The Royal Suites Turquesa by Palladium

Arrival: January 23 - 30 Air transat, 1.5 hours late leaving YYZ but we made up 40 minutes in the air. Very comfortable flight on an A310-300. Private transfer was prearranged by Bronly from IBK Servicios and we were at the resort within 30 minutes and an hour ahead of the bus. Rooms: Room 5148, third floor facing the ocean, very clean and comfortable Junior Suite. Room had lots of towels and condiments at all times. Service from the maid was excellent, we did try the Butler service and got new pillows promptly but we were a... more

This resort was excellent. The Grand Palladium has four sets of hotels in Punta Cana: the Bavaro, the Palace, the Punta Cana, and The Royal suites. We stayed at the Palace the first week and moved the the Royal Suites the second for our honeymoon. The resort was excellent. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Food was good at the buffets. The pool bar buffet was a little hit or miss but the others were good. We at at almost all the ala cartes, and the were really good with the exception of the Spanish (subpar service, not the... more

This review is much belated, but since the Royal Suites finally have their own section on tripadvisor, I figure I'll write up a short review. We were there last year in December and had a great time. When we first checked in we were orginally given a first floor room, but I asked to be moved to a high floor. In about 3 hrs we're moved to the 3rd floor. We had only one incident where I screwed up locking the safe and had to wait a decent amount of time for someone to come to get it open. Food: Overall the food was excellent. We ate... more

We useally dont write reviews as some of our vacations are perks, but as this one wasent, we decided to write one. Just returned from a great 6 day stay at The Royal Turquesa. We booked our trip through US Airways Vacations. It was the first time we didn't use a travel agent and we were a bit skeptical but everything went great with them. We arrived at PC Airport around 2pm on a Saturday and i must say it took us about 15 minutes to get through the airport, get our luggage, check in with our tour operator, grabbed a presidente for... more

We just got back from a awesome time at The Royal Suites Turquesa. This adults only resort is one of the best going right now in our opinion. Its it own resort with restaurants,pools, private beach and etc.... ans you get to use all other Palladium Resorts and they cant use yours. We stayed in a honeymoon suite and we were treated fantastic. You have your own personal butler that's makes sure your stay is fantastic right down from your own request on what you want in your fridge to them making of your restaurant reservations. The beach i... more

It has been over a week since I got back and I miss it already. Me, my fiance and 2 other couples went to the Royal Suites and we all loved it. When they gave me my room I wasn't very happy because I wanted to be closer to the ocean. We went to the front desk talked with Carlos and he got us a new room right away and made sure I was happy. He was GREAT, for the rest of the trip he always asked if we were happy and having a good time. I loved the pool, it was huge and there was barely anyone there so we all played in it and had a great... more

I just returned home from a relaxing two weeks in Paradise! The airport in Punta Cana is a wonderful, traditional open air airport. From the start you are put into the tropical mood by getting off the plane by walking down the steps onto the tarmac. The open air airport really gives you a feel of going back in time. Domincan clad ladies greet you and take a picture as you arrive which you can purchase on your departure for 8.00 US. We were then off to our van to be on our way to the resort, this drive was about 20 minutes or so. We... more

My husband and I just returned from our trip to Punta Cana. We stayed at the Royal Suites portion of the Grand Palladium and were very pleased. Here are our thoughts....feel free to email if you have questions about any of the palladium sections. we did a lot of walking around and comparing. FYI-DON'T PUT ANYTHING EXPENSIVE IN YOUR CHECKED BAGGAGE - yes, it seems obvious but we did and unfortunately, by the time we made it back to texas, we realized our camcorder was stolen. the airline has been really nice working with us, but it... more

After reading many positive reviews for the Royal Suites, we were very excited to book our 7 night vacation. We were not impressed! The beaches in Punta Cana are about the best you will find! That is about the only positive I can say about this trip. This Grand Palladium complex is enormous, and is geared for a european crowd. At the gift shop/supermarket you cannot find a single publication in English. Not a newspaper, not a magazine! I would say there was approximately 95% German travelers. No more than 2% were english speaking.... more
