Jul 03, 2025Change hotels now
Lord it took all my patience to not snap one day 1 , 2 , 3 or 4. Let me say that as an avid traveler I have visited the DR many times in the past 20 years. I am a foodie but understand that culturally sometimes things can be different. Eg. Cheesecake is flan. Let's do the positive first hotel was beautiful, grounds clean, and some staff helpful -less than a handful. Room was nice and must say the maid did clean and did a wonderful job. Cons....staff overall everything was a hustle. Checkin was ridiculous qnd they all push you towards the timeshare rep. Only nice until you tell them know. Golf carts are non existent - don't waste your time. Buffet was horrible. I daw this loosely but it was pretty bad....no theme nights and when they ran out of stuff acted bothered about it. I got my own drinks faster than they did. No customer service. Overall I would never stay again. No real activities coordinator, teens club was a damn joke. I would go back to the Bahihe Prinicpal before here.

Wonderful, relaxing, beautiful
Our family of 5 absolutely loved the Royalton Bavaro resort! We upgraded to the Diamond Club and were happy we did. We met Jesus, our butler, who took care of every detail of our trip. Any question/concerns were immediately addressed. We were able to just enjoy the resort and its amenities without having to do any of the work of figuring it out on our own. Jesus was the best butler! The hotel is gorgeous, extremely clean and modern. We would very much like to go back to the same resort in the future!

Jul 03, 2025Major Safety Concerns
I really wanted to like this place and we read many reviews prior to coming and knew what to expect regarding some service issues or lack thereof in some areas. We are a family with a toddler 22 months old. And we came for his first vacation and planned to spend all our time here since he’s still quite young and take a mid day nap. I could go through all the pros and cons but honestly it’s not needed because the reviews that are here are pretty spot on and if you’re okay with those things. Ex: taking a long time to get your room service, not having a float for the lazy river, having your AC repair take a full 24 hours etc then it may be okay. And we experienced all of this however not enough to ruin a vacation. What did it for us was today ( we still have 2 more days) the baby was down for his nap in the room ( we have a one bedroom suite) we were in the living room changing our clothes and the door swings open. Standing there is of of the bell boys with a cart full of luggage. We he saw us he immediately closed the door. When I opened the door back up there’s a family of 8 people standing there. I asked why they would enter out room initially thinking the bell boy opened the door. When the other guests told us the front desk said this room was available! And gave them all access to OUR clearly occupied room. Now we have had maintenance issues in the room but we opted for them to fix them because moving ourselves and baby again is not something we wanted to do. In saying this we have not moved rooms since we arrived 5 days ago. I can put up with everything else but not this, this is a MAJOR safety concern. They couldn’t tell us how it happened and didn’t seem very concerned about it all. Think long and hard about staying here and if you can still cancel your reservation then do it, as many other people here have said they wish they had.
