This was our 4th trip to the Barcello Palaceand 12th time to the Dominican Republic. We stayed for 11 days. We always stayed at the high end of the resort for the better service,food and surroundings.Not this time. We were upgraded to the junior suites which were very nice rooms.but was a long way from everything. No musty smell. This... more

Requested ocean view room. Got room next to a constuction site, started jack-hammering at 8 a.m. Food bad. Should have health inspector on premisies! Service lousy , unfriendly, and at times non-existent. Casino was archaic. Business centre was a joke. more

My fiance and I just returned from our trip and what a disappointment!!!!!!! The majority of the property was closed and we were unaware until after our arrival! Therefore, the majority of the food and drink options were unavailable to us which we paid for. Upon our arrival we were not given the room we paid for. After changing rooms,... more

I make the best of wherever we go. it is hard with a case of raging Diarrhea. DO NOT drink the water, ice, icecream or fruit unless cooked . be careful and then you may still get sick. I have never been so sick, and i still am. we are not the only ones. Please reconsider your destination. There are... more

I took my sons - 16 and 9 to a family vacation to the Barcelo Bavaro Caribe Beach hotel. It was closed for renovations so we were upgraded to the Barcelo Bavaro Palace. We all had a great time! I loved the beach, the sun and closeness of everything. The beach could not be better - water was warm, the... more

Nice size hotel. I don't like hotels that you can get lost at. Food was good. Specialty restaurants were great!!! We were in area 8 which was right next to a small pool that was always empty ( everone was either at the beach or the larger pool. From there a stones throw to the beach or swim up bar... more

This trip was organized by a friend who is from the Dominican Republic. She had been to other resorts in Punta Cana but wanted to try something new. I was especially impressed that because it was a Barcelo resort, we could gain access to other resorts not just the one we were staying at. The beach looked and felt natural,... more

Stayed at the oceanfront Bavaro Palace Deluxe Junior Suites in January 2009 and just loved it. The suites are really nicely done - brand new, modern, sleek - very clean. All of them had a jacuzzi on the balcony, which is really nice. The view is absolutely spectacular - the beach is beautiful. The grounds are very pretty and very... more

Prior to booking I researched reviews and found them to be helpful. The most valuable review for me and passing it on here again was "a 5 star resort in the USA is not the same as a 5 star in Punta Cana." It was beautiful, the people were friendly, language barrier does exist but if we want people to... more

My sister, friend, and I stayed here from August 29 through September 5. The junior suite deluxe was very nice, but did not have 2 bedrooms which the agent at AOL travel/Travelocity said it would have. Our main complaint was the food. It was not horrible, but neither was it great. Meats were overcooked and dry no matter how you... more
