Lopesan Costa Bávaro Resort, Spa and Casino is a big, colorful all-inclusive resort on the Bávaro coast, run by a Spanish hotel group with a strong reputation for resort holidays. The grounds are laid out like a small town, with lagoon-style pools, gardens, bars and restaurants connected by walkways, and a beach that stretches along the Atlantic. The mood is festive, with daily activities, evening shows and a casino that keeps the nightlife going. The resort offers a wide choice of dining, from buffets to specialty restaurants, and the all-inclusive rate covers meals, snacks and drinks. Facilities include a spa, a fitness center, a kids club and sports such as tennis and water activities. Rooms and suites are spacious and well kept, many with balconies, and family rooms are offered. The location in Bávaro puts guests close to shops, restaurants and excursions, including Saona Island, the Scape Park and the Coco Bongo nightclub. Lopesan is popular with European and North American travelers who want a lively, social stay with plenty of options, and it works well for families, couples and groups. The size of the property means you can find a quiet corner if you wish, but the centerpiece pools and bars are busy. It is a good all-round choice for travelers who want comfort, variety and a sense of fun, and it offers good value compared with the very top end of the market.
Location and getting around
The resort is in Bávaro on the Atlantic coast, roughly half an hour by car from Punta Cana International Airport. Many excursions collect from the lobby, and taxis run to Bávaro's shopping and dining areas.
Rooms
Standard rooms, junior suites and family suites are offered, with garden, pool or ocean views. Because the resort is large, location matters, so ask for a room near the pool, beach or restaurants you will use most.
Who it suits
Families, couples and groups who enjoy a lively resort with entertainment, a casino and plenty of dining choice.
Good to know
Check which restaurants require reservations, and what the spa and casino charge separately. Beach conditions vary by season, and seaweed can appear on some stretches of the coast at certain times of year.
Planning notes
The size of the resort means it pays to ask for a room near the facilities you plan to use. Travelers who enjoy nightlife will appreciate the casino and shows, while those seeking quiet should request a room away from the main entertainment area. Restaurants may need reservations, so book early. Use the Bávaro location for day trips such as Saona Island, Scape Park and the Coco Bongo nightclub, and ask the activity desk about transport options.
