What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Excellent Culinary Choices

During my stay, I was thoroughly impressed with the dining options available at the Barcelo Bavaro Beach. The buffet food was always presented well, offering a wide variety of meats, fish, and fresh fruits. Special shoutout to the Chez Gourmet restaurant; the seafood trilogy with risotto was absolutely delicious. I also enjoyed dining at the La Brisa restaurant by the beach, where the atmosphere paired perfectly with the tasty food.

Amazing Pool Experience

The pool area at Barcelo Bavaro Beach was nothing short of amazing! It was always clean and spacious, which allowed for a relaxing time soaking up the sun. Although there was no swim-up bar, the poolside service was excellent, and there were plenty of comfortable lounge chairs available. I truly appreciated how well-kept the pool was – it made for a fantastic atmosphere to enjoy a day in the sun.

Comfortable King-Sized Bed

I stayed in a well-maintained room with a comfortable king-sized bed during my visit. The cleanliness of the room was commendable, and I loved how it always felt fresh when I returned after a day of activities. Moreover, the view from my room was beautiful, providing a serene environment that made my stay feel very relaxing.

Great Entertainment Options

The entertainment team at Barcelo Bavaro Beach did a fantastic job keeping guests engaged and entertained. I thoroughly enjoyed the activities they offered, including yoga on the beach and the vibrant shows in the evenings. The lively atmosphere, particularly during the Coco Bongo pool party, made for nice nights that I wouldn't have wanted to miss.

I had a wonderful stay overall at the resort! The beachfront location was perfect for relaxing, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was exceptionally attentive and friendly, making our experience enjoyable. However, the dining options left something to be desired, as some food was mediocre and lacked freshness. Although I enjoyed my time, there’s definitely room for improvement in the dining experience.

Our stay at the resort was filled with mixed experiences. On one hand, the beach was stunning and the food at Chez Gourmet was exceptional. However, we faced service issues and cleanliness problems in our room. Overall, the resort has great potential but needs improvements to reach that level.

While the dining options were varied, not every meal was exceptional. The service was a mix of attentive and sometimes lacking, but overall, it was a great getaway with lots of relaxing moments.
