Critic Reviews
After a major, much-needed renovation, this adults-only resort has gone from dowdy to stellar, and it's now the star of the five Riu resorts in Macao. Rooms range from junior suites to full one-bedroom suites, and all have double sinks, flat-screen TVs, the signature Riu liquor dispenser, and extras you don't often find at AIs, including turn-down service.

The adults-only Riu on Arena Gorda beach at the north end of the Bávaro coastline is the best value all-inclusive in Punta Cana, a solid four-star resort at an all-in price barely above that charged by the budget entries (and considerably cheaper than much of the competition). It is actually one of five Riu resorts in this vast, interconnected complex.

The sole adults-only hotel on the five-resort Riu complex, the Macao has a generally upscale vibe that's significantly more tranquil than its sister properties. There's still the requisite poolside entertainment and loud music by the gorgeous, white-sand beach, but couple-friendly amenities (which the other properties lack) include name-brand liquor and a designated VIP section on the beach.
