We spent 10 days April 27 - May 7th. Resort was ok, however will not return. We arrived to a full resort, however the lions share of visitors were local Dominicans. Unaware that we were arriving on a Dominican long weekend. We found the locals were very rude and dominated the pool, the bars and showed little respect for the... More

Just got back from the Barceló with my husband, we were there from May 3-11. To pretty much sum up our stay at the Barceló...we "made the best of it". I've stayed at numerous Barceló's but this one has got to be the worst, such a shame to the hotel chain. I had read about the warnings here on tripadvisor... More

7 days April 29th-May6th. As always I did not expect the property to be a North American 4star but it was actually clean the food not bad. The beaches are not dirty and the pools seemed to be clean as well no complaints. The only complaint about the room is that the balcony looked at a beautiful path that led... More

Went for 10 days April 27 - May 7. Was a little disappointed, with the rooms, they seemed outdated and lacked TLC. The food at buffet was OK, the Bavarian was terrible, overcooked and very rushed, the Italian was 5 star perfect. When we arrived the hotel was very busy the pool was so full hard to find a chair...

It really is amazing how different your experience can be from other travellers that travelled the same time as us. My husband &I arrived April 9th - 23rd with no expectations after reading previous reviews.

Hotel was every thing you'd expect in an all inclusive hotel; good food, great pool areas and beautiful beach. Staff was amazing! The rooms are close to everything and broken into sections that make easy to find and walk to. Dining area is pristine and the restaurants are really good. Now the bad news, stay away on the weekends-locals come... More

We stayed at the Barcelo Puerto Plata April 19-26. It was reminiscent of a Holiday Inn on the beach with everything ranging from average to good. Nothing really outstanding, but then again, nothing horribly wrong. So it all depends on price. If you can get a very good deal, then this place will give you your money's worth. I'm not... More
