I have been to a lot of other resorts this one had everything I was looking for. everything is close so you don't have to walk miles to get around. We paid an extra 100 bucks each and got the VIP package/Jr Suite, well worth every penny. my 2 other friends got regular rooms and they were nothing compared to... more

This was our second stay at the Dominican Beach and we opted for the Elite Club which I would recommend to anyone planning a trip to the Dominican. As per our first visit, we had a lovely spa suite on the ground floor directly on the beach. Ocean breezes every night with the sound of the surf on the beach... more

The Barcelo Dominican Beach is by far our worst experience in Punta Cana. Do not go there. Ask yourself how much money can one save on completely wasted vacations. My wife and I are experienced travelers. It was our eleventh trip to Punta Cana. The problem was food. It seems to be a sickening combination of unsanitary conditions and poor... more

4 of us (2 couples) stayed at Barcelo Dominican from Nov 28-Dec 5/09. This place is worth every penny. I don't know who is writing these negative reviews and what their expectations are. If you want 5 star...book a 5 star! This is not a 5 star...but we stayed at Gran Bahia Principe last January and we loved this resort... more

Upon arrival, except for the bell boy, who put our luggage to the side of the main entrance, nobody paid any attention to us. no greeters at all unlike the Melia, or Palladium, or Rui ,or Princess hotels that we patronized on our previous trips. We arrived at high noon, but the main lobby doesn't look clean. The chandelier at... more

Needless to say things and pass the information because the hardships that go some, others may avoid having the proper information. I will talk about the hardship we live in a group of friends and I in the Dominican Bavaro Beach Resort in the world-famous chain Barceló Hotels. We paid a VIP package course via a Tour Operator (Everest Tours),... more
