Sunscape Puerto Plata: Not what we expected

Food was decent, people were nice, but the resort was pretty run down and they allow locals to fill the vacant rooms on the weekends. The pool was filthy and we found ourselves very annoyed by the locals on the beach and outside the compound. All the Dominicans expect money from you regardless of the service being provided. I would not return to this resort.

Occidental Caribe: We were very happy with the resort

we arrived very late due to delays when we got there everyone was tired we were travelling with two small children we were to have 2 rooms side by side they gave us rooms one on one end of the hotel and one on the other but the next mourning everything was straightened out and the trip was perfect the kids got lots to eat they loved the beach and pools our 5 years granddaughter even went snorkelling on one of day trip she had a great time she tells everyone we loved our stay good food beautiful  [... read more]beach nice people.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Very nice resort

Overall the facility was well kept. The rooms need some work but they are spacious. The beach had numerous lounge chairs and the pool was clean. The food was very good at the restaurants as well as the buffet. The staff was friendly.

Sunscape Puerto Plata: AN ""OK"" HOTEL FOR WAHT YOU PAY

THE HOTEL IS ALRIGHT. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THEIR BUFFET AREA...NOT THE SEATING AREA, BUT THE AREA WHERE THE BUFFET FOOD IS EXPOSED...IT IS WAY TOO SMALL. PEOPLE ARE BUMPING INTO EACH OTHER. REASON WHY WE DID NOT GO BACK.ALSO,I ASKED FOR PRESTIGE CLASS AND GOT NO BENEFIT FROM IT. I WENT BECAUSE THE PRICE WAS GOOD..ONLY BECAUSE OF THE PRICE. IF PRICE WERE HIGHER I WOULD GO ELSEWHERE. SO IF PRICE IS KEPT LOW, I WOULD CONTINUE TO GO.

Occidental Caribe: Beautiful resort

My stay was perfect. The staff memebers are curtius and friendly. The beach is clean and beautiful. The pools are amazing. The food was fantastic. I recommend all the restaurants. Enjoyed every minute of my stay.

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Amazing.

Very nice huge resort with beautiful long beach with palm trees, so you don’t need to fight for spots with a bit of the shade. Hotel is very well mainted. Plenty of spaces to stroll among beautiful Mayan sculptures. Food, staff, night entertiment-excellent. The best splash pad for kids we have seen so far. Good snorkelling spot at the right side of the beach. Cenotes to see, are right across the hotel. We highly recommend this resort.

Barcelo Solymar: Great Family Trip

My husband and the 2 kids had an amazing time at this resort. The grounds were spacious leaving enough room for the kids to run around. Variety of food for everyone and a beautiful beach. A great trip!

Barcelo Solymar: Excellent hotel

We were all so happy and satisfied that everyone wants to come back. The restaurant's menu has improved from our last visit two years ago, I noticed more variety. The rooms have large TV screens on the wall, and everything was clean and neat. We had nothing to complain about. It was a truly enjoyable stay and we're definitely coming back!

Sunscape Puerto Plata: Great holiday at the Barcelo!”

We spent 2 weeks at the Barceló and it was great! The food was very good - lots of different fruits even mangos (my favorite) and the service was excellent - couldn't ask for more - the waiters are very attentive and we enjoyed having a coffee pot left at our table at breakfast. Our room was clean and spacious with a king-size bed which is what we asked for. The a la carte restaurants were very good, especially the Brazilian and the Japanese. It was somewhat complicated to reserve though - sho [... read more]uld be allowed to reserve for the week like most hotels do - don't want to have to line-up for quite a long time on my holidays. The staff at the reservations were not very efficient - answered a ringing telephone every few minutes while the line grew and grew. (whose phoning anyway? - can't reserve a-la carte restaurant by phone) We've been at the Playa Dorada beach before and we love it. Very good snorkeling off the beach and the beach is very long for walking. The time-share venders are not so annoying in front of this hotel - unlike the Blue Bay on the right and the Grand Paradise on the left - they are most annoying there. The entertainment at night was good - we like to dance so there was a band that played early until 9pm ever night - we would have preferred them to play until 10pm and skip the games at 9pm - very boring unless you're part of them and very few people are - I always wonder how many people like those games - the place sure empties when they start. But all in all this was a great vacation and we will definitely return to the Barceló! Stayed March 2014, travelled as a couple

Barcelo Solymar: close to everything in Varadero

nice having two resorts in one, more choices in activities and food. Beach is fantastic and staff are amazing with big smiles to welcome you and inform you. Just a ten minute walk and your in Varadero, very convenient.

Occidental Caribe: Good value for money!

The food and service staff were awesome. The hotel was in pretty good repair. The tour provider site promised some 'extras' with the Prestige booking that we didn't get (robe and slippers in room) but overall it was very very good.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Great Vacation Spot!

Very clean facility. Staff was friendly and helpful. Plenty of seating at pool area and lots of fun activities. Plenty of variety at restaurant buffets. Beach was well groomed. Be sure to book water activities early.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Amazing vacation

We were there in march for a week and it was an absolute amazing trip. The resort was great. The grounds were extremely clean, the staff was friendly, there were always chairs by the pool, the food was great. I can't say anything bad about the resort at all.

Sunscape Puerto Plata: 2014 Holiday In The Sun

We had a room near the beach and loved the easy access. Great sand and beach area. Lots of shade available when needed. The pools were great as one worked for the younger crowd and we enjoyed the quieter pool up by the main entrance. Lots of chairs available and pool was great. The food was plentiful and we enjoyed most meals. Weather was great and staff very accomodating. We would recomment this hotel as the price was right and we weren't dissapointed with the trip at all.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: very nice resort

adults only section was very nice room was great, service was very good , casino was fun. the golf was great for my husband and son in law . the weather was sunny every day and will probably return to this resort. feel specia

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Awesome resort!!

We had a great time. This resort had something for everyone. We really liked having the dolphins right there to go see as often as we wanted. The rooms were very clean, the staff fantastic and the food was great. I would certainly go back and recommend it to all!!!

Barcelo Ixtapa: Wonderful hotel

This was one of our favorite holidays. The hotel, the staff and the location were all top notch.we enjoyed the entertainment every night and being able to take a bus into town. We would highly recommend this hotel chain.

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: What's not to like about Barcelo Hotels?

This resort is out of the way, yet a cheap cab ride to the Romantic District.I had a suite with a large terrace overlooking the pool and the ocean. Great guests and staff a like. Lots of poolside activities for all ages .Walk down the beach and have refreshments with the locals.The night time entertainment does run a bit late and the buffet is limited due to small size of the hotel but the views and proximity to the ocean more than make up for it. I am no stranger to Barcelo Hotels and this one  [... read more]is high on my list.
