"This place is paradise! Loved our stay and will be back!"

"I’ll start by saying the food was below average and made me and my boyfriend’s stomachs upset the whole trip. Good thing our room had 2 bathrooms. Secondly we got harassed every single day to eat their “premium” breakfast so they could pitch us a time share. They also walked around the resort trying to get people to buy their excursions. Every day multiple times a day we were pulled to the side to try to be sold on something. It was NOT relaxing at all. Next the beds were super hard and I woke up with a backache every day. The staff acted like they did not want to help us at all. There were very few helpful and hospitable staff members. The service at every restaurant sucked and we barely got silverware or drinks even given to us at the buffet. The only saving grace at this resort was the Olivo restaurant. The server was awesome and the food was good. Also, the drinks were extremely inconsistent. We would have good drinks at one restaurant one day and the next day they were disgusting. I would definitely not recommend this resort to anyone unfortunately. The location was good but the overall experience was disappointing for all the money that was spent. On one more note, if you do anything outside of the resort an are transported by a company, be prepared that the staff drive crazy and at multiple points in each ride, I was scared we would get into an accident. And we had 3 different drivers so it is not one specific driver that was the issue, that is just how they drive here"

"it was beautiful to relax but the hospitality was awful and the hotel rooms toilets and showers need to be fixed and not flood the whole floors or clog up the toilets and no entertainment really "

"Faranda was nice staff was friendly room was very clean only issue was towels was very stained and spiders in room "

"The Barcelo is amazing & beautiful, well manicured on picturesque Bavaro beach! All the amenities you want. The staff are all very friendly; but I suggest you brush up on your Spanish, as most don’t speak english fluently. All the food we had in the multiple restaurants and buffets was very good. The drinks were great; not watered down. There’s room for improvement on cleanliness (sand in the pools, and empty cups laying around; but not terrible. Rooms were in good shape, bed was very comfortable."
