This hotel has an unbelievable beach. The pool is outstanding too. I've never been to an All Inclusive before but imagine when chefs prepare food for a thousand people quality usually takes a hit. I thought the food was pretty good --- nothing great --- but I promise you I didn't starve. I didn't have any stomach issues. Drinks were... more

Just returned. Still have the runs. First thing I did when I returned home is laid flat on my back on my comfy bed mattress. Never so happy to sleep in my own bed. Mattress at the hotel must have been original and never replaced, like everything else at the hotel. Place is clean I must say. But they built... more

First of all, I found that overall, this hotel was about 3 1/2 stars, and that is using US standards as a comparision. It is extremely helpful if you speak Spanish when staying at the hotel, and if so, one will find many of the people to be friendly and helpful too. Although the trip is all inclusive (food, hotel,... more

I'm a little late with my review as we traveled to the Barcelo Palace in April. My husband and I are late 30's early 40's and were looking for a beach/golf getaway. We got exactly what we were looking for. What we liked - Easy check-in; no wait; hospitality cocktail upon arrival - Service and People Loved our maid; she... more

My problem with the hotel was the food. The food is so horrible that i tried just about all of them thinking i would get a better experience and it... more

Overall - this place is amazing. We had originally booked the Grand palladium, but because they were overbooked, they bumped us to barcelo bavaro palace. At first, i was really annoyed as i did a lot of research and chose that resort specifically, however - in the end, Bavaro Palace was great. Check in wasn't a problem - a bit... more

When I first arrived at the hotel, I was greeted by a receptionist that wasn't very friendly at all. Then the nightmare began. I had two rooms booked, my family's room was fine, however mine smelled so musty that I asked to have it changed. They only had a room available the following day, which would be located by the... more

I visited this hotel 5 years ago while attending this convention and I hated it. I had to return for the same reason and I decided to give it another opportunity because in 5 years things might have changed. Wrong! Everything was the same or worse. First of all, I must say I'm Latinamerican. Therefore, I speak Spanish. So the... more
