The Hoyo 19 is the best restaurant at the resort. No need for reservation and the food is excellent. Yissel Ines was efficient and really sweet to all of us. All inclusive is the way to go. We purchased Delta Vacations and so far is the best.. Even the vip bracelets last longer ;)

For seven years I've been visiting Barcelo every summer. I do not have the words to express how happy and satisfied I feel after each experience. Yessica Lubares and her staff of beautiful and gracious hosts, made feel special and unique. Their attention to details, enthusiatic service, and profusely desire to make us feel welcome are second to none. I... More

Resort is very clean and beautiful. The food at most of the Restaurants was exceptional. Stay away from the buffet if at all possible. Very very disappointing. This resort is primarily for families and NOT for couples. There are small kids and strollers everywhere even in bars at 10:00 at night. The resort staff including customer service really came accross... More

My husband and I went on our honeymoon here and sadly I didn't read other reviews on here before. I will start out by saying that the facilities are beyond beautiful and the beach and pool areas are kept pristine. Our room was very nice as well. The nightmare is with the staff. When we got there, after flying all... More

Went during the week of May 12-19th 2013 with my wife for our 10 year anniversary. Overall the resort is a great place to stay. Several pools, (including an adult only), clean beach with plenty of chairs for relaxing, plenty of different foods to choose from, and all around friendly staff. There was a bit of a language barrier, so... More

My wife and I stayed a week for our anniversary in May 2013. We have traveled all over the world to remote areas and decided to try an all inclusive. The Bavaro Beach was our first and last time we will do an all inclusive due to our experience. They offer great promotions with tons of resort credit. Don't think... More

Spent 4 nights at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe. All in all fabulous vacation. Went with children ages 19 and 20. We booked the family deluxe suite to get 2 bedrooms. It was nice we tried to upgrade to a 2 bedroom 2 bath suite they told us the next day we could upgrade. Got the run around come back... More

Although the resort does deserve the 4.5-star ranking because it IS beautiful and in a great location, the poor service and food was that of a 3-star resort. For the price that we paid and the high ranking, we were all expecting much better. Our overall experience was good but I would only recommend this resort if you can get... More
