“Riu Palace Bavaro strikes me as a solid choice for families looking for an all-inclusive experience where convenience meets fun, with its multiple pools and kid-friendly water slides standing out. While some past guests felt the cuisine didn't fully represent local flavors, the resort's proximity to the beach and availability of activities like tennis and golf suggest a balanced vacation. Overall, I think it's a reliable option if you're prioritizing ease and entertainment over a deep dive into Dominican gastronomy.”
