Good Points

Almost everything. Undoubtedly the best - the air-conditioned rooms!

Bad Points

The suites were a little cramped with 2 adults and 2 children but we were not in them for long! The flight was horrendous. We flew with Britannia who do not seem to be interested in looking after you, simply getting you there and back. We were offered 1 drink in 9 hours and left us for 5 hours before offering us a meal. BE WARNED - fill your bags with snacks and drinks because Britannia charge you the earth!

General Comments

We have just returned from a two week stay at the Fiesta Bavaro at Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and have had a fantastic holiday. The trip was package holiday we booked with Thompsons. Although we cannot fault the hotel and everything that goes with it, the flight with Britannia was awful. They really haven't researched "long haul" flights at all. It is the only long haul flight we have been on where you have to pay for drinks. There is nothing for children on the flight, although you would be advised to order yourself a childrens meal on the plane as the adult portions were measly and disgusting. The children got more and it was edible.
The resort is beautiful. The accommodation, restaurants, grounds and facilities were immaculate. They put England to shame with the service and the cleanliness. The staff are the friendlist we have ever come across. Throughout the 14 days, there was never an insect or mosquito to be seen. The crickets were out in force at night time but we never saw any of them.
If you want a relaxing, beautiful, tropical holiday, this is the place to be. We literally did not lift a finger for 14 days. The food was great, literally 100's of dishes to choose from. Although we didn't venture out of the complex, some friends did the Monster Jeep Safari and the Aqua Safari and said they were fantastic. Worth every penny!
The beach is absolutely gorgeous with bars serving soft drinks and beer. The sea is simply beautiful! Paradise! We met quite a few Americans who told us that they had been to various caribbean islands but none were as nice as Bavaro. There were several people at La Romana airport who had said they had been to the South side of the island and said that their resort had been overrun with rats and mosquitos. There is none of this at Bavaro.
Although there is not much entertainment at the Fiesta Bavaro, the staff put shows on each evening at the Open Air Theatre. These were always entertaining. You have to see the production of Fantasia around the pool - it is excellent. They also do a "Mr Fiesta" and "Miss Fiesta" show which are absolutely hilarious.
We also saw several weddings whilst we were there which were all beautiful.
The kids club is also very good. It is run by a lady called Isabella who speaks several different languages. She is extremely friendly and obviously loves children. There are all sorts of activities that the kids can do with her, which was a change from them either being in the pool or on the beach.
I would not say that the accommodation at the Fiesta Bavaro is of 5 star standard. For 2 adults and 2 children, the rooms are a little cramped, but what is the point in having luxurious rooms when all you do is shower and sleep in them.
Overall I would recommend this resort without a shadow of a doubt. If anybody goes here and does not enjoy it, I cannot imagine what they want.
