Travel advisors can now book clients at the recently upgraded Grand Palladium Select Bavaro (formerly Grand Palladium Bavaro Suites) through Sunwing for travel starting Dec. 15, 2025.

The extensive renovations to the property include tranquil accommodations, a redesigned lobby, updated pools and enhanced dining and bar offerings.

Perhaps the highlight of the enhancements at Bavaro is the new Family Selections experience, a program that was previously only available in Mexico. The VIP upgrade for families means travellers get a private lobby check-in,  access to an exclusive family restaurant, dedicated pool with poolside service, private beach area and butler service.

All resort guests can take advantage of comprehensive family amenities including kids' and teen clubs, mini golf course, splash park, non-motorized water sports and a dedicated kids' section at the main pool. There’s also basketball and tennis courts, soccer fields, paddle courts, beach volleyball, and badminton facilities.

Limited Time Added Value

Travel advisors who book clients to this resort by Sept. 30, 2025 for travel before Oct. 31, 2026 can take advantage of added values, including: 

  • Two children stay free (age 2 – 17) when staying in a Family Selection room category.
  • Reduced rates.
  • $600 USD in resort credits. 

Restrictions apply.

There are package vacations available from gateways across Canada. Please see www.sunwing.ca for details.
