Villas Bavaro
Hlywud has it right about this Barcelo property, it is the poor cousin to the Barcelo Resort and Convention Center located nearby. It is primarily marketed for budget minded European travelers. Amenities are basic: decent clean rooms, pool, buffet style meals, enthusiastic animators, bare bones entertainment. great beach. Villas patrons can go to the Barcelo Resort, but need to pay for the upgrade in services (day & night passes) at a discount off the street value. You would probably get a better deal and services at the neighboring Melia Caribe or Tropical. Regards, PJT
