My wife and I wanted an inexpensive 2nd honeymoon. This place gives you what you pay for. Little for a little. Check-in was so-so. We did not get the room we booked with a King bed and gave up trying to move. The check-in staff were inattentive and could care less what we requested. Best to brush up on your... more

My boyfriend and I are really dissapointed with the all-inclusive we just returned from, which left a very bad taste in our mouths and stomachs (literally and figuratively) speaking. Punta Cana and more specifically, Apple Vacations was recommended to me by my parents who had stayed at Allegro Punta Cana, but our experience was nothing like theirs. Our experience at... more

We stayed at this hotel 31st July - 15th august 2007. Everything was going well until 3 days into the holiday I started with what I thought at first was sunstroke. After being ill for 7 days I was admitted to the local Punta Cana Hospital and was diagnosed with a tropical parasite (caught from contaminated food, poss the salads)... more

I just got back from a week at the Barcelo Dominican Beach resort and i was happy with the experience. People told me to watch out for the heat this time of year and boy was it hot, but once we got down to the beach or the pool and lounged, the heat was easier to deal with. The resort... more

I just returned from a 1 week all inclusive trip to Punta Cana with my boyfriend and we stayed in the Barcelo Dominican.

They gave us... more

We grabed this hotel as part of the cheaper expedia deals and did not expect much of it. As it turned out, this was one of the most favorable vacations we've been on. Some flaws existed of course but nothing can be perfect. As long as these flaws were minor and did not matter at all, unless you are a... more

Just come back from the Dominican with my husband, we stayed for 2 weeks from the19th of June and this Hotel needs a lot of work to get it up to standard. We had a good Holiday because of the company we met but I just wanted to make travellers aware of some of the problems we encountered. Food The... more

Just got back from the Barceló Dominican Beach Resort (6/26 - 7/1) and I was pleasantly surprised by the property, amenities and staff. I too read the reviews and wasn't expecting what I got. It seems everyone's experience is hit or miss and mine was very nice. The hotel is indeed a short ride (20 min max) from the airport.... more
