Hotels Near Boulevard Center in Bavaro

This review is for the UNIQUE part of Lopesan Costa Bavaro. My wife and I spent 4 nights in May 2023. We had an amazing time during our stay that was nothing short of amazing. Our butler Victor was amazing and made sure no question went unanswered, no request was too much for him. We spent most of our time in the UNIQUE specific amenities (Restaurant/Bar/Beach/Pool) – the breakfast and lunch buffet very tremendous, the food was great and there was something for everyone. We especially enjoyed the fresh passionfruit at breakfast. The service at the beach was great, rarely did we not have a passionfruit margarita in our hands. The restaurants for dinner (We did the Steakhouse, the French restaurant, the UNIQUE only restaurant and the restaurant where UNIQUE members don’t have to pay extra to eat at) where all really good – the food was always very tasty, the presentation was appealing to the eye and service was friendly and fast. The room was clean, quiet and we always came back to a perfectly made room after our time at the beach. We are looking forward to our next stay!

Ok. First off I don't know how anyone could give Marcos and Magdelina anything but 5 stars. They are both fluent in Spanish, English and several other languages which made everything very easy. When I wanted to practice on my Spanish Marcos would speak with me in Spanish and when I wanted to speak in English we spoke in English. If you read the other reviews, some people were confused about where they were and reviewed this place in error. I was traveling solo in the Dominican Republic as a single woman and I was slightly worried before arriving, but the second I walked into the garden late at night to check in - all my fears melted away. The family was sitting having a casual conversation with guests and the kids were playing on the ping pong table. They welcomed me like family. The most gracious couple I have ever met. In addition to being met by Marcos and Magdalena I was also met by a friendly dog which made this feel even more like home. As far as my room went, everything was clean, very spacious, had air conditioning in the bedroom, a mini fridge and some snacks and drinks in the minibar. I settled in immediately. I also ate dinner there every night because the food was so amazing! They have four different menus to choose from, including Dominican food, Caribbean and even Polish food. All of which was absolutely delicious. The service was incredible and it was a true experience that I will never forget. I even got to play air hockey with the kiddos! I almost don't want to write this review because I'm afraid I won't be able to get a reservation when I return next year! Now let's address the fact that this is not an all-inclusive resort. This is a small bed and breakfast that is run by a family. They have a recycle mentality and everything they had is reused and repurposed and I love that vibe. If you are one that wants fancy and luxury or no culture, this probably isn't the place for you. If you're a solo traveler that wants to feel like you're part of a family 1000% recommend. I will return to see them many many times. ♥️

It’s a very great resort and people out there is very kind. The restaurant Skybar has a beautiful seaside view. Johanny is very nice and kind to help us check in. Something went wrong with the air conditioner but they help change another room. Very great.

A group of 7 stayed here. There were some great things about this resort and some not so great things. Great Things: The bartenders were all great, especially Angel and Alexis. The buffet restaurant staff, specifically Maria, she is simply the best. The pool area and lobby are both very nice, the nightly entertainment was also a lot of fun. The sand on the beach is fantastic, it’s like sugar and the water is warm but still refreshing, we even saw a few small sea turtles while swimming. The Not So Great: Some of our rooms. We all stayed in the Premium Level Oceanfront, some rooms were better than others. My particular room had a few issues, a very musty odor and a walk in shower with no door that caused the bathroom floor to get covered in water whenever someone showered. We voiced our concern but nothing was ever done. The rooms need to be updated.

I really liked this hotel. All of the staff was nice, food was decent, and the entertainment was awesome. Learn some Spanish and Stay on the property when visiting the DR this is a poor country and a lot of parts look unsafe. The only complaint is the couch in the villa smelled horrible. Like previous people had went and played in the ocean and came and sat on the couch, however, I did not let management know so I can’t really complain also had trouble getting the tub to work.

The hotel was fabulous in that it was clean, spacious, modern, and had a calm business vibe. It is set outside of the main Madrid attractions, which is nice for business travelers. If you are traveling to see the sites, you will need to take an Uber/ taxi, which is about 15-20 minutes per traffic and time of day. It's not bad, but not ideal if you want to walk out from your hotel and be in the action. Apart from location, the front desk staff are super friendly and helpful, the hotel has a modern vibe, and has some cool restaurants located around its vicinity. Im a huge fan of AC hotels now because of this beauty we stayed at in Madrid! Although its kinda far from the attractions, I'd still return and stay at this location again and refer it to future travelers!

My husband booked this stay through Costco travel for our 3rd anniversary. It was nothing short of amazing. The weather was perfect for our entire stay. When we arrived at the hotel we were greeted with all smiles from the concierge and front desk clerk. There were 2 glasses of sparkling wine awaiting us as we completed the check in process . Our room wasn't quite ready, so the concierge showed us the property and took us to the lunch buffet. The food was 6/10 for the lunch buffet, but the service was 10/10. There was a young man grilling steaks to order. I wish I remembered his name. He was extremely pleasant in spite of the heat of the grill and guests shouting their orders at him. After lunch, we were able to check into our room. It was beautiful, comfy and clean and a bottle of sparkling wine was awaiting us. Then we met the best person of our stay, our butler STALING. He was always available and sought us out every single day to make sure that we were happy and comfortable. The smallest of requests were filled in a timely manner with a smile the entire time. Staling made sure all of our dinner reservations were set for our time there. I slept through the first night's dinner reservations at the surf and turf restaurant. My husband had tartare and ribeye and gave this restaurant a 7/10 as he was expecting more ”surf”. The following morning, we checked out the breakfast buffet. I'm not big on breakfast, so it was nothing to write home about for me. They had the normal omelette station and quite an assortment of eggs, breads, meat, potatoes, fruit, etc. Once again, the service was 10/10. For lunch, we opted for the pool side grill. The kebabs, burgers and spring rolls were delicious. The only negative was the guy working the grill was not very pleasant. I think it is just because of the language barrier and the heat of the grill. That evening, we had the Italian restaurant for dinner. It was quite delicious and had been our best meal at that point of the stay. My main course was shrimp risotto. My husband's main course was bread beef osumboco (sp?). During the day, there are many activities going on. Some activities included yoga, water cycling, dance lessons, bingo, etc. The hubs and I opted to be beach bums our entire stay. Surprisingly, the sea**** was kept at bay and we enjoyed playing in the mild waves and sleeping in the beach breeze. The beach servers were great about keeping us hydrated with water and libations. My favorite drink at the resort was the mojito. In the evening we had fun enjoying the live dancers in the theater and the singer in the lobby. My husband is not a dancer, so I enjoyed dancing with different members of the entertainment team. On our anniversary, we had the most beautiful display awaiting us after a day at the beach. Because we did not have time for dinner reservations or dinner on the beach (due to transportation for Coco Bongo which I highly recommend), Staling suggested that we order room service. It was a

The hotel has a car at counter 35 at the airport exit, but there is a fee of 40 dollars for a family. Check out to the airport, there is also a car to send, but also pay 40 dollars per family. The wait time was very long when checking in. The waiters seemed to be very busy and very inefficient. The room sanitation is so-so, and the towels and bedding feel very old and not clean and white. But it feels very good after moving in. The hotel is very large and it takes two days to familiarize yourself with the environment. All-inclusive food and drink, including drinks, there are many restaurants with different dishes, very rich, and rich in seafood. There are also many small living rooms that provide food and drink during non-dinner times. In short, you can find food at any time. The beach and sea water are very beautiful. There are different large-scale show performances every night, which is surprising because I did not see the introduction of the show when I booked the room. All inclusive of eating, drinking and having fun at the hotel, a great experience. The test for the new coronavirus is provided free of charge the day before departure, and the result is obtained on the day of departure. You need to present the test result when you check in.
