Villa Verde Holidays

The resort is beautiful but getting worn down which can be seen in the chipped paint, the quick patch work here and there. However, that did not impact our stay. Our room was so much bigger than expected and very nice with two queen beds and a huge separate sitting area with balcony. However, as expected in humid climates where the a/c turns off when exiting the room, the room smelled stuffy and moist. Ask for a dehumidifier (they arranged for one immediately) and after a day or so the smell was completely gone. The beach is beautiful, the staff always smiles, the buffet had plenty of options, the restaurants were great, the pool was so fun with music and activities. It was a great vacation.

The hotel was truly enjoyable

Very clean and family friendly. The buffet has lots of options for every pallet. Waiters for drinks and meals at the pools and the beach. Activities for adults and kids all throughout the day. Beaches were cleaned and groomed and guarded. I felt safe

The rooms were clean and nice. All of the staff was very friendly and nice. The main thing that we did not like was that from check in to check out, we were hounded to buy in to the program or buy their products. When we said no, I feel like we were just dropped. They were not helpful with our requests as soon as we said no.

I have been to newer RIU properties for eg RIU Ocho Rios in Jamaica and it was beautiful there. But RIU Punta Palace is nice too. But not as new as RIU Ocho Rios. Still enjoyed my time because the staff was wonderful
