Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Great week in the sun!

My husband and I stayed at BB Villas for a week. It was a smaller resort which we liked! The rooms were large, comfortable and clean. Food was tasty and always had lots of options. The beach was beautiful. Loved the beach beds. So nice to lie on and relax. Most of all we were most impressed with the staff. They were lovely. Always had smiles on their faces and made our vacation that much better. We would definitely go back.

Casa Marina Reef Resort: Really loved this resort

When we first arrived at the resort we were a little apprehensive. Being that it was right in the downtown area and a lot of traffic. Once we got into the resort and got ourselves familiar with the area we knew we had picked the right resort. The staff keep this resort spotless. Always cleaning. The renovations are beautiful.The reef section was our place to be for sun, drinks, and cooling off in the spas or the public beach. We are already planning on returning next winter but will request a re [... read more]novated room. Thanks Sue Herrington

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Beautiful resort.

Not a resort if you have mobility issues - lots of stairs and hills. Beautiful grounds, Standard rooms are dated but clean - worth booking a junior suite as it is updated and closer to the beach. Friendly staff and food was good. Beautiful long sandy beach for walks and never a problem finding beach chairs. Sunday Welcome Dinner was unbelievable - so much food you didn’t know what to choose. Would recommend this resort and will return.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Great experience

The resort is huge and has lots of hang out areas to choose from to change it up everyday. My fiance and i both loved the food we ate at the two buffets breakfast lunch and dinner. Our room had some minor problems that didnt bother me at all. The staff were very friendly and helpful and i personally had no issues with time share offers. We booked a couple excursions and had a great time.

Sunscape Puerto Plata: An excellent vacation

We truly adored our vacation. The hotel was beautiful and spotless. The people were very courteous, extremely helpful. The food was exceptional, every restaurant we went too, we were never disappointed. We booked through trip central, and had no complications what so ever. We will book with them from now on. We will definitely go back to sunscape!!! Thank you Chantal

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Blue Bay Puerto Plata

A small safe resort with a 20 min drive to airport. 2 swimming pools quite adult only resort. This was good value but can’t be compared to the large resorts say in Mexico. Our group of 10 enjoyed ourselves- if a quite time is what your looking for then you will be at home. Rooms are basic but adequate.

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Beautiful Resort

This was my very first trip down south and it was a wonderful experience. The resort was small but made it convenient with everything so close together. Food was delicious and there was always a lot available.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Great resort

Just got home from a 1 week stay at cofresi. Overall I would give it a 4.5/5. Beach was nice ! Pools were great. The staff was amazing, very friendly. Room was okay, nothing special but it got the job done. The buffet food was okay, the alacartes were delicious. Would highly recommend visiting paridise island for an excursion, it was beautiful and lots of fun. My girlfriend and I would definitely return.

Playabachata Hotel: Took me by surprise. Fantastic

Everything was amazing. The rooms. The 24 hour bar. The cleanliness, the Russian ladies from Moscow. I was expecting a little more better food but I got by. They hosted the super bowl like a bar in the USA. I was blown away.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Good resort

It was a good resort, food was good rooms were clean, the vintage club was good only thing I wish they did was block the vendors on the beach from being able to come in the vintage beach section, service at dinners was ok, could use a little work.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Friendly resort

The Hotel was very pleasant. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice variety of food but food was barely warm. The beach was close by. The excursions were fun. Shop around for pricing on excursions. Average age of vacationers were 40- 65 years.

Paradise Playa Dorada: Great Vacation

We arrived January 30, heat and sun every day. The beach was amazing great for walking. The hotel is clean and bright we stayed in the cheaper rooms. I would suggest that if stairs are an issue not to book these rooms. There is no elevator. Food was the best I have had in the Domincan,lots to choose from , buffet was different every day. The restaurants were okay ambiance was good service was great. Check in/out was quick . The whole experience was more then I was expecting. I would go b [... read more]ack to this resort.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: An Okay Resort

Staff were hit or miss - some courteous and polite, others very rude and abrasive. Hotel grounds generally pretty clean. Buffet was just okay - needed more vegetables and fresher food...a lot of it was dry and had been sitting for a long time. Also, staff were just okay there...sometimes we ate without someone even coming to give us water. Rooms weren’t great. Outdated, no where near as clean as they could be. Beds uncomfortable. Lots of ants. TV very small (we had an upgraded room - Superior  [... read more]Deluxe). Patio Door was broken and we had to wait to have it repaired. This was after switching rooms because the first one smelled horrible like a musty basement and our main door handle was broken. Toilet also broke in our room and took over an hour and a half to be repaired. A La Carte’s not too bad. Don’t get the hype we read over the Mediterranean (Mylos). Brazillian was fantastic (other then the salad bar was meh), Mexican okay. Pool very good. Lots of seats. Beach also good. Sometimes quite a bit of seaweed though. Didn’t like all the vendors at the resort and beach trying to sell you stuff or the lobby staff at check in...never experienced that so bad at any resort we’ve stayed at. Stores at lobby outrageously expensive...$6.00 USD for a can of Pringles for example. Okay place for the price. But wouldn’t stay here again. Stayed in La Romana years ago and resort and staff were much better. Definitely not a 4-5 star...3 is a better number for this resort.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Amazing Resort.. We Loved it

The food was excellent and the entertainment. The grounds and pool areas were very clean There were a large assortment of shade areas This was our first time at this resort and will definitely visit again

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Outstanding Service and Staff!!!!!!!!!

The Iberostar Costa Dorada was an amazing experience. The resort was beautiful with very well groomed tress and plants. They had ground level lighting so you could clearly see where you were walking in the dark. The food was excellent and always available. The staff were very polite and very proficient. The pool and swim up bar was amazing and so was the bartender. There was always room around the pools and eating areas. There was no shortage of water anywhere on the resort. The only complaints  [... read more]we had on this vacation would be the pressure to attend the Iberostar club briefing and the outdated room.The room was dated and needs to be modernized. They pretty much chased us to attend the 90 min presentation about the club. It was only at the very end of the brief that they gave you actual information and pricing about the club. Unless you are avid travelers (3 or more times a year) the club is not worth the cost. Overall this resort was a 9/10 and easily 4 1/2 Stars. We totally look forward to staying here again in the future.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Great resort

Great resort! Small and everything with in walking distance! Adult only is great and not a frat party resort! Great for those wanting to relax! Animation team and bar tenders so friendly! Free wifi was great as well!

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Exceeded expectations

Just spent 2 weeks at Be Live Puerto Plata, very clean, nicely landscaped, easy to get around. All rooms are within 2 to 3 minute walk to beach, pool or bar. Buffet had a good variety of food, pasta station, fresh smoothies, lots of fruit, good coffee. Harvey like hamburgers at beach. All staff are friendly and attentive. As well, our Sunwing reps went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of when one member of our party fell sick.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Worst resort

I don’t think I’ll stay here again. Sick from the food and had a lot of water / plumbing issues. I’ll go back to D.R but I won’t stay at the same resort. The restaurants you all had to make reservations for and by the time figure that out everything was booked. It wasn’t the best but did enjoy the people I met lounging around the pool and soaking up some sun.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Fantastic and beautiful resort

The staff were amazingly friendly, the food was abundant and good. If someone needed to relax they even had a nice quiet spot. It was my daughter's first time in the south and she told me that she would go again. It was fantastic!

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Amazing vacation.

First time for us at Grand Bahia Principe San Juan and we really enjoyed the resort The resort is clean and the majority of staff are kind and friendly. We had a great time and didn’t want to leave. The beach was huge, private to the resort and clean. Every section of the resort had staff members ready to help you.
