Dec 03, 2025Beautiful Resort but not the most friendly service
The resort and the beach are beautiful, the amenities are abundant. I highly recommend doing Diamond Club when staying at a Royalton - having a butler is a huge advantage (Thank you, Kelvin!), as well as the additional dining and pool options. Bartenders Alexi and Walkidia were a lot of fun! Housekeeping was excellent! Now for the reasons this was only a 3 star review... The food itself was the least impressive of all the resorts we have stayed at. The service while dining at any self-seating restaurant was inattentive and slow. Staff weren't rude but most were not friendly either. We arrived before checkin time, and no one gave us any information about how to use resort credits (so we lost them) or oriented us to the room or resort, just dropped us off in our room which was not stocked and did not have many of the check-in amenities as described for our room. Service at the pools or on the beach was minimal, unless you paid for a cabana. The sales pitches were endless, both on resort and on the beach - They did not like to take No for an answer, especially on the beach and the "local market" sales people set up on the resort premises. Mainly being approached every time you were walking around or finding a lounger somewhere got really old really fast. The app was incorrect about restaurant hours which was frustrating. Overall, we had a great time and got to spend a week in the sun, so I hate to complain, but we will find another place to spend our money next time.

Dec 03, 2025Regular stay to Prime Member
To be totally honest when we first arrived we were not happy there were things we asked for and never received. It was difficult to make a dinner reservation etc. I suppose as we get older we expect things to be a certain way. We upgraded to Prime Diamond Club and everything changed but I wouldn’t want it any other way. Ask and you shall receive that’s how it works of course not without paying but we did not work hard for nothing. We were given a personal butler who honestly becomes your best friend. Jesus was a gentleman. Very respectful and accommodating. We celebrated our daughters birthday and on short notice he had balloons, confetti, a banner and cake for her private birthday celebration at the steakhouse. We can’t wait to visit all the Diamond Club properties around the world!

Butler service was amazing
The resort has a nice location and the pools and common areas are well maintains. The real highlight, what makes the stay most memorable, is the butler! We stayed for 10 days and had the best butler, Gerlyn. His smile and true desire to assist in making it a wonderful stay are unmatched. He checked in on us regularly, looked for us on the property throughout the day to ensure everting was in perfect, dinner reservations, room decorations for our celebrations. What a treat to have someone to pamper us.

Great family all-inclusive resort and vacation.
The Royalton Bavaro hotel and resort was an excellent experience. The rooms were big and comfortable and nice. The staff did an excellent job stocking the mini fridge. The resort restaurants were excellent with lots of good food and plenty of variety for a week. The photography studio was excellent and professional and provided some good photos for us. I would highly recommend the diamond club status at the resort. It provided some very nice perks the best of which were the butlers that worked with us all week and made our stay amazing. Jesus and Joel were amazing and went above and beyond to provide us with an excellent experience. They helped us make reservations and made sure that we had poolside chairs at the diamond club pool. We took 11 people and had five rooms and all of the rooms were great. We would go back again. There was nothing at the hotel resort that we had a complaint about. The one thing I would recommend is that you take plenty of USdollars as they are not plentiful and the Dominican pesos are the primary thing that you get out of the ATMs. Everyone takes US dollars but they are not easy to find.

Nice Resort, but the Food Ruins it.
The resort was beautiful and we enjoyed the amenities. We upgraded to be a part of the Diamond Club, and I’d say that was definitely part of what made this a 3 and not a 2. The butler service was unimpressive and the rooms were fine. The service in the diamond club lounge as well as the upgraded alcohol was definitely worth it. The food was absolutely horrible. Like, some of the worst food I’ve ever had. I’ve been to quite a few all inclusive resorts before, so I know the deal— the food is for the masses, I should not expect anything. Multiple people in our group got sick. It absolutely took away from our experience, which was a shame since it’s a beautiful resort. We definitely won’t be returning.
