Occidental Costa Cancun: Wonderful resort

We had a wonderful time at the Occidental Costa, the hotel was spotless in all areas, good food and entertainment, simply the best. The staff were very accommodating and made every day a pleasure we would recommend this hotel. The beach is small but ample as this is not a huge hotel, lovely palm trees on the beach and a fabulous bar. We would love to visit again.

Occidental Punta Cana: Stunning resort

Everything was beautiful! Very helpful staff. We will be back! Plenty of restaurant choices. Great buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The swim up bar was our favorite bar. We loved the snack bar located right above the swim up bar!

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Such a great resort

The resort was amazing! Didn't even have to do any excursions the resort had enough! Great people, food, disco. Only thing that could improve is the ocean (too much seaweed!) I will be going back that's for sure! Thanks

Barcelo Montelimar: Beautiful Resort

The Barceló Montelimar Resort is a beautiful resort. You feel like you are in a rain forest setting without the dampness. The trees are huge and you have a lot of coconut, palm and mango trees with mangos which you can pick, wash and eat. There are so many places you can sit and take in the breeze and it is so nice to take a walk in the morning and the whole day. You can hear the birds chirping and whistling early morning, see the different type of birds/deers/peacocks/parrots etc. The t [... read more]hings my husband and I are disappointed in are the following: Buffet Restaurant are taken over by the locals and there is hardly any food because as soon as the restaurant replenish the trays, it is all gone and we and most of the people on our trip found the locals to be rude as they run in front of you in the line up and take as much food and even more than they can eat and leave it on the table. They are lots of kids and they cry all the time and I personally saw one woman change her kid diaper in the restaurant. The food is the same thing every day for lunch and dinner. At the desert section, the kids put their whole face/head and try to get the ice cream which is a turn off. As for the pool, the locals have their kids in the adult pools and they drink from the bar and pour their drinks in the pools. They even have small kids in the whirlpool. They practically take over all the pools with their kids. There is a kids pool by one of the bars which no one goes to, they all go to the same pool. I would suggest opening up one of the restaurants for tourists and have guards supervise the pools and the restaurants as I have never seen anything like that. We have gone to so many countries in the Caribbean and Mexico and never seen anything like that. I wish they would have some structure. Also, I am disappointed that they do not have free wifi and they system are so dated, they still do everything manually. As for the bar, they just throw they drinks together and add lots of ice. it is not like they mix or blend it and the women serving in the bar looks tired and not pleasant at all

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Very large resort

We found the reception area needs to be better staffed as it's always so busy. That was the only thing but it is the first impression so that's why we felt it was important to mention. We were a bus full of people arriving at the hotel and reception was not fully staffed. We stood in line to get checked in for approx. 20 - 25 minutes to get checked in. People with children were getting as kids were antsy. They did not give out room keys but told us to come back in 30 - 40 minutes to get them [... read more] (that was fine as we went to enjoy a cool drink and a bite to eat). They said it would be fast just handing out the key to us later. About 45 minutes later we went to stand in line again to get the key. Once we got to the front of the line the staff person who was giving out the keys just walked away without saying a word. After a few minutes all of us in line started wondering what happened was he sick, did he go for a break? Finally, we asked a supervisor that was just standing there the whole time if someone was coming back as there was still a line up to get our room key. It was only then that he said something to a staff person and she started handing out the keys. The hotel was clean, we had a very nice room with big bathroom. The hotel grounds were beautiful. We loved the gym and the exercise classes. There was lots of selection at the buffet all the time. The beach was beautiful.

Allegro Cozumel: Great holiday!

The grounds of this resort were very well kept. The rooms were very nice. The thatched roof added an authentic touch. The entertainment that we saw was mediocre. The food was good especially the Italien restaurant. The maid could have cleaned a bit better. I found the floor to be gritty at times. The towels were not always replaced. The beach was good. It would be nice if there was a comfortable place to sit out after dinner to have drinks. We had a great time and I would return here.

Barcelo Montelimar: Beautiful Beach!!

The beach just went on forever! I have honestly never stayed at a resort with so much beautiful beach frontage. You could literally walk for hours. And virtually no one on it. The grounds for this hotel are incredible, extremely well cared for, lush and diverse. The weather at this time of year was perfect. We stayed in the main hotel and were pleased with our room, but as our stay went on, the level of housekeeping we received decreased. At the end we were down to just two well used towels, as [... read more] the ones placed in the tub to replace were just removed and never replaced and no more in room coffee. The food was reasonably good, not a whole lot of variety, but very long line-ups to get lunch and dinner with only one dining area. One of the Canadians staying in the beach houses was broken in to while they were asleep. Very unnerving for them and it seemed as though the hotel didn't really take it very seriously.

Occidental Costa Cancun: Great Resort & staff

It was a good resort small but clean. My mom and i had a great time. The staff were polite and fun. Food was good. Room we're very clean and service was great. The resort had a smaller beach than expected but was very clean. The good side of it is that no matter what time we woke up to go to the beach we always had a chair in the sun or shade. Everything was close together. The only downside for me is that they did not have a Expresso Machine is the lobby only in the buffet so everytime i wante [... read more]d onei had to wait for the Buffet to open. Again it's not a big deal but would be a good idea to add one to the Lobby Bar.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Awesome Resort

Great recreational areas pools and kids club, excellent food and service. Awesome beach... Nice people, good shopping. Close to the airport just 20 min. High recomended for sure we are going to come back!!! Love the Resort

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Nice first time in Punta Cana

Resort met our expectations. Staff was nice and quick to answer. Food was good, lots of choices at every meals but got bored a bit at the end. Beach and pools were awesome. Waiters at the Bambu Bar were the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barcelo Ixtapa: great place to recharge

Clean with lots of room to sit around the pool or beach, great weather and the best waves of anywhere. Staff where really great and very helpful. Rooms were very clean and up to date. TV had 6 channels of English movies for late night viewing.

Occidental Punta Cana: Not a bad little resort!

This was a good choice resort for us because it was our first visit to DR. We were looking for one that wasn't too big and this one fits! Our stay was great...building 26 with room facing ocean was excellent, as was the hot tub on the deck! Grounds were well maintained. Room was clean and spacious. Service was hit and miss, especially in the specialty restaurants. We tried the Mexican, Italian, steakhouse, and seafood restaurants. My favourite was the Mexican. The buffet was good too with many c [... read more]hoices. Even though service was hit and miss, we still tipped because the workers at the resort depend on them to supplement their income.We were in the first club section of the resort and had great service at the bar there. Cruz and Pedro provided excellent friendly service! Check in and check out were a breeze. Common areas of the resort were well kept and I always stopped in the main lobby to smell the Lillies. All in all a great little resort!

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Amazing Resort

Service was first class, beautiful grounds, excellent food and drinks. Beach was long and had some sandy areas and other areas were great for snorkeling. There was lots to do and see. I plan on going back to this resort next year. I shot over 2 1/2 hours of video while I was there. Here is the link to my Youtube channel for anyone that wants to see what the resort has to offer. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvwBR6gk70EVuEefeGx8TO8LtkHn7inEA

Barcelo Karmina: Lovely place!

Lovely pool areas. Should have a slide for adults as well. Food was good. Love the Mexican hot chocolate. Unfortunately, check in was slow and then had to line up again for a la carte reservations as my booking was not on the list at the airport. Staff was friendly most areas but the lobby front desk. The young men working were slow and not too helpful. Beach area was a bit disappointing with harsh sand/mini rocks and small. We had a basic Junior Deluxe Suite was large and well kept. No vi [... read more]ew but not there to stay in the room. Evening shows were a little lack lustre. The piano player was superb in the lobby.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Nice Resort

My wife and I were at the beach side of the resort from March 20-28, 2017. We really enjoyed our time here and there's lots of good things about the resort. Most of the staff were great, but some grumpy. Most of the restaurants were also good. However we did not enjoy the Spanish restaurant as they took excessively long time to serve our dinner and check on us. We had problems with our room as we had booked a ground level beach front premium room. Knowing this the premium registration desk put u [... read more]s into a second floor non premium room. They did put us into the proper room after we spoke up about it. After getting our room we had to get hotel maintenance to fix the hot water and the TV. Also the staff were very loud first thing in the morning waking us up several days in a row. So while there's lots of enjoyable aspects to this resort, we would not go back to this one. Also being a first time Trip Advisor client, my wife and I did not get any of the vouchers we should have had for our trip beforehand. It was only from a lengthy phone call a day or two before our trip we learned of the proper connection for our shuttle bus to the hotel. Also our voucher(s) for additional services (on-site hotel services) that was part of our pre-paid package was never given to us. We have enjoyed many all inclusives before but we felt like Tripcentral just doesnt connect all the dots as well as our past holidays with other providers. Still, we enjoyed our trip, the location and most everything was very enjoyable.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Great Vacation

Barcelo Bavaro Beach - great complex, wonderful pool, beautiful beach, lots of chairs, all restaurants at both locations wonderful, people working are the best so polite and helpful. one issue is the wi fi issue my wife would only return if the wi fi issue was to improve, i kind of agree we have been to many places around the globe, this was by far the worst for wi fi service example in Korea there is no charge and wi fi is available everywhere even here in our home town it is very accessible [... read more]. The rate at which is charged is way too much and it still isn't any good. Hopefully in time this does improve and the service is provided at no cost.

Barcelo Huatulco: Everything you could ask for

Beautiful small resort has everything you could ask for. Staff really makes a huge effort to please. Nightly entertainment was very good and always different. Make your purchases from the local shops at there is very little at the airport duty free.

Occidental Costa Cancun: Nice resort

Very nice resort. Very clean and lots of friendly servers and staff. Buffets provided lots of varity and good food. Restaurants service was great but food could have been better. Beach was clean and well taken care of. Lots of activities and the night shows were great.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Amazing beautiful resort

Excellent food, very clean, friendly staff, beautiful gardens and great beach. The weather was perfect, couldn't of asked for a better vacation. Will be returning with the rest of the family one day. The resort is big takes awhile to figure out your way around, but worth exploring.
