As one of the best hotels in Punta Cana, the Bavaro Palace is only a link in the huge hotel complex Barcelo. This is a destination for demanding and well-off holiday-makers.

Located in Punta Cana, the tourist epicentre in the country with its 25 miles of beach, encircled by the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, on the southwest coast of the Dominican Republic, the Barcelo Bavaro Palace hotel is on the Bavaro beach, some 30 miles from the bustling town of Higuey (45 minutes) and 125 miles from Santo Domingo, the capital town of the Dominican Republic. Las Americas, the international airport of Santo Domingo, is located 118 miles away (three hours). The airport of Punta Cana is 13 miles from the hotel (15 minutes).
All 594 rooms at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace offer a view of the sea! Very spacious (about 430 ft²), modest and comfortable, they are worthy of a hotel of very good standing and have air conditioning, satellite television, a fridge-bar, a bathroom with marble bath, a hair dryer and a safe included in the tourist package.
This hotel, built in 1993, has 594 rooms distributed in 6 buildings, each housing 99 rooms. Luxurious, it has everything to satisfy the most demanding customers: a very beautiful beach, a swimming pool, four tennis courts... Better yet, it is integrated into the gigantic structure, Barcelo, where everything is possible (especially for those coming from the Palace), even going to Mass on Sunday!
The five restaurants of the Barcelo Bavaro Palace, semi-open or air-conditioned, offer tasty cuisine. Do not miss: the gourmet restaurant, Palace, as an option, delicious and perfect for a romantic dinner. The Grand Caribe buffet and three grill restaurants serving a la carte are also very popular. Above all, the Barcelo Bavaro Palace - the only hotel in Punta Cana where lobster is served a will... Much better! The customers of this hotel can dine and drink a glass in all the restaurants and bars of the entire complex Barcelo.
The beach of the Barcelo Bavaro Palace hotel, namely Playa Bavaro, is the most famous in Punta Cana. With its transparent waters and white sand, it is difficult not to be seduced! The beach extends far beyond the horizon, although it does not belong only to the hotel - all neighbouring resorts share this beach. The only problem: the nagging noise of the boat engines, which fly by on the waves all day. The beach of the Barcelo Bavaro Palace provides many deckchairs and houses the water sports centre, which offers a wide range of activities.
The Barcelo Bavaro Palace is clearly one of the best hotels in Punta Cana. This resort is distinguished by the quality of its services and its facilities. Absolutely incredible! The complex into which it is incorporated forms part of the six Barcelo hotels, a real village. A casino, a chapel, shops, golf course, disco, restaurants - nothing is missing in this amazing world. An eldorado for those who love large closed and secured holiday compounds. However, the most curious may get bored: the Dominican lifestyle is far, far from the planet Barcelo.

Hôtel très agréable, au confort moderne. La décoration de la chambre est vraiment très soignée. Le petit plus, très apprécié durant notre voyage en amoureux, le jacuzzi sur le balcon vue mer ... Pour nous un réel délice. Les repas sont de bonne qualités dans les différents restaurant de l'ensemble hôtelier. Le personnel ne parle pas ou vraiment très peu le Français. L'anglais est un plus pour profiter pleinement des services de l'hôtel. Un cadre idéal pour des vacances au gout
Le confort et une ambiance luxueuse omniprésente dans la chambre et dans le reste de l'hôtel. La mer et la plage de sable blanc et rose sont magnifiques !
Spectacle et personnel non francophone. Les sorties de l'hôtel seul été déconseillé mais cela ne nous a pas dérangés.

tout confort, belle plage, complexe très grand avec boutiques
assez loin du centre commercial
The Barcelo Bavaro Beach Resort is a world apart. In this gigantic hotel complex, nothing is missing for the comfort of its guests... Except for the ambiance of the country.

The EdenH Real Arena is one of the latest high-class resorts on Punta Cana, and was inaugurated in January 2008. All the facilities are of a remarkably high quality, from the restaurants and swimming-pools, to the gym and the very VIP children's club. It is one of the best for its clubs.

Tortuga Bay: the name of this luxury boutique hotel immediately brings to mind the Caribbean, pirates, and the idea of escape.

The Punta Cana Hotel was not wrong in its decision to move away from the beautiful Bavaro and its too many resorts. This hotel, built at the end of the 1980s will give you a chance to discover a superb environment.

A veritable resort, this upmarket paradise certainly wins the award for luxury in Punta Cana! The exclusive section of the Paradisus Palma Real, The Reserve at Paradisus Palma Real Resort is set back from the exquisite Bavaro Beach, 10 minutes away, but that's its only flaw (there has to be at least one). Highlights include the spacious, maximum comfort apartments, equipped with a kitchen and a terrace with a whirlpool bath, the superb spa, the fully equipped kids club, the free Internet access, and the gastronomy, with a special mention for the Japanese restaurant. Of course, guests also have access to the facilities at the Paradisus Palma Real.
Nestled in an overcrowded place, the Sivory Punta Cana is an exceptional address for holidaymaking in the Dominican Republic and will delight couples seeking romance and serenity. Refined dining, exceptional service and ambiance of design will satisfy even the most demanding visitors.

The Gran Bahia Principe Ambar is the top-class part of the Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro, a vast resort offering all types of facilities and services for you to have a pleasant stay on the paradisiacal coast of Punta Cana. Quieter and less family-orientated than its two neighbours, it has colonial architecture and a magnificent beach, with a 24h/24 all-inclusive package. This is an ideal hotel for couples.
