    “Punta Cana vacation”

    The staff (except at the Mexican restaurant) and the services were very good. The rooms are outdated and our first room was leaking at night during rain. The beach was not good due to weeds and the stale water was a bit smelly. They remove the floating weeds often but there are a lot of weeds that grows under water which makes it hard to swim. The nearby Macao beach is very good. The water sports were very good. Very helpful people by the water sports. The shopping is very expensive.

    “Great time, very friendly staff, nice resort.”

    Went there about two weeks ago and stayed five nights with my wife and three children (ages 8, 9 and 13). Overall, we had a great time. The resort staff is very friendly and the property is very nice. Would I return again, yes. On to some specifics... the check in process was what I expected; it took too long. That said, it is no different than the other all inclusive resorts we have stayed at in the past as well as several other Caribbean hotels; certainly isn't as expeditious as a Marriott or a Westin. We stayed in the "family section" which for some reason is the furthest from the beach and the main pools. I guess its located there to be quieter. The room itself was fine, clean and spacious. No issues with the room at all and it was cleaned/serviced daily. There are beverages in the refrigerator as well as a few snacks that can be enjoyed and restocked daily. The restaurants were all great (ate at both main buffets as well as the Mexican & Santa Fe Steakhouse). Lidia at the main buffet was always very friendly and helpful. The pools... we visited the main two pools daily as well as the two kid pools. All were very clean and nice. The only issue with the main pool was the scarcity of available chairs. People would basically come a little early and place towels on chairs and never use them (see the two attached pictures of the pool). I finally asked one of the towel staff if he could get my family of five two lounge chairs near the pool (not five, but just two). He was very helpful and went and got two chairs and placed them next to the pool. We did this daily. Every day we sat next to the main pools and I was amazed at how many chairs with towels on them went completely unused. Literally, we would sit down for four and five hours at a time and no one would come to the "occupied" chairs and the staff never removed the towels. The pool bars were great and if you tip $1 every other drink you never wait very long for the next beer or cocktail. The beaches... well, we must have arrived after a big seaweed bloom or something (see picture of beach). Unfortunately the staff never seemed to rake it up or do anything about it while we were there. One tip, I alluded to it earlier, is to bring lots of $1's and $5's. I tipped at the bar often and at the pool (for chairs) and the service dramatically improved. FYI... the only beer served at the pool is Presidente; very tasty though. Lastly, I read several reviews prior to arrival and noticed several responses from who I imagine was the GM, but never did I see any action or statement saying the issue was resolved. This place was nice and my kids really enjoyed themselves. If it wasn't for the beach (seaweed) and the chair issues, I would have given it five stars.

    “June Vacation”

    First time there in the month of June and I enjoyed it because it was very quiet and tranquil. I was happy that they upgraded us because in all the years we have been going there they never did. First time that check-in was a breeze but then again we arrived at 10:30 am. The water was very nice as well as the temperature and breeze at the beach. Lots of seaweed when we arrived but I don't know if people complaint because by the third day it was cleaned up.

    “Carey Lobby Bar is A plus!”

    We have been to Barcelo Bavaro twice in the past 6 months. The Carey Bar in the lobby of the Barcelo Bavaro Palace is consistently wonderful! The staff is always warm and happy, and they remember your favorite drinks time and again! Welfri Pena and Lourdes Mercedez were fantastic behind the bar every time. And Yocari Lazala is the best waitress... ask her for a cherry in your champagne!!

    “Great Family Vacation”

    This was our fourth trip to the Barcelo Bavaro and we all enjoyed it even more than last year! Food was very good and the service was great at the restaurant and the pool. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed both the sailing and kayaking. We’re planning on going again next year.
