Make it a Family Selection at Grand Palladium Select Bavaro

Coordinating a family trip that spans multiple age groups—from babies and toddlers to school-age children, tweens, and teenagers can often feel like a complex puzzle. Each group, along with their parents or supervising adults, comes with unique expectations. Whether it’s sought-after amenities, engaging activities, or diverse dining options, what appeals to one age bracket may not suffice for another. Adding layers such as budget considerations, destination appeal, travel logistics, and adult comfort standards only intensifies the challenge.

Thankfully, crafting a seamless and memorable beachside family vacation becomes remarkably simple at Grand Palladium Select Bávaro near Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, especially when choosing the Family Selection category. Already a hallmark of several Palladium Hotels & Resorts, this offering elevates family travel to new heights with its January 2026 debut of an exclusive family-focused enclave.

The Family Selection experience includes the personalized support of a dedicated family host, thoughtfully curated children’s amenities, such as a delightful milk and cookie turndown service, and exclusive access to guest-only restaurants and pools. Additionally, rooms are strategically situated near these prime facilities, ensuring convenience and ease for families of all ages. This carefully designed environment transforms vacation planning from a challenge into effortless enjoyment for everyone involved.

Kids Up to 17 Can Stay for FREE

We refused to let this incredible bonus go unnoticed! While many resorts offer limited-time "kids stay free" promotions or restrict the age qualifying as a child, Grand Palladium Select Bávaro sets a new standard: every guest under the age of legal adulthood is invited to enjoy the full privileges of youth. As an all-inclusive haven, this means up to two minor guests can dine, play, and experience everything at no extra cost to the adults sharing their room. A truly exceptional value for families seeking seamless luxury.

Room for Everyone

Undecided about sharing a room with your little ones? Rest assured, it’s far easier and more comfortable than you might expect. Aylen Adventures offers five thoughtfully designed options within the Family Selection category, each tailored to accommodate different family dynamics with elegance and ease.

Begin with the Garden View Junior Suite, an entry-level choice perfect for two adults and one child. This spacious suite features a king bed complemented by a cozy sofa bed, providing a harmonious blend of comfort and style.

If you’re taking full advantage of the kids-stay-free perk with two children, we suggest upgrading to the Family Selection Superior Junior Suite Garden View. This inviting space offers a dual double-bed setup alongside a sofa bed, ensuring ample room for everyone to relax.

For families seeking considerably more space, the Family Selection Family Suite Garden View nearly doubles the room size, creating a generous haven for your group.

An exceptional upgrade option is the Family Selection Superior Junior Suite Private Pool. Unlike a traditional swim-up room, this suite boasts a secluded small pool nestled in a semi-private lawn, accompanied by elegant lounge chairs reserved exclusively for your family’s enjoyment, crafting an intimate and luxurious retreat.

For those desiring ultimate space and privacy, the Family Selection Family Suite Private Pool presents nearly 1,000 square feet of indoor living area, complemented by its own private pool haven—ideal for families to spread out and savor every moment of their shared adventure.

With these versatile choices, sharing a room with your children becomes a seamless and sophisticated experience, perfectly suited to your family’s needs.

Three Tiers of Kids Clubs

As previously mentioned, this resort offers thoughtfully designed programs tailored to children across different age groups. For toddlers aged one to three, the Baby Club provides a serene and comforting environment, featuring plush cots for restful naps in a calm room adjacent to an engaging play area. Children aged four to twelve will find the Mini Club vibrant and stimulating, with a diverse range of facilities and enrichment activities. Daily schedules may include guided arts and crafts sessions, refreshing time at the kids’ pool, or imaginative play at the pirate-themed castle. Teenagers, from thirteen to seventeen, can enjoy the Black & White Junior Club, a stylish space offering pool tables, ping-pong, air hockey, chess, and more to keep them entertained and socializing. Should parents prefer their children to play together privately, professional babysitters are available for customized time slots, ensuring peace of mind and flexibility (additional fees apply).

Family Bonding Opportunities Everywhere

Within the exclusive Family Selection enclave, guests enjoy dedicated restaurants, pools, and private spaces designed specifically for families. This exclusivity offers a serene retreat with guaranteed privacy, while still allowing families full access to the broader Grand Palladium Select Bavaro resort and its extensive amenities. Guests can indulge in a selection of 11 diverse dining options, including priority reservations at beloved family-friendly venues such as the teppanyaki and authentic Japanese dining experience at Sumptori. For an unforgettable and interactive dining event, La Petit Chef presents a magical culinary spectacle—available at an additional cost.

Daytime treats are easily found at La Uva snack bar, conveniently located right on the beach, offering a perfect pause between activities. Families can create lasting memories playing mini-golf, engaging in pickleball, or simply relaxing by one of the five pools or along the resort’s pristine white sand beach. The dedicated family host enhances the experience by arranging exciting excursions, from thrilling dune buggy adventures and leisurely catamaran tours to immersive cultural outings and visits to unique attractions such as Monkeyland. Every element is thoughtfully curated to ensure seamless, memorable family experiences at Grand Palladium Select Bavaro.

Complimentary Adults-Only Access for Elevated Leisure

Opting for a family-friendly resort doesn’t mean adults must forgo sophisticated relaxation and exclusive experiences. At Grand Palladium Select Bavaro’s Family Selection, adults enjoy complimentary access to the adjacent adults-only TRS Turquesa Hotel, unlocking a world of refined amenities and indulgence. This exclusive privilege includes entry to upscale dining venues, stylish bars and lounges, serene pools, and more.

Begin your mornings with invigorating Pilates sessions or cultivate your mixology skills through expert-led classes. The luxurious Zentropia Spa awaits those seeking rejuvenation, offering a sanctuary of tranquility and wellness. Whether you prefer engaging in carefully curated activities at Grand Palladium Select Bavaro or immersing yourself in exclusive happenings at TRS Turquesa, your days can be effortlessly tailored to your desires.
