Cap Cana Marina Holidays from NZ$3,690

I loved my solo stay here at Barcelo! From the amazing staff checking me in whom made the process seamless and easy. To the preparation of the room and the cleanliness of the grounds and room I was placed in. I loved the many different cuisines that were available to choose from. They also had plenty of activities that I was able to choose from to enjoy my stay from relaxing beach days to choosing excursions or activities onsite. The most important was the staff was very welcoming and allowed me to enjoyed every moment while I was there. Greeted me with big smiles and great energy. I would definitely return here again! Made the stay feel like home for me.

Great customer service, food and hotel we highly recommend

Since the new ownership you can definitely tell the property has taken a downward turn. The rooms arent being take care of, events are short lived, the buffet is sad. I have stayed here 3 times now and the ambar used to be the cream of the crop, you could go anywhere and eat anywhere. Now your stuck to only your resort. I had to ask multiple times for any of my perks, had to pay to upgrade and even then that swim out toilet broke multiple times. The previous room before the upgrade the fridge didnt work. Also the al a carte meals are shared with other resorts. I spent a lot of money to be far away from children and still had to deal with screaming brats at dinner. I will not be returning. Dont get me started on the spa too, its a joke.

Pros: -safe, secure - you can leave your things on/at your beach chair without worrying -polite staff; good customer service -24/7 room service -clean beach with easy access -plenty of activities to participate in -clean, well-kept facilities and buildings -very family friendly -mini-fridge in the room stocked daily -many dining options; access to all the menus on the app -large buffet option also Cons: -inability to make reservations to restaurants; sometimes have long waits and nowhere to wait in the immediate area -alcohol was very watered down -some food was generally bland -about 45-60 minute ride from the airport; drivers may be scammers (even the Uber ones who will cancel your ride and try charging you 2-3 times as much once you’re in the car) -tv froze frequently due to connectivity; spotty WiFi from the beach -the app notifications to let you know your table is ready doesn’t always work

From the moment we checked in we felt like we were at home. There was specific care and attention the entire time we were here. My partner has severe allergies and the staff was more than accommodating and made sure both of our experiences were top notch. The cleanliness of the resort by far is superior to other resorts I have been to. The food was amazing and not once was something lacking. Special attention to these employees who made our experience even more special, Moises - el sol bar Manauri - lobster house Elizabeth - agave Luis H. - the kitchen / lobster house Joandry - boss bars We will be back!
