Instead of tropical décor, Hard Rock lined the walls with nifty memorabilia such as Elvis Presley’s custommade, navy blue suit; Madonna’s fluffy bathrobe; and pop art paintings of icons like John Lennon, Santana and Janis Joplin. The rock star theme carries into the huge split-level suites, decorated with photos of classic rock ‘n rollers. They come with a big Jacuzzi at the foot of the bed and an enormous bathroom with a dual-head shower big enough to host a small event. Super fast WiFi and long distance calls to the U.S. are complimentary, as well as the in-room minibar. The resort was specifically designed with big conferences in mind, offering 65,000 sf of meeting space in the attached convention center. The resort features two giant lobbies with one of them solely dedicated to groups, located right next to the convention space. BARCELO BAVARO PALACE DELUXE The property that really established Punta Cana as a group business destination, Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe Resort opened the first standalone Convention Center on the east coast almost a decade ago. With 23 rooms hosting a total of 2,500 delegates, this facility is a true convention center and a favorite venue for groups from around the world. The reason (besides the beach) is because the halls wrapping around the ballrooms have no walls, so you’re surrounded by water, tropical breezes and flowering plants during breaks. In late 2010, the 486-room hotel complex completed a comprehensive renovation that entirely reinvigorated the resort. The 488 full-size suites have jacuzzis on the balconies and a bright contemporary design. Meanwhile, the 582 hotel rooms next to the Convention Center are just minutes from the meeting rooms, and far away from the leisure guests. Most of the amenities have been rebuilt, including four panoramic restaurants right on the beach, and five à la cartes around the property serving Japanese, Mexican, French, Italian and Spanish cuisine. 18 GoDominicanRepublic.com  http://www.GoDominicanRepublic.com
