Was just a fantastic holiday.

The staff was just so friendly. If they did not understand you they would get someone who could. Was a most enjoyable vacation.

Like a piece of heaven

Definitely a dream come true staying on this all inclusive resort. We actually were there back in April 2002 not in Feb 2018 as stated but other date options weren't available to choose. Highly recommended from our experience!

Best beach in Punta Cana!

Our first trip to Punta Cana we stayed along the Uvero Alto beach north of Bavaro beach, and the waves were much higher there. Bavaro is much more beautiful - the picturesque blue waters and white sand beaches, with small waves you can comfortably swim...More

Not that great

Maybe because we stayed at a condo instead of a resort, but the beach was never cleared of the seaweed. It was horrible. It was everywhere and you couldn’t enjoy going into the water. Also, if you’re a female you couldn’t even enjoy the beach...More

Awesome

Beach walks are amazing. Love the sand. Seaweed is cleaned up near most resorts. We walked 6 km and back on the beach one day. The next day 5 km and back the other direction from our resort

White Sand

Very beautiful beach from one end to the other. All the beach is the same, only differentiating thing is how your particular hotel takes care of their portion. At the Princess Barvro All Suites Hotel & Casino, they rake up the seaweed and the sand...More

Silky Sand

Bavaro Beach is pretty, clean, silky. Jan 2019 weather was warm with an awesome breeze! Vendors walking the beach could be informative, entertaining, and annoying after awhile.

We were at the Reserve last January (2018) and the seaweed situation on Bavaro beach in front of the hotel was minimal and did not stop us from swimming in the ocean every day. After reading reviews all year long I noticed it got really bad around May until November. For people who went in December or are there now can you please let me know what the situation is? We are beach people and spend money to go down south every winter to swim in the ocean and walk on the beach and not sit by a pool which we can do here all summer. We are contemplating returning to the Reserve in late Feb/early March but wanted to know if we can expect good swimming conditions. Thank you

Thinking of going to Punta Cana over Aruba this year. Is their a best area to stay. Would like on the beach, all inclusive good food choices. Is close to the airport better or some of the new ones look far away from everything? Thanks for any input.

Most of the resorts in Punta Cana are all inclusive and pretty close to the airport. If you like exploring I recommend getting a car because all of the resorts are very large and that makes everything quite spread out. A... More
