Beautiful resort with stunning beach and wonderful pools. We arrived during an evening rain storm, check-in was quick but if felt like forever to walk to our room, thank goodness they have quite wide covered walkways. The resort has several a la carte restaurants, very nice variety but no consistency to the meals (example: Menu read steak with mashed potatoes...... More

As others have mentioned the resort is beautiful!!! Yes not many spoke English but we knew that before going so no big deal..... We did notice not all employees were super friendly but again no big deal, avoid those individuals, then you won't have to deal with it! My only major complaint was that out of a group of 12... More

Let me start by saying to please IGNORE all the negative reviews you see on here. I dont know where those people stayed. We arrived to check in and were immediately handed a nice fruity drink. We traveled with another couple so we asked to have two rooms together, in an updated room near the beach. We then went over... More

I was VERY concerned abouty traveling here after reading reviews. We spent 6 days and 5 nights and it was wonderful! Resort is immaculate. Very large. Beaches are incredible. Staff was not over friendly, but didn't encounter anyone rude. Had no problems with language barrier. If you want all english speaking.. go to hawaii!! Hola, gracias and you are fine.... More

Punta Cana is a beautiful place to visit!!

When we finally checked in we had to wait until 3 to actually get our room. Our... More

After reading recent reviews, I became a bit worried about our May 13-19 trip to Barcelo Palace. We just returned and am wondering what is wrong with people. The place was immaculate. The buffet food was varied and good. The people were hospitable and accommodating. We stayed in building 8 between the golf course and main building. My husband is... More

The hotel was beautiful it was clean and well kept. The food was delicious and of great quality. The staff was not the best kinda rude,but they are irrelevant non factors. Besides that it was the best place I've ever been to. Planning my next vacation already!!!!

The grounds were beautiful and spacious. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, but not from but none of them offered anything memorable. The price was right and were with a group of teenagers. So this was a great place for the group. Disco: Lots of techno music. Casino: good. Beds: very comfortable. Again, only complaint was the food since s=it... More
