Chateau Del Mar Ocean Villas D2 Suit

Bavaro

I wish I could give 0 stars. This place is an absolute dump! I don’t even know where to start and I assume most of these reviews are fake. First and foremost it’s located on a random side street that was flooded with dark brown foul smelling sewage. The beach that’s near by is also not nice at all. Lots of seaweed, bad smell, etc. They clearly haven’t done any maintenance on this property at all. It looks nothing like the pictures online. Everything is dingy and worn. Furniture had rips in it. Power would go out. The rooms were beyond bare minimal. No tv in my bedroom just a hole where the wiring used to be. Security is non existent. The toilet seat was broken. The shower had mold. They just have codes for the room, that you can’t change and are pretty basic. It was so unacceptable that I left after day 1 and went to a nearby resort. Do not even consider staying here if it’s free. Thank me later. Also all of the pictures they post online are from years ago

Worst place you can imagine.

Following is my review broken down into key categories: 

Hosts and Property Management:  
Daviana (and her husband Manuel) are amazing hosts. Although we did not meet in person we communicated via WhatsApp and /or Airbnb and I found them to be very accessible, pleasant, and accommodating. Any issues we had with the penthouse were taken care of quickly and efficiently. The super host ranking is very well deserved!! 

Bertho the manager of the property is great. He is Daviana’s property maintenance/manager who lives on the property, and the person who took care of everything that was needed.  

Location: 
Chateau del Mar is in a fantastic location, less than 100 steps from the beach. It is also within walking distance of many great restaurants, a supermarket/mini mart and even a small slot machine casino.  

One important thing to note is that there is A LOT of new builds/ construction around the Chateau making the road a hazard and quite messy. Also, when it rains the road right in front of the Chateau turns into a mini lake. (No drainage /sewers). Do not bring nice shoes as they will be ruined by the dust, mud, and water.  

The Penthouse: 
Check in was seamless and love the fact that it is a keypad lock so no need to worry about keys.  The star of this property is the rooftop pool terrace. We spent most of our time there enjoying the pool, and the beautiful ocean views. The wicker patio furniture and cushions are not only attractive but also extremely comfortable! 

The living /dining room/kitchen area is spacious and the huge TV with firestick was great. The kitchen was well equipped for all our needs.  

The bedrooms are nice with comfortable mattresses and pillows and white crisp bedding that was changed weekly by the cleaning staff. Nice bathrooms with large walk-in showers. 

What’s Included: 
Water cooler with 8L gallon of water that is replenished when empty. Just call Bertho and within minutes we had water! 

Toilet paper, paper towels, dish washing soap and hand liquid soap is supplied on arrival and replenished when needed.  

Electricity  

Air conditioners in main living area as well as each of the three bedrooms, that worked well at cooling the spaces.  

Wi-Fi – which was GREAT! On any given day we had 6 devices on the Wi-Fi with people working remotely, taking video calls and we had no issues at all! 

What could be improved: 
Given we loved our stay these are just suggestions that would take it from very good to excellent!

The penthouse would benefit from a “refresh”: a fresh coat of paint, fresh caulking on all windows, sliding doors and showers, brighter lighting and/or vanity mirrors in bathrooms, a new toilet in terrace bathroom, railing on pool stairs.  

The overall building and its staircase could also use a paint job. Also, the laundry room/area could use a “makeover.” 

Highly recommend!

Penthouse Suite- Long Term Stay 2022- Overall  a great stay!

Daviana Is wonderful, The place looks even much better in person it was clean the staff was friendly and Berto especially was an amazing he was very helpful in guiding us around and had great recommendations for places to go and eat or adventure. The host has her own guidebook which was also helpful I visit a few of those places and I didn’t regret it. if you’re thinking about coming to Punta Cana this is the best place to come you won’t regret it you’ll love the experience we’re on the beach and everything is so close by one or five-minute walk. The host Was helpful in finding Transportation and Covid testiing, and etc. Thank you so much for going above and beyond for my friends and I we had a great time.

Amazing / Ocean view

Travelling on a family group, we stayed for a weekend at "Chateau del Mar Ocean Villa", at the "Playa Bávaro" in Punta Cana. We enjoyed our stay and have no complaints at all. The room was nice, clean and comfortable, as were the bathroom facilities. It offered us then a nice relation between costs and benefits. Besides that, "Chateau del Mar Ocean Villa" is fantastically located and the white sands of "Playa Bávaro" are just a few steps away. Enjoy!

A small and cozy hotel at Playa Bávaro ...

I don't want to leave reviews, but I'm very much guided by the reviews left by the rest. And this hotel is well rated and listed as excellent. Unfortunately, I can't say the same as the rest and tell you that I feel EXCELENT. 1. The photos aren't reality. The rooms are HORRIBLE. 2. The kitchen had rotten horns, rotten perches and the fridge was dirty. 3. ALL SUCIOUS!!!! FEO OLOR!!! (I think it does not describe the bathroom......) It was unfortunate that our stay was super-appropriate, despite the fact that the area where the hotel is located is super-appropriate.

Staff members of the staff.

Great location just less than a minute to the beach.  Staff were very friendly and helpful.  The pool was great to have the morning was in sunshine and then afternoon in the shade which helped with the heat.  The accommodation was good. Hot water was tempramental but fine.  All in all a great find.

Superb Location

We repeated Chateau del Mar on our last visit. It is getting better and better. The rooms are modern and clean. We managed to rest that it is just what we came to. The attention was very good and the truth had no impact on the days we were there. Just relax. The hotel is located in the center of Bavaria so it is easy to find options for eating and going out for those who miss everything included in the resorts.

Better still the second time

El Chateau is characterized by excellent personalized care, the suites are comfortable and with spaces for everyone, you can have two or three rooms, surrounded by some all include you know that it is very strategic its location three steps from the sea in the sector of the Cortesito, the restaurant with which it has breakfast service is excellent you have a block a variety of restaurants and a half-block you can rent your vehicle from a day if you want, but at best the attention of MONCHI in the hotel made me feel at home.

 Quiet and private family vacation.

Although our apartment was spacious and decorated rather tastefully, the photos of the site do not match the service, e.g. the rooftop pool is only accessible if you rent the corresponding apartment. Moreover, the precision of the detail is not at the appointment: bathroom with rust marks, hanging towel hanging and handful that remains in your hands. Then very disappointed with breakfast (which should be taken in a coffee shop 300m away which is not inconvenient in itself) but the choice is very limited and there is no consistency from one to the other. And to finish the reception and service of a strict minimum. I strongly recommend this place.

That's very disappointing.

It's a great hotel near the beach. Large, modern apartments. We two families stayed for a couple of nights before the cruise. The room was better than we booked, with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms. It's clean, cool, there's everything you need.
