The grounds, pool area, dining, and beach are all outstanding. The beach is expansive, beautiful and very uncrowded and the five connected resorts gives you so many options.
What I wish I
could change:
There are many shops at the resorts to purchase anything you need, however film and sunscreen can be very expensive at the resort so make sure you bring it with you.
Why YOU should
go:
A lagoon-style pool, water-sports equipment, day-and-night activities, three discos, a multitude of restaurants, and a Vegas-style Latin musical show, which is considered the best in Punta Cana.
On the sunny northeast coast of the breathtaking Dominican Republic, stroll the fine white sands of Bavaro Beach in front of this all-inclusive resort, which offers a fantastic location plus food, drinks, and fun. Located on beautiful Bavaro Beach and surrounded by Coconut Palm trees, this resort sits in the center of the Bavaro Beach complex. It's a perfect choice for honeymoon couples, families with children and singles.

On the sunny northeast coast of the breathtaking Dominican Republic, stroll the fine white sands of Bavaro Beach in front of this all-inclusive resort, which offers a fantastic location plus food, drinks, and fun. The Barcelo Bavaro Caribe and Beach Resort, Convention Center and Golf & Casino is the only hotel complex situated on Playa Bavaro, an amazing 3 kilometer-long stretch of natural beach, with calm aquamarine blue waters enclosed by a coral reef about 800m from the shore.
