I had a mix of experiences at the Riu Palace Bavaro. While there were some great moments, especially with the friendly staff and spacious rooms, I also encountered several issues that left me disappointed. The service at some restaurants was lacking, and a couple of incidents tarnished my stay.

Most staff members were kind and attentive, especially Mabel and the waiters by the pool. But I felt ignored at times, especially in the Italian restaurant where service was quite slow.

The hotel is in a lovely area, just a short walk to the beach. However, I found the pool hours really inconvenient, closing by 6 PM and the loud music made it tough to relax.

The buffet had a decent variety and the food quality was good, but often it was lukewarm. The dining experience was marred by the cold plates and limited restaurant hours.

Facilities like the air-conditioned lobby and cafe were nice, but the noise from the cleaning crew was disruptive during the early morning hours. Also, the children’s club had serious safety concerns.
