3-Star Hotels in La Altagracia, Dominican Republic

The Resort is amazing. The area is beautiful, and if you play golf (very expensive) you can see the most amazing view as at least 9 of the holes run along the ocean. I visited with my wife and my son and his wife and my 8 year old grandson. Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful. The 1 bedroom villas were very comfortable and had wonderful outdoor space with a pool and sitting area. The golf was amazing (did I mention expensive) and Nelson, our caddie, made the challenging course very manageable. An international clientele, beach with sand like powder, friendly waves that kids can manage, and beach chairs a plenty. The look is friendly, with amazing thatched roofed buildings that make you feel you are in Caribbean paradise. We had a great time. NOW - the best. Concierge: Alberto - the joy of having all of your needs, problems, what should I do? moments taken care of. Golf:The course was in great shape, challenging holes, hard to stick greens but generous fairways - no trees. Most of all fantastic views. A good caddy is essential for navigating the course. Nelson, our caddy was our guy. He told us where to hit, how to play the wind, and quickly keyed into our abilities (or inabilities) for club selection. The best for last: Massage Therapist: I have issues with my lower back and lately my shoulders and upper back. Yes, I am older. I get massages about once every 4-6 weeks and some are good others not so much. Elisa was exceptional. She worked my shoulders, neck and upper back, and my lower back with deep massage that was unique in my experience. Her stretch of my quads, fairly intense, was surprisingly effective, and I stretch a lot. She is not going to make a crippled person walk or a blind man see but she gave the best massage I have had in a long time. My backache is chronic. I told my family afterwards that I felt buoyant, like I could float. Great place. I'm going back.

I had a very pleasant stay. Amazingly friendly staff and management. Food was really nice and affordable. Even though it was my first time here you can definitely tell that they are going forward and improving. I prioritize good people and friendliness over small details that can be overlooked. Thanks for having me guys keep up the good work

Based on my experience, I believe several critical areas need immediate attention and improvement: First and foremost, as a Barceló Unique Member, I expect a higher level of recognition, service, and care. I’ve stayed at Barceló hotels more than 12 times worldwide, including multiple times at the Occidental Caribe, and this was by far the worst experience I’ve had. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a massive line at check-in. There were no seats available for my wife and son, and no welcome drinks were offered despite the heat. My wife had to leave the line to get drinks from the bar, which should never happen at a hotel of this caliber. After standing in line for 2.5 hours, I finally received my room key. This is unacceptable for any guest, but particularly for a loyal, high-status member who had made a special request for our anniversary celebration, which was ignored entirely. I requested a room upgrade, as I usually receive at other Barceló locations, but was curtly told no, without explanation. When I mentioned my Unique Member status, the front desk staff responded, “What’s that?” I was in disbelief that they were unfamiliar with their own loyalty program. To make matters worse, I was given one of the furthest rooms (7412) on the 4th floor of the 7th building, despite knowing from previous stays that better rooms were available closer to the main area. Additionally, there were no welcome drinks in the room, something that other Barceló hotels, including the Occidental Caribe, usually provide to loyalty members. The poor service extended to the following day when my son forgot his room key card in the car. I approached the front desk, and an employee named Emeli Fortunato treated me rudely in front of my family. When I requested a new key, she refused unless I paid $23, claiming it was my responsibility. She became argumentative, insisting that I was told this at check-in, which was untrue. I had to tell her to stop arguing and asked to speak to her supervisor. She initially refused, saying she didn’t have one, which I knew was a lie. After much persistence, Juan Vazquez intervened to resolve the situation. The next morning, I met with Manager Alberto to explain the situation. This experience left me feeling unwelcome, and I regret spending my money on this stay. I have always been a loyal Barceló guest, but this was the first time I have ever felt compelled to leave a negative review. That said, I would like to acknowledge and thank CSR Martires, an excellent employee at Barceló. Unfortunately, he was on vacation during our stay, but he returned on our last day and made us feel welcome. When we explained how poorly we had been treated, he apologized and showed the same excellent customer service we’ve received from him in the past. It’s too bad he wasn’t there on the day of check-in, but kudos to Martires for exemplifying the kind of service I’ve come to expect from Barceló. In summary, I urge the hotel to improve staff training, parti

Our first night in the Dominican Republic we stayed at Green Beach Coast Hotel as was close to Punta Cana airport. Not as close as we initially thought, but got a taxi there for less than £15. Hotel at the end of a dead end lane in the town. Really nice welcome. Shown though to our room which was a simple suite. Basic but clean. Resonantly comfy bed. Shower nice and hot and free flowing. Beach was accessible via a little alleyway opposite the reception. Having our breakfast (included in the price) on the beach was lovely. WiFi was fine and accessible everywhere even down on the beach. Only drawbacks were that our room had no views and there was a dripping air conditioner unit outside our window onto an old plastic bag which was quite loud (till I reached out and moved the bag a bit). A particularly nice bar (Onno’s) a short walk (100m or so) was very lively with good selection of cocktails. We thought this hotel was a real bargain. Well worth staying. Wish we had booked a couple of nights. But never mind. Next time.

Hotel Flamboyan is a great hotel. The staff are amazing and verys friendly.I have visited 6 times and each time it gets better. The breakfast is very good and it comes with fresh juice. The rooms are confortable and clean. Everything is walking distance. The cigar shop on the corner is great. If you are looking for fun in Bávaro this is the place. 5 stars🏖️

I read some of these other reviews, and frankly was embarassed by the entitlement and spoiled behavour some tourists confessed to in thier reviews. A resort this is not. However, it is 3 blocks from one of the best beaches in the world. All the best tours will pick you up at BAM market a block and a half away. The staff here is accomedating, friendly, and tolerant of me speaking English at them constantly even though its kinda rude to do that. They have a nice open roof level terrace to drink rum and hang out on at night, and enjoy an included breakfast - usually yohgurt, cut up fruit, sandwich, coffee, and passionfruit juice. This is a good location in a rapidly developing country I would recommend this spot and return someday.

Literally best location in Punta Cana! Beautiful renovated villas surrounded with tropical flowers and palms with private beach area. Hidden gem! The service was good. The food is good for this area. There are two supermarkets in walking distance and the villa has nice kitchen, so you can cook.

The hotel is located in a great spot, with access to numerous restaurants/bars within a 10 mins walk’s reach. The area is also relatively safe especially on the beach. I would avoid walking around after 1 am as a tourist. The included breakfast was delicious every day and showcased well the country’s culinary expertise. The Bavaro beach right next door is absolutely beautiful with the typical Caribbean beach colors! The staff was very helpful, approachable and down to earth during my stay. I did appreciate that my room was equipped with AC, but I did feel that my room was barebones and could have used hand soaps, body lotion, shampoo and a mini fridge, which is pretty standard in most hotels. Hotel cleanliness was great and I loved the ample amounts of seating areas located around each floor. Considering the affordability of the place, it was great value for money and did not disappoint!
