We have travelled extensively over the years all over the Carribbean and Europe and the Bavaro Princess resort in Punta Cana is by far our favourite.

Things to Consider Before Booking

Budget

Bavaro Princess is an upscale resort and prices are at the mid-to-upper end for an all-inclusive. However, the hotel offers good value to families, as all meals, snacks and entertainment is included.

Packages

Princess hotels offer early booking discounts on rooms, so plan ahead for the best deals.

Family Interests

Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic, is a tropical destination perfect for families looking for a laid-back beach vacation. The area is considered safe for tourists and has many all-inclusive resorts.

Bavaro Princess resort is located on the popular Bavaro Beach in Punta Cana, a beautiful stretch of white sand fringed with palms. The water is warm and calm.

It is a 25-minute drive from the Punta Cana airport to the Bavaro Princess resort.

Although there are bars and restaurants surrounding the hotel in Bavaro Beach, most places are too far to walk.

If you are wondering how far the Bavaro Princess resort is from downtown Punta Cana, it is a 15-minute cab ride away.

You can book excursions from the tour desk at the resort.

Room Information

Bavaro Princess has 1,290 rooms, all of which are spacious and newly renovated for 2020. Some of the rooms – especially the Bungalow suites – are far from the beach.

The Bungalow suites can host four comfortably but the Family Suites, with triple bunk beds, are the best choice for larger families.

Family suites are located near the beach or near the pool and, as part of the hotel’s Family Club, have a few extra amenities compared to the standard Bungalow rooms.

A private check-in is available, there is an extra snack bar, plus the rooms come with a microwave and Blu-Ray player with movies for children.

The best rooms in the hotel are the Platinum suites, which are ideal for couples. These rooms have a king bed and can sleep up to three guests. Platinum guests get their own pool and drinks service.

If you’re wondering how much the platinum package is: it’s around $50 more per night than a standard Bungalow suite. You can always upgrade during your stay if you want to try it out.

Wheelchair Accessibility

Bavaro Princess has wheelchair accessible rooms available.

Alternatives

Punta Cana Princess vs Bavaro Princess

Bavaro Princess is aimed at families, while nearby Punta Cana Princess is for adults only. The resort is smaller, with a relaxing Caribbean vibe. It is ideal for couples looking for a romantic break.

• Adults only
• Smaller property is easier to get around
• Located on Bavaro Beach

Bavaro Princess Punta Cana vs Caribe Club Princess

Caribe Club Princess is next door to Bavaro Princess and shares the same stretch of white-sand beach. Facilities are similar, but the newly remodeled Bavaro Princess is the nicer – and more expensive – of the two.

If you like the look of Princess Bavaro but prefer value-for-money over luxe, Caribe is a great choice for families.

• Good value accommodations
• Lively atmosphere with fun evening entertainment
• Beautiful beach location

Bavaro Princess vs Paradisus Punta Cana

Paradisus is a luxury all-inclusive with plenty of kid-friendly amenities that appeal to families.

Bavaro Princess All Suites Resort Spa And Casino Punta Cana Reviews Dominican Republic

The hotel is similar to Bavaro Princess in terms of its contemporary decor and wide variety of restaurants. It is livelier at night, however, with a fun beach party scene.

• Luxurious, kid-friendly resort
• Beach parties in the evening
• Large property never feels crowded

Conclusion

The location, service, food and rooms are all highlights of this hotel. The recent remodel not only improved the suites; extra restaurants were added and all facilities received a facelift.

The Family Club rooms give families plenty of space and larger families are catered for with triple bunks. The only slight downside to these rooms is a lack of privacy – a sliding door to create two separate rooms would be a welcome addition.

To truly receive a personalized, five star experience, you will need to upgrade to the Platinum suites, but the service is good regardless.

There is not much in the way of evening entertainment, aside from the casino. If this is important to you, the Caribe Club next door would be a better fit.

The other common complaint is the sheer size of the property. Depending on where your room is, you could be a long – although pleasant – walk from the beach.
