Planning the perfect family vacation that satisfies everyone from toddlers to teenagers can almost feel impossible. Parents juggle different needs, from baby-safe amenities to teen entertainment, while considering budget constraints and comfort standards.
However, Grand Palladium Select Bavaro in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, offers a solution that makes family travel a breeze with its Family Selection category.
Opening officially in January 2026, this exclusive family enclave transforms the traditional all-inclusive experience.

The Family Selection provides dedicated services, including a personal family host, specialized kids' amenities like milk and cookie turndown service, private restaurants and pools exclusively for Family Selection guests and strategically located rooms near essential facilities.
One of the resort's most compelling features is its generous policy allowing children up to 17 years old stay free. Unlike many resorts that limit free stays to younger children or offer temporary promotions, Grand Palladium Select Bavaro recognizes that anyone under 18 deserves the full benefits of a family vacation. This means up to two minor guests can enjoy all amenities and dining at no additional cost when sharing accommodations with adults.

Accommodation options within the Family Selection cater to various configurations. The entry-level garden view junior suite accommodates two adults and one child with a king-size bed and sofa bed arrangement.
Families maximizing the kids-stay-free offer can upgrade to the Superior Junior Suite Garden View, featuring two double beds and a sofa bed.
For those seeking ultimate luxury, the Family Selection Superior Junior Suite Private Pool includes a small pool in a semi-private lawn area exclusively for guests, while the Family Suite Private Pool spans nearly 1,000 square feet indoors.
The resort's three-tiered kids club system ensures age-appropriate entertainment.
The Baby Club serves children one to three years old with quiet spaces featuring plush cots and stimulating play areas.
Four- to twelve-year-olds enjoy the Mini Club's arts and crafts room, dedicated kids pool and pirate-themed castle. Teenagers aged 13 to 17 have their own Black & White Junior Club with pool tables, ping-pong, air hockey and chess.

Beyond the Family Selection amenities, guests enjoy access to Grand Palladium Select Bavaro's 11 dining experiences, five pools and pristine white sand beach. The family host assists with excursion bookings, from dune buggy adventures to cultural tours and visits to attractions like Monkeyland.
A unique advantage for parents is complimentary access to the neighboring adults-only TRS Turquesa Hotel, offering sophisticated dining, spa services, mixology classes and entertainment like the acclaimed Chic Cabaret dinner show. This dual-access arrangement ensures adults can enjoy luxury relaxation while children are entertained through supervised activities or professional babysitting services.
Grand Palladium Select Bavaro's Family Selection category represents a new standard in family travel, combining convenience, luxury and value in one comprehensive Caribbean getaway experience.
