Barceló Bávaro Beach - Adults Only - All Inclusive

Barceló Bávaro Beach - Adults Only - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"The staff were respectful, amazing, and always willing to help. The family side had better amenities than the adults-only section, and I also found the food to be a lot better on the family side of the resort. This was my second stay at a Barceló resort, the first was in Cancún, Mexico. One last thing: the rooms are a bit dated and could use modernizing."

8/10 Good
"Faranda was a great location! It was about 15–20 minutes from the airport and close to several shopping centers, malls, excursions & more. Transportation: I highly recommend using Uber throughout your trip. It was much cheaper than transportation companies and taxis. The hotel seemed to push taxis, but they were charging almost double or triple what Uber cost. The Hotel: The hotel itself was clean, nice, and cozy. I didn’t get a chance to use the gym, but it looked clean and well-maintained. The Pool: The pool was honestly my favorite part. It was clean, relaxing, & barely crowded when I visited. It’s also only about 5 feet deep, which is perfect for us short people lol. Food: Unfortunately, the restaurant food was not great. I would recommend skipping the hotel restaurant and exploring other restaurants or buying food from a local market. The rooms have refrigerators, which makes it convenient to store food. I didn’t see a microwave, so check with the hotel if that’s important to you. Drinks: The alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks at the hotel restaurant were actually good, but they were definitely pricey. The restaurant staff also seemed fairly new & weren’t very familiar with the menu, which made ordering a little difficult. The front desk receptionists of the hotel was nice, but I didn’t find them very helpful when it came to recommendations for beaches or restaurants. Dinner Recommendations: Jellyfish, Noah & Dinner in the sky I didn't find good local food."
