This was the worst trip I have ever had. My money got stolen out out of my room the first night. Too many 70 plus old men with teens. I found a rope leading from one balcony to mine. I took it off and got accused of breaking into a room. The Dominican Republic police searched my room only to... more

Where do I start? Well I should start by saying i've never, ever had cause for complaint on any holiday i've been on. We expect different customs, different food and are not the kind of UK tourist who expects resorts to be Blackpool with sun. We go to different countries to experience different things. We have previously stayed in the... more

Loved the flamingos but hated the low standards.. Barceló is a respectable hotel chain… or so I thought. This particular hotel is nothing but a runned-down facility being left to self-destruction. From the moment my family and I arrived to the hotel, there was no parking. How come a hotel with 350+ rooms only have parking for 15? Check-in was... more

Let me start off by saying this is not a 4 star hotel. This by far was the worst experience ever. I wouldnt recommend this place to my worst enemy. Customer sevice was horrible.

Just returned from the Barcelo Talanquera 6/18-6/26 with my three children ages 12, 14, and 22. We had the most wonderful time and I get upset with all the whiners on this site. First of all let me tell you that I travel 4 times a year and have stayed at very cheap places and very expensive places. I always... more

My wife and I just returned from 4 days in the D.R. celebrating our first anniversary. We opted for Barcelo Talanquera over a trip in the US w/in our region because the price was so reasonable. Based on previous reviews of the resort and area, we had braced ourselves for just about anything but expected things would be good. I... more
