Only guests aged 18 and over have access to the Barceló Bavaro Palace facilities (selected specialty restaurants available for a small surcharge).

In the Dominican Republic, washbasins or even bathtubs/whirlpools may be integrated openly into the general living area of the hotel room without a physical partition.

Seasonal information

During stays between April and December, an increased occurrence of seagrass and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, an increased accumulation of brown algae is common in the Caribbean during this time. This can affect the beach and the sea. The hotel management and local authorities naturally strive to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with municipal administrations. However, the use of appropriate machinery is required for this, which may generate some noise.
