Hotel Riu Palace Bavaro

Had a great family holiday whilst visiting for a family wedding, service was great and the hotel is beautiful!

We’ve just returned from our second visit to Riu Palace Bavaro, and once again, we had an absolutely fantastic holiday! Having enjoyed our first stay so much, we decided to return, and we’re delighted to say the hotel was every bit as good as we remembered. The hotel is beautiful, with stunning grounds, fantastic pools and direct access to the gorgeous Bavaro Beach. The refurbishment has really made a difference, and everything feels modern, fresh and well maintained. The food was excellent, with plenty of choice throughout our stay, and the drinks were equally good. Whether relaxing by the pool with a cocktail, enjoying the beautiful beach or spending the evenings around the resort, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. What really makes this hotel special is the staff. Everyone works incredibly hard, always with a smile, and the service throughout our stay was excellent. The resort is kept spotlessly clean, and there’s a lovely, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. We’ve visited Punta Cana several times and stayed at different resorts, but Riu Palace Bavaro remains one of our favourites. There’s something special about returning somewhere and finding it just as enjoyable the second time around. Our 11 nights flew by, which is always the sign of a great holiday. We wouldn’t hesitate to return for a third visit! Another fantastic Caribbean holiday and a well-deserved 5 stars. Highly recommended!
