The Barceló Bávaro Palace is the best of the 5 hotels forming the Barceló Bávaro Beach Resort, the only hotel complex located in the Punta Cana region, in the Eastern part of the Dominican Republic. The hotel is situated right by the sea on the 3 km long stretch of fine white sand of Bávaro Beach, considered to be one of the top ten beaches in the world. The beach is protected by a coral reef, which forms a natural swimming pool of turquoise-blue water, revealing a wonderful submarine world beneath its surface.
