Riu Palace Macao

  in Punta Cana Caribbean
Name: Riu Palace Macao
Location: Punta Cana, Caribbean
Type: ALL INCLUSIVE
Apple Rating:
Traveler's Rating:
out of 5 reviews
Description:
The crown jewel of the Rius Resorts in Punta Cana embraces an oasis of hundreds of palm trees, which soar above a silky white beach. This regal hotel parallels the beach,horizontally flowing with the Caribbean, with triangular peaked roof tops, rising towards the sun. It appears as though the arms of the buildings wrap around tropical gardens with statues of mermaids, and fountains in the pool.
The Palace is an established, hotel of distinction. It is elegant yet non-pretentious. It does not betray the natural beauty of the location with overpowering decadence. In fact, it blends with harmonious intention. A unique and wonderful feature is The Caribe Grill restaurant, nestled in coconut palms on the beach, which is like stepping into Robinson Crusoe's world. Wooden slats, intertwined palm fronds, thatched roof and drapped curtains of screening to replace walls, offer a dream-like fantasy. The aromas of grilled seafood , and the view of turquoise sea from every table, make this a very special dining pleasure.
