The service was very, very poor if you’d like cold food this is the resort for you if you like people who don’t like you because of who you are, this is the Resort for you. The customer service was a zero at the front desk. The weight staff grades the bartenders, remarkable the housekeepers fantastic but again if you feel like Whole Foods, this is a resort for you. I try to to make a reservation for dinner at one of the restaurants and for the time I was there I was unable to get that so I had to stick with the buffet or go outside, which we went outside.

On the 17th I checked in, my husband was at the casino and I was unpacking in the room. I was in my pajamas and layed down at 1045pm I heard a knock on my door I got up to go to the door and then the door opened. Two people were at my door they saw me and said oh wrong room and closed the door. I called the front desk and they told me maybe you ordered room service? I said no, they said maybe you ordered towels? I said no, they were trying to dismiss what just happened. I insisted on speaking to the manager and she was too busy to talk to me. They said she would call me back. I waited and when she called me back she went over the same things again. Maybe you order housekeeping, maybe you ordered linens. I insisted I didn’t. I told her I am a female, alone in my room in a foreign country and I do not feel safe. She told me to let her know if I wanted to check out. I was upset, I didn’t expect this kind of answer. I hung up the phone. I bolted the door and waited for my husband to return. Thinking I would need to let him into the room. When he got to the room he tapped his room key and the dead bolt released. I was shocked. The dead bolt serves no purpose if it will open when a key card is used. Fast forward to Monday, I got food poisioning and I was in bed unable to do anything. What a horrible experience The power went out in our building twice, the water was shut off twice and at the end of our stay the elevator broke for the last 3 days. Making checkout more difficult.
Dirty beaches full of seaweed.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room felt neglected, outdated and overall not clean. Bugs and cockroaches were found on the premise. The staff wasn’t very helpful and it felt like you had to chase them to complete a simple request such as filling the shampoo holder or replacing stained sheets and pillows. The rooms are big but be ready for doorless showers and bathroom does with no locks for family style (maybe more couples only)

De todas las veces en un resort en punta cana esta fue mi peor experiencia desde la limpieza de la habitación hasta la limpieza en los restaurantes los tenedores y las cucharas estaban sucios tenía que limpiarlos yo con agua y la servilleta los platos siempre estaban con residuos de comida también la comida siempre estaba súper fría el menú era el mismo de todos los días desayuno almuerzo y cena la playa siempre estaba sucia con los vasos de la bebidas nunca pasaban recogiéndolos las personas no fueron amables, pedí una pasta y la trabajadora parecía que estaba enojada conmigo y no solo eso la pasta me cayó súper mal y estuve con vomito toda la noche aparte de eso parece un centro comercial con tantas tiendas y sobretodo súper caro al final del día me dijeron si tu queja sobre la comida y la limpieza no es nada nuevo todos los que se van de aquí siempre tienen la misma queja, so si mi opinión cuenta no les recomiendo este lugar!

The rooms were clean but the food was okay at best, and the staff seemed irritated. The process to check in took over a hour even though there was no line. The every staff member at check in gave a different excuse and no solution. I personally did not feel welcome at all when I walked in. I’ve been to many resorts in Punta Cana and this one was by far my least favorite. I’ve been to smaller resorts that were much more welcoming

The rooms at Bávaro Barcelo Palace are nice, and the amenities are truly endless for both families and couples. That said, the service leaves a lot to be desired and cleanliness was very much lacking. While getting a drink at the bar is quick and efficient, everything else, daily room turnover, buffet service, and making reservations, feels like pulling teeth. It’s a massive resort with 8,000+ rooms, but it’s clearly understaffed when it comes to proper customer service. A simple smile or good attitude would go a long way. The gym is extremely small and nearly impossible to use given the resort’s size. The pools are loud, making it hard to relax, and the beach is so crowded you need to wake up at 7 a.m. just to secure a chair. Buffet food is disappointing, and the restaurants generally underperform. That said, some positives stand out. The bar staff are impeccable at pumping out drinks quickly, and well-maintained. If you’ve been to the Dominican before, you’ll also appreciate being left relatively hassle-free by beach vendors. These factors are what nudged my rating up from a 2 to a 3. Would I stay here again? Maybe—but smaller, modern resorts with more personalized service and higher quality dining might be a better fit.
