Riu Palace Macao
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
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.
There is of course, the sophisticated atmosphere in the a la
carte restaurants - a Steakhouse and another with
Mediterranean cuisine. The main restaurant El Patio with
spectacular buffets and theme dinners with show cooking with
a Gala night held every Thursday.. La Boheme Lounge Bar is
relaxing for an after dinner drink, before trying your luck
at the Casino with slot machines and gaming tables or
enjoying a show at the Copacabana theater. The Cubano Piano
Bar stays open late for the night owl and also offers 24
hours snacks and drinks.
Accommodation: Beatifully appointed spacious rooms, in rich
polished wood, high quality furnishings, have two queen
beds, ceiling fan, satellite TV, in room save, mini-bar
stocked daily with water, soft drinks, beer and a liquor
dispensor. Full bathroom with hairdryer, balcony or terrace.
