My wife and I stayed a week for our anniversary in May 2013. We have traveled all over the world to remote areas and decided to try an all inclusive. The Bavaro Beach was our first and last time we will do an all inclusive due to our experience. They offer great promotions with tons of resort credit. Don't think... More

Spent 4 nights at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe. All in all fabulous vacation. Went with children ages 19 and 20. We booked the family deluxe suite to get 2 bedrooms. It was nice we tried to upgrade to a 2 bedroom 2 bath suite they told us the next day we could upgrade. Got the run around come back... More

Although the resort does deserve the 4.5-star ranking because it IS beautiful and in a great location, the poor service and food was that of a 3-star resort. For the price that we paid and the high ranking, we were all expecting much better. Our overall experience was good but I would only recommend this resort if you can get... More

My husband and I came to Barcelo Bavaro for our honeymoon for 6 nights. We could not have enjoyed our trip more. It is truly a spectacular place and kept up very well; it is just beautiful. We loved the buffet for lunch, and my suggestion for lunch would be to go to Hoyo 19 by the golf course, the... More

I have been to the Barceló Maya Palace Deluxe in Riviera Maya, and after a great experience there, was excited to try this property. I wish I had stayed in Riviera Maya. My husband and I are laid back people, it takes a lot for us to get upset. But we also work in the hotel industry, and as management... More

Just spent 15 nights staying at the palace deluxe hotel. We have stayed at Iberostar all inclusives in Mexico, cruised around the Carribbean and stayed at many other similar styled resorts. This is by far the best. The communal areas are modern and stylish, rooms are well appointed and clean, the pool areas fantastic and the most exquisite beach which... More

This was a beautiful hotel - kept very clean. The rooms were nice and big and we had a gorgeious view of the beach from our room! One complaint would be the hot tub - it leaked so you could not keep it full or it would overflow... weak pressure! Restaurants were very good - especially the ones that you... More

There were a group of 4 of us (2 couples) who spent one week on the facility, in the adults only section. Food was great. Service, phenomenal. We spent one day at the swim-up bar, and as expected it was a bit child-ridden. Adult children, too. Otherwise, the overall clientele being of more European and Russian background, things on the...

I was truly concerned regarding our upcoming 2 week stay at this resort. As soon as we arrived the staff could not do enough to help us accommodate. Our check-in/out was completed within 5 minutes. The concierge staff were especially helpful in assisting us in booking our meals and excursions. The housekeeper, Rosario C, could not do enough for us.... More
