"Overall, very good vacation. Would give 4.5 stars if I could. Went in early July"

"Beautiful property with well-maintained grounds. Plenty of space to lounge throughout the property, plenty of restaurant choices. Uncrowded beach and pool area. Spacious suite with swim-up pool and in suite jacuzzi. Well stocked mini-bar. Staff was great, always welcoming and helpful. Fun beach side entertainment and activities. Great place to relax and unwind."

"I recently stayed at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace and had a truly unforgettable experience. The resort itself is stunning – from the pristine beaches to the beautifully maintained grounds, everything exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious, the amenities were top-notch, and the variety of activities made each day exciting. What truly made my stay exceptional, however, was the outstanding service provided by our personal butler, Jorge. From the moment we arrived, Jorge went above and beyond to ensure our trip was smooth and enjoyable. He was incredibly attentive, always checking in with us to see if we needed anything, and quick to assist with restaurant reservations, spa bookings, and even helping with special requests. Jorge’s warm personality, professionalism, and genuine care made us feel so welcome and taken care of. He truly elevated our experience and turned a great vacation into an exceptional one. Thank you, Jorge, for your incredible service – and thank you to the entire team at Barcelo Bavaro Palace. I can’t wait to return! "

"Overall a really great experience. Would prefer the property to use key cards instead of extremely tight wristbands that have to stay on your wrist during your entire stay at the resort. Super inconvenient for obvious reasons. "

"Great food, nice views, lovely area"

"I had an amazing time. Platinum rooms were amazing. Food, beach, ambiance, staff and beds were great. "

"Perfecto"

"Gorgeous property. Landscaping was 10/10. Only criticism is that the kids club and water park are quite far from the main hotel."

"Everything was smooth, the customer service, the food and the property amenities, the only thing I can say they can improve is the AC, we had 2 rooms and none of them ever felt cold."
