PAX can echo Richard's account after staying at the Royalton Bavaro from Nov. 8-10 just over a week after the property reopened following a seven-month-long shutdown so we could see for ourselves what health and safety actually looks like. My only critique is that I wish they had a wider selection of alcoholic beverages. 0000000914 00000 n
I restated that I had never took my test in the first place but a nurse never came! It is only possible that I got COVID while I was being forced to stay in a room with someone who tested positive.This was truly a traumatic experience. 0000001391 00000 n
Spent a week with family at the Royalton. I was given a paper with my name and negative results but I hadn't even taken the Covid test yet! The vibe team was definitely a vibe.

Three hours later we receive a phone call in our room saying that my cousin's results came back positive and we were told that we must evacuate our room to be quarantined in another building. Not only could we not afford this, but she had not mentioned that we had to pay for our quarantine especially if I already requested to move to a private residence days prior to our check out. Guests of all ages will enjoy Royaltons signature All-In Luxury concept, featuring unlimited, reservation-free dining, upscale accommodations, All-In Connectivity offering free, high-speed Wi-Fi for all your devices resort-wide, in-room Bluetooth speakers, and free calls to select countries. This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of TripAdvisor LLC. At this point we were not given nor emailed our results like we were told we would be. She had also not told us that this was required when we were first notified of the positive test result. She told us that the private residence must de evaluated and we must provide information on the address, but never got back to us on how to proceed with that process. For starters, Sunwing sanitizes its fleet with an AEGIS Microbe Shield a high-tech treatment that provides antimicrobial protection for surfaces in airplanes.

I forgot all their names but Kimo from the vibe team was the absolute best! I do not recommend staying here to anyone. 0000013129 00000 n

NexusTours (the transportation and excursion department at Sunwing Travel Group) has capped its buses at 60 per cent so guests can space out. Masks are mandatory for all staff, but with guests, well, actually forcing people to cover their face is, and will be, an ongoing challenge (not just at Royalton, but everywhere). %%EOF

HV;9uX xG>.~[IlDt7A?owim Collective mask wearing, capping capacities at venues, scrubbing out touch points and promoting social distancing are actions that resorts, here in the DR, are taking seriously, and the properties run by Sunwing Travel Group (such as Royaltons) are no exception. My family and I went for a special celebration over a long weekend and it was a great experience. Due to the US new Covid Testing laws of presenting a negative test in order to return back to the US, my cousin took her complimentary test at the resort on the morning of Day 2 of our stay. Still would highly recommend! Check-in: All the staff were so friendly and professional, and not in the "I'm just trying to fake it for some tips" kind of way but everyone was so genuine and just wanted to ensure you were having a good time (and I'm a local so could definitely tell). Everything has been so clean and wonderful., Theyre really happy to see us back.. I went with her to reschedule my test because I was leaving on a later date. But resorts in the region are, generally, hovering at 20 to 30 per cent occupancy, so its easy to keep a safe distance from everyone right now, whether theyre masked or not. 0
I refused to sign this paper because I had been treated very poorly from the beginning and did not feel comfortable signing. The entertainment was pretty chill and my cousins and I (after we sent the parents to bed, of course) went to a silent disco party and turned all the way up!
