"We just returned from an incredible 5-night stay at Riu Palace Bavaro in the Elite Club, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations.
The Elite Club experience was absolutely worth it. The Elite Pool was amazing — peaceful, beautifully maintained, and just steps away from the beach, which made it the perfect place to relax all day. The beach itself was stunning, with soft sand and gorgeous turquoise water.
Every single server we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The drinks were made perfectly every time — consistently excellent whether at the pool, beach, or restaurants. It truly felt like the staff cared about making our stay special.
The grounds were gorgeous and very well kept, making it such a pleasure to walk around the resort. There was always something to do, and we never once felt bored. Whether relaxing, enjoying activities, or just soaking up the atmosphere, the days flew by.
As for the food, it was good overall — especially for an all-inclusive resort. While there’s always room for small improvements, we truly have nothing to complain about. We always found something we enjoyed, and the variety was solid.
Most importantly, we had zero issues during our entire stay, which made for a completely stress-free vacation. We would absolutely return to this resort in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing getaway in a beautiful setting!"
