Location
Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the Grand Palladium Bavaro Suites was a mixed experience. The rooms had a musty smell and some maintenance issues but were spacious. The service was a bit hit or miss, with some staff being welcoming while others seemed disinterested. The location was beautiful but had its downsides, and the dining options were mediocre. However, the facilities were well-maintained and decent overall.
I was pleasantly surprised by the size and cleanliness of the rooms, but I was a bit disappointed by their dated appearance. The hotel staff worked diligently to assist with our needs but were not receptive to helping us recover stolen items. The location was bustling and industrialized but well-maintained, with lovely pool areas and cabanas. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities met expectations.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and exceptionally friendly staff. The location was perfect, offering easy access to the beach and impeccable grounds. Although the dining experience had some room for improvement, the overall experience was fantastic.
