Great Resort

This was our second time at the Barcelo Bavaro Beach Resort and we intend to return again. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The food is fabulous at all the restaurants especially the specialized ones like the Japanese, Italian, and the Chez. Staff are friendly and very accomadating, especially the "Premier" staff. Love that we can enjoy the adults only section and visit the family section for other activities. Room was located directly on beach with an exceptional view and close to the p [... read more]ool. It was perfect for us and what we requested. It was an amazing location. Rooms are clean and comfortable. We will return.

Don’t expect too much

The hotel is quite large. There are two parts, the beach and the palace. If you stay at the beach (adults only) you are allowed to use the amenities on the Palace side. We stayed the whole time on the Palace side (pool) as it has a swim up bar. Didnt really notice a lot of kids when we were there. The Beach on the adults only side is better. Unfortunately, my husband got sick off their food and we wasted a day inside the room - when we confronted the hotel all they said was its impossible t [... read more]hat my husband got food poisoning because there isn't other people who complained. The lobster that was served to him had a foul smell, its unbearable. This ruined our honeymoon. After the food poisoning everything went downhill from there, from the service and cleanliness of the room that we were so happy to get to the airport and finally eat some real food and get back to Canada. some staff are rude, especially when you don't speak Spanish. Had a really bad service at Santa Fe Steakhouse and Coral Seafood. If you visit La Brisa, make sure to ask for Esther! She’s the best! At the Palace swim up bar Odalio and Norberto are the best bartenders there! Always smiling even if you havent given them a tip!

Awesome Getaway!

We went to Barcelo Bavaro Beach as a couple and it couldn’t have been more perfect. I hadn’t been to an all inclusive before and my partner had only been one other time. The resort was the perfect size for us. Staff were super friendly and our room was very clean upon arrival. We stayed in building two which is in very close distance to the beach, pool, and entertainment areas. We ate at the gourmet restaurant once but otherwise stuck to the buffets, where the food selection was fantastic. T [... read more]he beach was well maintained, we bought goggles from the gift shop, were told we wouldn’t see much sea life right off the beach, but we saw plenty of fish and a smaller sea turtle ! We headed over to the palace a few times to eat at the sports bar, but also went over a different night to check out the casino and the disco, which to be honest we weren’t impressed with. Mainly stuck to our resort as it’s adults only and the palace seemed a little more chaotic with the amount of children. Forms of entertainment were provided every night and through out the day. One day we did a catamaran excursion which we would absolutely do again, another day we did dune buggies and zip lining, which we probably would not do again as we came there for the beach and ocean and found ourselves missing the resort. This resort is perfect for anyone wanting to get away and relax without kids, maybe do a little partying. Didn’t really seem like the type of place that younger people would go to if you wanted to really party, but we were there in November so it was more of a quieter time. Bottom line: Beach and pool are beautiful, drinks are strong, food is great and our room was clean, what more can you ask for!?

Barcelo Bavara Beach

The resort is one of the best we have every stayed The food out of this world, the staff were very friendly and very helpful. The rooms excellent.Would we go back definitely One negative it is not easy to get in and out of shower no handrails

Amazing resort !

Barcelo Bavaro Beach is an adult only hotel part from the Barcelo Bavaro Palace .It has all the options and you can enjoy both hotels and their amenities .The grounds are beautifully maintained, service and staff very friendly, beautiful beach shallow water ideal for swimming.Our experience for the 5 time beautiful as usual.

Great value resort

This resort is nice, however not exactly new. The rooms are nice and are clean, but a little dated. The adults only side is very quiet and relaxing. The pools are very nice and the food is pretty good as well. The resort staff are friendly and very accommodating. We asked for a nice room and they delivered with a beautiful view of the ocean at no additional cost. Overall I feel it is a very good value resort. Plenty of restaurant choices. Beautiful beach. Very well kept resort. Friendly and hel [... read more]pful staff. The entertainment was very impressive at the Palace theater. The Michael Jackson show was amazing! Great bang for your buck. We enjoyed staying at the adults only with the option to use the entire resort. There is deffinately more action on the Palace side, however the peace and tranquility on the adults only side is amazing! I would definately recommend this resort.

Wow!!!!

From the airport pickup, speedy check-in and wonderful welcome service to the room, restaurants, beach, activities and staff...this was a well-rounded WOW resort. Made my stay worthwhile and fun. I loved it!

Ok

The staff were excellent, sweet kind and great sense of humour. The resort was clean and pretty as was the gorgeous beach and ocean. Food was fair. What was disappointing was my first class room! While the view was stunning, the luxurious king size bed I was to have was a double! The first class bathroom needed serious work..there was a lot of grout missing between the tiles and what ever was holding the glass door was loose at the ceiling!!

Disappointing maybe 3 star

First off the weather was fabulous, the beach and ocean..stunning. My first class room was very disappointing! I was supposed to have a luxurious king size bed...it was a double🙁! My first class bathroom...a lot of grout missing from between the tiles...gross! as well as whatever was holding up the glass door was loose from the ceiling!

A little piece of paradise!

Just back from 10 day stay at this hotel and we wish we were still there! We were surprised at the size of our room and enjoyed the facilities offered. The food was excellent, offered a wide variety and everything was fresh. There were plenty of chairs both around the pool and on the beach which was very close to all rooms. The staff were courteous and security was present at all times. The only thing we were disappointed with was the fact that the hotel did not offer free wifi on the adults-onl [... read more]y complex. Wifi was available only in the casino at the Barcelo Grand Palace. We would definitely return to this hotel.

Great Resort

The grounds were very well kept and we enjoyed a beautiful view of the ocean from our room and balcony. The beach offered lots of shade or sun depending on what you were looking for. I appreciated that it was a quieter resort (being an adult only) and if we wanted a more lively environment, we were minutes from the sister resort - Barcelo Palace which offered great evening entertainment. I loved the open air concept at the resort and enjoyed the constant breeze from the ocean, which made it [... read more] so comfortable to be outside - even though it was 29 degrees each day! The only complaint, is that the rooms were somewhat dated - they need a face-lift (particularly the bathroom shower/toilet area)

Absolutely paradise

We love everything about this resort. Food is great, staff is friendly, rooms are clean, beach is stunning...and I could go on and on. We've been to countless others, but have decided that this is the only one we will return to again and again.

Great Resort and Beach

This resort was great. Most impressed by the spacious beach and plentiful chairs. The pool area was crowded, and all lounge chairs occupied. Buffet provided choice of foods, only one a la carte which we did not try.

Amazing Resort ! 6 out of 5 Stars !

My wife and I stayed at the Barcelo Bavaro Beach ( Adult Only ) Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican during the week of March 18th, 2019 and we absolutely loved everything about it. The weather was perfect ( 29 degrees and sunny every day ) and the resort even more perfect. We have been to many resorts in Cuba and Mexico over many years and this was our first time to the Dominican and we have declared this resort our 2nd home away from home. We have been trying to find that resort that was [... read more] so perfect, that we would want to continue to go back to and we have finally found it. We knew it from the moment we arrived. The warmth and friendliness of the entire staff was so welcoming. Everything about this resort exceeded our expectations from the super friendly staff ( which by the way, the amount of staff blew us away.) There were more than plenty of staff there to serve and assist and there was never a line up at the bars, or the lunch buffets etc. The food was absolutely amazing and I found it better than the Mexican Resorts that we had been to in the past. There were plenty of choices of restaurants to choose from and we thoroughly enjoyed every restaurant we ate at. This resort has the best of both worlds. It is 2 resorts in 1. The Adult Only Beach Resort is part of the Barcelo Palace Resort which is a much bigger resort and caters to families for the most part. We stayed on the Adult Only Beach Resort which is a much smaller size resort that has the nice small size resort feel that my wife and I enjoy and the rooms are all right there on the beach and we have our own pool, pool side bar, and several restaurants and buffet. But, we had access as well to all the Palace side of the resort has to offer as well such as their casino, bowling alley and arcade, restaurants, upscale shopping mall, water park that includes water slides and a wave pool, mini golf and one of the other deciding factors as to why we chose this resort was they have their own golf course on the resort as well and we were able to get a few rounds in during our stay. Such a nice enjoyable relaxing vacation. We will be back next year, and the next year and the.........

Beautiful ResortThe property

The property is beautiful. Gorgeous beach, very well maintained grounds that cover a vast area. Great for walking, jogging etc. Lots of activities, such as tennis, paddle ball, golf, water sports, etc, are available. There are many different restaurants and two buffets, with a wide variety of food options. The food is excellent, for the most part. Staff are friendly and accommodating, except for a few select customer service reps who were a bit abrupt.

Awesome resort

Great resort! From the time we checked in when they accomodated our request that our daughter's room be close to ours. Great food and terrific service especially at La Brisa restaurant where Labrida and Juan Kelly were amazing! Of course there always could be improvements such as; - perhaps a snack bar, grill or something similar between restaurant openings. - Hoyo 19 restaurant service, food and dining hours took a significant down turn from our last visit 2 years ago. We were unpleas [... read more]antly surprised to see the golf cart rentals more than doubled from 2 years ago ($35 to $75). If this Barcelo wants to remain our top destination choice then it has to stop these negative changes. Sincerely Mario

Amazing resort !

Great resort! Food was great! Grounds were well manicured. Rooms were clean. Excellent service. A good variety of activities. A la cartes were delicious. Enjoyed the steak house and Hoyo 19. Golf was excellent.

Wonderful Relaxing Resort

The grounds on this resort are outstanding....the beach is absolutely beautiful!.....staff are very friendly and helpful....food selection is varied...sure to find something for every pallet.....For those wanting more activities or night life....the Bávaro Palace provides that just a short walk away.....Bávaro Beach provides a quiet relaxed environment for adults wanting to just get away and chill out.
