Where do I even begin...this is by far the worse vacation i have ever been on. When my family and I arrived, we waited about 45 minutes to check in because they were busy. You would think that was a good sign. NOT! Our rooms were not available when we got there so they said to wait about 1 hour.... more

this has to be the most BEAUTIFUL place i have EVER seen in my life. this was our 2nd trip to the dr. this resort was not what we thought. after reading reviews i was so scared, but, knew that we are not picky people and we would be just fine... well, i was very wrong..the people that work there... more

We're a late 40's couple who stayed June 14-22 with our kids (19, 17, 12) and niece (18). We had a fantastic time at the resort. This was our 5th DR vacation; we've stayed at various places all over the island, as well as many Mexico trips. We like all-inclusive resorts so we can pay one price and not worry... more

This resort is amazing. When anyone asks me where they should go on vacation I tell them Punta Cana and to ONLY stay at Barcelo Punta Cana. The staff is amazing. The food is amazing. The bartenders are WONDERFUL! And, its just so much fun. I would definetly recommend this resort to anyone wanting to go on vacation to have... more

Traveled to Barcelo Punta Cana w/ the wife for our honeymoon. Neither of us had been to the D.R. so we were open minded. We had emailed ahead of time that is was our honeymoon and we wanted an ocean view room with king bed. We were told we'd get a nice suite with dinner on the beach, champagne, fruit,... more

Sorry this is so long, but hopefully it helps someone out! My husband and I just returned from our week long honeymoon at Barcelo Premium. I have to admit, I was skeptical about booking because of the negative reviews, but, I am so pleased I booked anyways! Right after booking (thru Expedia), I emailed the hotel and requested a renovated... more

rained half of the week, which was a shame, but having been to this hotel on business before, it didnt matter as i was looking forward to the tepenyaki restaurant, which was great...if a little salty. Be wary as everyone works for tips in places like this. they do tend to be more and more Americanized if anything. but we... more

I am writing this to counter all the really bad reviews and all the unusually glowing reviews of this resort. This place is neither. Background: I am a senior business exec in a very large professional services firm who has travelled extensively for business for 30 years. Stayed in the best and worst around the world, dined in the best... more

This is by far the WORSE RESORT I have been to! We had a horrible experience since we checked in. The food is great! but that's really all that was good.. the SERVICE was not anything of what we expected.. I would never go back to this place! My Sister was on her wedding and they did nothing to even... more
