Great property with a lot of good food options. It’s clean and well maintained. The staff go out of their way to accommodate you. The rooms were clean, we had plenty of towels. I wish there were more day to day activities on the resort. I also think they could do a better job at protecting the food from flies.

I recently stayed at the RIU in the Dominican Republic and, unfortunately, my experience fell far below expectations. I booked my entire vacation package online, clearly indicating two adults and two children in the reservation. Upon arrival, however, I was told the hotel had only listed two adults for the room. Despite showing paperwork proving I had paid for four people, I was forced to pay an additional $900 for my children to stay—otherwise, we were threatened with being turned away. This was an incredibly stressful and unwelcome start to our trip. The room itself left much to be desired. It was not consistently stocked with basic toiletries, towels, or even water. I had to repeatedly ask for essentials that should have been readily available in an all-inclusive resort. As for the food, it was just okay—nothing memorable or particularly enjoyable. Having stayed at dozens of all-inclusive resorts, I’d rank this one in the lower 10. The drinks were another disappointment, as they were consistently watered down and lacked the quality one expects from an all-inclusive experience. While the Dominican Republic itself is a stunning destination, and I have always loved visiting the country, this hotel does not reflect the hospitality and standards I’ve come to appreciate elsewhere. I will not be staying at this property again and would advise future travelers to proceed with caution.

The restaurants weren’t up to par. The food wasn’t that great. The entertainment could’ve been better. You hear music all night because the stage is surrounded by the rooms and the staff needs to learn English. I talk to them and they didn’t understand what I was saying other than that it’s a beautiful place

Review: The property and beach were very nice and comfortable, providing a relaxing atmosphere throughout our stay. The food at the cafeteria was also good, with a decent variety of options to enjoy. However, I found it inconvenient that you cannot make reservations for a big party at the restaurants. Their setup isn’t designed to accommodate large groups, and it took over 60 minutes to get our food, which was frustrating. Another challenge was communication. While the staff at the front desk spoke English, the rest of the team did not, which made it tough to communicate. I had to rely heavily on translation apps to translate from English to Spanish. That said, the staff were incredibly warm and always smiling, which added to the resort’s charm. Despite the challenges, their friendliness made the experience more enjoyable. With some improvements in accommodating larger groups and more English-speaking staff, this could be an even better place to stay.

We stayed 6 nights at RIU Palace Bavaro. Received excellent service - especially at the buffet and the steak restaurant! Loved having three double beds in the room. Towels looked a little worn (as a previous reviewer mentioned) and having to keep track of a towel card all week was a minor inconvenience. We had no issues with bugs and had our room cleaned daily and minibar restocked. My family loved the pool bar by the RIUland. We would not hesitate to book another trip to RIU Palace Bavaro.

I stayed there for 5 days. The place is fantastic, the staff is terrific, and the food is excellent. The beach is warm and clean, perfect for adults. My only complaint is how hard it is to get a restaurant other than Taino/buffet or the food court. You have to be ready to eat dinner at 6/7 pm and get in line around 5:30 before the restaurant opens. Because they close very early, like 9:30 pm, and only the elite can reserve their spots on the app. I just wished the restaurant stayed open longer to accommodate more people. The steakhouse is perfect, and the food on Taino is also excellent. My experience at the American Bites restaurant was negative; the small portion and the wait for the food was 1 hour long.

The property was good. I think the food was good and had a lot of options. The staff is really nice, Dominican people are extremely kind I feel bad because i witnessed some of the hotel guest acting rude… definitely an embarrassment. I went for the new years holy day and boy that hotel was at full capacity. The buffet that night was outstanding and the celebration was a lot of fun. I went with a group of 12 people, all family member all ages and there are plenty of activities for all of us around the facility. Beach is good, beautiful water and I did take long walks every morning at sunrise. I’d go back ☺️ make sure you visit the spa… I didn’t know it was so go into the last day lol
