Angry what a mistake...Barcello....BAD!!!! BAD!!!! BAD!!!!

I have stated at the Barcelo, and I have never had such a terrible time in my life. I stayed at the "Beach" and trust me the way we were treated you would think I had put a million stamps on my RV from home shipped it down there and was actually staying at the beach. Because I didnt have the correct socailly excpetable colored wrist band I felt as if I was singles out and treated as if I was serving time....no joke. I have stayed at the Bavaor Princess, (wondeful, no matter what color wrist band I had on. I stayed at the Sunscape, and it was the fricking tourists there from France that ruined my trip...I guess Americans would be better used to wipe the boots of the elite french snobbs according to the,,,,but the resort was wonderful ) I did find out from my friend who lives there in SD that when you leave the resort where a wide placelet over your wrist bank or turn it inside out, its almost like a bullseye mark in the middle of your forehead ) anyway, I was hopeing to try a Breezes resort the next trip, but if the Barcello has anything to do with them....STEER CLEAR, or just expect to me treated like cattle that you see along the side of the road. If anyone out there does do find out about the different color braclettes they issue, its an indication of class, or something along that line in the DR...I guess, as much as I hate to think it is a society basde on class and social standing, I guee it is even so at the A! resorts that no matter where you are from or what you pay to stay and play, you are given a "Scarlette Letter: of sort. the only difference is that you wear it on your wrist not on you chest. Yes the Barcelo has three reosrts rolled into one, and even thosugh they say you have access to all there, dont count on the same treatment. My BF and I were practically booted out of the Palace end of the KINGDOM, as he must have been assumed to be my Sankie and me his old with American honey / money a$$. Damn get over it you fricking "players" at any Barcelo resort, we are all working class, other wish, I wouldnt be there to get away from job, kids, etc,,,,and you just wouldnt even be there...its like a kunta kinte night mare...yess em boss, and now let me spit on the Trashy American Tourist because they only have "magenta" braclette and not a shinny gold one. STAY AWAY FROM ANY RESORTS WITH THE AFILIATION TO ANY BARCELO CORPORATION. I am not alone on this one...trust me...and if at all possible, get your "band of Class" attached to your ankle....not so obvious, and pants cover it up out in the general populous. Okay, maybe the blond hair and green eyes are a give away for me...but not necessarily.....STAY AWAY FROM ANY BARCELO PROPERT< DONT CARE WHAT THEY ARE CALLED...DO YOUR RESEARCH !!!! PM me is you like, or have any other questions. I have contacted the Barcelo Resorts in Spain directly and aven after my visit back in May of this year...not even a hi there...form anyone in Corporate...must have seen my colored braclette in the picture I attached...oh, why bother they thought, just another white trash American tourist. Anyon else had this experience...?
