I WILL NEVER GO BACK FILTHY, NOT ALL INCLUSIVE STAFF HAS ATTITUDE PROBLEM PICTURES ARE OLD DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THAT ANYMORE. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE
Being a young couple on our first holiday abroad, we were hoping this would be the perfect holiday. After reading so many bad reviews we were unsure of what to expect, however we were very pleased when we saw the hotel; after a very long journey.
we were very pleased with everything the hotel had to offer. The staff were all friendly and could ...

It's a very affordable for big and low income families. The food it's delicious and plenty of it. Service & cleanliness it's ok. Since is a family resort there's a lot of noise and too crowded. Over all is just despite there's no luxury. The entertaiment & shows are just great!!!

Worst resort
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/02/08
It was terrible, I will never go back to this hotel I don't recommend this to anybody.

The staff was no friendly at all. There was no communication within the staff, ...

THIS RESORT WAS OK .. THE PEOPLE WERE NICE. THE FOOD BLEND REALLY NEEDS TO IMPROVE SPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE DIABETICS/DIETING. ONE THING IS THAT THE LOCALS COME IN THE WEEKENDS AND TOO CROWDED VERY LOUD. THE ROOMS WERE CLEAN, ROOMY, THE PILLOW SHOULD BE MEDIUM SIZE. ALSO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET WATER(BEVERAGES) YOURSELF THEY DO NOT REFILL FOR ...

Worst Resort in DR thus Far BY FAR!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/01/07
Near to the Airport is a Plus. 500 Building is a plus. Other than that - Nada. The food was very bland and no variety all week. Not at all American 'cept for the French Fries - which we had all week. The beach was rough - rocks and shells on beach. Sea water was beautiful but alot of sea-weed. Vendors eventually become very annoying after day 2 ...

What we like.....close to the airport in Santo Domingo. The Italian restaurant is great...!!! That's pretty much it.
We read the reviews and decided that the people writing them were too picky. They weren't. The arrival was tough, mainly because no one at the front desk spoke much english. When we found someone who did, he gave us a ...
Beautiful hotel, rooms not as beautiful as the rest. Food is the same every single day, learn to love red beans and rice. All in all, a great deal for a beautiful vacation. * Saona Island day trip MADE the vacation, so make sure you look into that when you go.
I've been to the Dominican Republic 4 times now and always visit the Barcelo Talanquera Resort. The food was out of this world with something for everyone. The beaches are ultrs clean and the entertainment is tops. I recommend it to all my friends and family.
