We found this resort through applevacations.com at a reasonable rate and then read all the reviews here and chose this resort over many others. We are so glad we didl The whole trip was amazing and better than we could have hoped for with the price we paid. Some things you may want to know: 1. The resort is huge... more

My husband and I stayed at the Barcelo Premium Punta Cana Oct. 8-18 and thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. It rained at some point during 8 of the 10 days, but we didn't let it bother us. It is true that the workers speak very little English and we spoke very little Spanish, but we didn't have a problem communicating. They... more

Long story short: our luggage was left at the front for about 2 hours unattended when they told us it would be brought up like everyone else's, had to change rooms 5 times (should have been more but by the 5th, I was fed-up - that resulted in A LOT of bug bites since the balcony door wouldn't close properly)... more

I have traveled to many beach destinations and I can truly say that this vacation was second only to my previous Fiji Vacation. After reading reviews from this site, I was initially concerned. As I continued to read the reviews,... more

Myself, my husband and our 2 daughters aged 7 and 9 stayed here in July this year. We were in block 6 on the first floor. The room needed redecorating as the walls looked like they hadnt seen a lick of paint in years. Tiles missing from the bathroom walls, and air conditioning not working properly. Beds hard as rock,... more

Myself & my partner Paul stayed at the Barcelo from 22/09/08 to 08/10/08 and had a fantastic holiday. With every holiday & complex there are always a few minor details that could always be improved - the main one for us was check-in. On arrival at the hotel, it took us over an hour to check-in which was very frustrating... more
