  • The Lopesan Costa Bavaro is a beautiful resort located in Punta Cana; we stayed here for 2 nights and had an amazing time; we decided to make a video comparing our stay with good and bad reviews found on TripAdvisor.

    It was a pleasure meeting you guys tonight at dinner at the Paradisus grand Cana. Keep up the good work. Maybe for another video please try and explore what activities or sights there are to see/do here other than Santo Domingo trip. Some hidden gems. Good luck. Indu

    My only concern is about the beach ( lot of boats around in the sea), but I will try anyway because of your review- will book for February 2024. Thanks. 😎

      Never book any resort based on the review of one youtuber. The hotels are paying selected youtubers to do positive reviews of their hotels. Its a win for the hotel and a win for the reviewer. You need to speak to those who have stayed at these large resorts for at least a week and who are not being remunerated

    After looking at your wonderful review, I'm considering going here this summer, July to be exact. Should I be expecting to experience an over abundance of seaweed?

    • @NittyGrittyTravelers
      @NittyGrittyTravelers  Před rokem +1

      To be perfectly honest, you can expect seaweed to be present in July. The hotels do the best they can to block it with sea barriers and picking up from the beach what gets through. The way we see it is that this is true for every Caribbean country, Mexico and the US during seaweed season and we need to take this into account during summer travel. Thank you for watching our videos, Kay! we appreciate your support :) You can check the price of the Lopesan on Expedia using our affiliate link: expedia.com/affiliate/To83yTg.

    @kaydavis881 Před rokem +1

    Thanks for a wonderful review! I'm concerned that the property is so big that a lot of time would be wasted trying to get from place to place. I noticed that there's some type of transportation to take you to your room. Is that true?

    • @NittyGrittyTravelers
      @NittyGrittyTravelers  Před rokem +3

      We didn't see internal transportation (i.e. a train) to move guests around the property. The hotel is indeed quite big (there are bigger resorts, like the Hard Rock) and quite a bit of walking is needed. They got around this somewhat by keeping the pools and beach on the same side of the resort and the bulk of the amenities on another wing of the resort which comes alive at night. This way you kind of stay in one part of the hotel during the day and the other at night. You can also contact the hotel to book a mobility scooter if you need one (not included in the price).

      Hi, Lourence 🙂 we recommend you see our review video for the Lopesan and the one for the Republica; both videos are on our channel. We like the Lopesan over the Riu Republica, but both hotels have a different focus, and it will depend on the type of vacation you're looking for. Hope this helps! 😃

    I read in one TripAdvisor review that there wasn't alot of fish dishes at the restaurants, is this true? Do you think the food is better at Lopesan or Falcon Resort? Also Do they have any activities during the day to keep kid entertained besides water park?

    • @NittyGrittyTravelers
      @NittyGrittyTravelers  Před rokem +1

      It’s not that there are no fish dishes but we’ve been to resorts with a more varied seafood offering. There is a kid’s and teen’s club for the younger ones 🙂

    • @NittyGrittyTravelers
      @NittyGrittyTravelers  Před rokem +1

      The food offering in the Lopesan is broader as there are more restaurants. The food quality is similar between the two 🙂

    Is it a far walk from the rooms to the boulevard? Or to the pools?

    • @NittyGrittyTravelers
      @NittyGrittyTravelers  Před rokem

      The pools are located in the same area as the rooms. The hotel is big so you can expect to do quite a bit of walking. The boulevard is in a different area than the rooms and it’s somewhat far. The Lopesan is one of the biggest hotels we’ve stayed in so far.

      We pay for every hotel we stay at. We've stayed in 15 Punta Cana resorts already and are working our way to staying in every single one. No hotel has ever paid us a dime and our opinion is honest and thorough. You are more than welcome to watch any of our videos and make up your mind. We are plenty critical when there are things we don't like. When we like a hotel we also recommend it gladly.
