Santo Domingo Heritage Experience: Colonial Zone & Local Culture

“We were at the Barcelo Bavaro Beach from 8 to 15 January 2026 1700/ person approximately. Block 5, 3 rd floor, superior room, large (the bathroom cleaning (the dirty bath and not rubbed but it is our filthy hahah) comfortable bed. The prote separating the bathroom from the bedroom cuts off the sound so nothing heard in the corridor. Everything was perfect!! Clean, quiet place (a little too much) No music, just at times during activities. Access to the Bavaro Palace which is bigger bcp and WOW very large and luxurious! The showroom is breathtaking!! We went a few times a day to change the place sickness (8 min. walking by the beach about according to walking speed:) Bcp people on the square at this place. We preferred the Beach for space and the fact that it is adult only! Beautiful white sandy beach, easy to walk, no waves at our passage and beautiful sunny week! Chairs available at the beach (we went there around 9am and always had the same spot! No sellers on the beach around the springs near us so nice to walk there. The pool is large and clean unlike the Palace pool (the main one where there is the bar in the water) which is jammed. But the others are clear! Small interesting train to get from one to the other and visit the facilities. Buffet: we just finished eating well! Resto, a little disappointing but correct! The fruit is exquisite! When applying for something (e.g. extra blanket water, toilet paper... You have it in the next few minutes or during the day! In the evening we went to the shows at the Palace, it's huge (we were impressed by the acrobats) Often around 10am which gives time for dinner late! 11am everything is over (pu music) A little too soon in my opinion...”
