Reviews Hotel Barceló Bávaro Beach ****

Cosy resort with the most beautiful location next to the coast of Punta Cana. The resort is old-fashioned, but they were the first to buy the prettiest and biggest spot. The resort along the coast has a total length of 1.5km with a private beach (with 3 hotels, Palace, Beach and Caribe) and with a depth of 1.2km, with internal another 2 hotels, Golf and Casino. The layout of the resort is like a small town with a shopping centre, 2 clubs, church, big lake and golf course/nature reserve. In the north all hotels are located next to eachother, the beach is less pretty (less palms) and the sea is rougher. And very many Americans there (Iberostars!). Barceló Bavaro Beach Resort is very popular among the Spaniards: it gives an authentic ambiance. Hotel Beach is being rebuild at the moment. It has to be ready in December 2008, we personally think it will be ready in December 2009, since they don't work that hard (although sometimes they worked day and night) and a lack of big machines.

Nice beach holiday. But the room was dirty. A big part of the staff didn't speak English. Besides that a beautiful hotel.

A bit outdated resort. There are a lot of roofs leaking when it's raining, in the rooms as well as in the restaurant. Food is good, several kinds of fish and meat daily, breakfast is fine. Front desk and staff speak poor english. It is the most social one of the 5 resorts. The most people who stayed at the other 4 hotels all came to Beach at night. The entertainment is awful, especially the evening shows.

We had a great vacation in Barcelo. Staff doesn't speak english but the location is great. Next to the beach, blue sea, what more could you ask for? We took 2 excursions, to Catalina and monstertruck, both very fun!!! Great vacation, were going back in January.

This holiday I went flying for the 1st time and I stayed in such a warm climate for the 1st time as well. I really liked it, the food was good, the service was good. It wasn't very nice though to be arriving 5 days after a hurricane. It was surprising how quickly they rebuilt everything in Beach. A disadvantage; you are kind of locked up in a golden cage. Besides that it was very nice.
