Punta Cana hotel rooms a the Barcelo

"I had a great experience at Riu Palace Bávaro. The service was excellent, and the staff was always kind and attentive. Everything was very clean, and the amenities were really good. It’s a very family-friendly hotel, perfect for kids and for enjoying a peaceful time with loved ones. What stood out the most was how safe and comfortable the place feels. Overall, a wonderful stay and I would definitely recommend it."

"We were on the 3rd floor and our AC was set to the lowest temp of 15 degrees Celcius, however it was very hot in our room and it felt like 75 degrees. Our toilet wouldn’t flush for the first 48 hours, but thankfully the staff was able to fix it. On our last night the resort experienced a power outage around 5 am cutting out the air conditioning. Other than these few hiccups we had an amazing stay! The beach was by far the best amenity. The buffet wasn’t great but the restaurants were fantastic (just make sure to make a reservation). Staff was very friendly and we made friends with many staff members! The resort grounds was gorgeous and very well maintained. We had a wonderful stay and would visit again!"

"My stay at this hotel was overall very pleasant. The cleanliness was acceptable throughout the property, and I appreciated that the common areas and rooms were consistently maintained. The staff truly stood out—they were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist, which made the experience even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was the 24-hour bar offering fresh food at all times. It was incredibly convenient and added great value to the stay. Additionally, the kids’ areas were excellent—always secure, clean, and supervised by friendly staff, which made it a comfortable environment for families. Overall, a solid experience with great service and family-friendly amenities."
