This was our second time going to a Royalton resort and I can say for sure we will keep going with this chain! The resort is spotless and people were always working to maintain it. Rooms are very clean and spacious, they did have a bit of a damp smell but that is to be expected in such high temperatures. There was absolutely no shortage in loungers, they have 3 large pools (diamond club included) plus 2 kids pools. There was also plenty of umbrellas or shade. The lazy river was one of the highlights of the week, it was amazing and huge! We spent a lot of time in there :) The food was very good, I was a little worried after not having heard good things about DR food but it tasted just like the Royalton in Mexico we went to. I can't comment on entertainment as it is not our thing, we were too tired at night after being out in the heat all day. Our butler was Michael and he checked in with us everyday, he is very kind and did his best to make any request happen. The beach is amazing, also no shortage of loungers on the beach. It was a little rough when we were there but it made for some awesome waves to jump into. We went Nov 1-8 and it is their off season, if we went back I do not feel diamond club is necessary. If we went in prime winter months I think it would be good to have. I will point out a few dissapointing things: we booked diamond club so we could have breakfast as Oceanside each morning instead of the main buffet but it was closed everyday due to the volume of the resort. You have to look at your TV to see what is open and closed each day and plan your meals accordingly. If its not busy I can see alternating each place daily but to just have it closed totally for breakfast was very frustrating. The take away pizza grill was also closed all week and scoops ice cream and coffee shop was closed by 5 which is also frustrating as my kids wanted ice cream after dinner and my husband wanted a coffee, this was again due to the volume of the resort. The employees are all pleasant and provide good service, I did find that compared to Mexico it was not as good but it was still fine. Regardless of any frustration I would come back to this resort, I would just know for next time to maybe not come in lower season when everything is not fully accessible. There is lots for kids to do, lazy river, waterslides, mini golf, surf simulator, playground, basketball nets, air hockey, ping pong, pool. As we were diamond club we got access to Memories Waterpark, we went for a few hours one morning. The kids loved it but there was so much to do at resort we did not make it back a second time. All and all this resort is amazing, you will not be disappointed. 7 days is not nearly enough time in this paradise!

those employees are there only play with their cell phones and no one cares about what you need，highly do not recommend here，don't ruin your nice vacation with royalton bavaro. me and my husband book the romantic dinner at the beach and the food are disgusting, sea food pasta were dry and not eatable. don't waste your money.
