I was incredibly disappointed in my stay here. The accommodations were covered in mold and when I brought this to the attention of the property, they would not offer a refund. In addition, the towels at both the hotel and the pool were all ripped and dirty. I will not stay here again.

To whom this may concern, On September 3rd my husband and I checked into our room at Riu palace punta cana to enjoy our anniversary. The smell if the room was overwhelmingly horrible. It smelled like mildew. I checked the bed and the sheets were wet and the mattress had mildew on it. The toilet was dirty, paint was peeling, hair was in our shower. We complained to the front desk. They changed our room so even though we were exhausted from travel we drugged our luggage to our new room. We get to our new room the mildew smell was mild, I can tell they sprayed air freshener. Again we are so exhausted from travel we just wanted rest and decided to stay. First night the fan went out we slept very uncomfortable. The next morning we were enjoying some romantic time together and a worker just opens our door. Very embarrassing and rude. We called room service no one answered. Next day I was brushing my teeth and I seen little bugs crawling all over our bathroom. They were on the counter, on the towels privided, on our toothbrushes, and in my make up bag. I brought sweets to my room set it down for one minute and the bugs were all over my food. The last day of our stay roaches were crawling on our walls. I'm very disappointed in the rooms in general. These incidents have left me extremely dissatisfied with the level of service and quality provided. I strongly believe that Riu has the potential to provide exceptional service and I hope this complaint can serve as an opport

I Liked everything about the property especially the staff outstanding!!!!! Unfortunately the rooms were very damp and humid you could smell the mold in the room. Do not know why that would happen. We stayed an extra night at another hotel chain and the room was perfect climate and as far as humidity there was non in the room. That is something that should be worked on.
