Restaurants, great, but avoid The Valley. Grounds/facilities, excellent. Gym, spa, very nice. Couples massage, excellent. Bar locations, drink options, good. Good sized room but very cold - thermostat always reverted back to 22C. Got an extra duvet. Fridge stocked most days. Pools good. Beach lounge chairs okay with options for straw umbrellas if placed your towel by 730am.
Adults only? Nope! Kids everywhere! Naming convention used on Expedia, and likely everywhere else, misleading. This resort has three names: 1) Adults Only Club at Lopesan Costa Bavaro - All Inclusive; 2) Unique Club at Lopesan Costa Bavaro - All Inclusive; and 3) Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort Spa & Casino - All Inclusive. When selected filter for “adults only” on Expedia, got this resort. I didn’t pick up on the club part.
Adults only means an adult only section of rooms in the south-west section at the front of the hotel. Selected the Tropical room. It faced outside the hotel, south, looking at apartments, a road, some palm trees - not very picturesque or “Tropical”. Road is used for all deliveries, garbage trucks, motorcycles, recycling, noisy from 630AM. Requested to be moved, but couldn’t until after the second night, on which they followed through.
Adult only pool was good enough and had security - no kids. Adult only section on the beach not enforced - kids. Adult only buffet same - kids. Hey, we like kids and have 3 young adults, but this whole Adults Only thing is completely misleading at Lopesan.
