Located directly on the soft, white sands of Bavaro Beach, the Barcelo Bavaro Beach Resort complex is comprised of three hotels (ranging from 4-star to 5-star) offering an unlimited range of activities and amenities for all. Of those resorts, we recommend the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe for its Premium service and elegant décor. Guests of this resort enjoy full access to the other resorts in the complex, which also boasts its own casino and golf course.

“ A lovely resort with lots of extras. Guests of the Palace Deluxe also have full access to the other resorts in the Barcelo complex, except the Barcelo Bavaro Beach & Convention Center which is an Adults Only hotel, plus it also has its own exclusive facilities such as the private disco, the Sport bar and the new U Spa. There is a nice modern elegance to the Palace Deluxe and the service is excellent.”
