How do I get a ocean view room when I book Barcelo Palace in Punta Cana?

Question

it seems the discount sites only offer the cheap "garden view"

Answer 1

Happy Feet is correct.  There is not much of a town in Punta Cana.  Punta Cana is actually part of Bavaro.  There is another little town next to Bavaro but I cant' remember the name.  There is more to do there.  As far as the beach view is concerned.  I do like to be sleeping to the sounds of the waves.  I like to wake up in the morning and sip a cup of coffee on the balcony looking at the ocean.  Then, walking out to the beach for a swim.  I feel you on that.  Like the previous posts said, just offer a little bit more pesos for a room and remember to "da propina por el servicio".  Grease their hands a little bit, that works magic!  If you are looking for a different kind of vacation, please check me out on the other side of the island, in Haiti.

Answer 2

Offer a small amount extra above the cheap rooms and they may go for it things are really tight.

Many places are really hurting don't let them kid you.

Answer 3

Hi Matt !,

Only money talks ! I suggest you mail them confirming your reservation (voucher) and ask them for an upgrade and at what price and the way to pay the supplement. But frankly spoken why do you need a room with "Sea view"? Are you planning to stay in your room? This is the most beautiful country there is and so many to discover (oops! you are going to Punta Cana, so not much to see outside the resorts)

Happy to help you
