  • Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities

We booked up for Riu Palace Punta Cana, got inside and the hotel was completely empty. The taxi driver came back to find us and took us to another Riu hotel. No one warned us about this in advance, we just discovered there that we will get roomed to a lower star hotel. Not fair, the food was not tasty and not all the restaurants were open. The beach was dirty and not enough personnel to help with cleaning around.

First-able we didn’t see the hotel we book at all.Only on pictures during our booking. The hotel we booked was closed and we were dropped off in front of a different hotel without having an option.At the front desk we were told that if we don’t like the property we can check out immediately. With two small kids and being in different country we didn’t have a choice. I am very disappointed with your service because no one notified me ahead of time that the hotel was closed. This was my last vacation with Expedia.
