Hi, everyone! Just returned from a 6 days trip, for first time, in Dominican Republic. Got a good deal from "orbitz" at Barcelo Premium, Punta Cana: - beautiful and well maintained beach, gardens, pool - spacious , 2-nd building pool-view room with balcony (and later on noticed the cockroaches in the bathroom) - flat screen TV with no signal for... more

Stayed from Aug 22-31st...the island is absolutely gorgeous...the view from my hotel room, amazing! THE HOTEL IS HORRIBLE, the service is awful...its basically a weekend getaway for locals and that is who they cater to. My room had a serious leak in the bathroom that they refused to fix, they wouldn't give us towels or toilet paper, we complained EVERY... more

A group of us went down for Labor day weekend for a friend's wedding...at first glance...and on the website- the hotel and grounds look nice. The reality...absolutely no service. what went wrong... The AC didn't work. The power went out twice (as did the water while in the shower). The hotel was dirty, linens weren't clean. Towels weren't fresh. We... more

I feel compelled to write this review, as looking at this site I find some of the reviews unbelievable, this was our 2nd trip to Barcelo, we went last year too. The hotel is great, food is of a good standard. OK some of the rooms could do with updating, but they were clean and a good size. As for... more

Just returned from the Barcelo Premium in Punta Cana, honestly cannot see what was premium about it. This is no doubt a dream resort with a beach that stretches beyond where the eye can see, you would be hard pressed to match the view. We went with a family of 4 expecting great things from this hotel, DON'T. We checked... more

We thought the rooms were lovely. However, the service was absolutely horrible. One would think that since the resort was on the beach that there would be plenty of towels available for the guests, but there were none. There were no clean towels in our room nor at the pool. We had to complain everyday because we didn't have towels.... more

We just returned from Punta Cana yesterday and we are very happy to be home. Our stomachs are actually starting to feel better. Here are some notes for people looking to go there.... 1. our "deluxe suite" did not have Air Conditioning. We had to wait in lines at the lobby desk for a couple of hours just to be... more
