Plan my trip from BávaroIdentify the correct hotel
Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa is in Playas de Bávaro on Avenida Francia. This is the Grand Palladium Punta Cana hotel, separate from Palace, Select Bávaro and TRS Turquesa. Palladium lists Punta Cana, Palace, Select Bávaro and TRS Turquesa as separately named hotels within the resort setting.
Plan the hotel collection
Your Catalina day starts with a road connection from Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa in Playas de Bávaro on Avenida Francia, followed by the agreed boat departure on the Caribbean coast. Name each additional hotel separately and keep the confirmed contact available. The full-day package includes transfer, drinks and a Dominican beach lunch buffet; exact pickup place, coverage and booking terms are confirmed individually.
Send the full property name from the reservation and ask which reception or vehicle entrance is assigned. A hotel beach club does not provide the road pickup address for an inland apartment. If you are unsure whether a rental is in Los Corales or El Cortecito, let the host confirm the street and map pin.
Match the day to your travel party
A group staying at Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa should choose activities by each traveler's confidence in the water, rather than the resort's room category. Give children's ages, swimmers' needs and any boarding assistance requests. Snorkeling is US$99; diving is US$149 with certified-diver and supervised beginner pathways subject to eligibility. Private groups receive an individual quote.
Pick your Catalina experience
CatalinaTrip offers the full-day snorkeling tour for US$99 and the diving option for US$149, with or without certification subject to the appropriate introductory plan. Private boat use is quoted separately. Transfer, drinks and Dominican buffet lunch at the beach are included in all options.
Confirm collection before the day
Provide your date, full guest count, children's ages and WhatsApp contact. Ask for the precise entrance, collection time, boat meeting point and return window. Do not assume the hotel operates or endorses the excursion; its official website is cited for identity and location only.
Questions about this departure
Can all Palladium guests use Punta Cana as their hotel name?
No. The official complex listings distinguish Punta Cana, Palace, Select Bávaro and TRS Turquesa. Give the exact property for each participant; access between resort areas does not confirm one external-vehicle entrance.
