From the moment we arrived, we had nothing but fun, excellent service, and an overall amazing experience. The staff at the Premium check-in was beyond courteous, attentive, and detailed. The grounds are really beautiful and kept looking photo-ready! This is a huge resort, so bring a comfy pair of flip-flops. Overall, there are ample food options, and the restaurants were great, and the staff was beyond attentive. The fitness center is huge, and the spa experience is definitely worth it. But, above it all - the staff, the people who work here, they really make it a point to address every need, and always provide amazing service, always!!!! Thank You for an amazing stay, and see you guys soon!

Hotel's Favourite
I have previously stayed at Barcelo Bavaro Palace in 2018 and loved my experience so I decided to come back. I will admit, I didn't know what to expect because there were so many recent negative reviews and I wasn't sure how things had changed since covid. I will say I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed my second stay here even better than my first. The food was delicious and the options were plentiful. There were also plenty of pools and beaches to spend time at! My favorite dinner restaurant was the teppanyaki! During the evenings we spent most of our time at the sports bar and casino. We booked the Jr.Suite Ocean View which included VIP access to the hydrotherapy at the spa, the seafood restaurant, and the adult's side of the resort. We were able to get covid tested the day before leaving for $25 per person and provide that before flying back to the USA. The swim-up bar was closed this time, which is understandable because of covid, but the staff did a great job making sure we were accommodated at poolside bars. I definitely recommend this place to everyone and cannot wait to go back.…

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our week long stay at the resort. We upgraded to a junior suite to be a little closer to the pool and beach. Definitely worth it! We avoided lots of walking and it was great having the jacuzzi on the balcony to relax in the evening. Yes, I agree there’s loud music coming from all balconies BUT this is a vacation people!!! Get over it. A la carte restaurants Santa Fe and La Fuente were delicious!! The seafood restaurant, Coral, was okay. Food took a while to come out. Manuel at La Fuente was so nice. Buffets had good variety of food for breakfast and lunch, and I felt like they were always open! Drinks at the poolside bar were good. Casino and Sports Bar offered good entertainment at night. Booking excursions was easy- thanks to Massiel for her help! Check in was very easy and quick! We even got to check in earlier since our room was ready. Beach is gorgeous!!!! So clean too. Spa was such a relaxing time and I highly recommend getting a massage. Now, some things I’d improve. Service was good, but I feel like a lot of staff lacked friendliness. I noticed this more at the a la carte restaurants like Santa Fe and Coral. We felt rushed to order, servers didn’t present themselves and barely came over to check up on us. At the buffet, we experienced the same thing. There were times we didn’t even have a server come over to us to offer drinks. Not sure if it was due to shortage of staff but some friendly people would be nice. The swim up bar being closed is so silly but I get it. I find it funny since the poolside bar is open. It’s annoying you need to have a mask to order but it’s policy so I understand. I’d recommend at least have pool servers to relieve the chaos at the poolside bar a bit. Cleanliness was a bit of an issue for me in some areas. I didn’t think the tables at the restaurants and buffet were very clean even plates. Buffet is not self serve and again there weren’t enough staff serving and some were not cordial. Lastly, no live shows at the theater? The least they could do is post this on the website. Very disappointing! I would love to come back here since I love the Barcelo resort chain, but I do think some improvements need to be made. Train your staff better, get organized and review cleanliness.…

Traveled Oct 2021 and stayed in the Bavaro Beach Adults Only section in a premium room. Appeared to be the oldest part of the property. Bed was very comfortable, but the rest of the furniture needs to be replaced. The minifridge was stocked with beer, soft drinks, and water--no mini bottles of alcohol, which was disappointing. They did provide a bottle of rum in the room, which went unopened for our stay. Never had any trouble finding pool or beach loungers, and we really appreciated the laid back quite vibe of the adults only pool. Breakfast and lunch is buffet style only, which was also a disappointment. Would have liked at least one a la carte option for both meals. Breakfast service always seemed chaotic, long lines as all egg dishes are made to order with only one chef on duty. Lunch was a bit better, as there were more options opened. We ate dinner at four of the properties a la carte restaurants. Great service at La Vida Dolce and Santa Fe, food was average at best. The beach was great, and loved the amenities offered at the resort. Great for walkers. That said, I doubt we'll be back to the same property, but will definitely return to Punta Cana. …
