This will also guarantee the quickest way from the airport to the pool for your kids. 😉

Let’s have a look at Princess Family Club Bavaro first. The family all-inclusive resort has just one U-shaped building with 164 rooms, which has a small garden, a kids water park, a pool and gastronomic services in the middle of the “U”. Having everything so close makes it a very intimate hotel.

The family all-inclusive resort Princess Family Club Bavaro

The heart of Princess Family Club is the water park, which is perfectly suitable for younger kids. It is designed in the form of a pirate’s castle and features several water games, a playground and more than 10 small water slides. You can leave your kids here the whole day, they definitely will be entertained. Further Punta Cana resorts with water parks can be found here.

Next to the water park, you can also find a fully-stocked bar, the kids club (for kids in the ages of 4-12) and a special family snack restaurant called Mordisco, which is open from 7 am to 4 pm, making it the perfect choice if the kids are hungry in between and don’t wanna go for a proper lunch.

Guests at Grand Bavaro Princess don’t have access to this water park and to Princess Family Club Bavaro in general, which is why this area hardly gets crowded.

All family members who are too old for the water park or want to have a proper pool can use the separate pool at Princess Family Club Bavaro or the main pool at Grand Bavaro Princess.

The beach at Princess Family Club Bavaro

Talking about the beach, guests of Princess Family Club Bavaro have full access to the beach of Grand Bavaro Princess. It is a 15-minute walk (approx. 3000 feet or 900 meters) from most of the rooms at Princess Family Club Bavaro or a 3-minute ride with the internal Princess train.

The beach is part of the Arena Blanca area, which belongs to Bavaro Beach, one of Punta Canas’ most popular and beautiful beaches. It is a long and bright sandy beach with endless space to play in the sand, as it is a very ample part of the beach. Furthermore, you can do endless beach walks, as it stretches for at least 4 miles in each direction, passing several other all-inclusive resorts in Punta Cana.

The Grand Bavaro Princess beach in Punta Cana

On the beach, you can find sufficient sunloungers and natural umbrellas, food trucks and bars, a water sports center and direct access to the main pool of Grand Bavaro Princess. There is also a beach volleyball court and a buffet restaurant, so it is easy to spend the whole day at the beach if your kids once get tired from the water park.

The rooms at Princess Family Club Bavaro

Let’s have a closer look at the rooms for this Princess Family Club Bavaro review, which offer some very cool amenities for families traveling to Punta Cana.

First of all, Princess Family Club Bavaro is one of the few all-inclusive resorts in Punta Cana which offers bunk beds AND a capacity for 5 guests, which is perfect for families with 3 kids or for parties traveling with several adults who need their own bed. In fact, you even have 4 separate beds in all the Princess Family Club Bavaro rooms as there is one king-size bed and one double bunk bed. The bunk bed is extendible and can hold another separate bed.

Furthermore, the suites at Princess Family Club Bavaro come with many more family amenities. In the minibar, which gets replenished daily, you can find juices and milk drinks (besides some soft drinks and beers for the parents).

There are also sweets and drinking cups for the kids.

Family amenities at Princess Family Club Bavaro, a family all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana

In general, all the Princess Family Club Bavaro rooms are super modern and recently renovated. Same as the rooms at neighboring Grand Bavaro Princess, they are sparkling clean and come with shiny colors and a bright design. They also feature a super-spacious shower (which would fit the whole family 😉 ), a separate toilet and a television. Free WiFi is included and works very well. The air-conditioning in the room is super strong in both hotels. Despite putting it at 25 degrees Celsius (77 Fahrenheit), I was nearly freezing at night (and too lazy to turn it off). 😉

Princess Family Club Bavaro only has two room categories:
– Family Club Junior Suite
– Family Club Junior Suite Swim-Out

The swim-out rooms at Princess Family Club Bavaro

Both room categories feature all the amenities described above. The only difference between both is the swim-out option.

While the Family Club Junior Suites have a balcony with a view of the pool, the garden and the water park, the Family Club Junior Suite Swim-Out has direct access to the pool right from the very spacious terrace. Both, the terrace and the balconies, are featuring lounging chairs and a super cool design element, a pink rabbit, giving the hotel a very special touch, being a little bit different than the typical all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana.

Booking and Prices at Princess Family Club Bavaro

Princess Family Club Bavaro can be booked through various websites and tour operators. It is listed as a separate property in all booking engines, so it is also easy to find the right hotel and room category. The swim-out rooms are usually just a few dollars more expensive than those with a balcony, so pick the one which suits you best. The Punta Cana swim-out rooms at Princess Family Club Bavaro might be particularly suitable for older children where constant supervision is not always necessary.

Delicious sushi in Punta Cana at Grand Bavaro Princess

In general, the food quality at Princess Family Club Bavaro is excellent, especially if you consider the affordable price you pay for this Punta Cana all-inclusive resort and that most of the restaurants and menus got a major upgrade in 2019/2020 when the hotel got fully renovated.

For breakfast, you can choose between two buffets – one at the main plaza very close to all the Princess Family Club Bavaro rooms, the other one at the beach with fantastic views on the Caribbean Sea and one of Punta Canas beautiful beaches. The selection here is outstanding and compared with other all-inclusive resorts in Punta Cana, you have a large kids corner and a lot of healthy food options. There is exclusively outdoor seating available which brings a special tropical feeling to the restaurant.

The main buffet at Grand Bavaro Princess, accessible from Princess Family Club Bavaro

For lunch, you can choose between the exclusive Princess Family Club Bavaro restaurant Mordisco, the main buffet at Grand Bavaro Princess, La Hispaniola, and the beach buffet, El Trapiche. Particularly the location at the beach is amazing and is perfect for a Caribbean lunch on the beach. It doesn’t have the same choices as La Hispaniola, but still enough to guarantee a delicious and diversified meal, particularly taking into consideration that they have live-cooking stations outside as well. They made a super tasty Chop Suey and we saw a good-looking paella as well.

Delicious beachfront food at Grand Bavaro Princess Platinum Club

For dinner, you can choose between 8 a-la-carte restaurants (9 if you include the sports bar menu as well) and the main buffet. As described in our comprehensive Grand Bavaro Princess review, the themed restaurants are worth a visit as they feature (mostly) beautiful decoration, a limited, but very specialized menu and very good chefs. Particularly the Indian restaurant was amazing and is a unique world on its own.

During our stay at Princess Family Club Bavaro, we also dined at the fish and seafood restaurant El Pescador, which offered a selected array of freshly prepared fish, including ceviche, salmon, shrimps and king prawns. Even though the design and ambiance couldn’t compete with the Samsara or Wasabi restaurant or with the sports bar Rebels, but the food was very delicious and included premium ingredients.

In case your kids get hungry outside of the main restaurant opening hours, there is – besides the Princess Family Club Bavaro restaurant Mordisco from 10 am to 4 pm – always the chance to eat at one of the food trucks at the beach or at the Rebels Sports bar, which has a 24 hours snack menu. Considering it is a 24h snack, choices are surprisingly extensive, consisting of all the popular pub food options, such as chicken wings, burgers, nachos, hot dogs, quesadillas, empanadas and much more. There are even salmon sandwiches and various treating desserts available and it comes with a very nice presentation, even though the taste could not fully meet the expectations.

Entertainment and Service at Princess Family Club Bavaro

Rebels Sports Bar is also a great place for your older kids and teens when looking for some entertainment and fun among like-minded guests as there are arcade machines, pinball, pool tables and kickers (table football). All of them can be used free of charge which is not a given in Punta Canas’ all-inclusive resorts.

The sports bar at Grand Bavaro Princess

Obviously, for the younger kids, the water park at Princess Family Club Bavaro is the main gateway for entertainment and fun. There is also a kids club at the resort, typically suitable for kids aged between 4 and 12 years. There is also a smaller kid’s park right at the beach which you can use, in case you’d like to combine a day at the beach or the main pool with some activities for the younger kids. The following photo shows the bigger water park at Princess Family Club Bavaro. Have a look at this article to see more all-inclusive resorts in Punta Cana with a water park.

Furthermore, particularly the teens can participate in the daily activity program of Grand Bavaro Princess, such as beach volleyball, soccer or activities in the water.

During the evening, there are live shows at the main plaza for every age and I am sure the kids will love them no matter what they are about as the ice cream truck is right there every night …

VIP Level / Platinum Section at Princess Family Club Bavaro

Princess Family Club Bavaro doesn’t feature a VIP section, Preferred Club or Platinum Level – all Princess Family Club Bavaro rooms and bookings enjoy the same facilities.

Summary

Planning a family vacation to Punta Cana? This all-inclusive resort could be a great option for you as shown in this Princess Family Club Bavaro review.

We particularly loved the small size of this hotel even though it is part of a larger resort. However, the U-shaped building and the water park exclusively for Princess Family Club Bavaro guests feel like its own little family oasis. Once stepping into the neighboring Grand Bavaro Princess, you have full access to the entire world of restaurants, bars, activities and entertainment options, including some kids’ favorites such as the ice cream truck or the arcade machines at the Sports Bar Rebels.

The suites at Princess Family Club Bavaro are very family-friendly as well, particularly considering the occupancy of up to 5 guests, the bunk beds and the children’s amenities.

Just if you would like to stay very close to the beach Family Club at Grand Bavaro Princess might not be the perfect option, as it is a little distanced from the ocean. In this case, their sister resort Tropical Deluxe Princess might be a better choice. However, the internal trolley helps to cover this distance in around 3 minutes.

Family Club at Grand Bavaro Princess Bavaro is one of the best family all-inclusive resorts if you are looking for a premium yet affordable resort in Punta Cana. Particularly if you want to avoid paying a fortune like for the high-end family hotels in the Dominican Republic but are still looking for a premium option with very modern rooms, a great selection of food and well-elaborated kids’ amenities, Princess Family Club Bavaro might be the perfect option for you.

  1. Hi Chris – The Princess Club or The Finest? 3yo and 4.5yo, 2 adults. One week. Will we get bored at The Finest? The Princess seems a little cheesy/cheap. Mid/Late-December. Thanks!

    1. Hi Lauren,
      I would not call Tropical Princess cheesy but compared to Finest Punta Cana it is indeed at least 2 steps down.
      You can check out Hyatt Ziva (https://www.puntacanatravelblog.com/recommendation/accommodation-hyatt-ziva-cap-cana/) or Club Med Playa Esmeralda (https://www.puntacanatravelblog.com/recommendation/accommodation-club-med-miches/) if you’re looking for some other luxury family all-inclusive resorts.
