One of the worst all inclusive hotels I’ve been to. Employees have no hospitality, no customer service attitude, they respond to you like “ it’s not my problem” or like “oh too bad you don’t have water” . Last day the whole hotel with no running water couldn’t take a shower before my flight. They said “ there’s nothing we can do” oh ok so we have to suck it up .. no music or entertainment during the day and the food is cafeteria food. The restaurants their employees don’t seem happy working here they seem to work just because they’re there they have no extra effort . We are not picky ppl but it feels almost like you’re bothering them. we had better treatment when we went outside the hotel to local restaurants and local stores for gifts . Don’t spend top dollar for souvenirs in here it’s better to give it back to the community and spend less money than paying $7for a lighter inside a hotel. Yes, $7 . Carts to take you to the rooms are managed by the same bellmen so “if they want to” they’ll drive to the side of the hotel you’re going . If they’re not going that way they say “ no, wait for another one” . It’s crazy it looks like nobody’s land in here. Manager’s are nowhere to be found, call guest serv they never answer the phone. Our room was dirty from day one we took 2 days to be able to talk to the reception to ask forextra broom to clean it. never called back . Will NEVER GO BACK it seems like the downfall of the all inclusive’s. Go outside the hotel. There’s so much to see

Amazing Resort! We stayed on the Bavaro side. This resort has everything you are looking for and more. Activities, entertainment, 24hr food, adults only sections if you chose, all room locations were terrific, everything was just spectacular. We were in a near beach suite, I would definitely recommend the upgrade if its a special occasion trip, especially for the huge 2 person jet tub and location on the resort. (a constant breeze on your balcony and 2 steps from the beach was incredible) Staff are exceptional and room service and cleanliness was impeccable. The beach is beautiful and excellent for long walks. Again, very safe and plentyof chairs and loungers at any pointduring the day. You could be very social or independent, depending on your type of vacation style. I would recommend grand palladium over and over again! (And a little word of advise, learn a few Spanish words before you go, it will definitely benefit your vacation and assist you around the resort and at the airport, your efforts will be very appreciated) 5 stars without even blinking. Definitely will be returning and will brag about this place! (Also, $35 for a direct ride to the resort from the airport, we saved so much time and it really made the experience arriving at the resort grand)

The staff is outstanding but we got the wrong room the first night, then the jacuzzi tub needed fixed in the other one and we kept losing power in our room for 2 or more minutes at a time. If it wasn’t for the staff I wouldn’t even think about booking again.

The staff was friendly. The resort was very well kept. The beach was amazing. The pools were great. The bartenders definitely don’t skimp on the alcohol. 😂There were some things that could have been better but we were there for the beach, sun and relaxation. Focused on the positive instead of the negatives maybe more people need to think this way.

I stayed at this property around 6 years ago greatest experience that is why I chose to come back for my sons 18th birthday. This passed week has been an experience and I will not come back here. The staff are unfriendly and not attentive at all. We had so many issues that were never resolved. Margarita who cleaned our rooms was the other person who smiled and said good morning each and everyday. She was the sweetest lady on the resort. Will the bartender by the pool at the palace was also the best. He was very attentive and accommodating. Besides the two staff members I mentioned the rest seemed over worked and didn’t want to be here. Now to transportation. This is a huge resort and to really explore you need to have a cart pick you up. To get a cart was absolutely the worst we were told no one was available each and every time. When we asked a driver to stop he said he could not. Overall this experience has not been the best. Beautiful resort and lots to do but the staff needs a lot of improvement.

Great property. Clean rooms and clean beaches. Food was just ok. Lots of variety at the buffets but the a la carte restaurants could have been a bit better. The drinks at the bars were inconsistent (even with simple common cocktails). Only a few bartenders seem to know what they were doing. The staff was not always the friendliest and there was often a language barrier. Some of the front end staff seemed to be annoyed to be there.

The Outside area and especially the beach were beautiful. We arrived about an hour early and were told that our room would be ready at 3, which we expected to be the case. However we ended up waiting util close to 530 to get our room. When we got to the room it was not cleaned. We had towels and trash all over, the trash cans were full, we had no water in the mini fridge, the jacuzzi wasn't clean, basically just a big mess. We had to wait over another hour for someone to come clean our room, then they need help, so we had two people cleaning the room and it took them close to 45 min. to clean it. They did do a very good job though. We finally got some more water after they had finished cleaning. We were sort of tricked in to a sales pitch breakfast. The staff literally told my wife no multiple times when she asked if she could get some ice for her water at meals. It usually took almost a half hour to get water or anything else to drink at the buffets, the wait staff very seldom would give us a refill on any drinks during our meals. My daughter was told no by wait staff, when she asked if she could get a glass to get some juice. Just basically the wait staff is the worst out of any resort that I have ever been to. The food was also the worst food out of any resort I have been to. The drinks were usually not great, don't ask for a Margarita or a Mango Margarita, you will be very disappointed. The Bahama Mama, and Pina Colada were usually good, Rum punch was hit or miss.

Very large, buildings spread to far apart. Has shuttles to get to other resorts that’s all part of the grand palladium group. If raining you’ll get wet going from place to place like to eat. Can eat at other restaurants in connecting resorts. Service at restaurants slow. Buffet items at all restaurants are the same every single day.

Reservations for dinner must be made the time you get there. 5 nights and only one reservation on last night there. Times and what buffets are open and meal times would have saved walking in vain. Start early too. Staff seems to work in tips, so bring $100 or $200 in five dollar bills. Grounds were nice and times we did to eat, food was good. Great place if you like lots of walking, limited times during day with no food options. Definitely will not stay again in any resorts associated with this brand.

The property is very large since it is 3 properties combined. You can walk or use the trains and golf carts that come around. Food was just ok even for an all inclusive. Best food we had was in our snorkeling trip which I highly recommend. Rooms are nice, plenty of space. Room staff was great, always had extra towels and even brought extra snacks and a bottle of champagne and a fruit plate on separate occasions. The staff was ok. Some great, others acted like they didn’t want to be there even after tipping. We brought $1k for tipping for 5 days and used just $300 once we realized nobody cared. I’d definitely go back. Beach and pool area is amazing and weather was great.

First and foremost, this was our second time at this resort and let me just say this, we will not be back. We had to switch rooms THREE times during our stay. We moved from Bavaro to Punta Cana. First time we moved was because the room was dirty and smelled like a public restroom, then we got to a better room, but my husband woke me up killing almost 10 huge cockroaches in our room coming from outside on the bottom floor from underneath the door. Our room phone was not working so I had to call from my cell phone and it took about 30 minutes to get in touch with the front desk and when I finally got through, the lady tried to convince me that they couldn’t move us because it was too late and that she would have someone bring bug spray. I told her absolutely not and 10 minutes later maintenance was at the door with bug spray. As he was in there he witnessed the bugs coming in and he was scared too. Finally, my husband and I went up to the front desk and demanded to change rooms and the man was so rude and upset we wanted to move. Not only this, but the rooms are so hot and muggy at night. Thank god I brought us an 8 inch fan. Food was so nasty and they had cats in the buffet restaurant. The waiters/waitresses were so rude, we barely got anything to drink while eating our food I would have to go ask for it. There’s no way you can walk around the resort because it’s huge. Just terrible.

My experience here at the Grand Palladium Bavaro was not a 5 star experience my room need to be changed due to the toilet not flushing, the AC not working, the Safe needed to be fixed 3 times, it was old rusted and battery not working. check-in was at 3, I was roomed in the wrong room at 4pm and the bed was not even made when we arrived. Our rooftop terrace was not a good view like our check in rep told us it would be so I went back to the front and had to be changed after unpacking after a long flight. I want to thank Jose, he is one of the resorts concierge men who was so helpful, If it was not for him helping us my whole trip would have been ruined. This is not a 5 star resort and if I was expedia I would not do business with them as they give a very bad rep to you guys.The food was absolutely low quality, reservations for dinner were never clear, when we showed up to eat every night for dinner, they never had our reservation. Antonio, the bar tender in the lobby was the best bartender so friendly and welcoming, other than that the liquor offered was very limited and poor quality liquor. they only offer one kind of beer at this resort and bars are far from your room. The casino was so quiet and you can only change up to $10US only if you are playing. room service charges you a fee and most people who work there are begging for tips and giving poor service. Excursions are very limited in this area. I had to spend more money for outside food due to how nasty the food was.

The rooms at the Bávaro resort are in need of repair. The knob on our front door of our connected suite was broken the day we arrived and was still broken on the day we left. We reminded the front desk several times and no one ever came. The one highlight of our trip was Mauro at the pool. Amazing activities director.

Here is my honest review: We stayed in the Bávaro section for six nights 1- Grounds were beautiful and well maintained 2- Beach was gorgeous. It is difficult to find chairs later in the day, I’d recommend getting there early, it’s definitely worth it 3- Property was huge with many different options. There’s ample transportation throughout the resort if you have difficulty walking but I can see how this could be overwhelming for some 4- Food was ok. The buffet in the Bavaro section was definitely sub-par compared to the other buffets. It was difficult to get a cup of coffee in the morning. Staff seemed burned out. Las Torres buffet was a lot better, staff were more on point. The specialty restaurants were ok. El Dorado was disappointing but I doing the Indian restaurant to be surprisingly good 5- Pools were great, tons of options and the bartenders were awesome 6- Nightime entertainment was ok. There’s definitely a lot going on if you’re interested the various shows and activities 7- Rooms need updating but housekeeping did a good job 8- Our room was too hot - 78 degrees - too hot for us to sleep in after sitting all day in the sun. It was a 48 hour battle for us to get this resolved which definitely took away from our time. We were very frustrated and disappointed. The maintenance staff kept claiming they fixed our AC but they did nothing. I had to nearly beg to get our room switched after spending hours with the maintenance staff and front desk.

This resort did not live up to expectations being we stayed at the one in Jamaica and loved it. Our room was not ready on time and when we got in, the dirty linens of the previous guest were piled up in our bed! The roof top hot tub was dirty. I called about it twice and no one ever came it so I cleaned it myself. The worst part was we could not get a single dinner reservation at any of the special restaurants for the entire 5 nights we were there and ate at one of two buffets every single night! They also refused to serve us on the first night because my 7 yr old had a sleeveless shirt on. Will never return here again!
