The Barcelo has recently sold half of its property to their neighbor, Hemming way. The left side of the Barcelo is being demolished to construct new buildings for new condominiums. The beach is getting dirty. You can't relax with the construction noise going on and the local workers checking out the guests.

I stayed at this resort for 5 days with my mother and sister from May 24 2013 to May 29 2013. As soon as I stepped on the property I was surprised at how beautiful and well kept it looked. I was expecting worse because I had read some bad reviews. Everthing is very clean, including the beach. The rooms... More

Let me start of by saying this was the first time traveling to DR the summer of 2012, the Hotel boasts a 5 star, but lacks a LOT. The beach is rocky underneath, the pools and the bars were ok. The buffet made my travel partners sick. The pillows smelled from people who go to sleep with wet beach and... More

My first visit to the Barcelo Capella Resort Beach Hotel was December 7-21, 2012. Before travelling, though, I carefully read review after review on this hotel and must say I arrived there full of apprehension, based on many of the reviews I had checked out. I arrived rather late in the evening after a full day of travelling and was... More

Where do I begin... First of all, this was our first trip to the Dominican Republic. We have traveled all of the Caribbean and DR was the last of the islands to complete the map. We are also extreme travelers as we have been almost to the entire world and have enjoyed all of our stays except for this one.... More

I definitely don’t recommend this resort, pay some more money and go to a better place. Things that will frustrate you: - They don’t have enough people attending in the bars (Sometimes it took 10 min. to get a beer!!) - And beyond that, they concentrate the attendance in 2 bars during the day… - It’s almost impossible getting any...

Started off bad. Service was slow and our room was not ready by 3. Each time we went to the front desk it was around a 20 min wait. The beds were really old and bad. The pillows were worse, like ripped up pieces of foam in a pillow case. Wifi was10 dollars a day and barely worked. It only... More

First of all let me say we have been to 7 different resorts in 4 different countries ranging from 3 1/2 stars to 4 1/2 stars. My husband and I are not complainers and this is our first review. We arrived on a Friday afternoon so the resort was packed as many of the local people were there for the... More

We arrived at this hotel on a Saturday afternoon and the check in was quick. That is about the only positive for this resort. There was nobody to help us with our luggage, okay fine. Not that big of a deal. Our room faced out over what appeared to be a garbage dump. We figured, the back patio would be... More
