We have just returned and all i can complain about is there are not enough parasols around the pool area and the free towels are grubby, yes in some areas it could do with a little TLC but nothing to stop you enjoying your holiday.
We only tried the italian restaurant and that was very nice meal.

My husband and I went on a two week holiday Aug /Sept to Breezes with our four year old daughter. The holiday was a reasonable price for a late deal but that still didn't excuse this hotels health issues.They seem to have been poisoning tourists for a couple of years now, going by the reviews, and Thomson, who I always took to be a sincere company until now, are STILL sending people there.Nearly everyone we spoke to had gastric problems including a honeymoon couple. My husband lost pounds in weight. Luckily children werent affected so much but it made you paranoid about eating anything. People from other hotels were fine.There was also an outbreak of about 200 ear infections so we didnt use the pool after that.This resort needs an input of cash so it can be cleaned and spruced up, new towels, Linen, pillows, sunbeds. Screw in the electrics and make the hotel safe.Pay those staff more and teach them good kitchen hygine so they are happier or the hotel will loose star rating altogether.
We actually did have a good holiday the weather was gorgeous throughout, the beach was the most beautiful weve ever seen and the waves were fun. There were humming birds and parrots outside our window and the breeze kept the mosquitos at bay. The other tourists were fun and helpful and my daughter loved the mini disco and the friends she made there. The entertainment was cheesey but well done and the dominicans for once showed genuine smiles while performing.

I just came back from the Breezes last Sunday. I have to say that I have been to many all inclusives resorts in the past few years and this is one of the worst Hotel I have stayed. The food was not good, and I have been to Cuba, Mexico etc and never a complaint, but this time I even got sick. Not to mention the beach grill, the meat for the burgers would be grilled almost 1 hour in advance...not eatable!!!

The staff was not that friendly, at time even rude. One night me and my son got to the Mexican restaurant at 19h25, the reservation was for 19h30, there is only a few people sitting down at the tables, and we were told to come back once it's 19h30 in a rude and abrupt way! One day I went to get information on the snorkeling trips at the diving center, the employee was more interested in checking me out than helping me...needless to say that we did not buy any trip from him!

I left a $3 tip for the maid every day, not once she gave us any extra, some days she would not even put any bottles of water back in the mini bar... and the room was not that clean, hair on the floor and in the bath tub...I only ask for a minimum! A little trick, if you go to this Hotel, bring a bottle of Febreze...it helps a little and remove a little bit of the musty smell.

The beach is beautiful and the entertainment staff was ok....

All in all, I would not recommand this Hotel only because I have been to other 4 stars Hotels, and they were much much nicer! It looks good on the pictures...but that's about it!

My family and i stayed here in july and i have to say we had a good time. The resort is very nice, the employee's very nice, the beach beautiful!!! But we had a lot of problems with our room and had to be moved 2 times. I would say at least 40% of the guests here had room problems also. The other downfall is the food is terrible. We have been to a lot of all inclusive resorts,but never have we been so disappointed with the food. If I where you I would do a little more research and you will find a better place. John n.y.

“For a 4 stars,it was perfect.”

Barcelo Premium Punta Cana

25 Aug 2006
31/35 found this review helpful

Hi there all.
One thing to begin with dont count on the bad reviews because may be those people weren't in the mood of vacation or with the bad persons or smthin else.I went to Jamaica,Cuba,Puerto Rico,Panama,Hawaii,Mexico etc...and this hotel is really nice.Im not sayin PERFECT 100%...
The Breezes was amazin for a 4 stars hotel.Dont think that everything would be perfect.There are always little things goin different than the way we thought or dreamed about or expected.
The drive from airport till hotel was fine.After we cheked up (AROUND 10 MINUTES WAITING) we headed to our room wich was on the third floor and had an extremely hallucinating view on the pool and the beach.
Everything in the room was perfect: The cleanless,service,etc...
The satff were amazin and what was really cool is that you're not forced to tip them so that they do you a service as in other hotels or places.They were really cool,understanding,professional,sweet and very smily.
One thing is bad: People on vacation who get drunk easily and start doin disturbing stuff.They should have vacation in their home.STAY HOME.
The food was fine (a 4 stars would be fair).But the restaurants were better than buffet.Breakfasts were delicious.
The pool was amazin but you have to reserve ur chair early in the moorning.
THE BEACH: Ammmmaaaaazzzzziiiiinnnnn...(5 Stars).I cant say anything else...
If you are searchin for fun and rest at the same time this is a good resort.You can have fun near the pool but you can also rest and have calm moments on the sides of the resort.
You have to try the Breezes once in your life.Beleive me it worth it.
By the way the excursions to Sanoa and Altos de Chavon were amazin....
