Barcelo Puerto Plata is a great choice for a Dominican Republic All Inclusive holiday. The Barcelo in Playa Dorada is located right on Golden Beach and is a very well run hotel.

Barcelo Puerto Plata Reviews from 2010
“The swimming pools and beach and really well looked after – very clean. Service at the pool bar is fast. Gardens are immaculately well kept, gardeners constantly working on the lawn, tending the plants and flowers ”
“The evening entertainment at the Barcelo on Playa Dorada was amongst the best I’ve seen in quite a while (I travel a lot). The dancers, the Caribbean music and the costumes it was extravagant and you could see a lot of effort had gone into the shows.”
