    The rooms are a little bit old, not too much but is a little expensive for what you get

    The location is very good!

    For the drinks they are using disposable plastic cups and many people only throw it away in the sand what inevitably reaches the sea, ironically they give you the drink in a disposable cup with a paper straw,🙃, just use reusable glasses like in many other hotels I have visited, help the environment.

    The beach is the best, you always have a place to sit and there aren’t many people

    Whilst there was a wide variety of foods some was done very well others not so much. You will find something to eat but you might have to have that every night at the buffet. The bookable restaurants are worth booking on your first night. The soft drinks available at the buffets do not taste anything like their namesakes.

    The location is amazing, the beach is right on your doorstep and even if it's busy a short walk will take you to the quieter parts. Pools were fun and there were lots of activities to get involved with. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    Some employees are rude, especially by the adult water park area. Sodas especially come are always flat not gas whatsoever.

    The buffet food isn’t the best. They have a lot of variety but the quality is not good. We also didn’t like the steakhouse restaurant. It took us 1.5 hours to get our dinner and the quality wasn’t good. Check in time took us 45 minutes and then we had to go back and spent another 30 minutes to get our room number.

    The pool and beach area are great. They are big enough to have room for everyone but still it doesn’t feel crowded. A big plus for us was to have some water sports such as kayak, windsurfing, boats included. The Japanese restaurant is a must have. The best restaurant from all.

    Wi-fi connection is poor in some places. Superior room is a bit old.

    I like the location, one of the best beaches. There is a big choice of restaurants a la carte to choose for every evening. A lot of activities: theatre shows, sport bars, water aerobics, beach sport activities. The territory is well maintained, green and bright.

    The only thing I can point out that could be improved is the kids club offer. The kids club was great but there was no program for different activities throughout the day, it was more of a free play type of thing where younger kids quickly got bored. The staff was nice but would’ve been great if their English was better. For non-Spanish speaking children I felt like there was a language barrier that made our toddler a bit lost at times and he needed us to help him communicate with the staff on his behalf. The staff felt shay to engage kids who didn’t speak Spanish also.

    First of all I will begin by saying that we staid in the Premium suite and wow it was huge! We were in the building closest to the main buffet, pools and the beach which was an excellent choice as this resort is massive and a more distant location on the property would be way less convenient. The food in the buffet was fresh and the variety was amazing! The hotel restaurants don’t disappoint either! Lunch and breakfast at the Coral and dinner at La Comedieu was superb. The place is very clean and well maintained. Overall we hit the jackpot with Barceló Bavaro!

    Only walking from our room to the reception. But it was healthy for us as we enjoyed the early night sunshine walk to. Otherwise all good.

    The resort we stayed at was absolutely amazing. The facilities are so beautiful and easily accessible. & my wife and I would dearly like to come again and definitely recommend it to families & friends.. The room we had was very comfortable and the facilities in the room were super.

    We had two patios in the Family Room suite. The views were not great, one side faced a sidewalk and the other an enclosed area with trees.

    We had the two bedroom family suite and the rooms were spacious and clean. Rooms were cleaned daily. The refrigerator was restocked daily with large bottles of water and other beverages.

    That they gave you only 2 towels. When we asked for an extra, we were told they were out later. Dinner reservations were never booked correctly. So twice they weren't able to find my name. Most staff didn't really smile.

    The view was beautiful. The hotel was big,nice and clean. Had a variety of things to do.
