“The Boston 10 Punta Cana October 2012”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

This was my first time doing an all inclusive vacation. This place was just amazing. The Premium Club was value added. For a few extra dollars, we were treated like royalty. VIP room at the disco, excellent dinners at the French restaurant, and daily hydrotherapy at the spa. Best of all though was the staff at the Premium Club Lounge. They attended to our every desire.
When our flights were cancelled because of Hurricane Sandy, Joanna and Aracelis were our Dominican girls they went above and beyond their job and ensured that our vacation remained stress-free and helped us make new arrangements. They made our vacation relaxing and very special. I would definately go back if anything to just see them. Thank You very much for making my vacation and excellent one.

Room Tip: choose the Club Premium for a few more dollars its worth it!

“exceptional vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

We vacationed with two other couples at the Barcelo Bravaro Beach adults only part of the resort. The whole vacation was exceptional!! We couldn't have asked for better service from the entire staff at the hotel. the lobby bar was also a good place to enjoy a cocktail with bartender Jose Arno and waitress Alexandra Santiago. I would highly recommend this resort as far as value, cleanliness and service

“If you're from the US you should stay home”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

The hotel grounds were expansive. There were 6 Barcelo properties grouped together on one plot of land. You needed to take a shuttle to get around. The more expensive the room you stayed in, the closer you were to the beach. The food was fair (comparable to cafeteria food) The alcohol was no-name brand, unless you wanted to pay some extra $$ for a drink. The majority of the people employeed did not understand, nor care to understand English.By this I mean, they did not seem interested in addressing any questions or needs we might have voiced. The larger portion of the guest were from everywhere except the United States. I did not hear too much English being spoken, except for Canadian and British.We were permitted to make 3 reservations for a week long vacation. The restaurants were just fair. I would never, ever, ever stay at a Barcelo property again. This is a very poorly run operation. I would have been better served had I returned to any of the other hotels that I had visited while in Punta Cana in the past. Pass this place, if you are wise.

Room Tip: If you want a good room, stay at another establishment.
