Had a great week it looked pretty good and I looked at the Barcelo in Punta Cana when we were there in 2011. I thought it was great value we upgraded to Premium status and that makes a great vacation spot that much better and we thought it was well worth the extrabucks to go up a level . May... More

We just got back from a great vacation in Dominican. We stayed in this hotel last year & had a bad experience but for some reason, our children wanted to go back this year so we did. Our rooms were beautiful, the staff was amazing and we had good food every night. We ate in the restaurants most nights. The... More

If you're reading reviews here and wondering why they are so mixed... so did we a few months ago. But we were able to get an excellent deal on the trip so off we went. A couple of days in it all became quite clear. On one hand... - Rooms themselves are nice. We got a room at the end... More

We have been vacationing in the Dominican Republic for the last ten years and have visited many resorts both in Puerto Plata and Punta Cana. We have never reviewed a hotel before but we felt it unfair not to let other travelers know of how bad this place is. First off, we went there for just 3 days since we... More

3 of us went first week of may after exams were done, at first we were unsure with some of the reviews we read before going on the trip. All we have to say is UNTRUE, some people on here must be real picky because this place is Awesome especially with the value u r paying for.. Let's go with... More

We chose Barcelo Puerto Plata for our wedding out of a matter of convenience, affordability and package value. Their Groups Coordinator, Silvia Amaro, was amazing. She followed through every single step of the process (including dealing with me and my ever-changing reservations for family and friends!) and made sure everything ran on time the day of the wedding (even when...
