“Unforgettable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

This vacation was pure bliss. We enjoyed every moment of every minute at the Resort. The adults only side is fabolous and is great for a real vacation. No kids, no noise, just adults and personal service from the staff. We were so loved by the staff especially Yunior Rosario who mostly worked in the Buffet Caribe. His attention and detail towards us were excellent and professional. We were able to cross over to the Palace Deluxe and it was just as beautiful. It was more of a family setting and we didn't really want to hear kids running and stuff because we really wanted to just relax but, we did enjoy the amneties so we our thankful we were able to use it. Everything was always clean and the food was GREAT! the A La Carte restaurants were so impressive. The service by the pool was great! They would come up to us every 10 minutes to make sure we didn't want another beverage or if we needed anything. This resort truly makes you feel special and as if you are a king or queen. Thank you Barcelo Bavaro Beach! My family and I had the best vacation we have been on.

Room Tip: Ocean view rooms are way bigger and nicer. The Junior suites are also connecting rooms and are beaut...

“A great week!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

Just got back from the BBB : one large, super clean and impressive resort! Site, beach, theater, disco and casino we are all great. Food was good except one bad experience at La Brisa. The best thing at the BBB : friendliness of the staff, mostly of Alexandra at the front desk who helped and entertained us with her nice smile! Golf is 8/10, better than the Cocotal at the Melia. Negative thing : noise from the staff cleaning the rooms is starting early and you can hear them in the corridor from your room. With that big of a resort, there is a way to be in the action or somewhere more quiet. Thanks to all the staff for that very nice week!

“Adults Only ahhh”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

Rooms: spacious but dated, super clean
Food: Most of the reserved dinners were at the Palace Deluxe, we didnt have a bad meal , nothing was amazing though but it was decent. My fav was the Mexican
Beach: The beach was nice, cleaned daily
Drinks: Long line ups at the bar, drinks were yummy not over poured like some of my previous experiences
Night Life: Disco was awesome same music nightly but fun(palace deluxe side), shows were well done on both sides, Casino slot machines kept eating my money

“Fantastic adults only Resort!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

My 2 best friends and I had a fantastic vacation at this Resort. And everyone who worked at the Resort helped make it wonderful. We were there in early Nov. which was perfect because it wasn't overcrowded. Always a chair open by the beach or pool. I loved walking up and down the beach every day, it just went on and on. The buffet was decent but the sister hotel buffet at The Palace Deluxe was better and easy to get to with the provided transportation. The service was very good, everyone was there to help you for whatever you might need. Rosario in the VIP area took very good care of us and made sure our needs were met and always with a smile. We were also taken very good care of by Mabel and Jackarya, they are very nice and professional. I also have to make sure to mention that Luna our bellman also took very good care of us when needed, such a nice man. Housekeeping also did a very good job and made sure to restock the mini fridge. I always leave tips for them, they work so hard. The one excursion we took that was booked through the Resort was taking a catamaran to go snorkeling. It was a 4 hour package that also included lunch and tons of fun in the sun & water and they got you up and dancing too! This is where we will stay again when we come back!

Room Tip: If you can afford to upgrade to a Superior Room Oceanfront view I highly recommend it and I would al...

“First Impressions are Lasting impressions”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

Our trip started as all do, the check in desk. Here I was greeted by what has to date become the most pleasant staff member I have ever had the pleasure of meeting,her name is Alexandra! I travel a lot and have come across some of the most disgruntled employees imaginable, Barcelo has none. The check in desk is the heart of the resort you will pass it every day of your stay. Alexandra is pleasant, knowledgeable, friendly, upbeat, helpful, and bilingual. The resort is beautiful, we stayed in the very last wing 4000+ the view was quite nice given it was not ocean front. The rooms are super clean beds are super comfortable and the AC will freeze your butt off! Plenty of resturants to choose from plus two buffets. You won't be disappointed. Book your trip and be sure to ask for Alexandra her charming personality and warm smile are sure to complete your stay!

Room Tip: Ocean front gets you VIP status
