Extremely inviting . . .  Class . . .  Elegance

Ourlogo riu palace punta cana.gif first impression of the Hotel Riu Palace Punta Cana was that of riu palace punta cana resort 094.jpgopulence, sophistication, and luxury.  Surrounded by a virgin tropical jungle, the magnificent white-Mediterranean oasis named the  Hotel Riu Punta Cana, is a sight to behold!   Upon arrival into the lobby, guests will pleasure in the stunning sights of spectacular stained glass windows, crystal chandeliers, and magnificent dark wood decor, The detailed design of the lobby is incredible.

The Hotel Riu Palace Punta Cana is rated 6-APPLE by APPLE Vacations and is an all-inclusive resort.

Hotel Riu Palace Punta Cana is located on the eastern coast of the Dominican Republic – an enchanted island first visited by Christopher Columbus – a true jewel of the Caribbean.  Dotted with coconut palms and fronting the warm blue sea, this pristine stretch of coastline known as Punta Cana is recognized by those in the know as one of the few remaining places where perfect vacations and one-in-a-lifetime weddings are part of the everyday.  Here, in an environment where white sand beaches, beautiful weather and lush surroundings are meant to be embraced and enjoyed,

The Hotel Riu Palace Punta Cana is a beautiful, new addition that offers the very best.

Highlighted by lush gardens, sophisticated architecture and an unmatched beachfront address, the Riu Palace Punta Cana is an important addition to this incredible Caribbean destination.  Featuring an array of enticing restaurants and superb facilities, this brand new resort is situated just footsteps from five other Riu hotels.  This unique location within the renowned Punta Cana Riu Resorts Complex provides guests access to the Caribbean Street shops, full-service spa, fitness center, Internet café, disco and casino that are shared by these hotels.  Even more importantly, the resort promises guests the highest level of luxury, amenities and personalized service available from Riu.

In our opinion, Riu Hotels maintain high standards of consistency, quality and service.  Riu Hotels are known for consistency, quality and service. The Riu Palace Punta Cana is Riu's newest hotel located in Punta Cana.  The hotel is a nice size, not too small and not too large and it is relatively easy to navigate.

 

The Hotel Riu Palace Punta Cana is a jewel – a polished, shining star sitting in the midst of a virgin tropical jungle . The grounds are meticulous with tall coconut palm trees that lead up to a wide, white sand beach and the most beautiful views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea. A true paradise to behold!

 

The Hotel Riu Palace Punta is sophisticated, polished and ever so elegant. A vacation at the Riu Palace Punta Cana will provide guests the ability to relax and unwind from the stress of one’s everyday fast-paced lifestyle.  Guests can dine on sumptuous meals and snacks from morning to morning!   

 

Guests may elect to start their day with a run on the beach or a workout in the gym.  After that, how about a professional spa treatment in the luxurious new spa? 

 

Late morning, Riu Palace Punta Cana guests may choose to relax by the spectacular pool, or in one of the many Jacuzzis integrated into the pool. Or maybe choose to just spend the entire day on the white sand beach with a pina colada in hand enjoying the soft ocean breeze and occasionally getting wet in the calm, clear, warm ocean.

 

Activities abound, day and night.  Enjoy all the entertainment during the day and into the evening.  One may elect to attend one of the many theme nights, shows, or maybe choose to dance under the stars!  Later in the evening, guests may opt to visit the Disco or possibly the Casino.  You can do it all or choose to do absolutely nothing at all! It is your choice.

 

Punta Cana is currently in a growth process with many new and exciting hotels being built.  The Riu Palace Punta Cana is one of those hotels. We believe that the "new" Riu Palace Punta Cana is a first-class vacation option for the discriminating traveler.
