Suites at Punta Cana Bavaro Beach Resort and Spa 

We visited the Bavaro Princess March 7-14, 2018. Four adults and two children (11 years old each). Upon arrival, we were impressed with the service at this resort. Eduardo, at the front desk, was so welcoming and helpful. He gave us a choice of suites and made sure we had adjoining rooms. Which was surprising, since we didn't ask until we arrived! We asked for extra blankets and a king sized bed for each room. Our requests were taken care of right away. The kids each got their own bed, which was a plus. We were in Bungalow 35, an excellent location. Next to the big pool, the trolley stop, the restaurants and the beach. This resort is HUGE, but we never had a problem catching a trolley to drive us around. Our rooms were kept clean all week, our fridges stocked with Bud, Coke/Sprite, daily. We really enjoyed the large balcony. The beach is breath taking: clean white soft sand, lots of huts and chairs (BUT....most are reserved very early in the day). The large waves for the first few days were great to play in. Once the water calmed down later in the week, the kids went parasailing and enjoyed it immensely. The only downside to the beach was the vendors, constantly trying to sell you their services or items. Finally, I learned to say "no thank you, have a nice day" and the conversation ended easily. We went on one excursion to Bavaro Adventure park. Very fun! It was a pricey excursion, and we felt rushed while we were there, but the ziplining & climbing was worth it! The resort grounds were kept so beautifully. Clean & lush. We enjoyed the birds on site, and walking through the eco-park. The food at this resort is top notch. We have visited several resorts over the last few years, and have never eaten this well. Not one meal disappointed. We could have stayed a month and not ate the same meal twice. We visited every a la carte, enjoyed them all and loved the food at all of them. The japanese was the most entertaining, and the steak house/chinese restaurants were my faves. The kids did not enjoy the seafood a la carte at all. Best thing to eat on the resort though, is the McPrincess burgers, on the beach. Drinks were good, my daughter was disappointed with the flavour of the strawberry daquiries, but the pina colada's were the best! Never got sick of them, even had one while waiting for the bus the last morning:) The large pool bar was fun but a bit loud for our family. The bartender, Jose, was great. He made my 11 year old daughter feel like a princess! His "Jose Special" is a yummy drink. Julian at the beach bar (and sometimes lobby bar), was very attentive and kind. We went to the small pool a lot more than we expected. It was a bit deeper for the kids to play in, and there were less people there. The bartender at that pool, Maria, is very sweet. We hope to visit this resort again, it's the first resort that we were this happy with. The service is what makes it. And the food, and the beautiful grounds:)
