Why guests rent mobility equipment at Riu Palace Punta Cana
- 676 rooms means long corridors and paths. Depending on where your room is, getting to the main restaurants and the beach can mean a long walk several times a day.
- Four pools and five bars are spread across the grounds. A mobility scooter lets you choose where to spend the day instead of staying close to your room.
- Arena Gorda is a long beach. The beachfront path is where a scooter or wheelchair saves the most effort; the sand itself is not suitable for any wheeled equipment.
Getting around Riu Palace Punta Cana with a wheelchair
In our experience delivering to resorts across Punta Cana and Bávaro, some resorts lend a wheelchair for a special occasion, for a couple of hours at most and never for a whole stay. The resorts that offer this have very few chairs, so availability is limited. Ramps are usually available in the main areas, but steps are common too, often right beside the ramp. Elevators serve the upper floors. Staff-driven golf carts, where a resort has them, run fixed routes and cannot be called on demand.
That is why we recommend arranging your own equipment before you arrive. Read our full guide: Do Punta Cana resorts lend wheelchairs?

Can I borrow a wheelchair from Riu Palace Punta Cana?
Only briefly, in our experience. Some resorts lend a wheelchair for a special occasion, for a couple of hours at most and never for a whole stay, and they have very few available. For daily use you need to bring or rent your own.

Can I use a mobility scooter on the beach at Riu Palace Punta Cana?
Not on the sand. Scooters and wheelchairs work on the resort’s paths, decks and indoor areas. Use them to reach the beachfront, then walk or get help for the last few metres.
