We were bumped off of our flight when returning and ended up staying here for the night. Prior to coming here we had preconceived notions about the star rating and expected a better place. However, upon arrival we were very disappointed. The worst part about this hotel was the room. The bathroom's were filthy and bug ridden. The air conditioning... more

I've stayed at Carabela Bavaro Resort and it's an amazing hotel! The staff is very friendly, the hotel itself is beautiful and clean, and I have no words to describe the beach and the natural beauty!

We had hesitated to book here after reading some of the reviews on this site but, we went ahead with it anyway. We were mainly looking for a great beach where we could relax for a week. We found exactly... more

Beach was shaded pretty much all the time. The large trees near shore had you dodging their shadows all day...... only good place to get sun was around the pool. Pools, nice and big, but not heated, or kept all that clean..... Room was ground floor, clean and large, bed was a king, quiet section, no issues except for the... more
