Barceló Bávaro Beach Resort, in Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic, announced a comprehensive renovation program that will transform the five-in-one hotel. The first phase of the rejuvenation program was completed in December 2008, with the addition of 488 junior suites as Barceló Bávaro Palace Deluxe. As the new luxury wing of the resort, Barceló Bávaro Palace Deluxe also brought with it a new concierge-style check-in as well as a new buffet restaurant, Las Brisas. Additionally, each junior suite at Barceló Bávaro Palace Deluxe offers a private balcony or terrace with views of the Caribbean Sea as well as a hydrotherapy whirlpool for two persons on the suite's balcony or terrace. Other new amenities include 32-inch LCD televisions, Barceló's signature bedding, premium rain showers and Wi-Fi access, both in-room and throughout the entire resort complex, making Barceló Bávaro Palace Deluxe the resort's highest level of affordable, all-inclusive luxury. The next stage of the renovation program, Barceló Bávaro Caribe Beach Deluxe, is scheduled for completion in December 2009.
This new offering promises to be the resort's most family-friendly category, featuring 180 family suites, each designed and equipped to meet the unique needs of an entire family. Each suite will offer one king-sized bed, two full-sized beds and one twin-sized sofa bed, allowing for a maximum capacity of seven people, with separate rooms for parents and children. After the completion of the resort-wide rejuvenation project, which will be undertaken in a series of stages over the next several years, a total of 1,850 guest rooms and suites will be fully renovated. In addition to the property's already expansive list of all-included dining offerings and activities, the resort, upon its completion, will feature newly re-designed sports facilities, including Punta Cana's premier golf course. Nine holes are currently undergoing re-design by acclaimed course architect P.B. Dye, while the remaining nine holes are still available for play. This first phase of the renovation is scheduled to be complete by December 2009, when all 18 holes will be open and golf-ready. The second phase of this re-design will then take place later in 2010, resulting in a complete 18-hole, P.B Dye-designed golf course by the end of next year.
