Riu Palace Bavaro - All Inclusive

The food, locations, and shows were amazing.

The resort was quite good!! Delicious food and facilities. The lady that clean our room was sooooo nice and kind and every day left us a detail like a flower or some arrangement in our room.

The people were kind and caring.

The hotel was exquisite, the room was extremely big, with 2 large beds which were very comfortable, with a double sink in the bathroom and a walk in shower with a separate toilet. To my surprise there was also your own mini bar, the fridge was replenished every day with bottled water and pop. The facilities were amazing soo many restaurants to choose from, all offered lovely meals, the buffet was also amazing and champagne was offered at breakfast. All my children loved the food, which is unusual for other hotels I’ve stayed in. The entertainment was 10/10, with dancers and a huge outdoor area with plenty of seating to watch the entertainment each night, you had staff who would bring your ordered drinks which saved going to the bar. The staff were also very friendly and got guests to join in with dancing. The resort also offered a RIU pool party on 4 separate occasions which was themed, a coach transport was included in this to and from the hotel with dancers on the coach building up the atmosphere, the pool party was incredible and there was the option of visiting the nightclub also after the pool party, which again was great if you love to party. The beach was very clean with a beautiful warm ocean. There was sellers on the beach selling items but if told not interested they were polite and left you. The pools were all lovely and had pools with a sunken bar, an area where there were slides which was fantastic, however children do have to be a certain height to use these. There was also a lovely children’s pool area. All snacks available in the afternoon were all so good, with such a huge choice, my daughter loved the dessert shop and the aesthetic of the whole resort was amazing. This hotel was absolutely 5* with a luxurious feelin how the staff made you feel to all of the facilities, there was nothing I could fault at all, I would 100% recommend this hotel and the price I paid for 2 adults and 2 children for 6 nights was phenomenal.

Riu Palace Bavaro is not just a 5-star hotel....but more than that, a fabulous oasis where magic happens... Every morning the sun rises in a pink glow with a fluffy halo of clouds....you take a deep breath and the salty aroma of the irresistible Caribbean Sea enters your body...while you're having breakfast with fruits that have gathered the sweetness of this heavenly land and drink fragrant coffee...your room is transformed - shines with cleanliness and coziness, thanks to the fairies, who with hard work and attention to detail are always there, smiling, humble... there are all the other magicians - the impeccable gentlemen and ladies of the reception, who find a solution to every question and turn every wish into reality, there are also the tireless, smiling and hospitable - bartenders, waitresses and waiters, in whose eyes you discover legends of long-gone times, of exotic culture and romantic caribbean stories... You can stay by the pool and listen to dominican music and all you want with a cold cocktail in hand or head to the beach full of energy. On the way you find yourself in a cozy grove of coconut palms, some barely showing their tender leaves from the sand caresses your skin as you admire them, and others rise majestically like guardian giants of a fabulous beach that lures you with the gold of its sand and the turquoise immensity of the sea...The sun plays hide and seek in the leaves of tall palm trees and when it kisses your skin you are ready to dive into the embrace of the sea - you want this moment to last forever....the beach sends you off with a cocoa tan and a flight of seabirds that swim in the sky, leaving a sense of timelessness....
