Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Loved the palm trees on the beach that provided shade the bedding was two double bed pushed together with no topper to make it a king which is what I booked drinks were average with only one beer choice frozen drinks were watered down. pools were excellent food was average but overall value was ok
Our room was not clean on arrival. No pillowcase on the pillows, hair in bed, the tub had black stuff in the bottom. Door keys didn’t work most days, had to call to get the safe worked on several times, front desk was not very helpful. However, the wait staff was excellent in all the restaurants.

Unfortunately this RIU is run down and really showed the years. Outdated and the food was good but not great. I understand this location will be going through renovations, I can see why. For the price we paid, I was disappointed.
El hotel es más imagen que lo que es en realidad ….la comida en el steakhouse terrible ….pedimos un surf and turf ..llegó frío …la carne vieja y dura sin sabor…👎, en el restaurante italiano se pidió el osobuco y también una carne seca,dura y sin sabor….la comida en sí en esos restaurantes nada que ver , solo felicito al personal de servicio en el Montecristo al igual que su rica comida en el buffet.
reception was average service. The day after arriving we had some lunch in the afternoon just after one hour I started having nausea, I started having vomiting and diarrhea that evening I could not do anything stay in bed until next day afternoon, I call pharmacy and got some antibiotics for bacteria infection it was terrible I believe it was from salad or fruits they did not wash good.next day Saturday afternoon my wife had same symptoms vomiting and diarrhea. I was better and shared my medication over all spend $70 for medications. Other issues is employees don’t say hey or olla or have a nice day in Spanish or English they are rude and constantly arguing with each other.. Next door guest was very loud and arguing with female at 2:00 AM which I reported next day to reception. I never had these experiences in Mexico which I had several trips and been in Rio palace Cancun very polite very good service overall will not visit punts Cana again. Two star is for beach and hotel outdoor. I would suggest management have a boot camp training for employees if in general wish to stay in this industry another suggestion stay away from salad and fresh fruit there is high chances you will get sick. Vey bad !!
