Barcelo Dominican Beach - All Inclusive

THis was one of the most worse experiences I ever had the room stunk no water no towels I had to change will never ever do this again

All I can say about this place is that they have nice beaches. The people working at the resort werent nice at all. All they wanted was money for tips and they would even ask for their tip. There barley was any nightlife, mostly boring nights.

I stayed at this resort back in March i was there for a whole week for my Honeymoon. I have traveled to many different countries and have never experienced something like this. The STAFF was soooo RUDE, The FOOD was HORRIBLE, THE POOL WAS Small... THE ROOM WAS HUMID AND THE AC WAS LEAKING. NOT HOW I WANTED TO SPEND MY HONEYMOON. I COMPLAINED TO THE STAFF and all THEY SAID I SUGGEST YOU UPGRADE TO A BETTER ROOM.... SO WE PAID AN EXTRA 200.00 DOLLARS TO UPGRADE.... WHEN WE GO TO OUR NEW ROOM IT LOOKED NICE AND SPACIOUS... THEY HAD AN AC LEAK IN THAT ROOM AND FOUR OF OUR LIGHTS DIDNT WORK.... LONG Story short i WOULD NEVER go back to This Resort OR the DOMINICAN. I DEF. WOULD'NT RECOMMEND ANYBODY TO STAY THERE.

This hotel is the absolute worse!! The rooms need to be updated, they smell like mildew, the bed was gross and uncomfortable. The food was disgusting I would not feed it to my dog!! We had to make reservations at the specialty restaurants. There was a live turkey in the dining area,...not too mention that little black birds were able to pick from the uncovered food. The buffet offered little variety and the food was bland. As far as the staff, they spoke very little English. The only good thing was the spa visit. Overall I wouldn't recommend this hotel. And the entertainment staff is not friendly at all.

I was very disappointed with my experience at the Barcelona Dominican Beach stay. I used to stay at Barcelo Playa Langosta in Costa Rica when I was younger with my family and remembered a very pleasant, clean, and fun environment. This lead me to suggest it to 7 of my colleagues and we took a 4 day quick trip to Punta Cana. As soon as we got there the problems started. The check in was unnecessarily complicated and difficult. Once we got to the room, the bathroom door would not close, the AC unit leaked water on you which was directly on top of the toilette which meant you couldn't use the toilette without getting a healthy dose of chemical water dripping on you. The comforters seemed to have been there since the 80s and the towels where all stained and not replaced regularly. Forget about getting towels for the beach, those were impossible to get. Service was inconsistent, some employees were very friendly, happy, and enjoyable, but on that same not, some were very rude, unprofessional, and told some of my colleagues they should speak Spanish because we were in Dominican Republic. But the worst thing I must say was the food. Uneatable! Very unfortunate to have to say all these negative comments on a hotel chain I believed to be of quality but will never recommend or stay in again.

staff are not friendly at all. food is horrible with a lot of flies and bees all over food. variety of food is terrible mostly hamburger and hot dog, chicken were bloody. The beach is very dirty. we have been in different resorts and this one is the worst of the worst. They claim the resort is all inclusive but they ask you to pay for a lot of things. the room's refrigerator have only one soda and one water, beer are not allowed.VIP transportation are not reliable. Never again, Horrible vacation.

This hotel is not worth your money. The rooms were plain, nothing fancy but it was fine. However we did not have hot water and the bathroom door would not shut without being slammed. Our slider door also did not lock. Upon returning from an all-day excursion, we found that there were no towels left in the room. We called and had to wait over 30 minutes for them to be delivered. The food was absolutely HORRIBLE. The buffets were constantly covered in flies. For breakfast, they barely served any breakfast foods. Instead it was salads, chicken, pasta, etc. Lunch was decent but pizza ran out quickly and burgers did not look appetizing. If you want to snack it is almost impossible as nothing stays open. The store sells some snacks, but it is very expensive. You have to make a reservation for the restaurants but they fill up too quickly. The Japanese place was amazing but impossible to reserve, you have to wait until 9:30p and hope you can eat. All of the other places have very limited menus and do not allow substitutions of any kind. The beach was okay. It gets really crowded and hard to get a chair. The chairs are old and the newer ones do not recline. You cannot lay on your stomach since none of them go all the way back. The beach is also covered in seaweed and the water is not clear at all. When you check in they give you a towel card which you bring to the ONE place to get a towel which is at the far end of the beach. They almost never have towels there and you can't get a new one between 9a-12p each day. We were left with soaked smelly towels and had to buy one in the shop for $20. The pool was decent, but packed. There is also no shade anywhere. The staff were okay, some very helpful people, especially at reception. The guest services were of no use and could not help. The entertainment was pretty good, if a little repetitive. There is also not much to do at night time. Overall you can find a MUCH better hotel than this. It is also a huge destination for European and Russian travelers so there were not a lot of fellow American travelers.

The first day was OK. The next day the air condition was not working. I asked that I wanted my room changed OK. The new room the TV was not working and I didn't have a phone.Two days later they came to fix the TV and connect the phone. The Italian restaurant didn't know what were mozzarella stick. The grounds are will maintain. The buffet was good. The Brazilian restaurant the chicken was good but the beef was horrible. The beds were hard as a rock. The activities were good.This was the third time going to DR. The other two times were great.

My family a group of 23 stayed at this so called "resort". On the first night my parents door card reader did not work. After a few times of calling the front desk they finally sent some one to fix it. The next day it was not working again. Our freinds shower did not work so a plumber had to fix it. Also 2 weeks before the trip he had surgery to replace his defebrillator, we requested a room on the first floor so they gave him the third floor.Mind you that there is no elevator. They kept saying they were going to move him but it never happened. In fact a security guard had to help him up the stairs one night because of short breath. My aunts room air conditioner broke on our third day there so she had to pack her stuff and change rooms. On the website it states that wifi is included well that was bull. The cost was 3 dollars for every 15 minutes. I do not recommened any one to stay at this hotel.

manque de parasols à la plage et en nombre trop limite à la piscine.
