Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Tropical dream Resort

The staff were amazing very helpful and nice all the time. The resort was beautiful. We loved the adult area and the snorkelling. Our room was perfect all the time. The buffets were always good and the restaurants were super good.

Occidental Punta Cana: Perfect get-awat

I was very impressed with the cleanliness of this hotel. There was always someone raking or sweeping or scrubbing or painting. It was well laid out with pools strategically placed throughout the resort. Both the pool and beach had ample seating. The pool was very clean and warm. The beach was beautiful. The beach was raked often and always has security. It was a wonderful holiday and we look forward to returning next year.

Occidental Punta Cana: Fantastic Resort

This hotel was fantastic! The food was great and the grounds were very clean. The beach was great to walk for hours. Pro's Close tot the airport clean rooms good food clean grounds beach was amazing Con's Wine is terrible Staff not warm and fuzzy not great for snorkeling as the waves constantly stir up the sand People on the beach trying to sell you all sorts of things and excursions Staff constantly asking if you want a massage Staff trying to sell you an upgrade to the [... read more] Royal or First Club Have to walk under water fall at the only pool bar on the resort

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Good Resort

The hotel is nice and decently clean. There will be little things here or there wrong that may bother you the first day but once you ignore the small things, it is actually a good hotel. One of those little things is that for example we booked with Colonial but when we got there the sent us Tropical. After talking to a few people that have travelled there, we found out that it is actually a common occurrence. Overall though it is a nice hotel specially for families with small children. My 1 y [... read more]ear old had a great time at the pool and the fact that there's a clinic on site for us was a bonus. I won't say this is one of the best hotels you'll ever go to but I will say, you will have fun.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Awesome place 😊😊😊

We stayed on the Adult Only side and were extremely satisfied with the room ...excellent view...the staff were friendly and helpful...the walk to the “Shopping Mall” was a pleasant 10 minute stroll(muchly needed after a great lunch) A great choice of restaurants to choose from for our suppers ( seafood,Italian,steaks,Japanese along with numerous buffets) We will definitely be back💝💝💝

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Relaxing time

We arrive at the hotel around 11:30pm check in was a breeze, our room was in the 5300's so we were close to the beach on the third floor, room was nice food was great never crowded at the Buffet, never had to worry about a chair at the beach the pool is were we sat most days I faced the beach my wife faced the pool, the staff was amazing,

Occidental Tucancun: Amazing experience!

The resort was great overall! Me and the 9 others that I was traveling with had a great experience with the food and service on the resort. The staff was wonderful, the bartenders took care of us and made sure we had an unforgettable experience, especially with Ismael and Max who catered to our needs all week long and made sure we were well hydrated and content!

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Fantastic resort

The hotel was very clean, and well maintained. Lots of wildlife (flamingo's, deer, monkeys) Hotel situated by xcaret park. Lot's of activities. Plenty of food choice's at the restaurants. Food was very good. It was a wonderful experience.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Great beach & food

The grounds, pool, beach, amenities, restaurants, casino, and disco were all really nice. The Golf course was in great condition and very easily accessible. the a la carte restaurants were the best I’ve had in DR. Having said all that, the rooms and balconies were not as advertised. Upon arrival our upgraded junior suite’s floor was soaking wet with hair and dirt pushed around by a mop. Was much tighter quarters than depicted online, even though the location by the beach was nice, I wou [... read more]ld upgrade another step. Room service is an extra charge!? Trying to order drinks to the room, they would limit us to 6x 8oz warm beer cans. Trying to stock up on cold cans in our fridge to avoid draft was impossible, and got hung up on a few times trying, even though we paid for it. Beyond that everyone was friendly and it was a really nice resort.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Expansive Resort

6 resorts in 1 large area. Lots of restaurants to enjoy, we ate at 6 theme and 6 different buffets. Beach area at Caribe/Beaches resorts were the best of the 6 resorts. Only issue they did not push the hand sanitizers on people entering eating areas during Coronaviros time frame .

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Great customer service

Judy was very helpful in meeting all our needs of having a close golf course, beach, pools and restaurants. The alacarte food was great, we had the Japanese, Mexican and steakhouse. The casino was also great fun. Thank you!

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Great Family Resort

The property is beautiful and they have spared no expense in both building and maintaining it. Obviously caters to families and the set up is great for kids, with beach, numerous pools and easy access eating facilities. For parents, golf set up is terrific if you golf and casino is user friendly if you are a gambler. Would not necessarily recommend for adults with no kids, but they have an adjacent adults only resort. They have an army of staff but service is uneven at times.Buffet food was d [... read more]ecent but not great, which seems the norm at these large all inclusive resorts. The a la carte restaurants all have beautiful interiors but quality of food even there was uneven. Overall the four adults and four kids in our entourage had a really nice week.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Amazing resort

People where great, food was excellent, my only problem was I could have flown from Victoria, and not Vancouver, I thought travel agent knew where I lived, and we asked for 2 beds and only got one.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Highly recommend resort

The resort lived up to reputation lots of different entertainment choices high service with great staff who go beyond to make your stay enjoyable and stress free .The grounds are well maintained as well as the beach areawell maintained Rooms were clean and saw many get fixed before getting used again. .Food was good nothing special. I am not a big fan of night shows but the wife enjoyed .

Barcelo Maya Caribe: All you need in the Mayan riveria

Great amenities! as an athlete the gym and pools provided great workouts. Great staff like Irene Sanche at the beach pools. Comfortable rooms Would recommend to anyone. This was our 4th visit and hope to go back again

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Fabulous Time

This resort thought of everything when it comes to what makes a vacation special. We did book premium and found checkin process smooth and welcoming....oceanfront room stunning to open curtains and be right on the ocean! Pools that are more like small lakes weaving along parallel to the extensive beach with warm shallow water.....ample beach loungers everywhere.....water sports, and free non motorized watercraft......something for everyone. Though we are a retired couple we still enjoyed the 18 [... read more] hole mini putt as well as strikers Bar with great pub food , massive tv, pool tables , bowling lanes, air hockey....and other games when a break from the sun was desired. In addition the shopping concourse is very nice with a good number of boutiques..this large central area also includes the buffet restaurants, a la carte venues , casino, and huge stage production area. Premium quests can use hydrotherapy area in spa daily for free which was wonderful to have a hot tub then plunge beneath the outdoor hydrotherapy treatment sprays...which overlooks the other pools and the beach. The gym is well equipped and free as well with classes in yoga, spin classes...Down by the beach there is daily water volleyball and beach volleyball , Zumba and water aquafit classes. The staff are fun and do a good job of getting people feel comfortable to join in. The Food overall was great, beef always tender, views from balcony’s of buffet restaurants are oceanfront......so nice,our preference over being indoors at fancier a la cartes. We did a few a la cartes but found the buffet has a great selection and if outside the view was just so beautiful.... all food was very very good......the wine not one we could enjoy.....so stuck to champagne and beer. Staff were very pleasant and easy to joke with.....mostly Spanish but communications good humoured. Totally enjoyed ourselves.....so much to do......so many things we didn’t have a chance to try........something for everyone. I highly recommend and was sad to go home

Allegro Cozumel: Terrible tesort

The buffet was horrible at every meal. There was nothing to pick from And a lot of the food was tasteless! No alcoholic beverages were served before noon! They said it was a Mexican law! Not even Mamosa with breakfast! Even though we paid for all-inclusive we had to go across the road to an outside restaurant to have meals and alcoholic beverages! Rooms were very dated you could see daylight around the door in our room even when it was closed. The shower door would not close and there was a  [... read more]crack on the bathroom floor! In the seven days we were there there was only one night of Nightlife. The rest of the time the outdoor theatre had movies for kids. Nothing for adults to enjoy. All this being said the resort was clean and the staff was very friendly and accommodating!

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: nice resort

They are always cleaning sanitizing which is great to see. Upon arrival no one wearing Face Masks. ,on departure all Security at Airport were wearing Masks. A British Cruise Line was denied Port due to sickened people onboard. We have trouble with all food once we leave North America even having consumed Ducorol prior to travel. Stomach aches and pain from day 2 until our return home so we will have to see a Dr prior to leaving for any future Island.

Had hoped for better food from a 5 Star maybe we are too fussy. The resort is amazing other than our food issues.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Good resort overall.

The first room was on the ground floor and it had a very strong moldy smell and the second one was almost the same but at least I was able to leave the balcony door open all the time being on the second floor.The room service did not clean the balcony for the entire week and it was full of bats droppings. For this reason I gave one star for the room. Excellent service at the buffet and great food variety.

Occidental Arenas Blancas: Occidental arenas blancas

Good set up although personel at reception desk were rude most of the time except at the day of arrival. . Service and food average and again missing wine for 4 days. Shows were good with great dancers. Advertised as a 4.5 stars at booking but to me only a 3 stars.. Olkis at the supper diningroom was the most helpful waiter to guide us and answer all our questions of all the rest of the staff! Loved Varadero Cuba but will not go to this resort and will choose a 5 stars resort for sure.
