Our first stop was Barcelo Bavaro Beach (adults only part of the resort)- it offers the tranquil vibe of a smaller property, but the extensive features of a megaresort, including a spa, fitness center, golf course, and numerous pools. However, most of these amenities are about a…

Club Med Cancun Yucatan has arguably the best location in Cancun, with 22 acres and its own peninsula at the south end of the Hotel Zone. Club Med has a sweep of white-sand beaches (with a view of Cancun hotels all in a row), and round point (Punta Nizuc), a private stretch of seaside with snorkeling, as well as a further beach area with watersports. The resort also has a lagoon side! A highlight for families at Club Med resorts are the kids programs. Say good-bye to kids clubs with video…

Like us on Facebook www.familytc.com Here is the review of Iberostar Bavaro in Dominican Republic from one of our customers who just returned back from this resort. Positive first: 1. Excellent food - good variety and great home-made taste, excellent fruit selection and quality (we became passion fruit junkies!), my extremely picky 4 year-olds were actually finding lots of things to eat and I don't mean just French fries! 2. Good drinks - liked the house wine quite a bit :) 3. Fantastic…
