An ideal resort for couples seeking adventure and endless activities, this all-inclusive resort will particularly appeal to snorkeling enthusiasts and beach lovers. This lush oasis has reinvented itself with a complete renovation to become an adults-only resort. 


Offering first-class comfort, 80% of its 589 rooms are located right on the beachfront, making this resort perfect for your friends' getaway or romantic interlude. As one of two hotels inside the Barceló Bávaro Complex, guests also receive full access to the neighboring hotel and complimentary transportation services throughout the resort complex. 


Enjoy the exquisite range of cuisines at ten restaurants in the Barceló Bávaro Complex including the Caribbean Buffet, Chez Gourmet (international), La Brisa (Mediterranean), El Coral (Seafood), Santa Fe (Steakhouse), La Dolce Vita (Italian), Mexico Lindo (Mexican), La Fuente (Spanish), Kyoto ($) (Japanese), and La Comedie ($). 


There are so many fun-filled activities to fill your days; play a game of soccer, tennis, baseball, or bowling at the alley on site (additional fees apply). For golf enthusiasts, enjoy the scenic, palm-studded, P.B. Dye designed 18-hole course. Try your hand at snorkeling or windsurfing in the bright turquoise water. Lounge with your favorite Dominican Rum cocktail by one of the five pools, including a chill-out, relaxation pool. 


For ultimate relaxation, take advantage of a 45-minute hydrothermal circuit at the full-service wellness center. There are also two massage beds right in the pool area for your pleasure. When the sun sets, the nights heat up in the spectacular theater, inspired by Las Vegas with two levels of entertainment for you to enjoy, a bar on each level and waitress service so that you do not miss any of the fabulous shows. Then let your inner James Bond out to play in the casino at the best gaming destination in the Caribbean (open 24-hours).

    Here again in Paradise! 🌴🏖😌🥥🌞🥭🇩🇴

    If you haven't visited this resort, I would highly encourage you to do so. For an all-inclusive, huge resort that has more available activities than I can count, you won't be dissatisfied. Ignore the negative reviews and embrace the beautiful Dominican culture. Try their food, listen to their music, and experience their beautiful paradise. We just got back from an 11 night glorious stay and I can't wait to go back. This has been our 4th stay at BBB. What are you waiting for? Go to Barcelo.com and reserve now!
