Excursions from RIU Palace Macao

RIU Palace Macao is an adults-only resort on Arena Gorda Beach. Macao is part of its hotel name; it should not be treated as a resort located at the Macao surf-school meeting point.

Know your starting point

Arena Gorda is on the northern Bávaro hotel strip. A coastal resort address is not a boat departure point: Saona normally involves a road transfer toward Bayahibe, while Catalina commonly uses the La Romana area. A Bávaro party boat may be a more compact outing, but confirm the actual marina and the shared pickup route.

Before arranging pickup

Use RIU Palace Macao and confirm its Arena Gorda entrance. Elite Club is a service category within the hotel; neither Elite Club nor Macao Beach alone identifies the agreed vehicle stop.

  • Use the complete property name and, for condos, the development and building shown on your reservation.
  • Ask for the exact meeting point and pickup window in writing; a hotel listing does not confirm pickup service.
  • Check total door-to-door time, boat boarding requirements and the return plan before choosing a day.
  • Tell the operator about mobility needs, swimming confidence and children’s ages before paying.

Which excursions fit your stay?

If considering a Macao surf lesson, ask about transport to the school despite the matching place name. For a quieter couples’ day compare Catalina with Los Ojos, checking group style and total journey instead of assuming an adults-only hotel guarantees an adults-only excursion.
