My husband and I have actually stayed at Barcelo Bavaro Beach Resort in Punta Cana three times. The first time we stayed at the Golf Hotel, the second time at the Caribe and the third time at the Palace (we got married there June 28, 2008). I feel compelled to write because of all the horrible reviews other people have... more

Well, we arrived at the hotel at around 1pm to check into our room. When we had first arrived we were not acknowledged for about 15 minutes and there had not even been a line. We then approached a man named Orlando who did not smile and seemed rather in a bad mood. After finding our reservation, I explained to... more

We were bumped from the Bavaro Beach to the Caribe. Check in horrible. No one at the desk spoke english. Majority of staff very unfriendly sometimes rude, with the exception of a few. Letting the locals in for a cheap day is a huge downfall. My niece went on the beach to take pictures of the sunrise just to find... more

We were 'bumped' into the Caribe at 36hrs notice after the Sunscape decided to close so we arrived not in the best of moods. Check-in took ages. Room was incredibly smelly and musty and in dire need of refurbishment. The TV and the lamps were broken, we are news junkies, and the safe stopped working immediately. (The TV was replaced... more

The food was horrible (very few things on the menu were mediocre at best). The rooms had a moldy odor and were rundown. I've stayed at 4-star hotels many times before, and this IS NOT one of them. I suggest look elsewhere! more

Don't stay here the service was the pits. When we arrived our lock was broken, took three days to fix it. Would not put us in a another room, claimed they were all booked. Booked thru Apple Vacations and they were no help at all. Never Again. more

We just got back from Barcelo Bavaro Caribe Beach in Punta Cana. We have stayed @ the Barcelo Maya 6 times on the Mayan Riv.. It was always wonderful. The Punta Cana facility has the worst service, condescending attitudes of the workers, no beer, flat beer, no coke,no ability to speak English, NO service, can't get change, cold food, not... more

I just returned from this the Barcelo Bavara Caribe (March 27th- April 3rd). Overall we had a good vacation. This was our first time to the Dominican but have travelled many other places in the world. Our room was the perfect location (6338) not far from the lobby, pool and beach. As all the other reviews say they are alittle... more

Just got back today had a great time despite all the bad reviews. First of all i must say this place is on the older side,but our room was always very clean. We did have a few problems with our room, like plugs but they were fixed right away. Staff was always very freindly and spoke English the best they... more
