Situated in Punta Cana, this area of shallow water is worth a look. But you'll find loads more to check out in this area. Bavaro Beach, Downtown Punta Cana, and Cabeza de Toro Beach aren't too far away from Bavaro Lagoon.

This property was ideal in its layout and proximity to the beach. However the beach was not what I was looking for in-terms of pristine condition due to excessive sea weed,no fault to the hotel. The distance from most of the rooms to the restaurants could be a bit far but doable for most. I enjoyed the quietness and peace I felt during my stay. They could improve on their entertainment when compared to other resorts I have stayed at, overall the food options were decent and there was a variety to choose from. There is a good balance when it comes to family activities. Overall a decent resort and would recommend.

What I like about this Riu Hotel are the pool, foods and we can visit to all Riu Resorts. The beach is disappointing because there is to much seaweeds around, we didn’t enjoy swimming to the beach at all!
