Great video as are all your barcelo videos I've watched so far. I've stayed at two different rooms in this complex both times on the palace side, not on the family or adult sections. Both times junior suites, but also a junior suite family premium level room and it was the perfect room for a family. We had 3 adults and a child. The room was large, is was like two of the rooms in this video with two bathrooms 2 beds in each and a huge deck that went the length of both rooms with ocean views. The premium level has it's benefits, from the free WiFi to the water parks, premium lobby, French restaurant and do many more perks it's worth the additional cost.
@@SunnySouthVacations Hard to name just one, I liked the whole layout of the resort, it's modern, big and bright, it just has that "it" feeling, as soon as you walk in you go wow! Huge pools, great beachfront...Also should mention the pool bar waitress/Bartender, Dulce, was perhaps the best bartender I've ever seen. Like clockwork I would think, "hey I need a drink" and I would turn around and she'd be there bringing a drink. Also the kids activities, like the children water parks were great for my young one. So many restaurant choices, the buffets had such a great long variety, the sports bar had good food 24/7...I've been to a few other All Inclusives that when it hit a certain time you were gonna be eating cold cheese sandwiches and shriveled hot dogs or just popcorn that's been sitting around. My only negative and it's not the resorts fault since they try their best but the seaweed situation can be hit or miss. I see when you went to the beach it was absolutely seaweed free. Lately the only place I've seen without any seaweed whatsoever was the RIU Ocho Rios in jamaica, although that was a few years ago so I can't speak for it now.
@@aikidoboynj it sounds like you had an amazing time and after being there myself I'm not surprised. The beach was indeed fantastic when I was there and while I didn't have my daughter with me I knew she'd love those waterparks. Thanks again for watching my videos and please consider subscribing. Once we're able to travel a bit more freely again I should have many more to post here on my channel.
@@SunnySouthVacations Definitely, I'm so ready to go back, I already subscribed to your channel, do you have any places in mind for when Covid is over? Any recommendations in DR besides barcelo? I visited La Romana Iberostar as well and while the ocean was better regarding seaweed there was pretty much none but the actual facility left a lot to be desired, while beautiful in it's own way with many animals trees, plants, it's traditional style is starting to show it's age as well as the rooms, this is my recollection from 2017 but although nice and relaxing it didn't have that "wow" factor that Barcelo had.
@@aikidoboynj I'm actually going back to Barcelo in early 2021. This time with family and friends. If you love DR I suggest you take a look at the Hyatt properties in Cap Cana. They have one adults only and one family resort. My email address is in my ABOUT section if have any questions about that property or would appreciate some assistance with your booking. Thanks again for watching and your comments. Its nice to know that good people are watching and enjoy these videos.
Ernesto, it's a fantastic resort and I hope you have a blast. Thanks for stopping by the channel and watching the video tour of the Junior Suite. Are you staying in a Junior Suite? Have you watched the resort tour video on our channel? Check it out.
Hey @matthewgrieder4899 thank you for stopping by the channel and watching one of my room tour videos from Barcelo Bavaro Palace? Have you watched my full resort tour videos as well? The items in the mini-fridge are include in your stay at Barcelo Bavaro Palace. You can ask for it be refilled with the items you enjoy the most as well.
Hi Jon, just emailed you back. If you don't see the email in your inbox please check your junk folder. A good start for upgrades is to ask about Premium Level. You pay for it but the benefits could be well worth it for you and your GF. Here is a link to the resorts Premium Level benefits. www.barcelo.com/en-ca/barcelo-bavaro-palace/premium-level/premium-level/ Thanks again for watching and your great questions.
Hi Paul, thanks for stopping by the channel and for the great question. Yes, all Junior Suites have the outdoor jacuzzi. That said, you may want to take a look at the Premium Level perks as they are quite good. You have access to the premium level lounge, priority check in and check out, you can make advanced reservations at the restaurants, complimentary access to the Pirates Island waterpark as well as an elevated mini-bar among other benefits. If you have any other questions please let me know. I'll be back at the resort in a couple weeks and look to have an updated video soon. Please consider subscribing if you haven't already to be the first to see that updated video. It's easy and free. Thanks again.
Also do you no if purchasing at premium level, is there premium liquor available at that level? I’m looking to book and tryna see if it’s all worth it. Especially now during the pandemic
@@tyronnac_1488 I don't see any mention of a premium liquor upgrade that comes with Premium Level. They do provide a welcome bottle of rum and you would have access to the Premium Level lounge which may serve more premium liquors. Is there a particular brand/bottle that is of more interest to you? If so, please send me an email and I can attempt to get an answer for you from my resort contacts. I can be reached out jeff@sunnysouthvacations.ca. Thanks again for watching.
Hi Sergio, unfortunately I don't as I was up against some tight time constraints when I was at the resort. That said, the Jr Suite and Jr Suite Premium level aren't that much different. They are located in the same buildings closest to the ocean. You can see they are U-shaped buildings from my video. The Premium Level rooms are the tips of the U-shape and are considered oceanfront vs oceanview. The Premium Level rooms are also slightly bigger at 569 sq ft vs 511 sq ft. The big different you'll notice is the location (oceanfront) and the Premium Level amenities such as personalized check in, concierge access, preferred access to a la carte restaurants without limit and access to private lounge among many other benefits. If I can help you any further with questions please consider sending me an email at jeff@sunnysouthvacations.ca . Thanks for watching and the great question. I'm sure this helped many others.
@@sergiorivera4954 the regular Jr Suites do not offer a separate bedroom option, however, the Family Jr. Suites do offer the separate bedroom and a second bathroom. Here's a quick breakdown.

Hi RaRa Ryes, the Superior Rooms can be a good distance away from Junior Suites. I would estimate a 8-12min walk depending on which building you're in as both the Superior Rooms and Junior Suites can be found in multiple buildings. If you like a picture please send me an email and I can send you a image that will show you where they are located. My email is jeff@sunnysouthvacations.ca
Sergio, another great question. The fee to upgrade varies as the number of Premium Level rooms is limited. Depending on your travel dates, time of year and current capacity limits the upgrade can be higher or lower. If you want me to look at some specific dates for you please consider sending me an email and I can provide you with some pricing so you can see the difference. Thanks again for watching and the great questions.

Is the bathroom area just opened, is there no privacy door separating the shower?
