I like everyone else, read all the reviews about this resort. I was with a group of 8 couples and thought we can have fun anywhere. The resort itself is nice. The grounds are constantly being kept up as was the beach. The resort is very nice. The layout is nice, and the beach is wonderful. The pool water is... more

Last Minute vacation. We were happy because "you get what you pay for" It is small which appeals to us . Quick walk to the beach , restaurant, entertainment. The beach was wonderful. Lots of shade trees. Peddlers can be bothersome if you don't just say NO THANKS. They accept and move on. The gym needs some updating and equipment... more

28/01/09 . I would also like to bring to your attention that many people fell ill with cramps diarrhea . When we arrived at the hotel we were offered 2 rooms. Both these rooms were smelling and in complete need of refurbishment. We were offered another 2 rooms; these were infested with ants and in need of repair. The third... more

This was our second time @ this resort. The first time we had just gotten married(no kids) had great time. The hotel facilities were much nicer/newer/cleaner. This time we brought our kids (eight year later). Yes the resort has gone downhill. It looks old& tired. Yes I understand nothing stays the same, this was not the problem. We had two... more

I don't realy like all-inclusives, but Barcelo Capella is really not that bad and very reasonably priced. The resort itself is old enough that the gardens have had a chance to truly establish themselves, and this is the part i really liked. Lots of stone terraces, and huge banks of bouganvillea with the swimming pools tastefully integrated into the gardens... more

It's hard to judge a hotel by reviews that say they didn't like or did like something but don't give you great examples of why. My first impression of the hotel is, "We need to get our kids the hell out of here, pronto." Might have something to do with us getting there at 2am and the place was packed... more

I went to DR and stayed at Barcelo Capella from Dec 5-Dec 8 2008 and we all had a great time. The people there are so friendly and really work hard to make you happy and comfortable. The beach was amazing. It was clear and blue. I have traveled to many caribbean island and Juan Dolio is up there on... more

My husband, young son and I stayed at the Barcelo Capella in Juan Dolio for seven nights in mid-November. I must have read every review written about this place, and I could not imagine if I would agree with the worst or the best of reviews. Simply put, we would not return, and I do not recommend this hotel as... more
