Barceló Hotels Hotels in Bavaro

The hotel is big and super nice The beach was not top I understood that the period was not the best one. In term of foods super nice especially the idea of having dinner à la carte. That changes front thé buffet The animation team is cool and you can not get bored Highly recommend for couples or family

This review is for the UNIQUE part of Lopesan Costa Bavaro. My wife and I spent 4 nights in May 2023. We had an amazing time during our stay that was nothing short of amazing. Our butler Victor was amazing and made sure no question went unanswered, no request was too much for him. We spent most of our time in the UNIQUE specific amenities (Restaurant/Bar/Beach/Pool) – the breakfast and lunch buffet very tremendous, the food was great and there was something for everyone. We especially enjoyed the fresh passionfruit at breakfast. The service at the beach was great, rarely did we not have a passionfruit margarita in our hands. The restaurants for dinner (We did the Steakhouse, the French restaurant, the UNIQUE only restaurant and the restaurant where UNIQUE members don’t have to pay extra to eat at) where all really good – the food was always very tasty, the presentation was appealing to the eye and service was friendly and fast. The room was clean, quiet and we always came back to a perfectly made room after our time at the beach. We are looking forward to our next stay!

Came here for vacation at the wrong time of the year, there were not many people, and the overall feeling was very good. Although the building facilities are a bit old, they are still in good condition overall. The beach is so beautiful. All-inclusive (drinks, meals, snacks) on call, it feels great! The only regret is that the Japanese restaurant provided by the hotel is actually a Caribbean-style restaurant (not an authentic Japanese restaurant). As for the BUFFET or French restaurant, they are both good. There is also a LIVE SHOW at 9 o'clock every night, but it is a bit outdated. Overall, the vacation experience is very enjoyable!

It has been a pleasant stay. The customer service provided by the hotel has been satisfactory in general. The all-inclusive offer could be improved from my point of view. And for that price it could have included the transfer. Improvable facilities, especially the gym, which is not suitable for this hotel, is very small and inaccessible, it seems like a maze to enter. And the spa is also very poor and not even included in the offer of the all-inclusive package with a superior room. When in Spain 90% is included both services, transfer and spa. Great hotel, great chain, but my face of satisfaction for some other things remains indifferent for that reason... The variety in the food buffet was not too much either... it is compensated by the customer service and the environment of virgin beaches. Then a detail is the overweight in terms of street vendors outside and inside the enclosure...even with the massages...

I liked everything very much. I am very glad that I chose this hotel. Delicious and varied food. Friendly staff and top notch service. The rooms and grounds are very clean. We don't want to leave

We stayed at Punta Cana Princess for a week(Sep.28-Oct.4)). My wife and I had an amazing time. Everything was perfect. Amazing staff, very friendly, and they will go over and beyond accommodate you. Miguel at the guest service was fenonenal. Very nice guy, friendly, kind. He was there for us anytime. Beach was spectacular, breathtaking. The food was amazing, too. I am raw vegan, and they had so much variety of fruit and vegetables, and it tastes sooooooo good. Delicious. I felt like I was in paradise. My wife eats everything, and she enjoyed her food as well. The room was very clean, spacious, and updated. Perfect. I highly recommend this resort, and we will be back.

Ocean Blue is a medium size resort. Not small. Not huge like Iberostar. However it has lots of fine dining (5) onsite just like the huge ones. Their beach is perfect with lots of free cabana like shaded seating. Only surprise was our scuba shop was onsite but actual dive boat was 2 resorts down the beach at Iberostar. A 10 minute walk, no problem. This side of island a bit choppy for diving. Smoother on South side. Resort super clean, safe and friendly staff. More young families and older couples. No Spring Break teens! Highly recommend this resort for families.

My 3rd review of this hotel. In 2022 I thought it was perfect and returned. in 2023 it was still very good but quality had slipped a bit. I am delighted to report that in 2024 it has returned to the perfection of 2022 and maybe even better, which I suppose proves it wasn't perfect before. What are the changes? i am delighted to say there are a few and all positive. They have added a new restaurant and extended the menu at the existing restaurants. They have added a beautiful new walkway over a small nature reserve to the new Italian restaurant, which is also a new section of the hotel. They have also added waterslides but this is away from the main hotel which is both good for the children and the parents and makes the main pools quieter. The entertainment has also improved and returned to the quality of 2022 or maybe slightly better with typically a singer at 8pm and a show at 9pm , a micro improvement here would be a 14 day rota not 7 days, we did sit through the same shows as last week sometimes. Some form of entertainments for the adults lasting to midnight would be a welcome addition It did feel they were quite pleased if you went to be at 10pm because it means you are not drinking any more., The Butlers have been re badged as personal Concierge, I have no idea what the difference is but ours ,Yacaira was helpful and friendly. We again had a preferred club swim up room and this option is worth the higher price. As previously reported the quality of this hotel is wonderful, no tacky wrist bands, no fobbing you off with cheap drinks. Everything exudes quality. We have now been 3 times and we are thinking of booking again. Top tip, I know the hotel pool is beautiful but do spend some time on the wonderful beach.
