No Real Complaints

We stayed in the Jr Suites in block 6 and for,the extra cost it was worth it. The room was a bit dated and could you some upkeep ,ie. Shower rusty and couch looks old. The bed was comfy and room kept clean. The grounds were well cared for. The beach was nice and they tried to keep up with the seaweed that would float in. The resort was busy when we where there so had to make sure to reserve some beach chairs. The buffet was ok and we had no stomach troubles, although made sure to use the bottled [... read more] water in our room for brushing our teeth as well. Security watches the beach and keeps an eye out on the rooms. We had stopped by our room to pick up something and the door didn't shut completely within a few minutes there was a knock and the security guard was checking to make sure all was okay. All in all had a good time and no issues.

Not bad, but would not go back

We stayed at this hotel from Feb 17- 24, it was not a terrible place, however I will not be back at this resort. When we originally booked it was a 4 star hotel and before we arrived it had changed to a 3 star. The Beach was amazing, lots of chairs at the beach and the pool. Food - was pretty average at the A la Carte and the buffets Bars- Every time you ordered a drink you were not sure what you would be getting, I ordered the drink special of the day and pointed to the picture and they still c [... read more]ouldn't get it right. However if you go to the Casino Bar Calvin was a very good bartender, made excellent drinks and his service was fantastic! Cleanliness - Cock Roaches in rooms, and they fumigated and said it wasn't harmful and we could stay in our rooms. When we got our room cleaned it would always be around dinner time, and we would never get enough towels. However the house keeping staff were very nice but spoke barely any English. The Resort Grounds - Were well kept and they were always fixing something. We were not bugged to much on the beach for locals selling stuff. Pools - were not the cleanest Not that you go down south to play on the internet however the WIFI you pay for barely worked while you were in the lobby.

Barcelo Dominican Beach February 2015

Beautiful beach however when we stayed at the hotel they were at 106 capacity and over booked. This meant having to line up for the buffet, lines for bathrooms, not enough seats on the beach, by the pool and in the lobby in the evening. Our room had a leaky ceiling in the bathroom. Management said that they fixed the problem however the whole duration of our stay there daily was a puddle of water left from the dripping ceiling. Additionally our room had cockroaches. I would not return to this ho [... read more]tel. Few of the staff provided excellent service. The quality of the drinks being served was poor. The hotel is run down. There is no free wifi. We were provided with a hospitality room before leaving to the airport which had not been cleaned and was full of wet towels from previous guests. I will not return to Barcelo Dominican Beach.

Dominican beach

Rooms and hot water( lack of) need improvement. Paid 30$ US for the worst WiFi ever. 2 minuet walk and got excellent wifi for FREE. The pathways are a stamped concrete and hard to walk on. The English translation at buffet needs to be reviewed by someone fluent in English / Spanish.

Great Resort

Awesome value! Excellent service. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The resort has something for everyone. A beautiful beach, 4 pools, 2 buffets, unlimited a la carte's, 24 hour bar and snack bar.

Punta Cana -Good Times.

Resort is above average. Staff is great! Rooms...clean but low water pressure. Grounds very well kept and maintained. Food was better than expected. Buffets were good buffets. (lots of selection) Ala Carts...some were very good/some very bad. No Canadian Whiskey on site. (bummer but not a deal breaker). Beach issues with seaweed rolling in. Out of the resort's control but they worked hard daily to clean it up. Pools were a great alternative. Felt safe and comfortable to whole time.

Nice vacation at Barcelo Dominican Beach

Hi to every one! My wife and I just returned from Barceló Dominican Beach, Punta Cana D.R. It’s a nice resort. Thanks to the management. Apparently they hire good people and train them well. First of all we really appreciate the security – no intruders on the property. No beggars, no beach vendors, more over – even no Vacation Club agents. Thank you gentlemen again. That was a nice stay. Our room was Honey Moon Ocean Front suite – no comments. Just a few things: clean, the beach and the [... read more] beach bar just under our balcony, Jacuzzi with the ocean view indeed and a nice maid service. Dominga Brito was one of them. She was and I believe still is very good. The garden crew is good. The beach and swimming pool are nice and carefully groomed. Even though a night storm once left the garden crew a lot of work to remove the sea weeds washed up on the beach that night. But the guys did it. The bar crew is amazing and very friendly. Santa, Claudio, Brilon, Enso Luis are very good and apparently the youngest of them Alexander is a really hard working boy probably he will become a manager at some time in the future ‘cause as his colleges he knows already how to work properly. There is another guy and a very good one but unfortunately I can’t tell his name. Sorry. Speaking about the bars we’ll never forget Ricardo from the Lobby bar. He is a professional. But Ricardo please tell your co-worker (don’t know his name) when one asks for a glass of Napoleon the bartender should not offer any ice. Now a few words about Barle Café that my wife and I highly recommend. To our eyes we used to get there the best dessert after our dinners. Ask Anibelis and Bethania for Carribiano coffee it is not only tasty but the way they cook it is a little and exciting entertainment! Food in general is very good to our eyes. The only remark in our opinion deserves perhaps only the egg station. For example my breakfast consists only from eggs, some cheese and a bit of cooked ham nothing else. That’s why I am especially anxious to the way my eggs cooked. If I ask for three eggs sunny side up the egg specialist may not piled them onto my plate anyhow as the yolks must not be ruined this way by his negligence. If it easy over the yolks must not be tremendously overcooked! It is important! A real professional (and a consumer) may cry seeing that. Though it’s a trifle the rest is perfect. The staff is very friendly. Our special thanks to Anna Maria – main buffet, to senior Daniel Barga from the grill bar at the beach that gentleman perfectly took care of us even late after the midnight. There are some a la carte restaurants. We regret not visiting a Spanish one that was our own fault. But we enjoyed Mexican and Brazilian a lot. The snack bar at the beach completely satisfied our lunch needs. What not to like? The night’s entertainment are beautiful. The animation crew are hardworking guys even though we didn’t take part in it but yet it is always fun to watch other people dancing on the beach or doing some other activities. We had a nice socializing with many people from the States, Canada, Switzerland, France, Germany and some East European countries (my wife and I we do speak languages). That was a pleasure as well. It was a nice stay (our fourth time in D.R. and number 11 on Caribbean in total) my wife and I will recommend this resort to our friends and our fellow tourist in general. Thank you ladies and gentlemen.

I recommended

Realy nice a+ very friendly lots of entertement and food and bars all good very excellent service I would recommend to my friends very clean and the food was good lots of good service ????????????????

Nice resort but....

We were in Punta Cana in late August at the Barcelo Beach. Unfortunately, there was a lot of algea on the beach and cleaning up by staff was not very fast and thourough. The buffet is more or less average and food is just fair. The a la carte restaurant required reservation only 1 day in advance and all have to be made at the desk (not allowed by phone). The italian resto was by far the best, the brazilian is mostly for canivores since there is so much meat and very little garnish to go with it. [... read more] Night Entertainment was rather simple and a lot of karioke pretenders singing

Barcelo hotel

Clean resort. Restaurants was just average, buffet was much better. Bar not as friendly as expected . Bar not all drink were included. Rooms were clean and good size. Pools were clean and always some places available. Beach was big and great.

Not returning

My wife and I have been to a couple resorts. This is not one we would go back to. A friend from her work went here before and raved about it. Our room - Bathroom door wouldn't close, bathroom ceiling falling down, No hot water, Flusher on toilet didn't work properly, sliding patio door was very difficult to close and lock, smell in the room (all of these problems were brought to front desk and guy came to fix but nothing was done). Food - OK. Service - most were very helpful. Beach - EXCELLENT!!

Nice resort for the price

The resort and beach are very beautiful. The grounds are always kept up nice. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The only downfall is the food - a lot of it was undercooked I.e. eggs/omelettes, meat and seafood on theme night.
