Hotels near Arena Gorda Beach

"The room was great!! My family and I enjoyed the pool outside our room. The staff was great and very welcoming from our arrival and to our departure. The food was great!! I'm going to miss Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. "

"Everything was top notch. Room was clean. Service was outstanding. Our butler, Fernando, was attentive but not overbearing and always quickly radiative when we had a question or a need. Beach was cleaned everyday. Food was really good. No complaints at all. Will return."

"The entire resort is perfect! The hotel, the grounds and most of all the staff! Renovations are to begin April 2026 and we can’t wait to return to see what they have done to possibly make an already perfect place even better!"

"I want to highlight kids club and activities for kids - amazing job and thanks to all ladies in Kids Club and cafeteria who made our trip so special! I must say that “Oneiro” dinner show is one of the most memorable things ever! There’s nothing to compare with - unique and beautiful. I was dreaming and relaxing at the same time! The magic starts here…"

"We just returned from an incredible 5-night stay at Riu Palace Bavaro in the Elite Club, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The Elite Club experience was absolutely worth it. The Elite Pool was amazing — peaceful, beautifully maintained, and just steps away from the beach, which made it the perfect place to relax all day. The beach itself was stunning, with soft sand and gorgeous turquoise water. Every single server we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The drinks were made perfectly every time — consistently excellent whether at the pool, beach, or restaurants. It truly felt like the staff cared about making our stay special. The grounds were gorgeous and very well kept, making it such a pleasure to walk around the resort. There was always something to do, and we never once felt bored. Whether relaxing, enjoying activities, or just soaking up the atmosphere, the days flew by. As for the food, it was good overall — especially for an all-inclusive resort. While there’s always room for small improvements, we truly have nothing to complain about. We always found something we enjoyed, and the variety was solid. Most importantly, we had zero issues during our entire stay, which made for a completely stress-free vacation. We would absolutely return to this resort in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing getaway in a beautiful setting!"
