Tourexpi
Guests can now enjoy
beautiful decor, new menus and new ideas, notably including Elite Club by RIU,
an exclusive service with perks and spaces designed for guests looking to take
their experience at RIU Hotels to the next level.
The common areas are
now decorated with the sophistication of the RIU Palace line, with the new
style the chain is launching in its renovations and new hotels: brighter, more
open spaces, soft, natural colours, high-end materials and prominence given to tropical
vegetation both in decor and in interior gardens. Two great examples include
the lobby and reception desk, the first spaces welcoming RIU guests with the
new and elegant style. New items include the expansion of the bar and lounge,
to which a second outdoor stage has been added for smaller performances and a
DJ booth, as well as a new RIU Fit area.
In terms of cuisine,
the hotel continues to offer a wide variety of restaurants and options for
guests. In addition to the international buffet, there is an Italian
restaurant, ‘Volare’; a steakhouse; one serving up Asian small plates,
‘Kabuki’; and a fusion restaurant called ‘Krystal’. All of these restaurants
have been renovated with a unique style rounding out the culinary experience.
With this renovation, Riu Palace Macao has added a new Sports Bar that will
serve food and drinks 24 hours a day and a grill area called ‘Pepe’s Food’ with
a Burger Bar with top-quality ingredients in the pool area, which continues to
have three different swimming spaces, including one with a swim-up bar.
All 476 rooms have
also been fully renovated. The new furniture has simple straight lines while
the colour palette is in natural wood tones, beige and green. The style is
inviting and elegant and the decor features plant patterns both on the main
wall and on the glass separating the bathroom from the bedroom. One of the
biggest changes is the implementation of swim-up rooms with a private pool.
These rooms are exclusively for Elite Club by RIU service guests.
The Elite Club
service allows Riu Palace Macao guests to enjoy perks never before seen at this
destination. In addition to the 34 rooms with a private pool, there are another
22 rooms for customers using this service. The Elite Club offers its guests a lounge
area with a bar reserved just for them, an exclusive restaurant offering an à
la carte dinner, an à la carte breakfast at the Italian restaurant, which is
adapted to this service every morning, and an exclusive beach with its own bar
service serving premium drinks for Elite guests.
Riu Palace Macao is
within the RIU Complex in Punta Cano and shares the Splash Water Park, RIU
Parties, Casino, which has also been renovated, Caribbean Street with its
picturesque shops and Pachá nightclub with the four hotels in the complex. All
guests of RIU hotels in Punta Cana will also now be able to use the hotel
chain’s largest wellness centre to date. Taking advantage of the renovation of
Riu Palace Macao, RIU has built a new space dedicated to its guests’ wellness,
beauty and fitness. The new centre has a large gym with all the equipment
necessary for guests to have a complete training session, beauty salon and
hairdresser, and a spa with two water areas, steam baths and up to nine massage
booths. RIU entrusted management of this new space to Renova Spa, its trusted
partner specialising in wellness and beauty services.
The Riu Palace Macao
renovation is in line with the renovations RIU is carrying out at its
destinations around the world, with this one particularly reinforcing the
company’s commitment to Punta Cana, RIU’s first international destination,
established in 1991. The renovation of Riu Palace Macao is in addition to the
renovation of Riu Bambu in 2017, Riu Palace Punta Cana, renovated in 2018 and
the upcoming renovation of Riu Palace Bavaro, which will be completed in 2024
and includes an expansion of what up until now was Hotel Naiboa.
