Returned From Palladium Bararo last week, we had read some of the mixed reviews on Trip Advisor - after we booked and although some were very critical we went with an open mind and looking forward to a great holiday. Travelled with Thomsonfly out of Manchester, England, in their Premier Class cabin, excellent service, great legroom and comfort and a... more

Hope this helps... Weather:amazing, even with the threat of "hurricane season" it only rained one day but the rest was unbelievable! Food: 9/10...very cheesey, great selection, great quality/quantity, dont count on good sushi if you're a sushi lover like me... it's not the same.... but all other theme nights were awesome! Sports bar has the same selections though : pizza(awesome)... more

Grand Palladium Bavaro Resorts & Spa Beautiful, gorgeous resort, if the food was good it would be GRAND. Stayed 8/13-22. Only rain on Friday during the tropical rain storm. You would think that there wouldn’t be anything to do- but they brought some of the outdoor activities inside – Spanish, dancing lessons and games. There are lots of activities to... more

Firstly, i would like to say that like you i read all the reviews before my trip to the Grand Paladium Bavaro and felt it important to share our recent experiences at the hotel too. My husband and I (27 yrs) booked this trip as a last minute holiday for our first wedding anniversary through Thomsons. We are well travelled... more

I stayed at the resort with my family, we had 44 in total. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms large and the beach is one of the best and cleanest I have seen. All was great except the restaurants with the exception of one WILL NOT allow men in without long pants. This is so rediculous as hot as it... more

This was our first time in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. And it was beautiful. We arrived at the airport; I swear we almost overshot the runway. It is a very short runway and the Airport is very small. But it didn’t feel overcrowded like most airports. Security was a breeze, and when you are waiting to turn in your visa... more

Hola, This will be a summary of our trip to Punta Cana with the occasional comparison to the Grand Palladium Riviera Maya. I wanted to get things down on paper, or cyberspace as it were, while they are still fresh in my mind. Who am I? I am a 51 year old American male from Forest Hill, MD, which is... more

This resort came highly recommended by our travel agent, and we were thoroughly impressed. It's not perfect, but it's definitely a beautiful resort with clean rooms, immaculate landscaping, excellent food, and an amazing beach. Some of the slightly negative parts we would be: -sports bar is pretty pathetic -reception staff isn't incredibly helpful -nightly entertainment was very good, but a... more

we are a group of 3 young couples age 24-37 who went to this resort in February 2008. Before going we read all of the reviews and did our research. Other than a few little things, our week was great! We booked through Transat Holidays who actually hire westjet as a charter. we were provided with a boxed lunch on... more
