Barcelo Maya Tropical: Great resort

First time visitors....lovely resort. Beautiful landscaping and the staff was top notch ! Cons...entertainment ...asides from aqua aerobics , the pool area was very dull....elevator music and Disney songs. Drinks veeeery weak....I'm a lightweight and didn't even catch a buzz. Would go back again...the pros outweighed the cons..BUT will bring my own rum to top up my drink :0)

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Great value

All in all great resort with a wonderful location offering lots of different decent food and entertainment options. Not sure if you could find a better resort for the price in the Dominican therefore I strongly recommend it.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Bacelo hotel in Dominican Republic

We stayed here for 4 days . It was our 1st time travel. The beach the pool was nice and we felt safe while we here. The hotel room wasn't big and so dark. We couldn't sleep and relax because the staffs started to clean and maintain the garden area by 8am( it was so annoying). The food is ok to eat( no coconut serve for free and no seafood at well even we went to seafood restaurants). For the hotel, they was scam us with the late check out for $60USD which unnoticed and made us upset a lot. I do [... read more]nt think we will come back here again in thr future.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Great week!

Eliana Anton from Trip Central got a good package for us three. Looking to play golf , we had to deal with afternoon reservations but we had a great time. ( not necessarily if we speak about golf performances but it is another story ! )

Occidental Punta Cana: Great time at this resort!

Beautiful beach with palm trees that offered enough shade for us. Very nice shaped pools with various degrees of depth. Amazing animacion team. Nice grounds, lobby, buffet food - but no bacon during our stay, lol. Live music in the lobby in the afternoons. The negative reviews didn't materialize for us, except, maybe, for one thing - waiting staff could be more hospitable, but eventually we found pleasant people and we stuck with those. I think I would want to come back to this resort. For the [... read more] price that we paid - we had an amazing time :)

Occidental Papagayo: Amazing Resort!

This hotel was great! My first time here. It was recommended by a friend. The grounds were beautiful. I loved all the wild life on this resort. My room was large and clean. Housekeeping did an awesome job everyday. Except for replenishing my alcohol in the minifridge and replacing the coffee in my room. When I first arrived my safe was not in working order and I had to call twice and wait two hours for two people to finally fix it. The food was awesome! The excursions i did were so fun and infor [... read more]mative. I would definately recommend this resort and I will definitely be coming back for sure.

Occidental Papagayo: Exceeded Our Expectations

The grounds, although hilly, are beautiful. Glad there was a shuttle available to get from point A to point B. Staff all had smiles even though they were running their feet off. Our needs were met throughout the week. Very clean & lush resort with many great views of the bay. Very few people on the beach. Had a marvellous massage from Maria on the beach. On The Beach Tours had very appealing options to explore the area. They have a desk in the lobby. We booked a private Catamaran for 4 hours for [... read more] 11 people that was well run and informative by Executive Tours. Tasty snacks and wide range of cocktails, beer, etc. Snorkeled in a calm bay and visited a remote beach. Lots of shade on the Cat if you wanted it. Buffet was pretty good overall. A la carte choices included Asian and Italian 4 course selections. The beef was amazing! Drinks from the bars did their job! If it isn't strong enough, just ask for "mucho rum". At night it was essential to keep the patio door locked to avoid raccoons from opening the door to check for food inside your room. A little unnerving at first. Iguanas, monkeys, birds through the property.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: very nice resort

Barcelo Maya Colonial: The Barcelo#1

What an experience The Barcelo was highly recommend taking a trip there! The resort was very clean the staff was extremely friendly and the resort was up to date and impeccable! Highly recommend taking making it your next vacation destination

Occidental Caribe: An O.K hotel!

Amazing beach! The room was not the best and all elevators were not working but I was so happy with the beach I didn't care about the room or anything else. Service at the hotel and restaurants are good. Food was good but I wish there were more vegetables offered.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Beautiful Resort

The resort is beautiful the grounds and rooms are amazing the only problem is the food is not tasty the staff at the restaurant ignore you if you are not Spanish speaking and the staff in the buffet area and a la carts don’t speak any English also they also had an international night where they did dancing from Dominican from Spain from Brazil from the USA but nothing from canada I guess it’s a small world

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Barcelo resorts were amazing!!

The hotels, all 5 of them were clean and lovely! Staff worked so hard and almost of them were very helpful and friendly. I'd definitely recommend to anyone. So much to do . Never a dull moment. 5 STARS BARCELO 🌟

Barcelo Solymar: Stay Away. Bad experience at Barcelo Solymar

Vacation Date Nov. 25th to Dec. 2/23. Changed rooms 3 times in the main bldg. Had 1 beach towel (received 3rd day) and 1 bath towel slightly larger than a hand towel for the whole week. Laundry problem. Had 1 sheet on the bed that did not fit properly and had to take the sheet off the 2nd bed for a top sheet that I used for the entire week. I killed 3 large cockroaches I found in the bathroom area. There was no hot water for a shower the last 2 days. Toiletries are scarce so please bring ever [... read more]ything with you including extra kleenex and toilet paper. Food is basic but everyone knows this. The beach is beautiful and location is good for going into town. Issued formal complaint to the hotel, Sunwing rep. and TripCentral.

Barcelo Solymar: the solymar was my favorite resort years ago.now it has become a 2star at best,horrible place.sad to say but i will never go back

busted light bulbs ,black grime on bathtub . limited food no drinks no wine no pop. dirty pools closed restaurants. for the last 25 years I have been traveling to cuba 3 times a year and this has got to be the worse experience yet. I will not recommend this place to my worst enemies. very sad😪

Occidental Punta Cana: 7.5/10.....

I'll keep it simple and concise... Beach is great, not a rock or shell. Water clear and warm. Never calm but not rough. Just wave off vendors. They keep trying but aren't super pushy. Resort clean and visually appealing. (some minor details in room, but nothing horrible) Pools nice and water temp perfect. Food was good overall. Pizza bar was good feature. A la carts mostly a joke as usual, but it is what it is for the money you pay. Coffee not good as usual in caribbean LOL (get coffee in  [... read more]lobby bar to go... its much better and hot) Staff were pleasant overall but most speak little English. Put time share staff in their place from the beginning and ask them to respect your wish to be left alone, otherwise they will keep trying. Had to complain about one outside vendor who was getting rude and manager made him leave property. Not much entertainment wise when we were there. However...The Circus show was really good. Like a mini Circ de soleil... Overall glad we went there and would recommend.

Barcelo Solymar: This our 3rd visit.

Beach and sun are a given, the BEST anywhere. Hotel in great need of repair. Main lobby only ONE toilet functioning, and 2 toilets no locks on doors, one out of service and they are at the end of the building. The toilets by the bar, haven’t been is service for years. Of all the elevators there, after 14 days, Two worked, then one, and on the day of departure no elevator functioning. We changed rooms a few times to find a bungalow with everything working. Food….. poor selections no baco [... read more]n ever at breakfast, no fresh salads, coffee shortages, often they ran out, no wine only at Specialty, , and even then rationed. Very disappointed…..we’ve overlooked many things over the years, but this year was the worst. No real repairs done in years, the waitresses did their best, working staff in the buffets worked hard… I’m sorry to be so honest as most of us always overlook what’s happening, just to keep the staff working.

Occidental Caribe: Unexpected Gem!

We booked here by accident, one word difference...oops! So how did it go? Food - I found the buffet itself to be the best with a variety of foods, hard working staff and a warm friendly hostess (ill call her Flo, first 3 letters of her name). Grounds - were very nice and constantly being taken care of, from painting to grass cutting. Rooms - comfy bed, high ceilings, balcony views..so what if I had to tighten a screw by hand or jiggle the toilet handle once in awhile. Maids were friendly and bus [... read more]y, nice job ladies! Bathroom/shower were great. Pools - very nice, no complaints. Beach - awesome, little chopey at times but it made it fun. Lots of palm trees to grab some shade and plenty of chairs to go around. Front desk - my man Martinez always hustling for people in several languages, he was hard working and accommodating, give this man a raise! Bartenders Juan & Sandy were friendly and knew how to handle the crowd. Overall 8/10, much better experience then a lot of reviews I read. Minor complaints, other entitled travelers and mosquitos only in the theater. Oh, Tony the Air Transat rep on the resort was friendly and informative too. In booking incorrectly and initially trying to swap hotels with air Transat was a joke and not helpful, the hotels made stronger attempts to accommodate but we ended up staying here and were pleasantly surprised. I'd go again. PS we did the monkeyland excursion, it was great, thx Kevin our guide. There was a coffee farm too, with a funny informative gent giving the presentation. Offered reasonably priced alcohol, coffee, cream etc with no hounding, impressed. Until next vacation, don't forget your drinking cups ✌️...

Barcelo Solymar: Lovely resort but many things missing

Great staff,happy and grateful. 1 of 5 elevators working for over a week. Check out day, no elevators working for guests: One toilet on the entire main floor with a door That locked ! My room 1362 had no working room phone , No remote for tv; no working fridge: I stayed here twice before in a bungalow with better working amenaties:

Barcelo Maya Palace: Amazing Resort!

My room was cleaned well, bed made, linens changed during my week’s stay, towels always fresh. The services were impeccable, the artwork beautiful, the buffet variety of foods and cuisines mouth watering. The restaurant, Caribe was my favorite! The beach and pool area kept clean and beautiful view of the clear blue waters. I hope to return again soon.

Barcelo Maya Palace: Au paradis

A beautiful site, a great beach and good food . Great people. Process to reserve A la carte restos has to improve. The beach is like paradise. Reservation processes for catamaran and restaurants is very inefficient
