Mar 28, 2025Eat carefully
The resort is beautiful and the beach is great. The food gave six out of 10 of us diarrhea. The food was mostly cold, except the ice cream was melted. The food was mainly pasta, rice, and potatoes, with some low quality meat. Tried on the first day to make asseveration at the restaurants, but everything was taken. Later we did get in the Japanese restaurant but only at 9:15 which was very late for four kids under nine years old. The slide at Pirate Cove are so rough that it put holes in our suits and sim shirts along with bleeding cuts on our backs. And they charge you $5 for those slides, what a joke.

This hotel is situated on a beautiful beach. The area was clean but the service and food were not to my standards. There were a lot of issues with my room that were not resolved and not one apology the entire time.

Beautiful Pools, Poor Food Safety, Head Injury From Poor Maintenance
The food on site made us sick every time we ate. The bottled water was no better than the tap water. The floor by the pool bar was so wet that one of us slipped and got a concession. We lost an entire day to the injury. The pools and beach were very clean. The kids loved the pools and the variety of swimming options.

Mar 28, 2025Bavaro Barcelo Palace
The location is perfect and my room was clean. There is very bad language barrier and many staff with poor attitudes. The Premium level was not so premium. My fridge did not work in the room, but the room was clean. Prepare to walk. We walked so much every day. That did not bother me, but if you have issues, its a consideration. The beach is beautiful. Not a snorkel beach. We did kayak twice.
