The room was very clean and comfortable. The Staff was able all the time to help and give good service. The restaurants highly qualified,delicious food and excellent presentation. The bar staff and swim-up bar perfect with the service and the preparation of all different liquors and cocktails. Would like to be there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

The Hotel itself is beautiful. Great views and beach. However tons of seaweed and what bothered me most were the flies all over the food. I hardly ate because of how disgusted I was. The food could've also been better.

The hotel is very large and beautiful, and the staff provided excellent service throughout our stay. The overall atmosphere was great, and I would definitely recommend it. The only negative aspect was the room, which had a noticeable musty smell. The food was very good, although there is still some room for improvement. The pool could probably use a bit more maintenance, but considering the large number of guests, it’s understandable that it may not always look perfectly clean. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and would recommend this hotel to others.

The resort itself is great. The Bach was fantastic along with all their pools. One massive downside was the food was not that great. The staff was decent. With how massive the resort it bound to have good and bad staff. Not as family oriented as it may seem. You will have people there that are there to party but again. Massive resort wasn’t a problem for us and our child but just be aware.

I’ve been to this resort three times, most recently just three days ago, and overall we had a pleasant stay. I really like this resort—the new look is much improved compared to two years ago, and the staff were friendly and provided good service. However, the breakfast buffet felt a bit underwhelming this time. Something seemed to be missing, although I can’t quite put my finger on what it was. It was better about 3–4 years ago. Dining overall was still good, but the meat dishes were quite dry and could use improvement. That said, for the price we paid, it was reasonable, and we still enjoyed our stay.

Amazing vacation experience! We had such a wonderful stay at Riu Palace Bavaro. The resort was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing and fun vacation. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the food had plenty of options, and the pools and beach were absolutely amazing. We especially loved the entertainment, activities, and the overall atmosphere of the resort. The location was perfect, with a gorgeous beach and beautiful grounds to enjoy every day. Our room was comfortable and well taken care of, and we appreciated how much effort the staff put into making our stay special. This was a memorable trip for our family, and we would definitely recommend Riu Palace Bavaro to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing all-inclusive vacation. We can’t wait to come back! 🌴☀️

First time at RD and was not the best at least at the hotel the customer service of most the employees was not the best like everyone was telling me and the food was just ok same as we have here on any restaurant at SC I went to a very high level of food and service but honestly was very disappointed. We have a buggy excursion and was the best thing we did very nice experience and the food that we had on the beach was amazing best food that we have on all those 4 days that we stayed on the hotel.
