I planned a trip for a group of 11, including myself. We booked 5 rooms at this hotel. I wrote a detailed reveiw so that people will be aware. Arrival: Parts of the desk arent marked so I waitedin line only to be told to wait on the other side of the desk for the same people to assist me.... more

This was not my ideal vacation, and although the resort is beautiful, the rooms were not the cleanest I've stayed in. My sheets smelled like mildew, as a result of the dampness of the room, and I believe I may have been bitten by a bedbug or two during my week stay. Guest services were not the least bit accommodating... more

It was a group trip with 11 of us. Out of all of us we all think the rooms were disgusting and there were bed bugs. the comforters looked as if they were never washed. My housekeeper did clean the room and we was very nice. I felt safe in my room. The doors had alot of space for creatures... more

I recently stayed at the Barcelo Bavaro in July 2008 when I first arrived it was a little confusing and the time was not the greatest time mid afternoon since I was quiet hungry. Check in actually went pretty well we got the room we were promised which was great, right next to the pool which is what we wanted... more

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

On just returning from what was meant to be the best day of any mothers life, i just thought i should warn anyone thinking of getting married or even just holidaying in this hell hole of a resort. we went here for my sons wedding, the dream wedding everyone dreams of, white sand blue seas, oh yes lovely only to... more
