"I've traveled to a few places in the world, I come to Dominican Republic every month I stay in a lot of hotels or motels this is the worst of all of them...
The check in process is horrible.
No reception to check in, if you don't get there before 10pm you loose your reservation which is what happened to me.
They have no parking just one electric door in a dark scary alley.
I had to get a different hotel for the night.
You'll lose the money if you come here."

"For the past three years, this place has felt like a second home to me. I’ve stayed here many times, and every visit has been a positive experience.
The apartments are spacious, clean, and well equipped, with full kitchens that are perfect if you enjoy cooking during your stay. The property is beautiful, with well-maintained pools and a gorgeous beach just steps away.
One of the best parts is the location. Restaurants, a grocery store, the gym, and other convenient amenities are all within a...

"Exactly as pictured, actually better! Complex has multiple large pools and the access to the beach was perfect. Only down side, which was no fault of the complex or host was the sargassum. However that did not impact the view and when we wanted to cool off we took advantage of the pools! Will definitely stay here again."

"Terrible lugar, nada parecido a lo que muestran en las imágenes de promoción. Apartamentos viejos, aires dañados, baños deteriorados., ruidos de la calle a las habitaciones, no lo recomiendo para nada 0/10"

"The room was spacious, bright, and very comfortable with plenty of soft pillows. Every meal we had in the restaurants was delicious, especially the traditional local cuisine. The WiFi could have been a little faster."

"There is no front desk/reception. This wasn't a problem, but you'll need to call or WhatsApp in advance to get the key code for your room entry. No big deal. Good location, good sized room, strong air conditioning. Very little soundproofing between rooms, so you'll be reliant on the other guests being polite and respectful. Low water pressure. Overall not perfect but fine for the price!"

Barceló Bávaro Beach - Adults Only - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"Gorgeous. This place is a gorgeous complex that includes several hotels in the same place. Be sure you'll reserve your dinners in the restaurant of your preference (more than ten) with different mood: japanese, french, mexican and the list continues... if you want to. Otherwise you can eat in two buffet restaurants your dinners. Breakfasts and lunchs too, of course.
There's a variety of live shows every night and you can go to other hotels using the train if you prefer other show in the complex. Some stores are included and invites you to don't abandon the complex but if you want to visit other cities, some tours are offer to visit vicinty or other cities like Santo Domingo. Is a place to enjoy...and don't forget Presidente, the local lager beer: tasteful and available like all other food and spirits like Mama Juana, a local liquor. Is a very good place."
"Cosas positivas:
El resort tiene muchos snacks Durante el día, tienen en el parque acuatico, en la playa etc. La comida del buffet me parecio buena y algunos días con diferentes variedades. La comida de los restaurantes era buena (mi favorito fue el dominicano) pero el Mexicano y habachi fueron muy buenos tambien (menos el italiano). El ambiente y la música me parecieron muy entretenidos.
Ahora vamos como lo negativo:
Los tragos no me gustaron, en casi ningún bar. Probé diferentes y ninguno estaba bueno. Mi habitación tenía un excelente aire, sin embargo del baño salía un poco de mal olor, y las duchas no me gustaron el agua sale hacia afuera. Me tocó el edificio 1 por ende quedaba muy lejos de lobby y todo es caminando. En general he ido a más de 16/17 resort y a este comparando calidad y precio por 3 noches no pagué muy dinero por esa razón le daría un 8/10."
"Our stay at Excellence El Carmen was absolutely fantastic. The resort exceeded our expectations in every way. The rooms were beautiful and well-maintained, the restaurants offered excellent food with a wide variety of options, and the staff provided exceptional service throughout our stay. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome.
The only thing I would mention is that if your main reason for visiting is to enjoy the beach and the ocean, you may want to avoid traveling during June, July, or August. During these months, there can be a significant amount of seaweed along the shoreline. This is a seasonal natural occurrence and is not the hotel’s fault. The resort does a great job maintaining the property, but the seaweed can affect the beach experience.
Other than that, everything about Excellence El Carmen was outstanding. We had an amazing vacation and would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious, and memorable getaway."

"My family and I came back to this hotel for the second time this year. Having been there last year, we were able to notice a few things, and not for the better. Don't get me wrong, the hotel is still very nice and well maintained. My message is mostly for management. I think the staff is still AMAZING, we truly had a great time and enjoyed every second of our vacation. However,...
- Elevator was broken, at least the one next to our room which was on the second floor. So, we had to use stairs every time. It's okay for us but for a handicapped person might be impossible to do.
- Our room door broke on the second day [latch would not close, the hinge was loose], and we had to sleep with the door unlocked as the issue was not resolved. I had to put a chair behind the door as I could not fall asleep. Eventually, nothing happened but it was uncomfortable. It got fixed eventually.
-The restaurants are extremely hot; the air is bad and really hot inside.
I just wish management would take care of these issues before it becomes a bigger problem, the hotel is really nice. New Serenade Hotel just opened next door. I am sure is beautiful but so is this existing location.
Havind said that I also want to mention again that the staff is AMAZING, the FOOD is GREAT, and the rooms are really big, spacious and cold, which is what matters indeed.
We saw some waiters for the second time this time, SUSANA, Gracias por todo!"
