Great resort. Awesome food with great selection including great sit down restaurants. Loved the fresh fish grilled at Ocean side as well as the Italian restaurant. Amazing entertainment- Kervin was great and Miguel was a great DJ making sure all had a great time dancing for all ages. Had a blast!

Any 4 and higher star rated resort in the playa Bavaro area is my favorite. We have been to 8 different resorts in the area. Our absolute favorite is Barcelo Bavaro Palace. The reason is that playa Bavaro is sheltered by an offshore Reef. The waters are calm and the beaches pure white sand. I especially go to resorts that have free catamaran rentals. The beach is about 10 miles wide and maybe 1 mile out. This makes the beach the most desirable in the Punta Cana area. Most of the beaches are lined with palm trees.

Bavaro Beach is situated in Punta Cana on the East coast of Dominican Republic. A fine stretch of white sand stretching for miles. The beach is well maintained and cleaned regularly - it is in good condition and doesn't suffer from rubbish or plastic littering. A Few beach vendors plying their trade (but not aggressive or pushy). A decent beach with white sand and turquoise waters. Great place to hang out for the winter.

It is Punta Cana’s main beach and is one of the largest and most popular beaches in the area. The town of Bavaro is lined with small shops and dotted with luxurious all-inclusive resorts. No trip to Punta Cana would be complete without some time spent on its gorgeous beaches. Playa Bávaro. It is one of the most popular shorelines in Punta Cana, with its powdery sands, swaying palm trees, blue waters, and a bevy of amenities, including water sports rentals, dining options, and nearby accommodations. there is so much confusion about where it starts/ends, and entrance to public beaches as 80% of beach areas are occupied by resorts. The beach stretches for 12 miles between Macao and Cabeza de Toro, but keep in mind that there are just four public access points at Corales, El Cortecito, Jellyfish, and Bibi Jagua. Bavaro Beach has several subsections that all have their name. However, they are all connected and you can explore them walking consecutively. El Cortecito and Corales are two of these stretches and are very convenient The clear waters off Bavaro Beach make it ideal for snorkeling, and many hotels on the strip include snorkeling equipment during your stay. don’t imagine it to be a crowded beach. There is always something going on, people are enjoying their beach walks and locals are sitting in the sand, but as the beach is extremely long and wide, you always have more than enough space, and it NEVER feels crowded.

Great beach. Every time we visit we have a great time. Walking along the shore is calming and relaxing even with hundreds of other people around. There are people that come along and clean in front of the different resorts every morning so that the seaweed is gone.

Bavaro Beach is the best beach in Punta Cana. Well kept, long for walks, small waves, no sand fleas, soft sand, not a steep slope. We have been on this beach 7 times and plan to return.

Stayed at the Meliá Punta Cana Wellness resort. Wonderful hotel and great staff. Beautiful pools. So large there is a shuttle to take you from the front desk/ dinner restaurants to the beachfront and pool. Highly recommend upgrading and getting a room closer to the beach. Biggest issue- the seaweed. Although all the high end hotels clean the beach every morning, there is so much, it's not fun. And by lunch, it's all back again- brought in by the tide. And when you are in the water you get covered in it or you have to wade/swim through it to get to a clean part of the ocean. I hated it. I only went in once as a result. I know they are trying to deal with it but it really ruins the experience. If I had known, I wouldn't have come.

This was the number one beach, white sand and amazing water. It was a bit further on from our hotel and smaller beach, but worth the look. Did get busy and quite a few traders, just be firm and they get the message. Still didn’t detract from the amazing beach.
