My wife and I just returned from a 6 day trip to the 5 day trip to the Grand Palladium Bavaro. This was our first trip to the DR, but we have been to other all inclusives in the Mayan Riviera and other beach vacations in Costa Rica and Puerto Rico. I would say as a whole the Dominican Republic... more

Before giving details of the resort I suggest you keep in mind that you need to look at what the other resorts in the Dominican Republic offer before believing you can find a better one for the same price. I read a lot of complaints and believe another resort will not resolve the complaints since the people complaining want more... more

We always find it amazing that the reviews can be so different from each other. My wife and I stayed at the GP Bavaro in March of this year and liked it so much that we returned in Nov (20-27)2008. Although the weather in November was not as good as it was in March our experience at the resort was... more

My partner and I stayed at the Bavaro between 10-24 November. We had been to the DR last year and absolutely loved it so were looking forward to going back this year albeit to a different resort. Our intial impression was not great as checking in was lenghty despite there only being a few english couples arriving at the same... more

We are 30-somethings on a romantic escape. We've been to the Caribbean 8 times, DR 4 times...and have travelled extensively. We go for a little R&R and BBB (Beach.Bar.Buffet.). We were at the GPB from November 15 to 22, 2008. Hola senorita, uno pina colada, por favor! We flew cramped on Skyservice and booked though Air Transat Vacations - Club... more

Me and my partner visited the Grand Palladium Bavaro 13-21st November and it was worth every penny and more. The hotel is beautiful, staff are friendly, a perfect romantic get away. Didn't realise how much you would get for all inclusive, you get all the drinks and even the al a carte restaurants which were all superb, the only thing... more

Huge resort since it is formed by several hotels. Works as any other All inclusive hotels I've known. Food: Food at the buffet was better than the average buffets I know in this kind of resorts. Liked the Mexican restaurant the most. Loved the system they had of giving you a disk which would warn you when your table was... more

I just returned from this place!!! The place is really really beautiful. Unfortunately there are some concerns that I would like the administration would take care of. 1) Place and grounds. Really nice. 2) Food: It is o.k. considering it is an all inclusive resort. After six days you start missing your own food. I would like to try more... more

A bit of background: Four of us (two couples in our early 30's) from England travelled to the Grand Palladium Bavaro on November 3rd, returning November 18th.I will write the review in sections to cover everything!! Check in: this was ok, we didn't get an arrival party as most guests did, but we were only a small drop off, the... more
