    On February 25, while at the pool, we ordered nachos from the little cafe bar next to the pool. We ordered the nachos at 1200 pm but by 1225, the simple order of nachos had not arrived. Finally, the nachos arrived at 1245 pm, which was much too long for such a simple order.

    The shower vasilated suddenly and continuously from very hot to cold. It could easliy burn you if you weren't careful. There was not way to change this. It would be helpful to have someone to speak English at check-in.

    Meals at the buffet were great. The room was clean and the bed was comfoartable. The pool area was beautiful. The staff was very efficient.

    The bar area is a little cold due to air con. Other than that there wasn't anything to complain about.

    Stayed one night here in Jan 2025 visiting Santo Domingo for the first time. The hotel reception staff were able to converse in English which helped so much. The hotel has a buffet restaurant, bar, gift shop and swimming pool with its own snack bar. The rooms are standard with fridge, safe, iron and iron board. The bathroom and toilet were clean. Shower and bathroom have both bars of soap and soap dispensers. The hot water and pressure in the shower is excellent. Car Parking is available if you have a car. Nearest Metro station is just 3 min walk away. No problems getting an Uber from the hotel. I would consider this hotel, situated where it is as excellent value for money.

    Poolside bar music very loud which makes me sound really old 🤣 but bartender couldn’t hear me speak or rather shout at him and we couldn’t have a conversation round the pool.

    Bed and pillows really comfortable - room lovely but dark and constant car horns outside! Pool lovely sunbeds really comfy Staff really helpful Worth getting the Breakfast and Level 9 snacks from 4pm

    The WiFi in the room was terrible.

    The hotel is good but the rooms are a little old and dated and it probably does need an upgrade. The room is big and comfortable enough though. The hotel has a nice pool and the gym is also good and quite well equipped. The location isn’t close to any of the tourist attractions but Uber is very affordable so it was easy enough just to uber places.

    ALL the water (including that in the minibar) should be free/gratis. Instead, it appears it is not-one learns upon checkout!

    The room was nice, but would be better without the carpet. The pool looked very inviting. I expected slightly better quality knowing it was from the Barcelo chain, and comparing it with the Barcelo Bavaro Palace (Punta Cana), which was superb. Breakfast choices were good.

    when we were about to check out they told us we consumed a juice and a chocolate, but we didnt and the receptionist treated us a bit like we were lying about it. And she made us wait and afterwards apologized not for the treatment but for the time taken away. *eye roll*

    facility was clean and nice. Food was great too.

    Location is nice as it is at the city center. Breakfast selection was good! Room has a decent size with nice touches. I loved the pool. Japanese restaurant was nice, not crowded, good food. ATM on-site is a plus.

    Pool is open to people outside the hotel, thus making it less peaceful and over crowded with kids and non-guests. Not everyone in the pool paid for a day pass, many were just brought in by hotel staff members (friends). Someone should check on that.

    Very convenient location.

    I think it's a very centric hotel, it's close to many of the important places of the city. The room was clean and comfortable.
