My stay at Grand Palladium Bavaro was outstanding, especially for my honeymoon. The swim-up suite had breathtaking views and lived up to the promotional images. The dining options are plentiful, with great food, particularly at the Indian restaurant. However, the wait times at some places can be lengthy, and transportation within the resort could be more frequent. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I'd gladly repeat.

The resort is stunning with beautiful grounds and a pristine beach. However, my stay was marred by various minor inconveniences and some serious issues in the room.

Our family chose this hotel because of its food allergy protocol, and we were extremely pleased with how well they accommodated our son's dietary restrictions. The staff was attentive and we had a great time enjoying the beach and pools. However, our teenagers found it difficult to connect with others their age, as the teen club was often empty due to some mismanagement with wristbands. Overall, our trip was enjoyable, but we faced some hiccups during our stay.
