Concierge "Fifteen gorgeous, cheery yellow villas—decorated by none other than D.R. native son Oscar de la Renta—are spread along the beachfront of this posh gated community."
Fodor's "Shuttered French windows that open to grand vistas of the sea and a cotton-white private beach are hallmarks of this luxury-villa enclave." Full review

"Designed by Oscar de la Renta, the 30-room Tortuga Bay hotel offers amazing service." Full review
Lonely Planet "Famous for its part-time residents like Julio Iglesias, Oscar de la Renta and Mikhail Baryshnikov, this discerning and quiet resort is also notable for its environmental efforts." Full review

Three-story buildings with newly modernized rooms line an average beach, which, like Club Med, sees seaweed mucking up the sands but offers miraculous water, and there are six restaurants to choose from within the 60-sq-km complex as well as a Six Senses Spa. Unlike all- inclusives, however, lunch, dinner and drinks aren’t included in the rates.
Star Service "A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, this boutique-hotel has established itself in the very top tier of hotels in the Caribbean." Full review

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.
