Also, you mentioned that the ones above are "across from the beach" and I was under the impression that they were beachfront.

Calle Blvd. runs along the beachfront with the places I mentioned across the street from the beach. Decameron rooms are also across the street from the beach on The Beach Road. I prefer Barcelo Colonial Tropical because it includes the Capella all inclusive. Capella is the nicest of the Barcelo resorts in Jaun Dolio and it IS on the beach. In essence you are getting a great deal by choosing Colonial Tropical. The staff at reception at Colonial all speak English. I never had a problem with friends visiting at Colonial . (PM me for details if you are iterested.) Of course there is no problem having guests at Plaza Real or Plaza Azul since they are not A1's. Decameron has changed hands a couple of times recently and I am not sure if it still is a Barcelo resort?? I have heard conficting comments about Decameron. IF Decameron is a LOT cheaper and you are not going to spend much time there then go with it. If you want guests at Decameron you will definately have to pay. Do not get discouraged if you do not get a confirmation from any place. I have found it is not unusual for the businesses to have the same ethics for customer service that we are used to.
