That is a good question I am not sure they were any deeper than that - the recreation staff ran a lot of games in them and I recall there were a lot of smaller kids using both of the deep pools that were near the beach

We had a room that had a balcony overlooking the courtyard. Initially we were disappointed we didn’t have an outside view but we realized these rooms overlooking the courtyard are really sheltered from the noise out on the street

@@larrymathieson5985 that’s exactly what I needed to know, thank you! Will book a courtyard room then :)

@VKat the roof top is great - and there are lots of great eating places within walking distance

@@larrymathieson5985 that sounds super convenient and exactly what I’m looking for! 😊 It’ll be our first time in PDC so being centrally located and able to walk around is a must! We will do a few nights here before going to a typical all inclusive resort in Cancun. For PDC I want a hotel that is still 5 star but affordable and from your video, this looks perfect 👍🏼

Thanks

This trip was near the end of April - we also went to Dreams Macao Beach in this area this past January both were pretty good times of year to go to Punta Cana

It is not very long- you start hitting the edge of the town site in 15- 20 minutes walking up the beach - another 10 minutes or so of walking takes you as far in as the Bucerias sign

It was really quite good- we like to go to Mexico as much as we can so we’re thinking Mexican in the DR it can’t be too authentic -we were pleasantly surprised . And the service was top notch

Enjoy your trip it is a great resort

The preferred status gets you into the breakfast and lunch restuarants as well as a special pool and a private lounge

@@larrymathieson5985 thank you!

My pleasure. Are you heading to PV for a vacation ?

The family rooms were bigger nicer and newer. They were great when our kids and grandchildren were with us. The pool areas were great. We didn’t use the adult pool at all. The adult rooms were much closer to the buffet and the beach. They did have the monkeys too. That is hard to compete with

@@larrymathieson5985 thank you for your reply, your videos were a great help and very informative.

It is pretty safe. We walked down to the nearby grocery stores. PV is a cab ride away but we did quite a bit of walking around. The Malecon is pretty busy at night lots of people and families walking around. We did quite a bit of walking around the romantic zone at all times of night and day. Be safe and stick to areas where there are a lot of people around

I hope you have a great trip. We really enjoyed our time.

What date you going? Am also going in august 10-17.

2nd until the 13th

It was when we were there. I think it still is part of the all inclusive package but I could be wrong.

I don’t recall now. Sorry

Yes in ideal traffic over the last two trips to the resort we have realized time of day can make a huge difference in taxi/Uber time to PV One of our unfortunate trips was over 2 hours from the resort to the Malecon. Mosts\ trips to or from were somewhere between 20 and 40 minutes

I know you will have a great time. Enjoy your vacation.

I don’t remember how much the cab was. The front desk told us how much was standard. Cabs on this side are way way cheaper than the Cancun /Mayan Riviera side

Enjoy your trip

The Palace Pacifico is closest to Bucerias

Going there in one month from now. June 5th, 2024.

Have a great trip

@@larrymathieson5985 thank you.

We went in October - the seaweed was not too bad. They did a lot of work on the beach. We enjoyed the resort and did lots of long walks on the beach. You can walk for miles

You will be one of the first to experience the new Reno’s. Let me know what you think. I don’t remember what kind of beer they served

The entertainment area is a nice open air venue. Our son and law took the older kids to the show one night and he said it was great. The kids got photos with the performers

We were there in October -the week of the 17th

My wife would agree that modernizing the furniture will not hurt

Thanks!

It is incredible. Can’t wait to return

We were at the Riu Palace

Well technically in Mexico it is illegal to have a private beach as the constitution gives access to all citizens to all beaches. In some cases it is difficult to access a given beach without going thru a resort -but this beach you can walk for 29kms - and there are plenty of places to access the beach

Okay -that is a good point. I thought it was a deterrent

It is an amazing location. Enjoy your trip

Yes it is really worth the day trip. We really enjoyed ourselves as well

I think it was Privileged junior suite. It wasn’t yet renovated with the modern furniture. However the ‘privileged’ feature gave us access to everything and the access to the BLoved restaurant alone was worth it

@@larrymathieson5985 oh yes I have learned from my all inclusive travels to always upgrade. Totally worth it to me! Thanks for responding so quickly even though it’s an older video. This resort is at the top of my list for July, so I’m binge-watching reviews on it! Thanks for yours!

@@dawnweissling5623 we loved it. We went years back and had to return. It is a smaller resort which we like and it really has quite a following of loyal repeat guests. There are a few Facebook groups the majority of the comments seem to be from raving fans

I hope you have a great vacation
