Barcelo Solymar: run down slum hotel

bad service bad food rooms leaking a/c not working bugs in the houses puke in the hallways not cleaned for more then 18 hours no water in the rooms locals get treated better even though they dont tip. do yourself a favor and pay the extra few bucks and go somewhere better

Barcelo Solymar: Terrible Resort

Booked an Oceanview, when I got there apparently no record of it so I had to prove it with my paperwork. Switched rooms twice into finally settling into an Oceanview with barely working AC and no water pressure in the shower, also cold water only apparently. Tried to exchange money at the front desk, they tried to say it was 40 instead of the 100 I was changing, I made a scene and after they checked the cameras they made it right with a half ass apology..

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Amazing resort

Very clean, good food, excellent nightly entertainment. Always something to do. The resort is large but if you don’t mind doing some walking there are many things to see. Staff is friendly. Check in was quick and easy.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: So So

Hotel is nice and overall clean and services are overall good food is good a la carte restaurants are all good except Kyoto restaurant ( servers either don't listen or understand well what do you really want to have for dinner and also Steak restaurant's charging us for 2 can of Sapporo beer 68 dollars was not acceptable ) there are certain things they need to clean the stones and rock at the beach along the shore they hurt your feet really bad one of the biggest "why is it like that" question  [... read more]goes to liquor service starts 12 pm and ends 12 am so after midnight there is nothing to drink this is i think too much for people who goes there for vacation or have fun . Many things based on extra charges i never paid almost 300 dollars extra charges anytime in my life before

Occidental Tucancun: Amazing Resort as usual

Let me just start by saying that this is my 5th time to this resort and it keeps getting better each and every time. People are fantastic and front desk staff is always accommodating. Bellman remembered me as i got off of the shuttle. The food was crazy good. Although I did travel alone this time I was made to feel as if I wasn't. I recommend Linda Vista Mexican restaurant and you can make as many reservations as you want. I expected a lot of locals because it was middle of July yet there [... read more] were about 50% of beds available always. The seaweed problem is not as bad as has been portrayed. The pool temperature was ideal and I had nothing but sunshine all week long. I can't wait to come back here again. Shout out to Ismael in the lobby bar and the other fine staff. Michael in the adult pool during the week of July 17 - 22 was fantastic and I can't believe someone had the nerve to complain about him that they weren't being served as he was very attentive and professional at all times. I had room 3001 which had two balconies and oceanview room as well. Spacious rooms and very clean.

Occidental Arenas Blancas: Great Time

The beach at occidental was amazing, the night life outside of the resort is one of the best. 5 minute walk from all the bars and restaurants. We had a few issues with our room but when we talked to guest services the manager took care of everything by getting us a new room, making sure this room was up to our expectations. Anything we needed we were taken care of like we were family. Our plane was delayed and when we talked to guest services they gave us a late check out at no cost. Would recom [... read more]mend this resort 10/10. Thanks too all who made this trip enjoyable! If you need a taxi call Pedro with the convertible amazing taxi and also does tours around Varadero!

Barcelo Solymar: Not like it used to be!!

Stayed at Barcelo from July 12-18 Worst experience ive had that I could remember. Got really sick thinking it was food posing. Rooms were all run down, mould on the walls, beds worn out, hotel in total shambles would not recommend and wont go back. Only good thing about the resort was the beach and the staff was pleasant, too bad i cant say the same about the conditions of the resort

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: wonderful vacation!!!!

My husband and I had a wonderful holiday at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Hotel in Punta Cana, from the moment of our arrival all the staff was very friendly, polite and helpful. Our very nice room with good cleaning service, good air conditioning We liked the restaurants a la carte excellent attention and food all the staff very attentive and helpful The two buffets had varied and delicious food A beautiful white beach which we enjoyed very much under the shade of its beautiful palm trees the  [... read more]only thing that we did not like much were the recreationalists did not really show much enthusiasm the only one that we liked was the pool Good transport service, great disco ... In general we had a great vacation !!!!! Thank you

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Beautiful resort

The hotel was absolutely stunning. For my first all-inclusive experience I could not have asked for a better one. The staff were friendly and the grounds were gorgeous. The food was very good, and offered a large variety of options, and even if something wasn’t available, the staff would accommodate.

Occidental Punta Cana: Treated like Royalty

My husband and I just spent 10 days at The Occidental Punta Cana in the Royal section. We got private check in and out, and access to all the Royal ammenaties. The good, service, grounds and beach were amazing!!! Our only issues were with Air Transat, if we can book with a different airline, we will return again for sure!!

Occidental Punta Cana: Great Resort

The pool was amazing, the staff was friendly, food was great (even for a vegetarian like myself) and the nightly shows were very entertaining. The beach did have a pile-up of seaweed or something so entering the water will get your feet dirty. The resort is very beautiful though and the pool is very inviting, although it closes at 7 pm which sucks because it looks beautiful at night.

Occidental Cozumel: amazing!

The Occidental Cozumel was everything we expected. Great beach with lots of shape from the palm trees. Buffets were also very good. very friendly staff. Enjoyed the adult pool. Lots of wildlife and a jungle feel. Great spot to snorkel right at the beach.

Occidental Caribe: Great Resort!

Resort was clean, staff was extremely friendly. We only had issues with the servers in the buffet, they were very slow and forgot about our drinks most of the time, not sure of this was due to a shortage of staffing. Food was alright, found it to be the same night after night. The grilling stands for omelettes and fresh meat and fish was amazing. Cleaning staff was excellent, disco was a lot of fun. Loved the coffee that you get at the bar in the lobby. Ocean view room was nice. Japanese restau [... read more]rant was delicious.

Occidental Punta Cana: Great stay

We found everything good and well organised. The staff were always cheerful and helpful. The beaches were clean and there were lots of activities to choose from. The food at the buffet was out best choice with lots to choose from. All in all we had a very relaxing stay at the resort.

Occidental Punta Cana: Great Resort

This is a great Resort. Good infrastructure, clean, excellent staff. If I can make a recommendation the Internet cost should be included with the all the rooms. There is room to improve the fine dinning at the restaurants, but in general a great experience.

Occidental Punta Cana: Unforgettable Experience

We just came back from our wedding at the Occidental Punta Cana, we had the most amazing time with all our friends and relatives, the hotel is the perfect size, big but not so much that you could still walk back and forth to the beach and the lobby several times a day, many options for dining, although a little hard to book the restaurants but the buffet had so many choices and different things every day, the beach is amazing, well maintained, overall super happy to have chosen this hotel for ou [... read more]r big day!

Occidental Arenas Blancas: Not a good experience with the hotel and the staff

We were charged for a broken TV that we have nothing to do with, it was already broken when we arrived. The hotel charged us $515 US for an old TV and we were not given a chance to defend ourselves. We do not understand the language and they were just taking one side of the puzzle. We do not recommend the hotel to anyone who wish to go to Cuba. We are not going back Cuba at all.

Barcelo Maya Grand Resort: Will be back next year!

this past trip has been my fifth time in Mexico and i think i have finally found the resort that i will keep going back to; the enormity of the property gives me the much needed space just to relax and be on your own when needed - the fact that you didn’t need to get up so early in the morning just to save a lounge chair on the beach counts a lot!! multiple activities within the resort ground, food is good and the whole place is very clean - no plastic cups, straws, or any single use plastics [... read more] littering around; any reported problems are dealt with very quickly and the staff are so friendly and amazing and always ready to assist - shout out to the staff of the Maya beach resort buffet restaurant (particularly Sylvia Balam and Roberto) and also the Spa staff (particularly Mimi and Guendalin). Many thanks to all of you! I had a fantastic time! I hope that Barceló resort will always be managed well.

Barcelo Maya Grand Resort: Fabulous vacation at Barceló Maya Grand Resort

Stayed at the Barceló Maya Beach for a week. The place is huge , lots of walking but it’s nice clean , well maintained . The staff are very friendly , with special mention to Selva and Roberto at the buffet during breakfast . The food is good lots of choices. Everyday is a different theme for dinner. I enjoyed the Spanish food (seafood and paella ). I also love having lunch at the snack bar overlooking the beach.
