I just got back from Paradise last night...it's a wonderful resort. I have stayed at 2 other resorts in the Playa Dorada area and this one is the one I will return to.
The rooms are very clean and very spacious...just make sure you book a junior suite as the regular rooms have a rickety spiral staircase that you must climb to enter.
The staff is very friendly, courteous, and very prompt. The food is delicious. The nightly shows are entertaining. And there is a disco and casino right on the resort.
The bars don't stock Bacardi, but I'm sure you'll enjoy Barcelo just as much
If you have any other questions, let me know.
