    Perfect stay

    Absolutely perfect stay. Food and hotel were amazing. Would like to thank Guillermina around the pool for being amazing! She couldn’t have done enough for us.

    Great hotel

    Great hotel, great staff and great weather. Food was good. Restaurants top class, our favourites were Rio and Hunter Steakhouse. Best waitress in the world - Guillermina at the pool. Would recommend anyone to stay at this hotel. Book a swim up room as well!

    Our family group arrived with 92 people.

    This is a nice resort that needs to update room equipment. On arrival we had a great VIP reception and were assigned a Butler named Adonis. At every turn, we needed our butler to assist us and he was awesome. The food was ok at the specialty Resturant’s. They may want to do a slight update on the food variety. If you are planning on staying there, get a Diamond Club room for starters. Make sure you ask for Adonis.

    Wouldn't Return, but Incredible Room!

    We stayed at the Royalton Bavaro for six nights for a girls’ birthday trip. While there were some great highlights, there were also quite a few drawbacks that made the experience mixed overall. Pros: (1) The buffet food was consistently hot, fresh, and tasty, though it occasionally ran out of plates. The waitstaff was attentive and kind. (2) The staff overall was friendly and helpful—so much so, we didn’t even realize where the towel stand was until days in because they kept bringing them to us. (3) The lazy river was a favorite. Tip: If you find a float, keep it in your room, they are limited! (4) There’s solid nighttime entertainment, including shows for both adults and kids. (5) Our room was the highlight: a one-bedroom Presidential Suite (Room 14407) with two full bathrooms, a massive balcony, and an incredible full ocean view. Truly 10/10. Cons: (1) Outside of the buffet, food overall lacked flavor, with limited daytime options and restaurant reservations nearly impossible to get. Room service often took over an hour or didn’t arrive at all. (2) Some staff were overly pushy about timeshare presentations. (3) Nighttime entertainment seating was scarce, we often had to sit on stairs. The resort could benefit from adding more seating. (4) Maintenance and amenities requests were slow, including basics like towels and toiletries. (5) There’s only one towel stand for multiple pools. (6) The resort is very spread out—a 10-minute walk from our room to the lobby. Golf carts are available but unreliable. (7) Pool activities start late; aqua fit at noon and not much else until 3:30/4-ish. (8) In-room fridge had no alcohol, only beer. (9) Cocktail service at pools and events was very slow. Overall, while I wouldn’t choose this resort again, our incredible room made up for many of the issues we faced.

    My Butler Adonis was amazing

    First I would like to say my butler Adonis was awesome. He was on point with everything I needed and more. The food at the steak house and Zen was delicious. The resorts is large and all the staff is very friendly. I will most definitely be back with family and friends.
