Princess Family Club Bavaro - All Inclusive

Very good

We have been to this resort 2 times within the last two years. We have a 10yr old and 14yr old. We stayed in family club both times. We had a swim up room the last time in Dec/25. Best decision ever! Kids loved the kids buffet, the bars where they could order their kid daquiri's. The main pool was always fun. Food in restaurants as well as the buffets was fabulous. We never drank the tap water, even for brushing teeth. This helped us avoid any tummy issues. Beach is clean and beautiful views. The dive center right on the beach by the little kid water park was great. PADI certified. Beautiful grounds and impeccabely maintained. Service was always wonderful. Staff is very friendly. We always were made feel like royalty, especially the kids. We can't wait to go back!

Well let me tell you : on day 1 we found out we couldn’t use the waterslide with my grandchildren! How ridiculous is that? Children if 3 and 18 months needed us to be with them on the waterslide!! 2- When we called guest service NO ONE ANSWERED EVER! 3- The beach was way too strong for young children to play in the ocean! The restaurant only open at 6 pm for dinner we had to stop at guest service to adjust our dinner reservation.. really annoying! 4- we were hustled by staff for tours and activities we didn’t want to do since we had a young family we take around. 5- Service at breakfast was so slow we had to fectch our waiters everyday 6- The smell ( cooked meat was so bad I couldn’t go on the patio ! 7- The room had a moldy smell. 8- We all got sick The seaweed at the beach was out of control, no crew to clean up. 9- I realized that the bother of waiting for the train to take us where we going is not at all restful when On vacation 10-Good even though it was plentiful was not really tasty 11- we had to wait in line 5 - 10 minutes at the omelette station, by the time we ate food was cold 12- Buffet style is a lot of work when you vacation with a young family, sit down dinners was a bit better 13- in 8 days I had 1 good meal 14- I booked in April, in August I called the hotel to make sure that my room and my son’s room were next to each other, no one answered I HAD TO CALL EXPEDIA IN DECEMBER SPEND 30 minutes on the phone to get that set up.

amenities were the same each day. No space in restaurants. same buffet. lack of courtesy from staff. not enough chairs in central for amenities. the water park broke down - a water bucket get loose and fall from the higher part of the scaffolding. Scary moment for all parents and kids.

Great property, clean and well taken care of. Rooms are dated, bathrooms (in family rooms) are very small. Blankets on kids beds are hard.
