Hotel Overview


Barceló Bávaro Beach, an Adults Only property, is located on one of National Geographic's Ten Best Beaches in the World, in dreamy Punta Cana. An ideal resort for couples seeking adventure and endless activities, this all-inclusive resort will particularly appeal to snorkeling enthusiasts and beach lovers. This lush oasis has reinvented itself with a complete renovation to become an adults-only resort. 

Offering first-class comfort, 80% of its 589 rooms are located right on the beachfront, making this resort perfect for your friends' getaway or romantic interlude. As one of two hotels inside the Barceló Bávaro Complex, guests also receive full access to the neighboring hotel and complimentary transportation services throughout the resort complex. 

Enjoy the exquisite range of cuisines at ten restaurants in the Barceló Bávaro Complex including the Caribbean Buffet, Chez Gourmet (international), La Brisa (Mediterranean), El Coral (Seafood), Santa Fe (Steakhouse), La Dolce Vita (Italian), Mexico Lindo (Mexican), La Fuente (Spanish), Kyoto ($) (Japanese), and La Comedie ($). 

There are so many fun-filled activities to fill your days; play a game of soccer, tennis, baseball, or bowling at the alley on site (additional fees apply). For golf enthusiasts, enjoy the scenic, palm-studded, P.B. Dye designed 18-hole course. Try your hand at snorkeling or windsurfing in the bright turquoise water. Lounge with your favorite Dominican Rum cocktail by one of the five pools, including a chill-out, relaxation pool. 

For ultimate relaxation, take advantage of a 45-minute hydrothermal circuit at the full-service wellness center. There are also two massage beds right in the pool area for your pleasure. When the sun sets, the nights heat up in the spectacular theater, inspired by Las Vegas with two levels of entertainment for you to enjoy, a bar on each level and waitress service so that you do not miss any of the fabulous shows. Then let your inner James Bond out to play in the casino at the best gaming destination in the Caribbean (open 24-hours).

    Awesome Birthday Week!

    What an awesome time my husband and I had at Barcelo Adults Only. Room was ready from check-in. Our room was very cool all the time which was nice, very comfortable bed and pillows. Our housekeeper always made sure we had everything we needed in our room from linen and towels. Gotta give special shoutouts to our waiter/bartender Elizabeth Rodriguez during the night entertainment who always made sure we had our preferred drinks on hand! She was such a pleasure, even went out her way to get my husband a birthday cake and sing to him which was a great surprise! Also can’t forget the entertainment team (Ariana, Jason, Ezequiel, Chris Brown and the whole crew) were simply the best! Thank You Barcelo for an awesome birthday week for my husband!

    Dissappointment awaits you...

    Resort Barvaro Beach was pretty. That is where it ends. Staff was indifferent and inconvenienced by questions: Do you have Jameson? The answer was nonverbal and a rushed hand along the bar with the bartender walking away completely. Asking to meet with guest services after a request to schedule airport transfers I was given a hand gesture and told hastily "over there" After doing that three different times, I finally found it myself (behind a separate check-in at a back office completely out of view from common foot traffic). Food at the buffet was often undercooked/cold in the middle including meat and underattended (served once and left under warming lamps to crust/scorch on top) with few variations. Greeting staff was often ignored/unaswered. With some charges questioned, I simply asked where they were generated: upcharge for dinner at the Palace (sister resort)? I even contacted Barcelo but was met with a VERY different tone as when I booked. Customer service is severely lacking at every turn for an all inclusive. I am a seasoned traveler who is very low maintenance and I was extremely disappointed. Price is reasonable but seriously consider extending your search. We have many island trips planned and this first experience will be our last.

    Not what we expected.

    Rooms and staff need attention by upper management and chain of command. Wife and I did not receive what was offered and promised for our anniversary.
