Okay so I’ve never done a review because I’m not picky at all so take this for gospel. The Miramar buffet has horrible tasting food. Even the pop is gross! You have to make reservations at every other restaurant but they don’t tell you that until you try to go there. We got one reservation before we left at the Japanese restaurant and it was really good. They snuck us into the Mexican and it was good as well but not super great. The rooms are outdated and have black mold spots in places. The pool area smells disgusting especially near the center hangout area as there are rotting fruits from drinks, cigs, and garbage. The staff dumps old drinks in every single bush as well I noticed so I would guess that’s part of the smell. There’s also a pretty big language barrier which I get you’re in their country but all other resorts I’ve been to are much easier. Overall don’t save the money, spend more and book at a better place.

Warning!!! Poisoning food ! Horrible experience!!! My son went to the emergency (that is VERY expensive in Punta Cana !!!) where analysis confirmed it was bacterial infection from the food! I had gastrointestinal problems as well ! They didn’t compensate anything, they didn’t offer anything!!! I’m still waiting response for my official complaint (2nd month) no any reaction from administration…. Plus property is very old this hotel requires total renovation especially rooms Times ago this hotel was nice (great ideas) but it needs to be fixed!!!!

Everything was excellent except that they never have reservations available and they don’t even try to get you in a waiting list or something. They buffet food was horrible nothing authentic they only good thing about it was the fruit and the fresh juices. We had to go outside of the resort to eat because it was that bad. Service and entertainment was amazing.

There was a train shuttle that was convenient for how big the place was, but overall - poor quality service, this place is all over the place with poor management. Short staffed. Our cleaning lady in the room was good and on point. But just the resort itself- I do not recommend. They used the lowest grade alcohol and I don't drink to care so much. But to see so many vomiting and sick around the resort was very unappealing. The buffet food is almost the same exact food every single morning and lunch time. Didn't eat dinner at the buffet. Restaurants didn't have the best food either. Food quality 2.5... my stomach was upset for most of the trip. Just an overall NO for me. I would never recommend nor go back even if it was for free.

We have a very mixed review of this property. First off, it was beautiful! Well kept, grounds were clean (after they picked up the garbage from spring breakers), pools were warm-ish and clear. Food was mediocre at best and as usual, extremely difficult to make reservations at any of the restaurants. Although it says they are a VIP Access hotel, they do NOT offer upgrades which we were told upon check-in. On the booking site, it says "All onsite activities and use of facilities/equipment are included" but that was not true. You had to pay to bowl ($15/per person/per game), pay for use of the pool tables ($8 for 1 hour), one day the waterpark was free and the next it was $10/person. Also, room service wasn't free which I've never had happen in an all-inclusive. Housekeeping was polite and efficient but the room itself could've used some attention. No door on the shower (when you're with your kids) it'd be nice to have a little privacy. The lights were all or nothing and the ones over the bed didn't work. The balcony whirlpool was a nice surprise. I would definitely stay in the area again but the amount of unsupervised 18 year old's was a turn off so not again over spring break. If I could separate reviews: Property 4.5/5, Food 2/5, Pool 4/5, Shopping 5/5, Ocean/Beach 5/5, Rooms 3.5/5.

Great beach! Even some turtles came and visit daily. Well maintained garden. Clean paths. Adult areas highly appreciated. The service at the bars were fast and polite. All employees were kind and we tried our best to get around not speaking spanish. Two things were not optimal: Late Dinner option at the Surf&Turf restaurant was good but it seems like our waitress was far overworked and tired. Not ONE smile, several mistakes and rude service… we spoke with the manager. In one night we got three visitors in our room. Obviously by accident and cleared situation fast but not a good feeling that someone could enter our room with another bracelet… recommendation: always lock the room from the inside.

We really enjoyed our stay at Barcelo Bavaro. The beach was really nice and you can snorkel with the sea turtles ( my favorite). The resort is big and has a lot of different activities to do for all ages. Pools are big and lots of chairs. The only improvement needs to be the check in and check out process. It went fairly smooth but could be improved. I would definitely recommend this resort and will be coming back.

El hotel estuvo excelente en todo, sus empleados siempre muy amables y atentos ayudar en lo que uno necesita. El hotel lo mantienen muy bien y limpio.La única recomendación es que me gustaría escuchar mas musica latina y en especial Dominicana en la discoteca. Se enfocan mucho en los Norteamericanos y ellos son los que se tienen que adaptar a nuestra musica y cultura. Si volviera a Dominicana me volvería a quedar.
