My husband and I just spent a week at the Barcelo Capella Beach Resort in Santo Domingo. As with any vacation, there were good things and bad, but we were happy to experience more good than bad. The property was beautiful! The rooms were a ittle run down, but still offered a nice place to relax and sleep after a... more

We stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday and had a wonderful time, there's something for everyone. The beach is gorgeous, discoteque is happening until the wee hours, and nice selection of food at each buffet. Resort is HUGE and enough to keep you occupied without having to leave. Many day trips are available, definitely take the bus or pay for a... more

Beautiful place! Very relaxing. I was so glad i got advice from these boards before we went. Like knowing the locals come on the weekend. They mostly stay at the pool by beach, so it is very full and the buffet is very crowded. Thats just Sat & Sun. Not very many people speak English but you can get by.... more

Me and my husband stayed at Barcelo from May 25th till June 2nd. We went there with another couple. We really liked the resort. The swimming pool by the Bohio restaurant is great!! The other swimming pool (close to the beach) is usually crowded. The beach is beautiful, but if you planning to go there bring SWIMMING SHOES with you,... more

There is good... more

Due to the Swine Flu Outbreak in Cancun my daughter & I changed destinations and ended up staying at the Barcelo Capella in DR. We normally stay at 5 Star resorts and only decided on this property due to short notice. The grounds are nice the beach is ok. The beds are made up with very cheap white sheets, very... more

This resort has a strange mix of friendly and not so friendly employees. The food is adequate, there is always something to eat. The rooms have a strong smell of mildew and the air conditioning unit was marginal. There were a few bugs here and there, normal stuff in the D.R.. The shows in the evening were fun and energetic.... more

Being in beautiful DR was exciting on it's own. All that excitement ended when we checked in at this "resort". Checking in took more than two full hours and people that were behind our group happened to have priority- I guess is who you know! So we get into our room and the smell was unbearable-althought the service staff was... more
