Barcelo Dominican Beach All Incl Punta Cana

Had a nice ocean view and a great location next to the main pool and beach.

Once we got to the location, we all got on a big boat.

Beautiful weather and a beautiful location, it was a very special trip and we still think of it and smile and long for that ocean breeze.

We decided to beat the crowds at check in, so we took a taxi from the airport to the resort ($22 US) and the trip is about 25 minutes.

On arrival we took a taxi from the airport.

The rooms were very spacious, had a TV (mix of channels), Good air conditioning, patio with view of ocean, king bed, and the bathroom had 2 sinks, a shower, and Jacuzzi tub.

It was a large room with a huge bed, lovely bathroom, air con (god send!

Through 2 double doors was the Master Bedroom with own TV, walkout balcony and ensuite bathroom complete with Jacuzzi Tub, seperate shower, his and hers sinks, toilet and bidet.

It had a king sized bed, a separate day bed in the "tv" area and a huge bathroom with shower and separate jacuzzi tub.

So we immediately called the front desk and said we did not want that room, so they gave us another room only to see the bathroom filthy, the bed on a crate and no air conditioning.

We did eat at the main buffet for breakfast and lunch every day and at one of the restaurants for dinner.

And since the buffet is the only place to eat breakfast and lunch, from that point on we went to the coffee shop for breakfast and ate Lay's Potato Crisps (from the gift shop) for lunch.

It also has a sports bar, coffee shop, and 5 restaurants in addition to the main buffet located next to the reception.

The brazilian restaurant puts out a yummy lunch buffet everyday that is near the pools and we made sure we made reservations for the restaurants each night.

We also used the snack bar restaurant near the pool each day for lunch.

This was a sign of things to come in regards to guest services and reception staff.

However, everyone else on the property was VERY friendly, especially the staff in Meza Luna and the employees in Guest Services.

Go strait to Guest Services next to the reception desk try and get the manager normal a lady.

The entertainment (the popcorn man, Erick, Carlos, Michele) staff was the best but I will say that Anthony at the front desk can get anything taken care of that you need.

Included with our room was a day at the Metamorphosis Spa with an aromatherapy sauna, whirlpool bath, natural product body exfoliation, fruit body wrap, facial and massage, plus use of a fairly well-equipped gym overlooking the ocean?

2 on the beach, one at the main pool, one in the lobby, one in the sports bar.

BARS - Lobby, sports, pool and beach bars are great.

Check in was no problem - didn't have to queue for hours and there was no problem with our room which was in Block 5, was spotless and which had an ocean view.

Our rooms were very nice, clean, and safe.

Our room was in the lastest unit built (3rd floor so cathedrale celling) and was very big and clean.

The room was very clean and a nice size with an excellent view from our balcony.

Room was spotless, tile, marble, balcony, etc.
