really disappointed with this stay
this was our 2nd time here and it was absolutely terrible. we go to dr every year for the past 8 years. this was the worst vacation we’ve had from the food to the service to the rooms and no wifi availability anywhere they tell you it’s free but it doesn’t even work. super disappointed. we came with our family like we do every year all 16 of us and we all agreed this was the worst stay and we will probably never return.

Excellent

Beautiful Barcelo Bavaro Palace Beach!
The beach and views are breathtaking! The rooms are modern and up to date and always had fresh sheets daily! Staff is very nice and always willing to help. This is my second time visiting!

Family Vacation made easy. You won’t have to worry about anything!
The room was very clean, also they’d would go every day if you wanted it. There was one available in the morning and in the evening to stock up anything you might need. The drinks in the mini fridge were included in the stay so that was a plus. Everything always got restocked every day. Except for the wine ofc, that was a first day gift. The buffet is great. You will most definitely find something to eat for everybody. Including picky eaters. The pools were nice and clean. We really enjoyed our stay there. Alan helped us arrange reservations and anything we needed! He was available 24/7 and was quick to respond with questions or the help I needed. The excursions that the resort provides were all great and a decent price. They would also pick you up from the hotel lobby to take you to your excursions as well as drop you back off. Overall, it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend it is very family friendly.
