As others have mentioned the resort is beautiful!!! Yes not many spoke English but we knew that before going so no big deal..... We did notice not all employees were super friendly but again no big deal, avoid those individuals, then you won't have to deal with it! My only major complaint was that out of a group of 12... More

I was VERY concerned abouty traveling here after reading reviews. We spent 6 days and 5 nights and it was wonderful! Resort is immaculate. Very large. Beaches are incredible. Staff was not over friendly, but didn't encounter anyone rude. Had no problems with language barrier. If you want all english speaking.. go to hawaii!! Hola, gracias and you are fine.... More

Punta Cana is a beautiful place to visit!! Right from the start it was not that great. we arrived @ Barcelo around 1:00pm on sun 5/13/12 and we waited at least 1 hr just to check in.. did I mention we're on vacation. When we finally checked in we had to wait until 3 to actually get our room. Our... More

Our stay was May 17-21. We are a family of four and had two rooms. One was the panoramic suite and the other was a junior suite.

After reading recent reviews, I became a bit worried about our May 13-19 trip to Barcelo Palace. We just returned and am wondering what is wrong with people. The place was immaculate. The buffet food was varied and good. The people were hospitable and accommodating. We stayed in building 8 between the golf course and main building. My husband is... More

The hotel was beautiful it was clean and well kept. The food was delicious and of great quality. The staff was not the best kinda rude,but they are irrelevant non factors. Besides that it was the best place I've ever been to. Planning my next vacation already!!!! More

The grounds were beautiful and spacious. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, but not from but none of them offered anything memorable. The price was right and were with a group of teenagers. So this was a great place for the group. Disco: Lots of techno music. Casino: good. Beds: very comfortable. Again, only complaint was the food since s=it... More

We (4 women on a girlfriend getaway) stayed here 5-6 thru 5-16. This is our 4th trip to DR, 3rd to Punta Cana and 1 to Puerta Plata. Each time we were in PC we stayed at a different resort. I had read the reviews before we went and I know that different people have different tastes so I took... More

This is my second time to Punta Cana. The first time my husband and I went was to the Majestic Colonial and we loved it. We thought this time we would try a different resort, so we decided on the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe Resort. On this trip, we went with my mother and brother. We did not share the... More
