    Estada in Barcelo Bavaro Beach

    Wonderful hotel, comfortable, great food and drink, lots of entertainment every day, attentive and helpful staff. Honest value and compatible with the service. I recommend it to everyone

    Great staff, decent stay, lot of seaweed

    Barceló Bávaro Beach is a decent Caribbean resort with exceptional, dedicated staff. A special shoutout goes to our concierge, Daniel, who went the extra mile to accommodate our needs. Restaurants worth visiting: La Brisa, La Fuente, and Le Comedie—you can skip the rest. We were unlucky with the amount of seaweed on the beach, but that’s to be expected on this coast of the DR in August.

    Excellent from Check-In to Check-Out

    From Arrival to Check Out, everything was Five Stars at Barceló Bávaro Beach. Mrs Francia Garcia took personalized care to the detail during our Premium stay! Transfer between Adult Hotel and Palace was effortless with their frequent Train service. The variety of food options never disappointed us, and the drinks were above and beyond quality. Bartenders know what they are doing and they remember your choices, so you can go back to what you enjoy most: relax at the pool and the beach. I’ll come back to Barceló Bávaro soon!
