Punta Cana (Bavaro Beach), Dominican Republic
Standard non-motorized water sports, fitness classes, and kids' programming are included. The Genesis Casino on-site is small but functional. The water park at Royalton Splash is the main activities draw — included for all guests. Motorized water sports, scuba excursions, and off-site trips are extra charge.
Primary pool with an infinity edge looking toward the beach. Busy from mid-morning. Central location makes it the social hub of the property.
Shallow pool designated for younger children. Adjacent to the main pool area.
Available to all guests since every room is Diamond Club. Still less crowded than the main infinity pool — a good mid-morning option.
Pool integrated with the swim-up bar. Gets busy in the afternoon. Best visited before noon.
The major amenity included in your stay. Multiple slides, a lazy river, and splash zones. Plan a full day here — it's a significant part of the value proposition for this property.
Wide stretch of soft white-gold sand on the calm Atlantic side of Punta Cana. Generally swimmable with gentle surf. No significant wave action. Full beach service with loungers. Sargassum seaweed affects the full Bavaro coast seasonally — worst June to September. The resort cleans the beach daily but may not be fully cleared early morning.
Kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkel gear available from the beach. Bavaro Beach has calm water and decent snorkeling off the reef.
Pool-based intro lesson included. Good for first-timers who want to try scuba in a controlled setting. Open-water dives are an extra-charge excursion.
On-site courts with instruction available. Equipment provided.
Organized games run by entertainment staff throughout the day.
Full gym included. Open daily with standard cardio and strength equipment.
Instructor-led group classes including yoga, aqua aerobics, and bootcamp. Schedule posted daily.
Supervised programming for children ages 4–12. Runs set hours — check schedule at check-in.
Dedicated space for teenagers with gaming, social activities, and organized events.
Live shows, themed nights, and poolside activities. Entertainment staff runs the foam parties that guests consistently highlight in reviews.
Adults-only nightclub on-site. Late-night dancing.
Small on-site casino. Table games and slots. Not a major gambling destination but a useful evening option.
The headline perk — included access to one of the Caribbean's largest water parks next door. Multiple slides and attractions. This is what makes this property stand out for families; plan at least one full day here.
Private sessions with certified trainers. Available for an extra charge.
Guided wine and rum tasting experiences. Check at the concierge desk for the weekly schedule.
