This resort is a definite recommend. I loved everything about it. The food options were amazing. The workers were very attentive and fluently, so naturally the service was the best. There are many pools and easy to get drinks. I will say that the beach was filled with seaweed, so the water doesn’t look as pretty but it’s still not bad. I believe the resort was renovated last year, so everything is really comfortable.

Overall the Rui Palace Bavaro is a beautiful property and location. Beach: The beach location was very well kept with plenty of chairs for visitors. Pools:There were plenty of pools and chairs, at any time of day. Elite Restaurant/Bar: The elite club locations throughout the resort were very clean and well maintained. Restaurants: The restaurants were okay. Downfall was the long lines to get in, even with a reservation (elite members could make reservations at all restaurants, but there was no line for elite members) Room Service: Room service offers a decent variety of foods and was very quick with the delivery. Swim Up Pool: The pool was somewhat small and only 3.5” deep. (Would definitely recommend you bring a blowup float if you select this type of room)

Overall I made the best out of my stay at Bavaro but I did not enjoy my stay here. The food at the buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner was terrible. Sometimes when they seated you it took 15-20 mins just for them to attend to you and pour water for everyone. The other dinning options on the resort were just as bad except for the steakhouse which provided flavor but limited options on the menu. The best meal I had was off the resort at this seafood restaurant a few minutes away, very flavorful and many options to eat. The staff is what made me rate this resort one star, none of the staff are friendly or even look to greet you. Some of the staff look miserable to be there. They complain about the tip you give them not realizing their service is poor and rude. They also talk bad about the guests not caring who speaks Spanish or not. The activities by the pool were fun and the music was enjoyable that made you want to dance. If you choose to come to Punta Cana I recommend you choose any other resort but Bavaro.

We booked a long weekend. The staff were so very helpful. The room was clean and the food was delicious. My son wants to go back so we will. I recommend.

First time going to a resort with my family, and this resort exceeded our expectations from the hospitality and staff to the cleanliness and food, everything was perfect. I will definitely be back!! And recommend this place to everyone!!! Everyone was so nice and welcoming made you feel very comfortable. The entertainment at night was beautiful and so enjoyable. The pools and beach was amazing, so clean and fun!!, the food was amazing, enjoyed all of our cocktails hahah!! This place is amazing!!! Can’t wait to come back!

Once we landed I had a prearranged ride to the resort which the driver didn’t understand English and he argued with us, saying Riu in Punta Cana dropped us off at the wrong Riu resort finally a taxi took me and my wife to the right one the guys in the lobby were yelling a lot at other guests there about the luggage goes in the corner which the wrong resort was giving me and my wife juice in check in line then we go to that one lol checked in at 6pm we landed at 3pm found definitely a male testosterone issue with some guys there at check in but once we finished that it was very easy to find are hotel room it’s mapped out very well with numbers and the rest of the staff were amazing on the resort I’m definitely going back hopefully they can teach the hotel stuff in the lobby to be more welcoming, coming

Is a very nice groomed and cared property, well established. Clean rooms, normal size , nothing extravagant, but nice. Food is good and we had some variety days at the buffet during the 5 days stay, for sure you find something good to eat. They had the best tasting fruits I had in a long time. Waterpark is a plus for families with kids . Beautiful beach and nice shady areas for fun activities. Definitely worth the money.

They treat you like family the minute you walk in. Everyone on staff and in the restaurants remember you if you’re staying for more than a couple of days, including which beverage you like for breakfast lunch and dinner! Impressive the the volume of people throughout the resort daily! The food was very similar everyday, but the options at the cafe/food court were great!
