Dominican Republic - Trip Reports

Barcelo Baoruco Beach Resort

Believe it or not, the pictures do this place justice (and then some). BEAUTIFUL facilities. A couple of notes to American and European travelers. First, conversational spanish is a MUST - when they say "bi-lingual" it means that there are a couple of guys around somewhere who speak English. In terms of location, this one is remote. Once you get there, though, you won't be disappointed. The beach is largely rock, although there is a sand beach. Surprisingly little seafood, but the food was really good. I gave them an "average" rating for service because of the problems we had with getting another KEY (you would think, for one thing, that each guest could get there own so you didn't have to be together to access your room) - it was a terrible inconvenience. In addition, we lost running water for one full day. GREAT value for the money, and if you can handle the "bumps in the road" with a positive attitude, this is the place for you - especially if you want to get away from it all. Excellent entertainment on the weekends. Recommended, with an asterisk (the asterisk is because of the key thing).

Thanks to Dave and Petra for this trip report ...
