Bavaro is an area in Punta Cana, located in La Altagracia province, Dominican Republic. While Punta Cana was built as an area for tourists, Bavaro was developed as a home for the resort workers and their families. Over the years, as hotels started to rise along the east coast, north of Punta Cana, Bavaro itself became a tourist area. There are numerous hotels in Bavaro, the oldest and most historic one is called Barcelo. There's also a shopping mall, as well as various other facilities, such as gift shops, bars, restaurants, the Mangu and Areito discothèques, and a White Sands golf course.
