Punta Canada Riu Palace Bavaro Holiday!!!
Read More
Excellent hotel for all types of people looking for a beach holiday. The RIU complex in Punta Cana has a lot to offer in the way of amenities and activities. The staff were incredible and very friendly. Some really went out their way like Ariel in the restaurant area. Lukaluka was excellent recruiting people to go dancing at the RIU pool parties. The food was decent and I believe something for everyone. The best restaurant was Krystal. The buffet in the morning was always good with a fresh selection of food. Just don’t go at peak breakfast time when food runs on the light side. The little cafe that serves lattes etc was the best!! Too bad it opens at 10am. I’d love to see it open at 8am for a nice wake up coffee. The pool looked fine, but never swam in it as I’m a beach goer. It was packed tho. Peak times I noticed no loungers available. The beach… AMAZING. Lots of places to park yourself for the day. Shade or sun. Would of been nice to of have more beach tables. Towel service was great. Always available. The seaweed was picked up in the mornings during sunrise viewing. The beach was clean and litter free. The hotel it’s self was huge and the grounds were immaculate. Very clean and comfortable. The rooms were like living in the Canadian Arctic but was nice to sleep in a cold room with blankets. The cleaning staff always made our rooms clean and tidy. The Pink, Neon and Jungle parties are fun if you’re young and wild. The music is very loud so bring ear protection if you want. The splash was fun but easy to get injured on the slides. I banged my head on the slide where you go round and round like water in a toilet bowl. Families were overall very respectful and kids were happy and well behaved. The music at the pool or beach wasn’t too loud or offensive. Overall I’d return to this hotel and will recommend to friends and family. Thank you Riu Palace Bavaro for such a wonderful holiday

A great resort but bad experience upon departure
Read More
We loved the resort and staff was awesome! Great food and servers! However, upon our departure to airport we had a really bad experience with your taxi service! I had contacted the service that brought us to the resort because we were told the resort didn’t have specific service to use! So the taxi service I called showed up at the time I requested! When we went out to get in the taxi which had a placard with my name and room number on it we we were confronted by another taxi service (Taxi Bavaro Punta Cana Siutratural #323) that said we had to use them! I told them no because I had called this service! They got very mad and began to start a Hispanic conversation with our service and grabbed my suitcase and put in his taxi! I said no because I had made this reservation for a group of 5 and I took my suitcase out of his taxi and he called the manager of the resort! I told the manager that I had ordered this other taxi! He said ok! When we tried to leave the other taxi service blocked our taxi with his taxi’s! Our taxi finally was able to pull away but the other taxi sped up ahead of our taxi and got in front and stopped and another one of his taxis came up behind us so we couldn’t leave! That taxi driver got out of his car and started beating on our taxi and yelling! I stepped out of the taxi and told him that I was calling the police if he didn’t get out of our way so we could head to airport! After a few minutes he finally got back in his taxi and headed back towards the resort! We were really upset and scared for our lives! So we will never come back to your resort again and will tells others our experience! I have couple of pictures I took which shows the Taxi company stopping us and our reservation placard if you would like to see them please let me know! We loved your resort and all the staff but this is something we will never forget! Thx
