"One of the most elegant family-friendly all-inclusive hotels at Playa Bavaro. ... It offers sumptuous accommodations. Eleven restaurants span the globe, and nightlife includes a disco and casino."

If guests so choose, they have access to the facilities of the other two properties (Grand Palladium Royal and Punta Cana resorts), adding to the value, and a shuttle ushers them around the grounds for those who prefer not to walk.
