We booked our trip to Barcelo Bavaro Palace way back at the beginning of the year and were pleasantly suprised to find out that they had recently opened a new junior suites section, which our booking was eligible to stay in. Wow, what an incredible room. I've traveled a lot of places (although not always with my entire family) and... more

We were upgraded to this hotel from the Barcelo Bavaro Beach Caribe due to their overbooking the hotel. Thank goodness, it was the better of the 5 hotel group. The grounds and beach are just wonderful, constantly being cleaned. Security is everywhere. (Try not to get a corner room if you don't want someone standing outside your door all day!)... more

Where does one start. I think initially I would like to comment on curious remarks from other reviews. Common sense says sun tan oil is more exoensive at the resort and start at factor 30 and work down , there are mozzies in warm climates so take spray with you, it was clear that top shelf drinks were free and... more

I just got back from my trip a day ago. My self, two year old daughter, husband, brother and my parents all went. We stayed for a week. First let me say that I have heard great things about D.R. . And there are some nice things about the resort and island. The beach is beatiful (minus the sand fleas).... more

We were a group of 18 with APPLE VACATIONS. Everything went smooth from take off in PHL to the return from PUNTA CANA. The hotel grounds are beautiful. The rooms were the largest I have ever had. Very clean and the mini bar is replentished daily. It rained the first three days of our week but we swam anyway and... more

The best thing I can say about this place was the beach was amazing. Beautiful water on a sandy beach. Not crowded at all. The pools are nice also. Before I start with the good and the bad, I felt compelled to write this review after I found many reviews helpful in deciding which hotels to stay away from when... more

The hotel is great, the service is good and the installation are nice with a few problems in the way but nothing big, the beach is excellent, very clean and beautiful water, they offer you a lot of activities to enjoy (not so cheap but great), the food is good, try just to eat the breakfast at the buffet restaurant,... more

The beaches were the best I've ever seen- beautiful water and plenty of included watersports. The friendly staff was eager to please, but the food was not so good. We stuck to bottled water and fried foods to be safe, but still got sick anyway. The "top shelf" liqours and imported beers were not included, and everything else was watered... more
