My new husband and I, along with 15 of our friends and family members just returned from our stay at the RIU Palace, Punta Cana. I will break down this review into sections, hopefully you find this helpful when deciding where to stay!

Pros: great for groups, access to other resorts, good food and drinks
Cons: hard to get a seat by the pool
My FI and I recently attended a friend's wedding here and we had a GREAT time.  The bride and groom were also thrilled with the service and their wedding.   What I loved about this resort were a few things One big pool with booth type seating makes it easy to find people most of the time.  Also great for all lounging together during the day.  Some people sitting on the edge, some in the pool, but we could all chat and felt like we had our own little area. FREE Wifi in the lobby.  Love
