This is my first trip to the DR and I was very excited after I booked the vacation at the Palace... Based on the pictures, price and other reviews I was stoked!... At first glance the palace is everything it claims to be, however, it didn't take long for that image to change. the food is very good but hardly... More

My boyfriend and I needed a quick but romantic weekend getaway. We didn't want a typical all inclusive. We found exactly what we were looking for at the Palace! The hotel staff greeted us with a fresh juiced cocktail and gave us a tour of the hotel grounds which were both stunning and impeccably clean. When we arrived we were... More

Just got back from a great trip at The Palace. The hotel itself is gorgeous, the rooms are very large, extremely clean and well maintained. While the beach is small, it is private and relaxing. The staff here is amazing as well, very helpful. Not much of a nightlife scene, however plenty to do during the day. We went to... More

This is not a real "hotel" but a private mansion of an american-indian doctor that was transformed into a hotel very recently. My guess is that it was transformed into a hotel not for gaining money but for opening the house and paying the expenses. Therefore it is a fantastic experience being there and we had the chance to spend... More

My wife and I stayed at the Palace (also called the "Balaji Palace" locally) from in April, 2011. We stayed in a Royal Ocean Front Suite, without a Jacuzzi. As soon as you walk in, the first thing that strikes you is that room is gorgeous. Beautiful decorations and lattice work, luxurious silk curtains, and well made furniture. The room... More

We honeymooned here last fall and were pleasantly surprised by how this place was not at all like a cookie cutter resort. It's intimate, the grounds are beautiful, and the staff is amazing. Both the day and night staff were friendly and great company. We even had a night out in some of the neighboring towns with one of the... More

The service, location, staff and the hotel was more than I expected! The first thing, I had to call the hotel, since the gates were locked! This is for security purpose. The welcoming was great. They welcomed us with drinks. Took our bags. We had to wait for the manager to give our key to our room, however, we were... More

We have been back in New York after a five day stay at The Palace. This is not a place for anyone needing a high level of external stimulation. But it is a place for anyone who is looking for the perfect place to turn down the "noise" in their busy lives and reconnect with the natural beauty and friendly... More

We really can't say enough about how beautiful the place was or how genuinely kind the staff was at this hotel. But it stops there. The "palace" is exactly that, a private Taj Mahal style mansion built around ten years ago and only in the last year has it been rented out as a "Hotel" They really sold it as... More
