I would ABSOLUTLEY recommend this hotel to friends. Though it was very quiet and had limited nighlife, the hotel grounds were picturesque. The rooms were clean and spacious, the food was bad but, I hear that is to be expected anywhere in the Dominican Republic?? Besides, losing weight on vacation is always nice, right?! :) The hotel staff was very... more

We returned from the Palace on April 11th 2008. When checking in the front desk could use some help. The service is very slow. When checking in they were aware that we needed a pool side room since my husband can only walk a short distance. They put us in building 4 which was to far from the pool We... more

After reading the reviews we was really nervous. we decided that we wont go with an open mind and make up our own minds. As soon as we arrived at the resort we knew we were in paradise. we were... more

This resort fit our needs to a "T". Golf, great food, lots to do at both the pool and beach and a casino for 'extra' entertainment! Having stayed at Melia Caribe last year - I would go back to Barcelo Bavaro Palace in a heart beat - maybe next year! Much more to do and the food was much better... more

We stayed at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace in Punta Cana the second week of March, 2008 and absolutely loved it there. We had full access to 4 other resorts: the BBBeach, BBCaribe, BBGolf & Spa, & the BBCasino. The other resorts could not use our facilities, as the Palace is the top of that chain; which was nice because our... more
