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.

Riu Hotels and Resorts Minimize

"One of the most important aspects of Judy & Maria’s is several times a year; these women visit oriu logo.jpgur, all-inclusive destinations to experience firsthand every new detail Riu has to offer. We appreciate their regular trips to our properties because we think they provide Judy & Maria’s with a deep understanding of the charm, amenities and unmatched level of service that make Riu Resorts truly special.

By knowing their product offering first hand, a recommendation by Judy and Maria goes beyond the simple “brochure sale”. Currently, Judy & Maria’s regularly send their clients to our Riu Resorts in Jamaica, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. As we prepare to open new properties in Puerto Vallarta, Montego Bay, Mazatlan and Costa Rica, we know they will be among the first to visit and promote these exciting new Hotels.

We look forward to a strong and continued partnership with Judy & Maria’s and hopes that they will remain one of our top Riu Partner Club members for many years to come."
