I should first make it known that this was my first all inclusive resort so perhaps my criticisms are 'par for the course' in the realm of this type of vacation. This is going to be a long review so if you want to skip to the bad I've headlined that area "Some Criticisms" (clever huh?). The grounds of this... More

I had very positive and realistic expectations when looking forward to a recent trip to this hotel. In fact I am writing this review while actually still at the hotel. First off I will state that the hotel building, grounds and facility are beautiful in appearance. The hotel has truly some beautiful elegant art pieces located through out the property... More

I am writing this as I sit on the balcony on our last morning. This is the 4th annual mommy trip with the girls. This was the first time at this hotel, although the past 3 years we stayed at the RIU palace. This is newest hotel here for RIU. On our first night we were in the main building... More

I have to say arriving and especially departing from the Dominican Republic is long and tiring getting through customs/immigration. Just don’t forget your $10.00 per person fee for your tourist visa upon arrival! The 4 star property is... More

RIU PALACE BAVARO REVIEW 04.24. – 05.04.2013 My husband, I, and 2 friends just returned from eleven day stay at the RIU Palace Bavaro Dominican Republic for our wedding anniversary. It was absolutely AMAZING. We booked our reservation based on TripAdvisor reviews, as we have done for other hotels in the recent past. We travel on average three times per... More

From the moment we got to the lobby, we knew we made the right choice by booking this specific resort. Riu Palace Bavaro (don't get it confused with riu palace punta cana) is by far the best resort out of the entire Riu complex. It's luxurious, modern, chic, clean, has an amazing stafff that makes you feel like you're family... More

This was our 5th trip to Punta Cana but our 1st stay at the new Riu Palace Bavaro. The accommodations were excellent. Plenty of choices for your meals but we ate mainly in the main restaurant. These aren't 5 star restaurants, but the food is plentiful and there is always something that we liked. We've stayed previously in te Riu... More
