Grand Palladium Select Bávaro - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"A mi familia y amigos nos gustó mucho el hotel. Las habitaciones estaban amplias, modernas y muy limpias, el único inconveniente es que el aire acondicionado de las habitaciones no enfría tanto. El hotel en general estuvo muy bien, el personal muy amable y atento."

Barceló Bávaro Palace - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"It was a wonderful experience. The food was excellent, the staff was very attentive, and the facilities and entertainment were outstanding. Everything was well organized, making our stay even more enjoyable. The only downside was that the buffet floor was sticky, which made us feel a bit unsafe while walking with our food. Other than that, it was the best experience. We would definitely come back."

"El hotel estructuralmente esta muyy bueno las habitaciones grandes y limpias, el personal no muy amable, la verdad que para un lugar 5 estrellas deberian ser mas empaticos con los clientes, pero en general todo bien , el hotel es un 10 de 10 lo recomiendo"

Barceló Bávaro Beach - Adults Only - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Adults Only Resort is beautiful, clean and relaxing. The staff was very polite and helpful when asking questions. The room was not the best part for me but it was clean but also had a little smell. King size bed was comfortable enough to get some rest. Balcony was cute with a great view. Restaurants - Santa Fe Steakhouse definitely need improvement with consistency. Our table ordered NY strip steak cooked the same way. We all got a different cut of steak. I did not eat. Staff was nice and service was quick. El Coral Seafood was an overall terrible experience. Staff was very slow but polite. Food not good at all. I ordered lobster bisque and lobster ravioli. Was not happy at all. Did not eat. Caribe Buffet was ok. Staff was very polite. There is a something to eat for everyone. La Brisa Buffet is my all time favorite. So many Dominican dishes to choose from all seasoned to perfection. Overall the best Buffet to eat at while you're there! Staff was also very polite and the restaurant was beautiful and very clean. Overall Barcelo Bavaro Beach was an amazing experience with great amenities. The beach and pool was beautiful and relaxing. Would definitely come back!"
