I was wondering if the rooms at the Barcelo Bavaro Caribe or in general at this whole resort, have been renovated recently or when the recent renovation was?
I found some pics on webshots and it appeared the bespreads for the most part looked like just a white sheet and not even a regular bedspread...LOL, anyhow looked really tacky. Is that fruit wallpaper behind the headboards still there too?
Boy that's dated as all get out!!!!!
As well have they replaced the bathroom fixtures and so forth?
Considering the resort is 20 some years old, it has me wondering.
I'm certainly not expecting the greatest here outside of perhaps the beach and hopefully the food will be halfway decent.
I am far from being picky but having just stayed in June at the Barcelo Maya Beach Resort in Riviera Maya, MX .....this might be a total about face, compared to that, considering the resort there was only 5 years old.
I know a vacation is all what you make it but since we are only staying 4 nites I surely hope we aren't going to be dealing with cockroaches, leaky ceilings, rats in the room, no air condiitioning, broken toilets or showers....(as others have mentioned) ......you know you read so many bad reviews on TripAdvisor like "don't touch this place with a BARGE pole"....LOL. Maybe I need to quit reading those.
Have they also replaced the loungers at this resort? I see some pics with the open weave ones (those are so uncomfortable) and then some like we had in Mexico at the Barcelo there, which were NOT open weave and all one piece fabric, way better..
I guess you would think after nearly 10 years since I read the last renovation was done in 1997, it would be a priority to start the second round of new renovations now LOL
I am surprised that as nice as the property was in Mexico there and so well kept, that the property here seems so run down.
Of course for $41 per nite (as a couple) for the room at least, maybe we should not be complaining, but with our AIR it came to as much as the 7 nite stay we had in Mexico for $1200. However I have a feeling this stay, won't even come close to our trip there.
Sure could use some words of wisdom from those in the know here.
Thanks again for your help, all of you.
