Ready to clock out for some "me" time? Grab a swimsuit, and head for the sugary sands of Bávaro Beach at Barceló Bavaro Palace Deluxe in Punta Cana. Seductive, blue waters fringed by palm trees prompted National Geographic to dub this stretch one of the world's best beaches. The sparkling, turquoise sea teases guests into seeking hidden treasures in the coral reefs or getting adventurous by earning PADI-diving certification. Deluxe beach beds, a mix of adult and family pools and separate family-friendly and adults-only wings increase the appeal of this Dominican Republic getaway.

Excellent resort
My husband and I celebrated our retirements by spending two weeks at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe in Jan this year. We have traveled extensively, but had never been to Punta Cana before. Bavaro Beach is one of the most wonderful beaches we have ever seen. Great swimming, plenty of shade to be found on the beach. Excellent meals, numerous choices well prepared and presented, friendly staff ready and willing to make your visit the best ever. We not only highly recommend this resort to anyone who asks, we are also planning on returning for another two weeks before the end of this year.
When we were looking to book this trip, we were spent from work and needed some time to relax and not worry about too much. but knowing us once we got there we would still want to explore a bit. This destination had it all. The staff was fantastic, and the food was great except the french restuarant. The complexis huge with many parts, some of wich were closed while we were there due to updating, but we didnt even miss them. Our room in the palace deluxe was clean, comfertable, and memorable. Really felt like a five star place. Had a amazing trip and will be back!
All though we enjoyed the last property we stayed at more than ths one, we still had a great time. The beach area itself was awesome, and the massages beach side where even better! The food was average, all though the steak place down by the beach had awesoem grilled steak. The room we had was an updated room and very cool Overall we enjoyed ourselves!
An excellent resort at a very reasonable price. Buffet meals were among the best of its type experienced. Friendly staff with good service. junior Deluxe Suite rooms were a treat.
Two Kilometers of some of the best beaches I've ever experienced anywhere. This resort is one we will definitely revisit, and soon.

which hotels have a clothing optional beach

Ted
Cheap Caribbean only has a few properties that have a "clothing optional" policy. They include Couples Tower Island, Club Ambiance and Hedonism in Jamaica. The Temptations resorts also have a topless option as well. Feel free to call one our experienced destination specialists to discuss additional options.

I don't know of any nude beaches in Punta Cana. I can tell you however, that Bavaro Palace Deluxe does not have a nude beach.

weather in jan.3 answers
Last time we were in Punta Canta in Jan. it was cold and rainy. We have been leery of going back ever since. Did we just hit a bad week or is that fairly normal. Want to try it again but that pretty much ruined our last vist.

Our family went the same week in early January for the past two years. The days were 85 degrees and lows at night in low 70's. The weather was picture perfect. We got incredible tans and went to the pool and beach the entire week. It rained one evening about 10 pm for about 15 minutes and the following morning when we were leaving for an hour or so off and on but you could tell it was going to clear and would be another great day. Actually went back there two years in a row because of the weather and some of the other resorts didn't have nearly as nice temperatures. Good Luck!

My daughter (age 30) and I parasailed. The operator of the excursion swam up to my daughter at the beach and offered para sailing for $75 for both of us. I thought we were a bit crazy to take him up on his offer but it was fine and we had fun. My sons and daughter (ages 23, 27, 30) went Dune Buggying for $65 each and they had a great time, although they got very muddy, so you have to plan for that. They swam in a cave as part of the excursion.

Hotel Description
Barceló Bavaro: Sparkling Shoreline, Signature Golf and 24-Hour Casino
Ready to clock out for some "me" time? Grab a swimsuit, and head for the sugary sands of Bávaro Beach at Barceló Bavaro Palace Deluxe in Punta Cana. Seductive, blue waters fringed by palm trees prompted National Geographic to dub this stretch one of the world's best beaches. The sparkling, turquoise sea teases guests into seeking hidden treasures in the coral reefs or getting adventurous by earning PADI-diving certification. Deluxe beach beds, a mix of adult and family pools and separate family-friendly and adults-only wings increase the appeal of this Dominican Republic getaway.
While the siren call of the beach is irresistible by day, after sunset, Lady Luck beckons at the 24-hour casino while mix-master DJs and Vegas-style extravaganzas keep you partying into the night. A Broadway-style theater serves up the best in nightly entertainment. From Spanish tapas to contemporary Japanese cuisine, an tempting array of dining options invite guests to try a new dish every night. Don't miss an opportunity to visit El Coral Restaurant where the seafood is so fresh it was swimming while you were at breakfast.
If you've got energy to burn, there's plenty to do at Barceló Bavaro Palace Deluxe, Punta Cana; all inclusive perks include a regulation-sized baseball diamond, a soccer field, a water park and a signature-18-hole golf course re-designed by one of the world's most inventive golf architects, P.B. Dye. Want to enjoy your vacation at a slower pace? Opt for pampering at the hotel's premier spa, Barceló U. Nothing beats their sublime, hot-stone massage on the terrace with Bali beds. Or, maybe a lazy afternoon of shopping at the 16-store arcade, followed by a refreshing piña colada from El Cielo Bar enjoyed poolside is just what the doctor ordered.
After a day of frolicking and fun in the sun, you need some relaxing down time, and we love the new, 610-square-foot Junior Suite Deluxe with its Jacuzzi on the terrace. Traveling with the family? We recommend the two-bedroom Family Room Deluxe units that feature two separate bedrooms and two terraces, one with a Jacuzzi.
