I just got back from a week at the Barcelo Dominican Beach resort and i was happy with the experience. People told me to watch out for the heat this time of year and boy was it hot, but once we got down to the beach or the pool and lounged, the heat was easier to deal with. The resort... more

We experience the most awful vacation time ever. Rooms: Our room was not ready for guests. The bedspreads were wet and so were the sheets. There were no towels in the bathroom and the minibar was empty. We were locked out of the room three times and finally maintenance came to repair the lock. There were bugs on the beds.... more
