Hotel Bogavante

I would have given a lower rating but I have given the hotel an average rating to recognize that the waitstaff in the bar and restaurant were good. Jasmine and the bartender were helpful, friendly and efficient. The administrative staff was average and not all that helpful. The view in our room was very pretty and that was why we booked in the first place and the location was good for walking. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the rest of the hotel. The hotel itself was tired — although some of the rooms were updated, the one we stayed in was in need of updating. What was supposed to be a couch looked more like a college dorm room sofa with suede seats and leather back. It was not at all comfortable or inviting. It honestly didn’t even feel clean. The ledge in the kitchenette had dead bugs on it. Towels were old, some were gray and the sheets were old and pilled. I had to ask for hangers (there were only 2 in the room) and a hair dryer. One of the few good things was the water pressure in the shower. It was good. There were no screens on the doors to the patio. When we asked if they had screens they said they would check, but they never got back with us even after we checked with them a 2nd time. The pool area was ok. We left 3 days early and stayed at another hotel. I would not stay at this place again.

First time in Barra and the hotel did not disappoint. It's located right on the beach. We had a basic room with two double beds. Initially we stayed on the street side, but we were able to upgrade to the ocean side -- highly recommend that if you can get it as it's quieter and you can enjoy the fantastic sunsets from your balcony, and fall asleep listening to the sounds of the waves. On the street side every other morning you are awoken by a Zoomba class on the courtyard right below... They provide bottled water every day. The pool is clean and fairly quiet. The beach below the hotel isn't great for swimming as it's quite sloped and the waves can be large -- not impossible, just not ideal -- the better beach is down in Melaque. You are located right in the heart of some of the best Mexican food and music. A 5 minute walk to the marina, public buses and all the pubs. Great value.

Excelente service, Property, restaurant especially the Waiter.

Location Location location The hotel has a beautiful view. The wait staff left a lot to be desired. They never came to see if you needed anything. You always had to flag them down. There is no WiFi in the rooms.

FABULOUS LOCATION AND VIEW. Good value for money although sound really echoes in the hallways. I'd recommend earplugs.

Hotel and room were always clean …they had excellent entertainment..however there was only wifi in the lobby …view is wonderful

This was the perfect spot to stay and a beautiful pool overlooking the ocean. The staff was great as were the Pina Coladas at the pool!

Room had a strange layout and there weren’t many amenities but the staff was very attentive and the ocean was clean to swim in. The pool was a bit cold. It was a good location to walk around town really enjoyed the town of Barre de Navidad Definitely will go back

More help need on breakfasts time,!!
