Barcelo Bavaro Beach - Adults Only - All Inclusive

Large Resort all inclusive. Ideal for relaxations. However, food is redundant and quality could be improved. Also, activities and party athmosphere for adults should be enhanced.

best adults only resort in PUJ. it has great location and nice beaches.

Our stay at Barcelo Bavaro Beach was great! This is the most beautiful beach we have every been to! As far as the hotel, this is the adults only hotel which made it a little more relaxing. The room was very clean but needs a little updating. Very nice pool area. The food was average at the buffet but the specialty restaurants were great! Overall this is a great hotel and great location. We would stay here again!

The staff is amazingly accommodating as soon as you arrive at the airport. They arranged an airport pickup for us and took us directly to the resort. They clean your room twice a day, which is way more that needed but nice to have done. The premium staff books your dinners and any end excursions you want. The beach is absolutely amazing! Its always clean and there is more sunshine than you can imagine. The pools are within walking distance as well as the pool bars. The drinks are great and its fun to try all the local drinks, especially the chichi kapapuka. It was a favorite!! We went tubing and parasailing. Both were very fun and worth the cost. Its best to make dinner reservations at the nicer restaurants. The buffets and room service are best for breakfast and lunch. We also paid for the private beach dinner which we loved. The waiter was amazing and the food was incredible. We loved the ability to stay on the adults only side and be able to go to the family side as wanted. Overall we loved the resort and would absolutely recommend it!!

When you arrive at the hotel you are greeted with a huge open lobby, chic decor, and a delicious mango cocktail from a waitress. Great way to start the vacation!! Our room was perfect, king size bed (which felt like an extra large king size), nice little table in the room to have coffee at in the morning and a nice deck out the back to feel the ocean breeze. The beach was gorgeous!!! Pools very clean and the tiki swim up bar at the Barcelo Deluxe was a blast with an absolutely wonderful staff. The food at Koyoto (the hamachi grill) was mediocre (but I think it was just our cook, because the other areas of the restaurant sounded like they were having an excellent time) but the Sante Fe steak house was great and Hoyo 19 is definitely a place to check out, great mojito's!! Our experience was unforgettable and we can't wait to come back, if not in Punta Cana, for sure at another Barcelo Resort.

It was a blast i would only say that the food gets repetitive quick.

I loved everything, everything, everything about my vacation at this hotel. Only exception was the food. The food was fine -- definitely take advantage of the restaurants and move away from the buffet. Luckily I didn't come to Punta Cana to eat. :-)

After we got here, we decided to upgrade to the premium! Do this! It is so worth it! My best friend from high school and I take a trip to somewhere warm every year--we've decided we will look no more--this will be our destination for now on. Special kudos must go to Jasmine, Anna, Johanna, and Jason, all from the Premium Lounge. They were soooooo helpful, friendly, and even taught us some useful Spanish. I see others have complained about a language barrier (if you don't speak Spanish), but we didn't experience that very much. All the staff were helpful and polite--no complaints. There were obviously some recent updates, but the bathroom could have used a bit of work. With the Premium category, you get to eat anywhere instead of only the Adults Only part of the resort--which is mostly buffet and one very nice restaurant. With the Premium you can eat at the French restaurant, Japanese, Steakhouse, Mexican, and more. I guess my only complaint would be about the people on vacation. People leave their towels and other items on their chairs(especially around the pool, and in the few cabanas they have. I would encourage management to put up signs all over the place telling people that if there items are left unattended for more than 3 hours, their items will be taken to lost and found where they will need to pick them up. It seems that no matter what time we went out, every chair, and every cabana had towels already on them! So, this will be our yearly get-a-way, and we met people who have been going there for 11 years, hope we can make it that long! Go, you won't be disappointed, but take your credit cards, they don't accept cash at any of the shops.

FIrst night at hotel... gurgling in tub & bathroom sink. Next morning at hotel, raw sewage backed up into tub. That night - flood in bathroom floor - next morning - 2 - 3 inches of water in room. Staff had already moved our luggage, beds, shoes etc. They changed our room that day. Next day we see they put new people in the room we had and ... the next day, the same flooding - had to move them. Overall the hotel was good - hard to get a chair around the pool. Everyone gets up early to put their towels on the chairs. Food was good. Language barrier. Also very chincy on the bathroom towels.

We were very impressed with Barcelo Bavaro Beach, adults only. It was a perfect resort, quiet and peaceful on the adult side but with complete access to all the restaurants and amenities at the sister resort less than a 5 minute walk away. The pool and beach area were pristine and beautiful. The grounds were perfectly trimmed and landscaped. Food was good at the buffets, much better at the ala carte restaurants.
