I made reservations 1 month ahead of time. Arrived June27 and had to wait to be check-in about two hours--room was not ready. Local tour bus had arrived and they were handling them.

Booked on seat sale for Premium service which was useful, particularly for express check in.

My husband and I stayed at Barcelo Puerto Plata from June 4-11/09. All the tips and advice from the Tripadvisor reviews and forum were very helpful and worth reading/reviewing. We travelled from Toronto with Air Transat. The plane stops over in Holguin, Cuba for ~1 hr or so but is a direct flight coming home. The return flight was delayed... more
