whala!bávaro - All Inclusive

We arrived in the evening; it was raining, and we had to walk to the far end of the complex. The walkways were flooded, and the reception staff didn't have any umbrellas. The water was so high that our shoes and socks were completely soaked. The rooms shown in the photos are probably in the front part of the hotel. The cleanliness was not up to the standards of a 4-star hotel. The toilet seat was loose, and there were exposed wires sticking out of the wall. At breakfast, the only coffee available was from a machine, which didn't taste very good at all. However, the breakfast itself was varied and well-balanced. You practically have to beg for a bill, as there seems to be a complicated hierarchy. All in all, it's more like a 3-star hotel with a 5-star price tag.

Very good... the breakfast buffet is great.

This hotel put an end to my travels in the Dominican Republic. Hotel which appears very pretty but is far from being so. We changed rooms 3 times in just 5 nights, you can imagine the horror. The rooms are in poor condition, the furniture is dated and deteriorated and their bathrooms are poorly maintained and full of humidity, rust on the shower heads and mold in every corner of the room. Tap water is undrinkable due to the quantity of salt present, it is therefore impossible to brush your teeth and even washing remains complicated because the smell is very unpleasant. Each of these 3 economic or superior rooms had problems with flushing the toilet (clogged every time) and the irregular drainage of the toilets was a disaster! . The device is defective, it was incessant and impossible to get to the WC in the rooms. The last evening was obviously too much! We had a flood throughout the room, a pipe burst, the floor was soaked and our suitcases were submerged by water. I am still in shock from this disastrous episode. However, the hotel is well located next to Corales beach and close to many restaurants and shops. However, I strongly advise against it, the all-inclusive formula allows you to make great savings but for insufficient service and mediocre quality. It's not worth it for the excessive price, you might as well invest in a premium resort, more expensive but much more profitable.

The bathroom was in a pitiful state. The cleaning was poorly done on this part as well. We were disgusted at the idea of ​​washing there. The ceiling was leaking... so wet feet at night when going to the toilet because of a puddle of water on the floor. Reception staff not helpful and reluctant to help with anything. On the other hand, the rest of the staff are adorable. The common places are pretty and pleasant. (Treadmill not functional in the gym) The location, a stone's throw from the sea, is also very nice. The magnificent beach.
