Wedding January 2025

We had our wedding here. We had some issues with the bouquet and last minute pergola issues. Overall the wedding was great and our family and friends had a great time. The Dominican Trio band and mariachi bands were excellent. The catamaran service, Bebe was excellent and had great service. Our stay in the Bavaro swim up rooms was not satisfactory due to mold in the air conditioning. The location and set up of the rooms are probably the best in Grand Palladium. We were told they were going to be renovated in a year. The restaurants and bars throughout the resort are great, be sure to make reservations asap. All the staff you meet are friendly and are willing to assist however necessary. We especially appreciated Luis Alberto who went out of his way to assist us and our family with all our needs. His service and pleasant demeanor helped make our wedding and trip memorable.

16 days of rest and relaxation as a PTC member. Great beach for walking, lots of pools and activities. Nice large full service spa. Plentiful restaurants. Two interesting excursions, although long days.

The Grand Palladium Bávaro Beach Resort in Punta Cana offers a large, sprawling property that can feel overwhelming. The sheer size of the resort makes it easy to get lost, and even with shuttles available at certain pick-up points, they are not frequent enough, often leaving the exclusive members’ club with empty rides while other guests are left to navigate the distance. The trolleys themselves are outdated, with moldy seats that feel a little unsanitary. The room was decent, but we encountered some maintenance issues, including a broken toilet seat and a TV that didn’t work. The phone in the room seemed like an old, regular phone, which didn’t make it clear how to directly contact the front desk or housekeeping—usually, these would have internal lines, which was missing here. The beach chairs were in poor condition, with missing back pieces, and the food options, while okay, didn’t change much from day to day, which made it feel repetitive. More outdoor BBQ or beachside eating options would have been a nice touch, especially given the resort’s location. Additionally, there was a lack of themed nights or engaging entertainment, which left the atmosphere feeling a bit dull. The pool area was also in need of attention, with cracked tiles and a general sense of age showing. Overall, the resort could really benefit from some updates and a revamp in management to make it a more enjoyable and comfortable experience for guests. The gym was great! Lots of equipment and spacious.

Margarita, Pascual the DJ, Lisandro, from the entertainment crew were awesome. They put on the best shows and make everyone feel welcome. Thanks for an amazing time as always.
My experience

Rooms: 3 different rooms (smell, water leakage) and 3rd time wasnt a charm but refused to move again. Food: Good, don't trust my opinion, I eat from anywhere and any thing. Drinks were the best. Mamajuana is my new friend. Staff: Grace extended to staff who were testy, most were visibly tired and clearly overworked. Grounds: Beautiful. Will I return? Probably not, want to experience another resort.
