This place is absolutely amazing. The staff is probably the friendliest you will ever come across. They make you feel like family and you will be very sad to go... The room was exactly what I needed, the food was absolutely DELICIOUS and so were the drinks. The beach was by far the most beautiful I've seen. The water is always clear and the sand is beautiful. Never a rainy day and we were there from September 23rd to October 1st. I would go back there in a heartbeat!

The hotel itself was aesthetically pleasing, each building seemed to fit perfectly in the Caribbean landscape. Unfortunately the positives of the hotel basically ended there. Where there was beauty in the architecture, the Hotels' service was substantially as awful. The staff would just about ignore any and every grievance their customers brought to their attention. The buildings also did not contain any type of elevators, having been on the fourth floor it it proved to be an inconvenience. The food which was served buffet style was not very good either. I resorted to eating from the stations that would re-cook everything right in front of you. Still if your looking for a relatively inexpensive trip to an all inclusive resort than Barcelo Dominican beach isnt the worst choice However personally, id exhaust all other choices before staying here again

We transferred hotels in our first morning there.... worst experience traveling if my life and it was my honeymoon, and the staff knew it. They are so extremely rude, even on honeymoon they didn't give two sticks about us feeling happy. Before getting to the room which was not the suite I paid for my wife was crying, IT WAS THAT BAD. Anyone that gives a good review doesn't know a nice resort or works here. DO NOT GO HERE, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

One star is one to many here. I pity anyone who stays at this place. The place is outdated, worse food I have ever had at a resort, and the staff was horrible and worse than rude. I spoke with management and now understand why the place is so poor. I live here I can tell you this place will not improve. The target market for this hotel is local Dominican's from Santo Domingo. Save you money and go to a Hostel or Cabaña instead. You'll get better service and have a better time.

Not impressed at all for the competitors that have this resort in the zone, beautiful place and buildings but the food was too limited only had a few variations, the staff most of it didn't knew english only a few ones... we had two rooms they were close to the beach but they had bad smell called service and they changed everything but i dont recommend this resort. The pool made my foots blue it seems like they have some issues with the painting too...
