Fodor's "By night this megaresort decorated with Arabian-style domes looks like a fairy-tale palace and its generally older clientele are a departure from the other Riu resorts in the vast complex." Full review
Star Service "This humongous all-suite property stands out, literally, from the crowd in Bavaro for being four-stories high." Full review

Expect little attention from management for special requests because of the large size of the property, though staffers are as friendly as can be.

Fodor's "A coral reef near the shore makes for exceptional snorkeling and diving. There's also a minigolf course, soccer fields, and a full plate of organized activities, including a good kids club." Full review
DK Eyewitness "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."
Star Service "Bavaro Beach is awash in all-inclusive resorts, but most are so large that it is virtually impossible to walk around the property without losing your breath." Full review

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.
