Offering more than ever before, Riu Palace Bavaro has reopened on August 31 after extensive renovations and invites your clients to its amazing new facilities and experiences on beautiful Arena Gorda beach in Punta Cana.

The sixth property to offer the exclusive Elite Club by RIU, this elevated all-inclusive experience is perfect for those seeking more distinction in an idyllic setting. Elite Club privileges include premium room locations; access to an exclusive lounge and designated beach orpool area; exclusive premium drinks at select bars; an upgraded in-room liquor dispenser, minibar with a bottle of wine, upgraded room service menu; an exclusive breakfast and à la carte dinner restaurant; and dinner reservations through the RIU app.

Even clients who don’t opt for the Elite Club will enjoy amazing new experiences. All rooms have been fully redesigned in modern style, and new Friends & Family rooms for up to 4 guests feature up to three beds plus a sofa bed—ideal for groups of friends and families.

Guests are in for indulgent and diverse dining experiences, with an incredible 32 all-inclusive food & beverage outlets. In addition to a new food court, American Country offers all-American favorites 24 hours a day. From abundant buffet breakfasts with live cooking stations to a variety of local and international cuisine for lunch and dinner, there’s always something to please every palette. The Krystal restaurant offers à la carte fusion cuisine, while Asian, Italian, Mexican, and a steakhouse add to the à la carte dining choices. For a unique experience, Elite Club guests can enjoy an exclusive restaurant. Room service is available 24 hours a day for those who just want to relax and dine on their private balcony or terrace.

Daytime activities abound at 11 amazing pools, including a children’s pool with slides and a large adults-only pool with sun loungers and umbrellas. Active travelers can work out in the fully equipped gym and partake in organized activities onsite such as beach volleyball, snorkeling, paddle surfing, kayaking, and more. A massage or special treatment at the relaxing spa ($) is the perfect end to a busy afternoon. Save with a resort credit on stays of 3 nights or more.

Youngsters 4 – 12 will have a whale of a time at the upgraded RIULand Kids Club with a cinema, cooking classes, and water games area, allowing parents free time to relax under the tropical sun. What’s more, guests of all ages enjoy free access to Splash Water World.

The White Party, the Jungle Party, the Neon Party, and the Pink Party each offer a unique musical vibe created by DJs, complete with colorful and electrifying live entertainment.

Encourage your clients to time to leave the resort and experience more of what Punta Cana offers with amazing optional excursions offered by Amstar™ DMC, commissionable to you when booked before arrival. Guests of Riu Place Bavaro also enjoy full exchange privileges with Riu Palace Punta Cana and Riu Bambu in the mega Riu complex.
