Please don't let these awful reviews keep you from staying at the Palace. Our group was a group of 5 from the ages of 21 - 44. After reading all of these reviews I was just waiting for this awful place that was supposed to be the Barcelo Bavaro Palace. I never found it! The only complaints are that, yes,... more

We stayed at the Barcelo Palace on Bavaro Beach from May 5th to 15th of 2007. The Good. The beach at the Palace is beautiful and there is an abundance of clean, working lounge chairs both in the sun and under palm/pine trees in the beach area. As you go down the beach to the two other Barcelo properties the... more

Ride from airport to hotel was bumpy but actually fun. Checked in immediately. We were promised an ocean view room but wound up in a normal one instead. Room was spacious but had mold in bathroom and shower curtain stunk up the entire room. We found the grounds to be kept pretty well; staff always cleaning, painting, trimming etc. We... more

Where do I begin ...Friends and I went to the Barceló Bávaro Palace for a girls getaway for 5 days and had the worst experience. Our reservation was messed up from the beginning from the pont where they stated they took American express and then they would only take MC or Visa (luckily I had another card). We had to... more

If you are reading endless reviews of this resort...my advice is to stop right after reading this one. I worried myself sick reading all of these before our honeymoon...so much that I was holding my breath that our honeymoon would go well. Imagine being nervous and all worked up about going on vacation...it makes no sense at all! TripAdvisor is... more

I just recently returned from the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Resort in Punta Cana. The staff was not helpful at all. No one speaks any English and don't appear like they ever would like to. God forbid, that you would like to accomodate your paying guests. All the entertainment was in Spanish as well as poor quality. I had a a... more

Barcelo Bavaro Palace Date of Stay..April 26 - May 3, 2007 We really enjoy Punta Cana as this was our 3rd trip. We made the mistake of staying at Barcelo Bavaro Palace. We were told that this is the nicest property, unfortuanely they are all bad. The Palace is rundown and outdated..the rooms need to be redecorated. There was mold... more

This hotel was outstanding when you compare it to Latin American hotels...if you are going to compare it to hotels in Vienna, Munich etc u may be disappointed....the food was good and the availability of 15 restaurants and 18 bars was outstanding...staff was always courteous and friendly...the only down side to the hotel were some of the guests esp. a... more

Our check in process was futile, the lady there laughed at us , then gave us a wristband, said our room was not ready, come back 3 -clock! we asked a man why, he shot back- ISSS NOT REY-EEE come bag 3 clock! go eat lunch, this was 1230. We walked aimlessly up the resort, nobody would direct us to... more
