The people at Ocean Bavaro were very pleasant and always friendly, but that isn't all that makes a vacation memorable.Right at check-in there was a swarm of unorganization. It took me ONE hour to finally get checked in and that being only after I got a little obnoxious with the front desk. There was no system for checking in. Everyone swarmed the reception. People that had been there and were waiting patiently got passed over by people that were just coming off the bus and were rude and pushy (these got checked-in rather quickly). After an hour and my own "rudeness" I was told that I would get a poolside room to compensate for the delay. I received a room near the entrance of the hotel; that being NO WHERE near the pool. The rooms were clean and cool, BUT there is a definite problem with housekeeping! It's done way too late in the afternoon and there was ALWAYS a shortage of towels (meaning there were none in the room). I had to complain twice to the front desk.The only restaurant worth going to was the Italian Buffet and the Japanese which incidentally need reservations. You have to get up at 6:30am to GET in line to make reservations (they start taking reservations at 7am.) and still it is not a guarantee that you will be able to get a reservation.All in all the vacation was a pleasant one, due to good company and a bright outlook on the situation.Happy Vacationing Everyone.

Hotel has a good potential...Needs lots of updates, rooms conditions are below average, service has to improve, food preparation at the grill is below any standards, cook handles raw meat (burgers), and same time is making pizza and hot dogs without gloves....

This was the worst Hotel experience. The food was not good at all and there is no variety of food available. The facility are not impressive need improvement. The rooms are very small and the beds are not sturdy..dont be surprise if your bed rolls while you sleep. The staff is very friendly.

First 3 days went as expected. Beaches are exciting, service was good, food is average, room needed maintenance. The rest 2 days (Sat and Sun) were very disappointing. Hotel management allowed locals in. Nice people, but a lot of them (about a 100 of them). We had to wait for 20 mins to get seated for meals, to get plates, and wait for food to come. Shows (after the 8.30 pm kids show and before the 10 pm show) were performed by locals and had inappropriate sexual character (reminded me cheap porno). When locals left, everything came back to normal.

Boy is it hot and humid here, wear very light clothing when you travel because the airport, the hotel lobby, and the main buffet, are open air. Many things are in need of repair our room lock broke, the safe had to be repaired, we did not have one drop of hot water, and only one ac was functioning in our two room suite. The food is strange and not very good. Don't count on the kids club it is a sad little playground without any kids or staff. The grounds and the beach are beautiful. Overall go there if you are a couple on a low budget and dont love food and arent picky.
