Our family vacation to the Grand Palladium Bávaro Suites Resort & Spa was a major letdown. Unfortunately, the resort did not live up to the images or descriptions presented online. The condition of the room was unacceptable—outdated, poorly maintained, and in need of serious repairs. The shower drained poorly, the TV was damaged with black lines across the screen, and the air conditioning was inconsistent—either freezing or not working at all. Despite multiple requests for service, these issues remained unresolved throughout our stay. The "online check-in" feature was useless—it took a long time to complete and we still waited 30 minutes at the front desk upon arrival. Communication was also a challenge, as the representative we were directed to could not assist us effectively. Dining was another disappointment. The buffet options were basic and lacked variety. Even attempting to make a dinner reservation was difficult, and on our final night, a confirmed reservation was lost, leaving us waiting nearly two hours just to be seated. The most frustrating part was being pressured into attending a lengthy sales presentation disguised as assistance, which took precious time away from our family. Overall, the resort needs significant improvements to its facilities, service, and guest experience. This was not the relaxing vacation we expected or paid for.

I really enjoyed my stay with Grand palladium Bavaro Suites. Maintenance of property is excellent. They made sure enough staffing in place every 50 meters radius. Also the villa staff at 18 ( Bavaro ) fixed few maintenance issue for us. Beach was 100 meters walk from our place and it was beautiful view. Pools with bar was so excellent that you could have drink on the pool ( amazing experience). Staff were friendly and most of managers knew English. Lobby restaurant for buffet was good. Would like to call out Juan Jalpay , Expedia concierge who have made reservations for the restaurant, modified them when requested and made necessary arrangements for buggy transport from villa to lobby.

Somehow, having booked with Expedia, we became targeted for Pallidium timeshare sales. I had read how incredibly helpful the Expedia staff were and misunderstood this to be an attempt to provide elevated service. A lot of promises were made and not delivered. The general disrepair of the facility (outlets not working, A/C that wouldn’t cool, long waits for room housekeeping) required many requests that often went unanswered. If you want to eat at the nice restaurants GET RESERVATIONS right away. And you DO want to eat at those because the buffet had a lot of unrecognizable food served at concerning temperatures. The pool area was beautiful and the service was always very good but getting a chair there became an event based on first come-first serve and I didn’t want to get up early just to get a pool chair. Island beach, amazing weather, helpful staff (waiting on you etc) made it a vacation I needed. In its day I think this resort was probably quite nice. Now I would advise people to stay in the “newer” areas to sleep and come to the Bavaro section for recreation and nightlife. Don’t even waste a minute looking at the casino.

I always hate reading these reviews before I go because I always think people are so petty with their complaints, but some of these are spot on. I’ve been to DR 3 times and this is my least favorite resort. When people say it’s old, it definitely is and the rooms show that, but nothing drastic. We had a toilet leaking everywhere and told the housekeepers who did nothing, but when I went to the front desk they had someone there within 10 minutes. The housekeepers come more frequently than most of the complaints and they do a good job. My biggest complaint is the reservation system for dinners is a nightmare. They want you to download the app which is fine, but if you have more than one room in your party you can’t use the app. So then you have to go to guest services and wait for at least an hour to get to someone who can help you with what you need. And my other complaint would be that we felt like we had to tip, literally everyone. Money talks and the only way we got good service was tipping. I don’t mind tipping at all, but we kind of felt like we were expected to every time we got a drink or went to the buffet or did anything. Also, this place is pretty big and it’s a lot of walking. They advertise a shuttle but you could wait 20-30 mins for that and it’s quicker to just walk. I really wouldn’t say it was horrible but I probably wouldn’t go there again.

Having stayed at many all inclusive, this one will go down as the worst. We do a yearly trip with 16-20 people every year, unfortunately 4 out the 16 this year got food poisoning, spent a day in they’re rooms violently vomiting, the rest with had bad stomach cramps and really bad diarrhea ruining many of the groups days since they couldn’t travel far. We’ve all run into diarrhea at all inclusive but not this bad with cramps and it is clearly due to the food on the resort. The food was horrific and due to the issues with our friends we were all cautious when selecting anything We tried the Mexican and steak house which were the better of the meals we had, the Argentina rest we walked out of as it took 45 to get our food and when it did show up was so rare for what we ordered medium rare. None of the staff were friendly at the service bars or smile. Some of them around the pools were better but the lobby bar staff is so slow and disorganized. I found the Punta Cana lobby the best even though we were booked at the bravaro We upgraded to the roof top room with the jacuzzi and bed. The room it self was fine but definitely not worth the upgrade as we turned on the jets and hair all came out, our other friends it was full of bugs when they turned there’s on so none of them were used. The group is talking about going to the palladium in Jamaica next year since a few have done it but I can say I’ll pass on any Palladium property. They are going to kill someone with there food safety
