Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Needs some TLC

The hotel was HUGE. The buggies were constantly around so no trouble getting around. Rooms were nice, we were in Villa 2. Always stocked fridge and towels. Room service for extra items was quickly delivered. If your staying at Grand Punta Cana you don't get access to all the other hotels within the Bahia Chain. It's the lowest tier resort of the seven hotels. Beach was beautiful but chairs were over crowded and on top of each other. If you weren't at the beach by 6am good luck getting a seat. Th [... read more]at goes for the pool also. Unfortunately the food was terrible and service during meals was not great. Everything was overcooked or sometimes raw and constantly the same thing. The A LA Carte restaurants were decent minus the Greek one - awful. Tons of mosquitoes so if you don't want to get eaten alive, go inside your hotel by 8 pm. We had a baby so we didn't stay for entertainment because we didn't want her to get bitten by mosquitoes. Never had an issue with getting a towel. The Staff at the resort were very kind. I would definitely stay at a different hotel within the Bahia chain. I would suggest to pay more and get on the luxury side. Overall, although we had a really nice time, the weather was beautiful. We went in January 2025.

Ocean El Faro: Great Resort!

The resort was very clean, with beautiful pools and amenities. Lots of food options at the buffet and nice restaurants for dinner. The beach party was especially fun! We brought snorkel gear and saw lots of fish, sea urchins, and a stingray.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Beautiful resort!!

Had the most amazing time at the Royalton bavaro resort and hotel! The grounds were absolutely beautiful, food was great, staff were all so amazing and friendly and the rooms were very nice, they had some miner issues and could use a little TLC but nothing serious. Overall, we had the most amazing time at a beautiful place!

Secrets Royal Beach: Great Resorr

The hotel is well laid out, it is well maintained, the staff working in all areas are great and go out of their way to assist you. We had some challenges with our first room, and when it was brought forwarded the desk staff ( Eddie) remedied the situation for us. This is our 7th time to a Secrets resort and again we were not disappointed by the food, all restaurants were excellent! The resort has a more relaxed atmosphere in relation to the dress code, for men as only one restaurant r [... read more]equired long pants, at other restaurants men could wear shorts. You have to be an early bird if you want a pool lounger starting at 6am.

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Dreamy Spot

4.5/5 as we really enjoyed our vacation there. The grounds are beautiful. The employees cannot do enough for you. Multiple choices for eating and drinking. Beach is one of the best. Even though it was sold out, it never felt crowded. Rooms were a decent size and the beds were comfortable. Food while not quite 5 star, was good with lots of choices. We were in the preferred group so we didn't try the main buffet as it seemed to be a bit chaotic and we had other places to go to. The only downs we h [... read more]ad were a bit of a unorganized check in, the odd wrong order in the restaurants, and smokers seem to smoke where ever they want.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Had great time

My wife and myself had a great week at Cofresi. The food was good. We were in the older rooms. They could use updating for sure but how much time do you spend in your room. For the price we payed at peak time for travel would definitely go back again. $1000 each. Note this resort is very large and not for anyone disabled or walking issues. Lots of stairs and inclines. Thanks Rick and Deb

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Fun in the sun

Beach and pool were lovely. Room had a mildewy smell that was difficult to handle. Food in the adult lounge seemed to sit out for long periods of time with no system for keeping it cool. I could not eat anything with meat in it.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Good resort

Good resort that is a work in progress with great potential. Every day there was some sort of improvement being made to make the stay more enjoyable. The staff are very hard working. Rooms are comfortable with all amenities needed and if what you need is not in the room just request it and it’ll be there in a matter of minutes. Rooms don’t have much storage so you can’t really put away your clothes anywhere. Pools were nice, only drawback was lack of chairs. Everyone up and saving chairs by 6A [... read more]M. Buffets were good. Could always find something you like to eat! Al a carte restaurants were great! Entertain was great both at the pools and the nightly entertainment. The entertainment staff were awesome. We loved NICKI MANAJ!!! If they continue to upgrade things as they appear to be doing, it’ll be a great resort!

Secrets Royal Beach: Beautiful resort

We truly enjoyed our stay with amazing grounds, beautiful scenery, and loved the options of having a quiet pool which was beautiful and the larger more social pool. Lady was an amazing server always smiling and very attentive. She knew what we wanted and ensured we were taken care of. Lady went above and noyons to help and make our experience amazing. Wylkin in the Riviera restaurant was so pleasant and welcomed us when we walked in. It made our day. He was very attentive and made our experienc [... read more]e pleasant. We encountered an issue when we first arrived we were given a room in the “second” building where we found mold, air conditioning didn’t work, fridge didn’t work and excess moisture in the room. We complained and they were able to provide us a change which resulted in a positive situation.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Amazing time

Resort was great.The food ad the beach were great.pools were awesome to. The staff was attentive and the grounds were well kept.Snorkeling right off the beach was amazing.water was nice and calm every day.will definitely go back next year.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Amazing resort

This resort is absolutely amazing. Food was beyond amazing. Rooms very clean but dated. Beach was beautiful and grounds worker's made sure everything was spotless. Will be definitely booking again next year.

Riu Republica: Nice pools and beach

The hotel sold our room when our flight was delayed. They didn't give us clean bathmat or towels multiple times and threw our blanket on the couch. Servers seemed annoyed to be there. They would not give us dry beach towels. The pools were nice, drinks were good. Food was ok. Specialty restaurants are just themed buffets.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Wonderful week

Just returned from 1 week at VH grand. Most amazing beach!!!!! Can walk forever both directions. Lots of bars close to you. Premium and royal area chairs were “taken” every morning by 6 am so we just went to regular beach. Paid the “royal” price but wouldn’t do that again. Not worth it. Lounge was nice but packed, noisy and dark. Overall food was good. Staff very pleasant. Did the waterfall jumping/sliding excursion and boy was it ever a great adventure. Will likely return another year.

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: One of the Best Resorts in Punta Cana

Service was very good. Very scenic and well kept resort. Unlimited access to Secrets next door was an excellent perk. Food was average, but certainly enjoyable. Beach was great. Lots of shady areas available. Pool areas were very good.

Serenade All Suites Adults Only Resort: Just What The Doctor Ordered

Would highly recommend the Adults Only Side. From food to service to accommodations, it was all great. You could beach or enjoy your choice of three pools, each with its own degree of activity. Would definitely return.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Amazing time with friends!

Amazing resort. Lots of food choices & restaurants. Close to airport about 30 mins. Fantastic Beach for swimming and walking. Always able to find a seat. Yummy drinks. Pools where very clean and spacious.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Beautiful place

Beautiful place but too many stairs. Check in was awful. Young people working at reception need a bit of training. We had requested 1st floor and ended up on 3rd floor. Was able to change after arguing for an hour. Besides check in, everyone else was great. Pools are nice but a few need repainting. Don’t go there for the beach cause you’ll be disappointed. All in all, place is nice for the price. Would I go back? No. Too many steps and not a nice beach.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Ocean Blue and Sand

When we booked our trip, we asked our agent to request a 1st floor room, close to the beach, due to my wife having knee issues. At check-in we were told we were in 8 block on the 3rd floor. We told them about our request for a 1st floor room through our booking agent but were told there were no other rooms available. This seemed very odd to me because it was quite obvious they were nowhere near capacity. After the first night, we noticed our air conditioner didn't seem to be working properly [... read more] so we went to guest services to request someone look at it. They said they would send someone right away. That night, the same issue as the room was quite hot. Next morning we went to guest services and again asked to have someone look at our air conditioner, told them this was our second day complaining about it and again were told they would get on it right away. Well nothing changed. The coldest our room ever got was 26.5 C. Could l or should l have gone back a third time to complain? l guess l could have but why get upset and have to argue when on vacation. If Ocean Blue and Sand wants to be considered a 5 Star Hotel, they should have made sure our concerns were taking care of. The room, other than the air conditioner not working properly was actually quite nice. The grounds are kept amazing and there are 2 pretty good sized pool areas. The beach was also nice but lacked many Palapas. The only ones available were all in the back in the shade for most of the time. They have lots of room on the main beach to add some, and this would be a great addition to the property. The beach was nice. If your susceptible to mosquito's, make sure you bring lots of bug spray. l learned the hard way after the first night as l was eaten alive. My legs were a mess the next day while my wife had no bites. The restaurants were fairly good in our opinion. The main buffet was ok with lots of choices and although it wasn't on the better side of what we have seen over the years of travel, it was adequate enough in our opinion. The Sensai (Japanese), the Steak House (El Bodegon) and the Italian (Mascherati) were all good. We weren't allowed in the Blue Moon as long pants and shoes were required, something l don't bring down south. Route 66 was ok for a quick bite and more of a pub style dinner. At the beach, Villa Marina was also ok. Some of our favorite servers were Kelvin (Cline) Morales at the main lobby bar, Hugo and Edwin at the sports bar. This was our third time in the Dominican and we have also been to Aruba, Curacao, Barbados, Antigua, St. Marten, St. Thomas, St. Kitt's, St. Lucia, Jamaica, Cuba, Grand Cayman, Mexico and Turks and Caicos, just to give you an idea of how extensively we have travelled and to summarize how we rated this Hotel.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Not great
