The hotel

This superb all-inclusive hotel complex, overlooking one of the top ten beaches in the world, consists of two hotels, one that is adults only — the Beach — and the Palace, which welcomes families too. The Palace has a separate section — the Family Club — with rooms accommodating up to 6. Packed to the hilt with amenities, upgrade to Premium Level and you’ve even more luxury at your fingertips, including rooms with the best sea view, personalised check-in and check-out and access to the Premium Level Lounge, serving drinks and open from 7:00am ‘til 10:00pm. Premium Level guests staying at the Palace share the facilities of the Bavaro Beach and there’s even a free train to get around the complex — yes, it’s that big! Opt for stunning ocean front rooms, or enjoy tropical garden views instead — there are plenty to choose from, all very comfortably furnished and boasting the latest mod-cons. Other delights include a brilliant selection of water sports, clubs for kids and teens and a recently redesigned golf course, which may tempt even the non-enthusiasts amongst you! The U Spa is also worth shouting about, a sanctuary within a sanctuary, breathe in the captivating aroma of essential oils as you troubles drift away. Dining-wise, you’re in for a treat at the Barcelo, there are plenty of restaurants to choose from, suiting every taste, mood and occasion.

And thanks to Maira Encarcion for her daily smile and amazing service. At the reception, thanks to Manuel Eduardo and Ambrosio (manager). They always provide solutions to your needs. Great vacation for a reasonable price at a comfy and good size resort. We don’t need the big, crowdy resort like Barvaro Palace. We will see them next November. Read less

My friends and I have visited this Resort for the last 3 years and we love this place very much. I never really do the review thing but it's only right that I show my appreciation especially because this year one of the staff members really stood out. Her name is "Margarett Calderón", she is one of the barmaids at the resort. Margaret or "Chiquitita" as I named her due to her cuteness and height showed such great job performance (although she is fairly new, 4 weeks) She kept the drinks coming and gave such great conversation that after it was done I felt like I knew her for years. Thank you Margarett "Chiquitita" for taking such good care of me you are definitely a great asset to the Barcelo Bavaro Resort. I will see you when I go back, real soon. Read less
