Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Royalton Bavaro Weddings

Family-Friendly | 500-1000 rooms

Family-friendly all-inclusive resort with spacious suites, amazing restaurants and bars, beautiful wedding venues, and plenty of entertainment.

Set along Bavaro Beach, with its golden sand, turquoise waters, and towering coconut palms, Royalton Bavaro makes it easy to enjoy the best of Punta Cana. You and your guests can spend your days floating along the 1,200-foot lazy river, trying the FlowRider® surf simulator, or heading out for snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, bodyboarding, and catamaran sailing. There's also a 9-hole mini-golf course, a splash pad for younger guests, and the Genesis Casino for adults.

What makes Royalton Bavaro great for our destination wedding couples is how it caters to different ages and travel styles. Families have supervised kids' and teens' clubs to keep younger guests busy, while adults can enjoy the spa, fitness facilities, specialty dining, and laid-back beach time. Evenings come with live performances, music, dancing, and the signature White Party, held once a week. This means your wedding guests can turn the celebration into a full-fledged tropical vacation.

Royalton Bavaro has 730 suites, all with modern interiors, comfortable living spaces, and thoughtful amenities. Every suite features the DreamBed™ with high-thread-count sheets, a Royalton Signature rain shower, USB charging stations, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi (all throughout the resort too), an electronic safe, satellite television, 24/7 room service, and a private balcony or terrace. You also get a garment steamer, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, vanity mirror, and air conditioning with an individual thermostat.

For your wedding guests, we recommend the Luxury Junior Suites. These 603-square-foot suites accommodate up to 4 guests, including a max. of 4 adults or 2 adults and 2 children. The suites come with either 1 king bed or 2 queen beds. Your guests can choose from Swim Out, Ocean View, and Garden View categories.

The Luxury Family Suite is another recommendation of ours, especially for your guests travelling with children.

For newlyweds, we recommend the Diamond Club™ Luxury Junior Suite. It offers the same generous 603-square-foot layout. Available categories include Swim Out, Ocean View, and Pool View. The Diamond Club™ experience means you get personalized butler service, and beach butler assistance from sunrise to sunset. You also benefit from personalized check-in and check-out at the private lounge, priority reservations at specialty restaurants, butler-managed priority dining, and access to exclusive à la carte dining options.
