Lopesan Costa Bávaro: Your Escape to Elegance
Rejuvenate with spa bliss, fine dining, and tranquil beaches
Why we love it
The setting
Lopesan Costa Bávaro sits along Bávaro Beach on the eastern coast of the Dominican Republic, a stretch of pale sand and warm Caribbean water. The resort spreads across landscaped grounds with several pools, palm-lined walkways and a beachfront dotted with thatched sun shades. Rooms look out over the gardens or the resort, and the design leans on natural wood and soft greens. Punta Cana International Airport is around 12.5 km away, so the transfer from arrival to check-in is short.
What to expect
This is an all-inclusive stay, so meals and most drinks are covered across the resort's restaurants and bars. There is a large free-form pool, a separate spa pool, a fitness centre with cardio and weights, and a games room with a pool table and arcade machines. Families have a water park on site. The spa offers treatments for couples who want a quiet afternoon, while the casino and nightclub handle the evenings. Note that lobster and a few premium drinks carry an extra charge.
Things to do nearby
The hotel is close to several spots worth a short trip. Palma Real Shopping Village is about 1.7 km away for shops and dining away from the resort. Golfers have Cocotal Golf and Country Club at roughly 2.2 km. Cortecito Beach, a more local stretch with fishing boats and casual bars, is around 3.9 km. For an evening out, Princess Tower Casino sits about 4.8 km from the hotel. Macao Beach, known for its surf, is a longer drive at 17.9 km.
Best for
Couples after a warm-weather all-inclusive with spa time, good food and beach days. The mix of pools, a casino and quiet beachfront also suits travellers who want options without leaving the grounds.
