Hotels near The Lakes Barcelo Bavaro Golf Course

"The main lobby and restaurants are all open concept and feels luxurious when you see it for first time but the rooms are very dated and run down, light switches not working, broken tiles in the floor, toilet paper roll non functional, sliding door to balcony won't lock, rusted frame and terrible mattress on pull out couch, small things but added up stand out as not luxurious at all, let alone non functional sometimes. The staff seem to not really care about you, not very welcoming or hospitable, not hostile but totally indifferent even when you tip them. Restaurants include buffet and selection of "specialty" ones typical Steak, Mexican, Italian, Tepanyaki that are hard to book and are not any better than the buffet at all, my steak wasn't even a regular cut of meat, some random part of the cow that was tough and chewy even cooked med rare. Overall feels very much a resort factory vs an experience. "

"Staff to be honest in certain instances were outright rude or disrespectful. There are cultural issues at play, so for full context we are a black, American couple. The DR has a history of negativity towards black people & the USA is not popular internationally right now… our room also had a few issues maintenance wise (no hot water & damaged finishes)"

"Definitely would return back to this resort! All the staff were kind and polite , so many things the resort has to offer . Super clean as well "
