    Excellent All-Inclusive Family Vacation

    We had a blast on our first time in Punta Cana staying at the Royalton Bavaro. The beach, the ocean (perfect waves for fun), the pools, lazy river, splash pad, and service were all excellent. Breakfast at Oceanside was amazing, the teppanyaki restaurant was also outstanding, and the other restaurants were pretty good as well. The rooms were very nice, and the staff were all excellent. We had the diamond package, and so I have to give special recognition to our butler, Darleny. She was absolutely superb to the extent that our kids wanted to buy her presents before we left! She assisted us with multiple scheduling items and questions and was always so friendly and welcoming. She really went above and beyond when my wife got sick at the beginning of the trip (not food related, and she brought it with her from the plane). Darleny personally made sure soup and crackers were brought to the room, and assured us with getting the hotel doc on sight. 10 out of 10- Darleny was the best! Also, Roberto was amazing with service by the pool and beach, and Fernando was equally excellent with his team at the beach. Too many Miami Vices and Blue Hawaiians to count! These guys were also amazing and deserve special recognition. Finally, Bileysis was one of the best waitresses we have had anywhere and we were blessed to have her for breakfast and lunch every day. Super friendly and always ready with coffee and mimosas! We will be back to visit again! One recommedation- Diamond club is worth it in our opinion. The pool and beach are great and our butler was the best. We do think it was money well spent.

    Wedding trip was awesome!

    Overall the resort is very nice and clean. It's a bit humid in the room so make sure to buy those dehumidifier tub. Lazy river is a must go, the beach is clean and beautiful. The reservation for restaurants is a bit hard since you need to stay awake until midnight to be able to book for the say after and we were 37 people and you can only book a table for 4 per room. Luckily we had a butler Darleny that managed to book for 10 people at each restaurant. She went above and beyond to book the restaurant so we don't need to stay awake until midnight or fight to have a table. The only thing is when we arrived at the zen à la carte, the person in front were rude, I get that we were late of 15min but we didn't need that rude attitude from her and the food weren't good. I wouldn't recommend zen à la carte, we ended up going to the buffet. Grazie restaurant, food was good but my friend didn't get his appetizer and waited forever to get his main meal. We finished eating and then his meal came to the table, the portion were also small so we ended up going to the buffet right after. There is one server Fredery, this guy was the highlight of this resort. He does party with us since we always end up in the buffet and were always last to leave. Fredery is very nice and a hard worker. We would be there until they close and the next day early morning he would be there waiting for you and bring u all the drinks u want. Miha our wedding coordinator was also exceptional. She made sure that everything run smoothly and was there for us every step. On the wedding day she was there helping us and kept everything in order so we would have to worry about anything on that busy and stressful day.

    Great Holiday

    BEACH - PLEASE READ It really saddened us as a family to see so many Iguanas, parrots and monkeys exploited on the beach, whilst many guests were not engaging in it, many where with no thought for the poor animals, some looked in poor health iguanas looking lifeless/possibly drugged parrots must have had Wings clipped to not fly off, monkeys on leads being pulled my the neck. PLEASE THINK TWICE ABOUT BEING PART OF THE EXPLOITATION OF THESE ANIMALS. Ask yourselves how these have they ended up in these peoples hands (Post it to look cool on your Instagram, in reality your follows will think you are a ****) XMAS AT THE ROYALTON. WOW what can I say, we had a fantastic time, we went to escape the madness of Xmas and didn't expect too much, In reality it felt more Christmasy than if we stayed at home in the UK. The Xmas eve gala was FANTASTIC the food/displays were wonderful, they had santa & his elves as part of the show and on Xmas day Santa came and gave gifts to the children. The staff work extremely hard and all very happy. The hotel is well layed out, it is large so if you are by the beach the main restaurant/entertainment is a 10 min walk. There are restaurants and bars along the way. Room was clean and had everything you need, good hairdryer, Iron/Steamer, safe, free minibar, bathrobes, I'd like to see large refillable bottles of shampoo/Shower gel rather than lots of little bottles in the future. The food was lovely and plentiful throughout the stay (Just need more spoons out, this drove us a bit mad sometimes resorting to eating ice cream with a fork as had to keep asking for them for soup, cereal & ice cream) The hotel don't have straws so a good idea to take reusable ones if this bothers you. I thought it was great to see they are cutting back on the waste, but shocked to see dozens of balloons released to the sky, knowing these would just end up in the ocean so defeating the object of no straws. The entertainment was good especially the Michael Jackson show. The music quiz is worth going to in the score bar, it was a good laugh to just watch if you don't want to take part. There is lots to do from crazy golf, pool, lazy river, Teens area and lots of activities. We booked Saona island classic with TUI rep which was under £70 each, compared to 125 USD if you booked with Royalton, but we only got 2 hours on the beach then a 30 min swim stop pick up was 07:30 - RTN 19:30 so worth checking comparison.

    Best Butler in the world

    Our butler was fabulous. His name is Ramone for example we took a trip to Santo Domingo and it took all day. We did not get back in time for our dinner reservations at 6 PM so I texted Ramone and he changed our dinner reservations for later, ramone is the best butler in the world

    THE WORST and only GETTING WORSE

    I travelled and stayed at this resort 7 years ago and just recently returned from this absolute disaster of a vacation. The service has completely deteriorated since inception. Everything is in need of a revamp and the staff and upper management staff just brush you off when you bring up valid concerns. The hallways in certain areas absolutely stink of feces and my parents room smelled the whole time we were there. Dont even think of calling the front desk to request things that are broken they dont even show up. The food quality has also deteriorated. Stay away from this resort as this is an honest review. This is an honest 3 star resort.
