We stayed at Barcelo Bavaro Beach Adults Only Jan. 11-17, 2020. The first three days of our trip were delightful! The pool and beach were nice and clean, the food was good and varied, and the staff was friendly and attentive. We especially loved the escape room. The large property shared with the family-friendly resort provided tons of options for entertainment and dining.
The last three days were a different story. We were confined to our room after acquiring what we later learned were E Coli and norovirus. Our US doctor and I suspect tainted pork dumplings from Kyoto Japanese Steakhouse. Violent vomiting and frequent diarrhea made any resort activities and prepaid offsite excursions impossible. The hotel clinic was unhelpful, as they only checked vitals. They sent us to a hospital where we had to negotiate their $3,000 price tag down to $900 for 6 hours of running tests and administering IV medications. Between the medicine we needed to acquire after the hospital visit, the subsequent US physician visits, and the forfeited excursion costs, that dinner set us back over $2,000, almost doubling the cost of our vacation.
Losing that money is painful, but just as painful is the cost of a ruined, much-needed vacation. (And being treated in a Dominican hospital, trusting the kindness of taxi drivers and navigating a foreign pharmacy were traumatic, to say the least.) The Premium Level staff was sympathetic but unable or unwilling to offer anything more than an apology for our bad

Receive a cordial greeting from all the team that represents our hotel.
We wish to express our sincere apologies for any inconvenience that our mutual guests may have encountered. Our ultimate aim is to provide service excellence; our guests’ feedback shifts our focus on any possible deficiencies that may exist throughout our Resort and helps us improve the quality of our services and facilities.
Please rest assured that their experiences are certainly not the norm of our service levels or standards, as we at Barceló Hotels & Resorts pride ourselves on providing a quality vacation experience for all our valued guests
We also would like to mention that we are taking all necessary precaution measures to prevent sickness and that we are working together with “Cristal” international hygiene controlling to guaranty high food & beverage quality and to ensure international hygiene standards. The “Cristal” food safety risk management program was specifically developed for the travel and tourism industry. It covers high-level standards, which comply with international and national regulations. Also, it incorporates best practice and recommendations, which often requires an even higher level than many national and international regulations. These standards and their compliance are then monitored and audited at the hotel site, through competent Cristal auditors on a regular basis. Auditing procedures include questionnaires with more than 250 checkpoints, making the endorsement system very demanding. This auditing system allows “Cristal” to assess from a quantitative point of view the degree of compliance of the food safety program, and therefore to assess in some ways the risk of the operation. At all the tests that were carried out during the past months, our usual high score was reached and water, food as well as ice tests were taken and the laboratory results do not show any irregularities. Besides these audits, our Quality Manager checks the temperature, hygiene and food quality daily.
However, as we were not able to detect any irregularities in regards to our food and beverage service and/or in our health and safety procedures, you may understand that we cannot be held responsible for any sickness. If there would have been a wrong or unhealthy manipulation of our F&B production, this would have had resulted in an outbreak of illnesses that would affect at least a 40 - 50% of our customers, which was not the fact.
In relation to the medical center, although the hotel works together with Clinic Assist to provide a better service to customers, we must emphasize that this is not part of the hotel, so we cannot comment on the respect, we regret many possible inconveniences.
Once again, we are sorry, that this vacation did not meet your expectations but hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you again in our facilities to have the chance to provide you by excellent service and a very pleasant stay.

This place was okay. The pool bar had the worst bartenders who looked like they hated their job. The drinks were watered down and to top it off not all drinks were free if you wanted the good stuff you had to pay for it. The food was disgusting i found myself going to the Barcelo Bavaro palace (kids included hotel walking distance) they had the good food, the good drinks, and the good entertainment. The beach was clean and security was everywhere. I would recommend staying at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace if you really want have a good time.

The resort is beautiful but some of the staff is so unpleasant . They don’t like to cater to you . You have to constantly ask them for things because they won’t just come up to you and ask if you need anything and when you do ask some do it with an attitude or ignore you . Also I really disliked how to eat breakfast or lunch you have to be fully dressed . The buffet is literally right in front of the pool so it’s easier to be in a bathing suit and cover up while you grab a quick bite but nope you have to walk all the way back to your room and change . Another think that’s disappointing is how They have not servers working the beach area . You have to take a long walk back to the closest bar to get anything to drink .

We had our bag stolen inside of the property. No one has done anything about it and we didn’t get compensated because it wasn’t and I quote “stolen from inside of the room “. It makes no sense since it was in their property with cameras all around. Just be careful when you stay there and don’t leave ur belonging unattended not even for 5 min
