HM Bavaro Beach

We booked this place because we thought the webside look great, and above all, we didin't want an all-inclusive package. On paper, this hotel was perfect. Two weeks after booking, we received an email (we'd received several) offering us the chance to choose our preferred room (the number) within the category (ocean view) for an additional fee, which we accepted...On the day we arrived,after waiting at least 30 minutes as the front desk, we were told that we would'nt be getting either the room we'd chosen or the ocean view room! It was the last straw, especially since we'd booked it four months ago. After a lot back-and-forth, we only stayed one night in that room, and the next day we were given a room with a sea view (not the one we had chosen). For a 6 night stay, losing the first night without even package isn't exactly what you'd hope for. All in all, the holiday wasn't too bad, apart from the constant noice on the beach (the beach next door where people are heavily drunk and shouting all the time). On the photos, you can't hear the noise... The service in the restaurant and bar is really too long, which is strange because there are plenty of staff (even though there aren't many people around when you are on the beach...). The food insn't up to scratch for this sort of hotel ( and yet, despite having travelled a great deal, we've never had this felling before), luckily, there were a few restaurants in a square within walking distance, which were very good indeed, a special mention to citrus restaurant, where we went several times. Another downside is that there isn't fitness center. Next time, we know where we won't be going !

All the staff was very kind but the security at night not at all. They need to improve the late check in process asap. They keep us waiting with the luggage on the street for almost an hour at 11 pm

just a superb place to be in - spotless - friendly staff - room service was great as well i plan to visit again and would like the same room

This midsize cozy hotel is perfect for every aspect , and still reflects the anima Latina Of Dominican Republic. The whole staff it's incredibly nice helpful, fastt and efficient

We stayed here and Katherine at reception was great and very helpful, we got a welcome drink which was also very nice. The hotel being on the beach is a plus and having their own restaurants make it super easy for a quick trip where you can’t really travel too far for food. Issues we had were our room would have a sewage smell and the shower drain was clogged, also the pool wasn’t very clean when we tried to swim after a day at the beach. But the servers at the restaurant were very nice and the food itself was tasty.
