Very nice stay, from the reception with a champagne in the reception office, you are deeply relaxed and feel warmly welcome. Room with balcony and sea view and breakfast included was worth every peso. Large bed, sufficiently large safe, small refrigerator, modern bathroom, comfort air conditioning and all in perfect condition. Breakfast on the roof terrace next to the infinity pool is rich, everything is freshly prepared, drinks and tostas are brought to the table throughout breakfast, keyword: Morning Mimosa! And the view of the open sea. Cleanliness is top notch, you can go barefoot to any toilet near the pools and on the beach at any time. Maintenance personnel repair every little thing immediately and are on the move all day. The private beach is extremely beautiful, has enough space and drinks and snacks are served at the lounge chair. The sea was a bit polluted with seaweed during our stay, but that's just how it is, sometimes there is nothing, sometimes more, sometimes less, the water was still great and the surf was fun. In the immediate vicinity there are many boutiques, souvenir shops, corner shops, bars, pubs and restaurants for every taste. You can easily venture out on the streets day or night; private security guards stand in front of the hotels and shops and also keep an eye on the surrounding area. The only downside: The beach is located at one of two public entrances to the beach, the tourist boats moor there all day long, ship engines are repaired and tested, that wasn't a problem when we were passing through, but after a week it would probably annoy me.

A good hotel, very different from the usual mega-resorts in the area go for the largest, smallest and most collected. The location is just crazy: directly on the white beach, with an area reserved for adults and sunbeds always available. Nearby shops, restaurants and supermarkets, all within walking distance. Staff courteous and attentive. Good quality breakfast: could offer more choice, but not being a 5 star you can settle. Cleanliness acceptable. Rooms not luxurious but still modern. Lovely balcony with sea view with a minimum of space for two chairs and a small table. Two swimming pools, small but never crowded, the one on the roof on the fifth floor then a real beauty. Possibility of parking, car always kept an eye by private security. The wi-fi is great in the rooms, but on the sunbeds on the beach the connection is very lacking

Our recent stay during the Holidays was quite amazing. We chose this hotel for its proximity to the beach. You are literally on the beach the minute you step out of the hotel. We wanted a hotel that was in an area where we could walk to restaurants and bars safely and still not break the bank for nice amenities. HM Bavaro has a super location for going out to dinner, either to on the beach restaurants or in the village of El Corecito, which was 2 blocks away. The 2 restaurants at the hotel were both great. Anima, the Italian, had super pastas but also a great rib eye steak. Entertainment included a sax player, a body painter, and a dj. Shoutout to Edwin, our very attentive waiter. The Japanese restaurant was amazing. Fantastic sushi and sashimi and spicy tuna rolls, loved everything. This rooftop restaurant was also used for breakfasts, which were very tasty. A buffet was available and also an a la carte menu. They would pretty much make you anything you wanted. The main level pool was beautiful, private and had a great little bar with yummy pina caladas deftly made by Raulin. Our room was comfortable with very good AC and a ceiling fan. No coffee maker, though. The balcony was very large and sunny. We had a fridge so if you bought some wine, it could be kept cold. Upon arrival they leave you a fruit bowl and bottle of proseco. Everyone working at this hotel was friendly, curteous and tried their best to give you everything you wanted. A shoutout to Johanna for getting us the room we wanted and always trying to help. The company that owns this hotel has a policy of trying to hire and promote women and to treat their employees with respect, and it shows in their employees.

Dear Guest, Your generous review of your stay at our hotel during the holidays has left us very satisfied. We're glad to hear you found our location ideal for your needs, allowing you to explore the beach, local restaurants and bars with ease. We are pleased to know that dining at our two in-house restaurants turned out to be a delightful experience. Your plaudits for Edwin and his attentive service, as well as for Raulin and his skillful cocktails, will surely be passed on. Indeed, it is unfortunate that the lack of a coffee maker in the room was a setback. However, we were glad that the comfort of the room, the large sunny balcony and the welcome amenities made the stay enjoyable. We sincerely appreciate your praise, our goal is to ensure your satisfaction. Our company truly values ​​diversity and respect on our team, and it's gratifying to hear that our philosophy resonated with you. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

The food was terrible. Everything in our room broke. It took us 24 hours after requesting an extra blanket that we received one. They charged us 3 dollars a day to is our in room safe and they sent a ‘mechanic’ in to ‘fix’ it the 2nd day and he just needed a key but brought all of it’s tools. The tv, toilet (where you can’t put toilet paper) both broke. The food from both restaurants was terrible. The only hood part was the view of the beach. Which is really neither private or adult only as advertised. They had a small portion of the beach partitioned off with. Guard. The concierge provided no help. The front desk (1 unfriendly male concierge) was not available 24 hours. Their sister hotel is across the street so they share the beach with them - read their terrible reviews before staying here. It was in no way wonderful. The best person we encountered was the head of housekeeping, who ultimately got the tv and toilet fixed and was worried about our health as we were sick the majority of our time here.

Boutique hotel with great detail in an excellent location, away from the macro resorts. The room with sea views, super spacious, modern and luxurious. The two pools, one at ground level with enough shade and another infinity pool in the skybar, are truly wonderful. Private beach with sun loungers and umbrellas and attended by a waiter... they literally trod the beach in the mornings to remove the sargassum, something that other hotels on the same beach do not do. 10. We had breakfast included, excellent, with a brunch menu. 10. It is worth highlighting the kindness and friendliness of all the staff. And a very special mention to the reception team who made us feel at home. Another 10.
I also have to say, my wife left some sandals behind, we called and thanks to Johanny and the reception team, they immediately located them and kept them for us so we could pick them up.
Highly, highly recommended if you want to enjoy a romantic getaway!

My husband and I stayed there for 2 nights while visiting Punta Cana. A buffet and a la carte complementary breakfasts were both included in our rate and I must compliment them for the extensive choices available. In the choices were mimosas and smoked salmon. The place was calm relaxing and inviting. The ocean view room was simply amazing and the sky pool is small but has an incredible view as well. Restaurants were available on site and a lot at walking distance. Overall a great location and a wonderful property. We did not regret our stay.

The HM Bavaro Beach Hotel is located in a great spot in the town of El Cortecito, on beautiful Bavaro Beach. The breakfast that is included with your stay is outstanding (can order off their menu as well as buffet if you wish - includes coffee/tea, fresh squeezed juices, mamosa/sparkling!) The hotel is changing daily as it's an older hotel, being reno'd. Rooms are clean, beautiful balcony, 2 restaurants on site, 2 pools - 1 rooftop and 1 by front entrance. Staff is outstanding!! Johanny is the best concierge who made our stay very special & Migiuel (F&B Manager)remembered us, what food, drink we liked, from the first day we arrived & made our time spent at HM Bavaro special! As well as the rest of the staff! Hotel is located in walking distance to the grocery store(s), as well as great restaurants. We would recommend this hotel if you are interested in Small (50 rooms), non all-inclusive.

HM Bavaro is a very lovely tropical setting. My room was overlooking the ocean. I was surprised to find myself in such a beautiful room like paradise. The reason is that the street to take us to the hotel was flooded, I mean to the knee level. No parking!!!! The staff helped me to park though. The breakfast at the hotel is $25 but it was $8 if it has been purchased while booking. So buy your breakfast during booking. The beach was not great, in fact we went to other locations like Saona island, Macao beach. And be prepared for mosquitoes, they are everywhere. Other than these things, the hotel was very nice, I recommend going there.

Very nice hotel! Both swimming pools are well maintained (one hot and one colder). Direct access to the beach is great, deckchair available! The fact that children are not allowed makes the hotel super quiet! THE breakfast is terrible - lunch to choose from the menu + access to the buffet! Enough to eat for a whole day! The rooms are beautiful and those overlooking the beach have a little extra! The only downside is the cleanliness, for a hotel at 300 euros per night - the rooms were not nice and the shower was a little rusty and loose. Otherwise this hotel remains one of the most beautiful hotels we have visited in the DR.
