrics, chandeliers, Persian carpets, artwork, and tropical floral arrangements. Guests arriving at the Riu Palace Macao will have a very satisfying perception that they have made the correct decision in selecting the Hotel Riu Palace Macao.
