Nice Adults Only Resort

Hotel staff are all very nice and welcoming. Hotel grounds, public areas and guestrooms are very well maintained and for the most part COVID protocols are in place around the hotel. Food and service is all very good. This is a large resort with the Bavaro Palace attached. When there are conventions or holidays, this attached hotel is very busy. You have to make restaurant reservations in advance upon arrival but all easily done through guest services. Adults only hotel should not have [... read more] to pay extra for specialty restaurants and there are only two located at adults only side, one of which you can't seem to get a reservation for. Beach is very nice. If you are looking for a quiet beach, this hotel is not for you. Party boats and fishing boats are located next to the hotel that play very loud music when they leave and return. Helicopter tours fly constantly over the beach. Some days are quieter than others. There is no bar service on the beach which was disappointing for an adults only hotel but the bar is easily accessible with fast and friendly service. There is also no snack bar located near the pool for light snacks throughout the day, not sure if this is due to Covid related protocols or not. In the beach restaurant, Maria is absolutely amazing!! Cannot say enough about the service with a smile that welcomed us daily! She goes above and beyond her role to make your stay a memorable one. We travelled with another couple and the evening entertainment when there was some was very nice and welcomed. Great lobby to hang out in, play games or just chill, with a nice bar and service to your seats. Overall a nice hotel, great weather, a nice beach and good food. Would return again.

Wonderful Vaccation

The hotel was very clean and followed covid protocols. Masks were worn while entering restaurants and could be removed while seated. Temperatures taken when entering restaurants as well. Buffets we’re all behind glass and food was served to guests by a gloved and masked staff member. The staff was also working a 2 week rotation where they stayed on location to lesson exposure. The resort was only 30 percent capacity so there was no lineups and service was amazing. Clean masks were provided [... read more] daily in our room. Hand sanitizer was readily available all over the resort. Table were set 2 metres apart even in outdoor settings. Covid testing (pCR) available at the resort for $90US many people we met at the airport had to go to offsite clinics and paid $250 per person. Overall we felt very safe and commend the staff and management at Barcelo Bavero beach and our Agent from trip central for making sure we were prepared before our vacation to download the ArriveCAN app and also the QR code application to enter DR. The only suggestion we would have would be a reminder to clients to download and complete another application for QR code to leave DR to save time at the airport upon return. We would not hesitate to travel again because of the excellent knowledge and advise from our Trip Central team. Many thanks to you all. Brenda and Kevin

Amazing Resort ! 6 out of 5 Stars !

Loved absolutely everything about this resort - the food, the cleanliness of the resort, but most importantly the people. Best service all around at this resort. This has been our 2nd time to this resort in as many years and we have found our home away from home.

The Best All Inclusive!

Loved the beach, food ,service and especially the staff... Had a minor issue in our room that was taken care of promptly and even checked with us the next day to make sure all was okay. Had a Surprise Birthday Banner and cake in our room upon arrival that was arranged by a friend in our group.

Very good resort

This was our second time staying at this resort and still great with a few small problems which were looked after right away. The food was still very good with a large selection every day. The grounds were immaculate.

Second time visiting, just as we remembered.....AWESOME!

It was exactly if not better than we remembered from our trip in December 2017. This resort has to have the best staff of any that we have visited. The food is great, rooms were fabulous (especially the beds) and drinks plentiful. The staff is outstanding in every area that you visit. The ones in the restaurant are attentive, the activity staff friendly and the bar staff there when you need them. I have never been to a resort where everyone seems to have a smile on their face and want to ma [... read more]ke your vacation the best ever. The airport transfer is about 15 minutes away...another selling point. Beautiful golf course attached which is challenging to most. Will we go back...… definitely!

Beautiful Resort

This resort is amazing an adults only, 20 mins from airport. The king bedroom was really spacious with a huge California King bed. They had a wicker table and chairs. Fridge was stocked daily with 2 water and pop. Snacks were left in cabinet. The staff kept everything really clean. Our room was 5 min walk to pool and beach. The beach and pool could be seen from our balcony. Lots of food choices even vegan in the buffet restaurant. There were 2 other restaurants on site one by reservation only.  [... read more]Pool was refreshing, there was jacuzzi in the middle and 4 massage showers, lots of seating and a bar at one end. You could walk to the beach from the pool area. Beach was a white powder. Very peaceful for going on walks around resort. Peacocks walked around resort and on the walking paths. Tripcentral was great recommending this resort. We will definitely return again.

Great resort for families & adults only

Large white sand beach, many different restaurants (Japanese, French, Italian, Spanish, Sports restaurant, etc.), & activities (mini-golf, golf, bowling, tennis, basketball, water sports, sailing, canoeing, etc.) many pools, water park for kids, many bars, 2 large theaters with great shows every night. Hotel is large with many different buildings so you never feel cramped up with people around, hotel rooms are very nice and beach chairs are always easily available with good shade from many palm [... read more] trees. In all, a great hotel. We stayed in the adult section but had access everywhere on the family site.

Awesome place 😊😊😊

We stayed on the Adult Only side and were extremely satisfied with the room ...excellent view...the staff were friendly and helpful...the walk to the “Shopping Mall” was a pleasant 10 minute stroll(muchly needed after a great lunch) A great choice of restaurants to choose from for our suppers ( seafood,Italian,steaks,Japanese along with numerous buffets) We will definitely be back💝💝💝

Highly recommend resort

The resort lived up to reputation lots of different entertainment choices high service with great staff who go beyond to make your stay enjoyable and stress free .The grounds are well maintained as well as the beach areawell maintained Rooms were clean and saw many get fixed before getting used again. .Food was good nothing special. I am not a big fan of night shows but the wife enjoyed .

Amazing Beach

We've traveled here twice now and we can honestly say they it was even better than the first time. Food and drinks were great but you can't beat that gentle warm breeze the runs day and night. All the restaurants were unique in their own way. La Brisa on the water front was probably the favorite for lunch and diner. Best burgers ever!!!! Best view ever!!!

Awesome Resort

I had an excellent stay at Barcelo Bavaro Beach Adults only, the grounds are kept neat, the beach is so relaxing and the atmosphere is great, I am planning on going back to this resort next year as I had a great stay.

Love this resort!

This resort has a lot to offer - from a fantastic beach, friendly and helpful staff, dining experiences for most tastes, fun daily activities and shows, shopping, casino and the like to a great golf course. We've been 3 years in a row but have met others who are 10, 12 and 28 year return guests. How many resorts can say that? We will be back!

Beautiful!!!!

Everything that you want or need is there!! Good or bad weather, everything has been planned for you to have a great time!! The food is grrrrrreat and always different everyday! You will enjoy long walk on the beach!!

Amazing Adult Only Resort

Visited this resort for a week Jan. 27, 2020 to Feb. 03, 2020. Had wife ,my brother and 4 sisters and there spouses party of 12. Great weather 7 days in the 28 deg range. Had 5 great Al a Carte dinners. No complaints as it met all of our expectations. 4.5 to 5 stars. Was nice to stay at a quiet resort but visit the Palace for the entertainment. Alexander in guest services was very helpful in making our trip the best it could be.

Very enjoyable escape

The staff was very good...wonderful beach and pool....the food was quite enjoyable and varied...A very nice room. The only con with the resort was that it took two days to get the tv working. Another negative, nothing to do with the resort, but the sun wing rep was worse than useless...we were not impressed with sunwing this trip

Great resort

This is an excellent resort. The adults only portion of the complex is also a very nice feature. There is lots of walking is required but there is a shuttle available if needed. Nightly entertainment is also very good. Punta Cana beaches are always well maintained.

Really Beautiful beach and resort!

Had an amazing time. Rooms very nice. Food selection excellent. People at Resort friendly. People we talked to come back to this resort. One couple there 15th time. Many are golfers. Which they said was terrific. We are not but went over for lunch once. Exceptional service and good food. I would highly recommend this resort and look forward to returning!😊 Also, 12 minutes from airport which was wonderful.

Absolutely Amazing!

Our room was very spacious, clean and the fridge was always stocked. The beds were very comfortable and the curtains were perfect for keeping the light out if you wanted to rest or sleep in. The food was amazing, favorite restaurant was Chez Gourmet. The service always came with a smile. Two bars and lots of great sitting areas. You have the ability to walk to the family resort and casino area or you can relax and take a train. I took train ride several times just to see everything. We met grea [... read more]t people who return annually for the golf. I don't play golf yet, but would absolutely return to this resort. I felt so safe here at all times. I came for my birthday and they left me a beautiful note, cake and bottle of rum on my birthday in my room. Loved that extra touch! Thank you Rachel Guindon for setting this trip up and making this an amazing experience! Your advice and recommendations were perfect!

Above average resolt

The grounds are very nice, however the buildings and rooms are tired. The room we had was sub par until we were moved after some complaining. The toilet ran and had sewer smell and annoying flies from the drains. The food is very good and wait staff exceptional.
