Barcelo Maya Colonial: Wonderful resort

Beautiful grounds with beautiful pools and beach. Very well kept facilities. Meals were all good to excellent as well. Evenings in the rooms were quiet so sleeping was great. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. We will definitely be going back.

Occidental Punta Cana: Beautiful!

The area was really nice, staff made sure the resort was clean day in and out. Huge communication barrier with staff. If you wanted anything fast you were not getting it (front desk, drinks, food at al la cartes). Rooms were absolutely beautiful, the best i have seen on a down south resort. Good mixture of people (babies to the elderly). Small enough to walk around! I would go back to this resort!!

Occidental Punta Cana: Occidental Grand,Punta Cana D.R.

Dissapointed that room requested...Ground Floor, Ocean Front,2 beds,turned in to3rd floor room with 1 king bed.We were promised that we would be moved the next day.An appointment was made for2:00 p.m.Some time later we were contacted and told they would be there at 4:00 o'clock.That time came and went and no one came.We decided we we're' the going to spend our holiday waiting for someone to come .We found out we were far from the only people promised rooms we didn't get. Our Nexus rep did a p [... read more]oor job of informing us about the amenities avalaible to us as first club members.Told us we needed to talk to front desk,about accommodation....no help at all

Barcelo Karmina: Beautiful resort

Food in the main place was very good . The Italian and Mexican was mediocre the Japanese very nice . The pools were wonderful. however there could have been a bus once or twice a day to take you shopping. or exploring. Too long a walk in the heat for older folk. Having been to Mexico many times it would not be my choice with little access to other locations in the area.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Excellent Resort

This hotel is excellent. It is a very large complex with lots to do. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The food is plentiful as are the drinks. The beach is breathtaking. Although, some areas are rocky.

Barcelo Solymar: Great Spot

I really enjoyed this place. They gave me a wonderful room almost on the beachfront, with a gorgeous ocean view and even a Jacuzzi (I booked the Bungalow package). The maid service was great, the bartenders friendly and quick and pouring them strong, and the place clean and well kept. The beach was amazing, the pools clean and the restaurants not too bad (given the overall quality of food in Cuba generally being so-so, it seems) and there was always something fun going on, with the staff lea [... read more]ding it enthusiastic and friendly. It is also a 5 minute walk away from Varadero, and 10 minutes from the Beatles Bar there: a great spot if you like classic rock and a good party. Will definitely visit here again. Thanks for a great stay. It was just what I needed.

Allegro Cozumel: A really nice vacation.

Grounds are impeccable.Food was ok there was always plenty.Staff is incredible.Rooms are small but clean.Not much for nightlife.Beach was nice always a place to sit.pools clean...the staff makes this a nice family resort we met some lovely people...the excursions on the island were fantastic...nice safe clean place...enjoyed this place ..

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Just amazing!

We've just arrived home from a weeks holiday. What a wonderful week it was! Everything was perfect. The staff, the rooms, the food, the beach, the whole environment was just wonderful. We will definitely return!

Occidental Punta Cana: Nice resort

Food needs improvement house keeping is slow. Need more speaking English. The resort is beautiful over all. The beach could be more groomed. I don't think I would go back. The hotel is very nice. The shows were really good. Drinks well you know.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Jungle Gem

Just returned from one week at the Occidental Xcaret. Great room, good food, lots of acres to wander, wonderful staff. No disappointments. Large pools, beautiful lobby and music every evening. This is a great resort for couples or families.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Like going home

This is not our first stay at the Barcelo Palace in Punta Cana. We go there because we need to rest and relax . The rooms are always clean, food always wonderful and the staff are lovely. Next year we will be going back but for longer. We love our Dominican Palace, it's like going home

Allegro Cozumel: Can't wait for our third stay

We came back to the Allegro for a second time and were not disappointed. It's so comforting to return to somewhere familiar. Friendly staff, comfortable rooms, great beach, food variety, fun bartenders, great location.

Occidental Costa Cancun: Cool

Jai vraiment aimer le manger les spectacles et la piscine la plage un peux petite pour la chambre ne prenais jamais chambre 156 tres bruyant a coter du restaurant mais il nous ont changer a un autre so apres supert a plus pour la propreter

Barcelo Karmina: Beautiful Resort!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Barcelona Karmina, the staff were all very helpful and friendly, the waiters/waitresses in buffet and all restaraunts/bars were extremely efficient. The pools: Amazing! We loved them, so pretty and not much of a problem to find chairs (we were a group of 5, so had to move around a bit when needing some shade) we had a lot of fun playing basketball, and the waterslide was actually pretty fast! Had a few laughs with that! The grounds: Beautiful! We lo [... read more]ved walking around and discovering all the little nooks and crannies. The Iguanas that were roaming around were great too, there is one that sits on the bush by the pool nearly every day, looks like he loves the music too! The rooms: We had an ocean view junior suite, very nice but only double beds available if you don't book a king bed. We had 2 adults and 16 year old. Could book a king bed, some of the couches are pullouts, but not overly comfy! The beds were VERY hard, none of us slept that well. Bathrooms are gorgeous and housekeeping was great. Beautiful view from balcony, air conditioning was efficient AND quiet! We paid for wifi, it was really good in the room, made my son very happy!!! The beach: beach is small, but nice. Wear water shoes! Especially if wading around, there are tons of fishes right there, makes for great snorkelling.. but... don't stand on the rocks. I did, and within 10 seconds something took a go at my foot!! Scared the life outta me, but didn't break skin, just a scratchy grab... I still can't believe it LOL The Food: buffet was always good, we were always able to find a full delicious meal. There are 3 restaraunts, Japanese and Italian were best, the agave, while the location is absolutely beautiful wasn't the greatest. It was ok, but felt rushed and food wasn't all that good. (Heard a few people got sick after eating the lobster dinner) A few in our group had little bouts with GI issues, not sure though exactly what the cause of it was.. I ended up extremely sick on the day after we returned to Canada, can't say for sure though what the cause was... Nightly Shows: Ok. Just ok.. we didn't bother after the first one. The entertainers work hard, but just wasn't for us. All in all, we enjoyed our trip immensely, despite the few negatives!

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Something To Do For Everyone

This hotel is amazing. It is very large and entails some walking but my husband, who walks with a cane, found that it was okay. There were several restaurants to dine in and the selection was amazing. We really liked the buffets. The staff was very helpful and went out of there way to assist us with anything we needed. Alfredo and Caesar were great waiters and anticipated anything you needed. The buffet had a different theme each day for dinner (ie. Italian, American, etc). They went  [... read more]out of their way to decorate with balloons, etc. On the American day they had cakes decorated like the American and Canadian flag. I was amazed at how well the children behaved. We hardly knew they were there. The parents were very "hands on" and really enjoyed their time with their children. The room was great. There was an elevator in each section. The bed was comfortable. Water pressure was superb. We had a great person looking after our room. There was a line to hang you wet bathing suits out on the balcony which was handy. There was a double decker bus that ran all the time to take the guests to various areas of the resort - Dolphin show, Mini Golf, Mayan Mall (they don't take cash or debit but take credit cards or if you arrange it, you can charge your purchases to your room) The prices at the mall were fair - much cheaper than the airport - and they didn't harass you to buy from them but let you look at your leisure. They also had a water park. The pool was beautiful. The beach was a bit rocky and when we were there it was fairly rough as it was so windy. We went on an excursion to Cozumel Island and that was enjoyable. Our tour guides were Monti, Nicole and Maria. They were great. Monti was really entertaining and certainly knew his history and information about the flora and fauna of the area. He made the trip very interesting and humorous. We saw a Sea Lion Show and visited Crocodiles. Also, had a tequila tasting visit which was enlightening. Part of the trip involved driving a jeep. A lot of fun! We also went to see the Matis Silver factory. Beautiful items and certainly worth visiting. We met people who had been at this resort several times. One man told me that this was his tenth visit. We would go back again, for sure.

Barcelo Montelimar: Amazing resort

Everything about the resort was amazing. We have no complaints at all. We can't wait to go back!!! The staff was friendly, the views were out of this world. Nicaragua was by far the most beautiful place I've ever been to. The pools were nice and the resort is clean. I would recommend it to anybody. It's paradise!!!

Barcelo Tambor: Very nice resort

The resort was very clean, the rooms cleaned daily and the mini bar refilled. The food was AWFUL.If you like rice with beans or plain rice go to this resort. Every meal was very bland, WE ATE OFF OF THE KIDS BUFFET. We asked for fresh fish for lunch one day and received a processed white fish you would get out of the freezer section at your local grocery store.At the AL-a-cart restaurant we had a hard time making our self's understood because most of the staff could NOT speak English.We would  [... read more]not go back to this resort, it is not a 4 star resort, we would rate it at maybe a 3.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Great vacation

Stayed at the Barcelo Maya Colonial from March 2nd till the 9th. Loved the resort and all it had to offer The place was spotless everywhere and the pools were amazing. There is so much to see and do at the resort that there was no reason to leave, unless you wanted to explore the ruins and other things. This place with the five resorts in one is huge, but we managed to visit them all. We even spent time at the palace. Didn't even know we were there as we thought we were still at the Tropical. Th [... read more]ey just run into each other and no one said a word to us as we ate and drank like everyone else. The place was packed so we had a bit harder time finding chairs at the pool but the beach always had lots of chairs. They even had waitresses at the pools and the beach which, was a nice touch and you did not have to wait long for them appear at all. The staff was extremely hard working and very pleasant to deal with I would go back to this resort in a heart beat. It is far and away the best resort we have been to at this price, and we have been to a lot of them all over the Caribbean and Mexico. I cannot rate this 5 stars because the bathrooms are not any better than average and there were a couple of worms on the bathroom floor every morning. Also the pillows were hard as rocks. I rolled up a bath towel for use as a pillow.

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Room to improve

Check in was very slow. Stayed in line for close to 2h. Wifi not free... very desapointed for a 4+ star resort. Ground was beautiful. Room could be renovated. Beach where beautiful but no umbrella, very desapointed. Buffet could be improved but a la carte was amazing. Paided way to much for a 4 days stay.
