Traveled with Apple Vacations--great air service. I've been to Caribbean many times before and knew what to expect. You get what you pay for!! Tip maid up front ($5.00) and you'll get better service (and flowers). Accept that you are not in States--it's a different country. A little Spanish goes a long way. I called three days in a row... more

We stayed at this resort from July 5-12 and were very disappointed. Where do I start??? Check-In - We arrived at the hotel around 10 p.m. Very slow and poor service. No welcome drink, in fact hardly an aknowledgement! Then to top it off two different rooms until we were settled. The first room noisy (Block one, not for families),... more

Just returned from a week at this hotel and must say was pleasantly surprised as the reviews were not too favourable. We had a room in Block 6 which was a Caribbean Spa Suite, two double beds, a jacuzzi tub, double sinks and separate shower. No problems whatsover with hot water or pressure. Was a small leak over one of... more

I visited this resort during the week of July 17-23. We had a party of 8. Two of the rooms were fine, one had no air conditioning and no toiletries which was never fixed for the week. We asked for another room but were told none was available. Very difficult to communicate as the staff spoke very little English. Now... more

My wife and I wanted an inexpensive 2nd honeymoon. This place gives you what you pay for. Little for a little. Check-in was so-so. We did not get the room we booked with a King bed and gave up trying to move. The check-in staff were inattentive and could care less what we requested. Best to brush up on your... more

My boyfriend and I are really dissapointed with the all-inclusive we just returned from, which left a very bad taste in our mouths and stomachs (literally and figuratively) speaking. Punta Cana and more specifically, Apple Vacations was recommended to me by my parents who had stayed at Allegro Punta Cana, but our experience was nothing like theirs. Our experience at... more

We stayed at this hotel 31st July - 15th august 2007. Everything was going well until 3 days into the holiday I started with what I thought at first was sunstroke. After being ill for 7 days I was admitted to the local Punta Cana Hospital and was diagnosed with a tropical parasite (caught from contaminated food, poss the salads)... more

I just got back from a week at the Barcelo Dominican Beach resort and i was happy with the experience. People told me to watch out for the heat this time of year and boy was it hot, but once we got down to the beach or the pool and lounged, the heat was easier to deal with. The resort... more

I just returned from a 1 week all inclusive trip to Punta Cana with my boyfriend and we stayed in the Barcelo Dominican. We booked through FlightCentre and paid $1280 which was more then what we wanted to spend considering we booked 5 days before we left. We arrived to the resort at 9pm and checked in. They gave us... more
