Hotel Barcelo di Hispaniola

"The premises are clean and well maintained. Serving staff at the buffet were overworked, understaffed and tired looking. You usually had to ask for things several times and still they forget to come back. The beach was full of seaweed. Nobody was able to swim there, so the pool was super full and hard to get a chair in the shade. Specialty restaurants were mostly for a fee. For example the French restaurant had a flat fee of 40$ pp, the food was not worth it."

"The hotel overall was good, clean, staff was very helpful especially in coordinating transportation for departure, excursions, etc. The only thing we were not able to do was make reservations at the t restaurants. You had to go to the front desk and get asked if you want to you want to become a premium member. So we had to go to the buffet the entire time we were there."

""I was a bit disappointed with my room as it smelled musty. The carpet was a bit damp and sticky. Overall, Barceló Santo Domingo is a great property, but unfortunately, the room did not live up to the Barceló standard. I had been anticipating the 9th-floor experience.""
