We visited the DR from Jan 5-11, 2012. We have been home three days and I am not sure when our intestines will return to normal. The food, the service, the filth, the 24-7 guards standing at every corner of the resort are all negatives! The room was so infiltrated with mold in the vents and air conditioning, we had... More

This was my 4th all-inclusive resort experience, so I would say that I had some expectations, but they were not unreasonable. (We were a family group of 8, btw). Having said that, this resort was not great. Here's why: Positives: The location is great. Lots of nicely landscaped beachfront and nice water (although you need water shoes for all the... More

OK, reality check, this place is in a developing country and it's not five star, so don't go expecting that. It's not five star prices either! What is does, it does well and that's a great pace to relax on a lovely beach and all inclusive food and drinks. We stayed in one of the older rooms (3000 series block)... More

We were very dissapointed with our beachfront room. We asked to change rooms and it took 90 minutes for someone to show up and take us to a new room. Since the second room was as bad as the first one, we had to go to the front desk and ask for our money back. Not fun when you are... More

I do not know who did it, but I was drugged! My wife and I went down by the pool around 11:30am and had a few beers. We are regular drinkers and can both handle our booze. We are not drunks, but "a fun, energetic couple that makes friends with everyone..." At around 1:00pm, and 3 or 4 beers later,... More

We arrived at midnight on a Saturday night, Sunday morning. No line at check-in but generally slow overall. Many times during our week long stay they had several workers at the desk, or just one and the efficiency level was noticeably lacking regardless of the number of employees on duty. Elivis and his golf cart wisked us away to our... More

This place is similar to any typical 3rd world hotel. When you stay here you are truly reminded by the fact that you are on the same island as Haiti. You want hot water in the shower? Don't stay here they don't have it. You want towels to dry off with out of the shower? This is not the place... More

Dont understand some of the reviews on here I think it is just people being petty! Booked this as a last minute trip for my birthday! Wanted nothing more to do all week than to relax and thats all we did! My boyfriend and I are fussy eaters yet found something every day! We were the only English people there... More

A group of seven had booked a vacation at Barcelo Capella in Juan Dolio, Santo Domingo, DR for our friends 50th birthday from 11/9/11 to 11/14/11. Little did we know this would be the worst trip we had ever taken! When we first arrived at the reception area to check in there was only one person behind the counter servicing... More
