Hotel Riu Palace Bavaro - All Inclusive

We had a perfect holiday Arrived and were given a pool view room in 6800 area - Room was clean spacious and well serviced and the air conditioning was amazing ! Waking up due to jet lag there were some people in the pool in the early hours but you could not hear them from the room - only if you were out on the balcony . Breakfast was plentiful and always a great choice , coffee brought to the table and staff were attentive but respectful. We had our pick of sunloungers and went to the adults pool most days - if you were that way inclined then you wouldn’t have to move as staff made regular laps around to serve you drinks . We did venture into the swim up bar but it just wasn’t for us but also respect that for users of this pool - that is why they had come on this holiday . Food court had fantastic choice & great location . Beach area on our visit was clean and well maintained- 2 days of seaweed but then it was clear . We found that the Rui staff were all accommodating- if you wanted anything they would oblige and if you didn’t they would leave you and it appeared that they respected each holiday maker Some people would leave cups etc round the pool and this I think is a reflection on them rather than anything you could criticise staff for as staff would be round so frequently checking if you needed anything around the pool . Restaurants- we ate at a few and never had an issue getting a table but it could be tricker if you had a larger group. The buffet restaurant still had high standard of food The weekends do get busier but nothing that disturbed our holiday . We loved the coffee shop and cocktail trolly in the loby We wanted a relaxing holiday and that is exactly what we got and we would recommend the hotel in a heartbeat
