I ran into James at the Riu Palace Macao and when I saw him it was like seeing a cousin that you haven't seen in a while lol. What's crazy is the energy was reciprocated and he took the time to chat with me and my wife multiple times. This guy is the real deal and does all his work by himself and embodies work hard and play hard. These are honest reviews from an honest person that aren't bought and paid for. 🗣🗣SO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE FOR ACTUAL CONTENT TO KEEP MY COUSIN JAMES GOING !!!!
Great video! Although I'm too old for these parties I still get a kick out of watching these people go nuts. This video should be used by RIU for advertising "IF you like this then come here otherwise stay away". LOL!
Great video brother, always coming thru with the great recommendations!! Yes, i did the White Party and a night beach party at Republica! Fun!! Just as you said!!
I have learned so much from watching your videos. Everyone has to realize that we all like different things. Best Beach...Macao. Best Restaurant on the beach... Jellyfish, Next to Lopesan. I am sure,if I were younger, Rui might be cool!
Great stuff, thank you….the details you provide show your content is original and authentic. Your delivery is like your sitting talking to a friend… be safe my brother
I’d never stay at a Riu , just not my thing at all but will always watch and support this channel and the vids . Looking forward to the next one already 👍
Please go back to Cancun soon. I just got back from live Aqua and enjoyed it. I am ready to go back but need info on the newer ones. Also the excellence properties confuse me
I miss the RIU Party sooo much! I DJ'ed the Pink Party when I was there with the same DJ that's doing the Pink Party in your video (DJ VINNY). He brings that EDM remix vibe perfectly! Hopefully we cross paths one day at RIU bro! Love the videos!
Hey James, first off my condolences for the loss of your dad. I dred the day I loose mine. I see you have new energy in your videos, and i love it. I've been a subscriber for a few years because I love punta cana and have been there 4 times and plan to go again. I love your punta cana videos. Im an Excellence fan and only trust excellence resorts with my money because they never disappoint, and if they do, they make up for it. I noticed you gave excellence punt cana a great rating, but el carmen not so much. I implore you to try el carmen again. Get the club package and when you go to the beach ask for carmen. She's a waitress that is so amazing. I now consider her my dominican mother. She can carry a tray of 10 drinks or more on her head, and her love and attention is out of this world. Im Sorry you didn't have a great experience like I did but maybe it was an off week or something, but I will tell you the vibe at the main pool is always so much fun there. It's not riu party crazy but it's fun. The food, service, and the way the place iluminats at night is impeccable. Go to the hibachi dinner and ask for david if he's still there. he's so funny and humble and such a nice guy. After I went to el carmen I seriously wanted to move to DR just to work there or be near those folks . So much love. I've been to all 3 excellence in D.R and I love them all. I'm just a guy in South Carolina. I don't advertise for them or anything. I just wanted you to know I had a great experience in all excellence resorts, and like I said, they are like family to me now, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. I appreciate good quality and service, and I work hard for my money, and I won't take a chance on anything else. I would do anything to just sit in they're marble lobby of el carmen or the family resort next door and jsit with a good cigar and a signature drink and listen to the sax or violin payer with the acoustics in the lobby and just relax and love life. It's a beautiful experience. My advice would be to spend a week at el carmen to take in the whole experience. After that all the other resorts will pail in comparison but of course you will still visit all the others since that's what you do for us. But just do it for yourself if anything to treat yourself for all your hard work. Keep up the good work, and I'll be watching all your videos. Take care 🙂
I cannot wait to throw down at the RIU parties in September. Hopefully the revamping of RIU Palace Bavaro is done right for me to relax in between parties lol
James wish I would have ran into your videos sooner brother. Just booked at Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana with two of my boys and I feel I made a HUGE mistake! Lesson learned and I’ll try to make the best of it lol.
Good on you for going to the RIU Parties, etc. Other than still drinking copious amounts on vacation, I have aged out of the too loud, too crowded atmosphere of them. ICYMI: I was crushed your 4 day vacation was derailed.
Gauging by your B-roll at least................I feel the NEON Party was the most exhilarating ever-so-slightly eking out the also-atomic JUNGLE Party. Both are absolutely RIGHT up my alley and I soooooooooooo can't wait to get lost in both and somehow live to tell both tales, mwaaaaaa ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaa! 🙈🙉 I absolutely agree with you in eyeing the non-verbal body language in your B-roll before you even offered subsequent commentary.............that the crowd looked spent at the White Party. It's definitely not the fault of RIU at all: you can tell both poured the same amount of effort into providing the experience and potential............but that crowd just didn't carry it probably because of what you said: they had already given it all they got earlier in the week and ran themselves ragged and kind of just pushed themselves to the White Party just to say they did. But yeah: I'm still going to do my level best to find a groove so I can show 'em how it's done there as well, hahahahaha! 🙈🙉 Thanks soooooooooooo much for undergoing this interesting and chaotic experiment for research and recreational purposes, ahahahaha! =)
@Coolist can we access the themed riu parties from any riu hotel in punta cana? I’m looking at February 2025 schedule and thinking Wednesday to Sunday. How good are they at sticking to the party schedule?
People often fly back Sunday and for that reason take it easy on Saturday. Meanwhile, they are full of energy on Monday because typically no one is flying back on Tuesday!
Does anyone know what the weather is like right now in Mexico (Puerto Vallarta)? I went to Cuba last December and the whole trip we got rain.. so kinda hesitant on booking the mexico trip for this mid September.. any advice /tips would be appreciated 😊
@@MrDubb923 You're welcome, whenever you like, I have been to Riu Latino (Mexico) Riu Republica (Punta Cana) the fun is unique at the RIU, if you are looking for a 24 hour party atmosphere go to the Republica it is exceptional in that aspect, but I must mention that the The facilities are nice but the cleanliness of the rooms needs to be improved a little and the food is also delicious and varied but not outstanding, but the atmosphere itself makes everything super fun for people who love parties. The pools are clean and the beach is beautiful with crystal clear waters. greetings
A question nobody seems to ask: How do you get access to the stage all the time? I’ve noticed a lot of times your footage is from the pov of the stage.
The hotel is aware of the reach of his social media platforms and it's free publicity. So they would be stupid not to give him a great vantage point to film.
@coolist we booked Royalton chic punta cana were looking for luxury party resort but seeing Riu Macco im thinking about switching also i see a lot off bad reviews on rooms at chic and riu in new anybody have any thoughts thanks
Did you leave the resort at all? I wanna go to DR but they're racist against Haitians (on the news). But every time I've been... It was cool. Don't know if it's gotten worse but I'm down to just stay on the resort.
I love your videos so much, but the editing really needs to be addressed. Why are the camera filters and lighting so inconsistent? Why is the audio so inconsistent? And the cuts between the commentary is so abrupt it is jarring. I am not sure how it’s possible to be so sloppy when some of your videos from a year ago seem better. Maybe look up some basic editing and a/v tips and you will almost surely improve the quality of your content.
@@Swami-im8oo I hope it didn’t seem too harsh, I’m kind of bad with constructive criticism, but that’s all it is! I really do the Coolist and greatly appreciate his hard work, I do not discount that at all.

Ok so this party content is from Riu Palace? I Jamaica we where above to hope resort for riu. Is it the same in dr?
Can't believe we get this content for FREE! So much hard work on your part, James!! You're the best!!
I’m glad to see the Punta Cana series back
Same!
The RIU parties beat the pool parties in Las Vegas.
Homerun, James! The new editing and feature effects... very well done. We noticed!
❤❤❤Another Great Video❤ Looks like a lot of fun🎉😂 I love a great 🥳 party....especially when it's free😅❤
Epic video ! Your swimwear game is on point !
Great video! Although I'm too old for these parties I still get a kick out of watching these people go nuts. This video should be used by RIU for advertising "IF you like this then come here otherwise stay away". LOL!
I've been to 6 of these over my times staying at RIU, these parties are legit and great time.
Great video! I'll be at the Riu Republica in early-mid September. I'm looking forward to it and the Riu Parties of course
I'll be there in September too🎉
How was it guys
@@JohnStockton7459 I stayed at Riu Palace Bavaro. It was good. Bring Pepto Bismol!
Love to see James rockin the Foamrunners 😂🔥
Lets go! These punta cana videos are amazing
Great video once again!! You should see some of the parties on cruise ships at night! Epic!!!
Great video brother, always coming thru with the great recommendations!! Yes, i did the White Party and a night beach party at Republica! Fun!! Just as you said!!
Thank you for sharing!! I can't wait to go next year!!!

I am sure,if I were younger, Rui might be cool!
Hey James!! I am loving all the content!! Thanks for making these videos and giving your honest and raw opinion!! 🎉
Great vid…makes me realize the mistake I made skipping the RIU parties in Cancun
Great stuff, thank you….the details you provide show your content is original and authentic. Your delivery is like your sitting talking to a friend… be safe my brother
I’d never stay at a Riu , just not my thing at all but will always watch and support this channel and the vids . Looking forward to the next one already 👍
Love your videos, man! Keep up the great work and I look forward to many more!
Kind of look the same other than theme if DJ playing mixup of songs.
All look fun
Will be in Punta Cana in November. Just in time.
OMG someone just spotted you at Riu palace Bavora. I can't wait for your review. You are so awesome 🎉
I love watching all of your well produced and fun videos. However, those parties are my worst nightmare. The pool looks like human soup. 😂
Mr. Coolist, we're dying for you to get back to Vegas!
I always gonna say the same! You have an amazing life
Thanks!
Great job
When will we get new rankings for all the Punta Cana hotels?
Can’t wait to go for Xmas time or new years time of year
Please go back to Cancun soon. I just got back from live Aqua and enjoyed it. I am ready to go back but need info on the newer ones. Also the excellence properties confuse me
Love buddy in the DeRozan jersey
Yes do a few clubs in Cancun
Once again great content. Enjoyed. ❤
We were on the fence about visiting Puta Cana, but after seeing this commentary, we definitely will be visiting!
Recomendadísimo, estuve 2 veces allí🎉🎉

Are you ever heading back to Vegas? I miss your baller Vegas videos.
We’re going to the Macao in a couple weeks…James sold us on it with his content!!
Is the rest of your Jamaica content coming?
Ill be there in a month!!!
Would love to go to RIU...any of them but wife and I are I our 50's; seems like a younger crowd but we could still keep up with them.
3rd... I got to up my game..
I cannot wait to throw down at the RIU parties in September. Hopefully the revamping of RIU Palace Bavaro is done right for me to relax in between parties lol
When we stayed at the Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas we went to 5 Riu parties in 8 nights at Riu Santa Fe
I’m at the new Secrets (Tides) right now! No parties like this here.. 😅😅😅
Hey James, no sax player? RIU had a top notch sax player play live at Republica and the party.

Hi, I have asked questions on previous videos without any answers. What month were you at tis resort?
@Coolist can we access the themed riu parties from any riu hotel in punta cana? I’m looking at February 2025 schedule and thinking Wednesday to Sunday. How good are they at sticking to the party schedule?
So cab to parties? Or does the hotel provide a shuttle service?
People often fly back Sunday and for that reason take it easy on Saturday. Meanwhile, they are full of energy on Monday because typically no one is flying back on Tuesday!
For party rui punta cana or cancn? Also which month best time to go
Does anyone know what the weather is like right now in Mexico (Puerto Vallarta)? I went to Cuba last December and the whole trip we got rain.. so kinda hesitant on booking the mexico trip for this mid September.. any advice /tips would be appreciated 😊
Can I stay at any of the riu resorts and have access to this amazing party ?
Yes

@@ashleys4652 that’s excellent that they recognize us like that bc usually they only appease celebrity types. So yeh. Excellent!
Which RIU hotel in PC is your fav
Looks fun, but kinda reminds me carnival cruise line of the AI hotels
Does it matter what day of the week you go
I'm in ....
How do you take your 3 siestas a day at a place like this?
Which RIU this is ?
Which Riu has the parties?
@coolist we booked Royalton chic punta cana were looking for luxury party resort but seeing Riu Macco im thinking about switching also i see a lot off bad reviews on rooms at chic and riu in new anybody have any thoughts thanks
Did you leave the resort at all? I wanna go to DR but they're racist against Haitians (on the news). But every time I've been... It was cool. Don't know if it's gotten worse but I'm down to just stay on the resort.
THe DJ at riu punta is god awful.
