I was tol by the people at Barcelo that as of April 30 they no longer own the Talanquera. Does anyone know if it is still in operation and if so who is running it?
It is closed and I understand it has been sold for apartments. Really sad. I spent 3 years working as a dive instructor there and the last thing Juan Dolio needs is more apartments!!!
Thanks Matida. I had stayed there for a long weekend last year and thought I might do the same this year. I found it a reasonably priced option for an all inclusive and my novia really enjoyed the nightly shows. I guess I'll look around to see what other "deals" I can find in JD.
Only two hotels left now. barcelo Capella (says 5 star but think 3) and Coral Costa Caribe. Or you have 2 apart hotels - Playa Real and Albatros. let me know if you need more info.
Wow - I really liked it there. My wife and I went there a few years ago and were really pleased. Oh well. Thanks for the info. I was scouring the web trying to see what happened to the place....I should have known to come here first for good information!
Never stayed there or used the facilities.
Its another indication of how little value remains in the all inclusive market in Juan Dolio, and how the real estate market there is moving more and more towards owner occupied units on the beach - without the infrastructure needed.
Sounds pretty scary to me, felt like I was reading a short thriller. There are always some bad seeds mixed in the bunch but I could see how this would be tramatic. Sounds real.
Iīve had several clients that switched from Albatros to another condo and this was because they expected more of the condos but never because of robberies and bad service from the staff. This is hard to believe to be honest.
In my many years in the hospitality business Iīve experienced several times that clients from arrival couldnīt be pleased no matter what one would do.
Some clients go even further by trying to destroy things on the premises and some people write bogus reviews.
You canīt win them all.
