Riu Palace Punta Cana
An introduction to Riu Palace Punta Cana
The newest addition to RIU's Bavaro family, the Riu Palace Punta Cana is as grand as they come. There are fountains in the courtyard. Back-lit stained glass ceiling panels in the lobby. And chandaliers, chandaliers and more chandaliers. Everything about this hotel screams glamour - in fact, it's flamboyant enough to give Liberace a run for his money. Just take a look at that pool. There's a fabulous swim-up bar and no less than four adjoining whirlpool baths. What's more, the sun terrace is dotted with elegant linen parasols and cushioned sunloungers - perfect for lazy days in the sun.
The bedrooms are rather special too. Get ready to sink into your hydro-massage tub. Enjoy some quiet time in the sunken living area of your room. Or sit back on your private balcony and soak up the view. The hotel also gets a big tick in the location stakes. Tucked right on the coast, it leads down to a spectacular stretch of white sandy beach. Backed by gently nodding palms and lapped by azure waters, it's like a scene from Treasure Island.
And as you would expect, the activities on offer are in keeping with the dreamy surroundings. Steer a course through sparkling waters on a sailing boat. Make a beeline for the spa and prepare to be pampered. Or learn to dance like the locals at a poolside merengue class.You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining, too. Not only are there sumptuous buffets but you can also reserve a table at one of the themed restaurants. Madly lavish and trimmed by a beautiful beach, the Riu Palace Punta Cana really is in a league of its own.

Continued from previous review.
The watersports were a disappointment as the organisation and staff were not always good. If you haven't sailed or windsurfed before you need to pay $25 for a lesson of sorts before you can go out. ... more on this review
