Ocean El Faro: Amazing Resort is right.

We visited the resort Dec. 15-22/23 and we had a wonderful time and we would go back in a heart beat, the pools and lazy river were very clean and the water temp was just right. the grounds, public washrooms were also very clean, great job. the food and service at the buffet was outstanding and also the a la carte restaurant, so good. i cant say anything wrong with the resort and we will return our next trip.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Old resort New name

Jewel Punta Cana (JPC) is the new name (owner?) of this resort. Every thing looks old, but is well maintained under the good management. The staff are friendly, trying to please guests. We have had a comfortable, relaxing week here. The main issue is food. We ate mainly at JPC's buffet, and once at Sea Grill restaurant. Mostly, they are not well prepared, often salty, nothing delicious.

Ocean El Faro: Loved every minute

This resort was beautiful, clean and well maintained. The food was absolutely delicious. The staff were attentive and friendly. We loved the pools and entertainment crew. The bowling alley was so much fun. I would suggest more pool tables please. The casino is unnecessary in my opinion. I loved the a la carte dinners.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: No 5 star hotel

the reception area is magnificent and the main bar on the lower level is open and bar staff are very good. A Big high 5 to Antony and Manuel! Try Manuel's specials. Lots of top shelf liquors and while restaurants are plentiful, they do not ooze the 5 star experience. All staff, from gounds keepers to bar staff were happy to help and pleasant, always a smile. Not so consistant with staff in restaurants. Seating before 8pm was a "normal" challange. It would have been helpful if you had the  [... read more]option to book reservations at all a la carte restaurants via your butler. We stayed in the Adult Section; beach area for Adult only was very limited. The Balinese beds were very comfortable and spacious, but limited in number and located mostly around the pool. The resort itself is huge and is in the center of the Colonial and Mirage complexes. Kind of sandwiched in between the two other properties. The grounds were maticulous, wish the hotel would incorporate a tip option for grounds keepers. The wines were Spanish, but not of high quality. Food in the a la cartes was a bit hit and miss. The French was not good on our first visit, but on our next it was like a totally different experience. Service in a la cartes, is a bit chaotic. You are asked what you want to drink, order then halfway through your meal, you ask again or just go to the bar yourself. It seems that they have enough staff, but duties may be too specific for each of the staff. Appears like organized chaos. Get one waiter to handle everyones beverage and meal orders, then if they need help, have them ask for assistance, rather than relying on the water guy to fill your glass, the one waiter to bring your drink, the other waiter to bring your food. The staff clearing plates needs to be more cautious of liquids on plates, I got my pants christened with beef juice when they removed my pate. I personally found that the rooms are dated and need attention to temperature controls actually being operational. Our A/C was either not working or on full "icy chill". We had 4 maintenance calls and spent around 4 hours in our room waiting for them to arrive, assess and not be able to correct the A/C issue. We hung a bath towel up on a hook , it fell off; yet no one ( chamber maid) thought to call maintenance, we weren't going to wait around for them to come to fix it. The toilet roll cover fell off, same deal. The shower was amazing, large rainfall shower head and lots of hot water. Bar service on the beach, yes they come to you... was excellent. The two that stuck out the most was Jenny and Judit( Judy) were great. As was the bartender Francisca. The unsung gem was the coffee shop on the 2nd level, overlooking the beach. Always had snacks and beverages from 7-11. Ladies working there are sweet. Love that you don't have to worry about your towels being taken. Just visit the Club near the bar, to get fresh towels, drop off used ones...it is simple. The SPA seemed nice from what i saw of it. All be it, a bit on the expensive side. These ladies are not RMT's but the massage was very good. Check in was a bit of a drag, our room wasn't ready...and lets face it , after a long day of travelling, you just want to get to your room , change and hit the beach. The water was clean, no accumulation of seaweed. Grooming was done daily and garbage was picked up often. Tourists can be very inconsiderate of their environement. Checkout was quick and painless. I didn't see the need myself for a butler, other than getting daily text messages sent to you and the odd booking of services. There was little for them to do. They do try hard, greet you everyday. Buy cigars on the beach! Vendors are licenced and product is good. Buffets were very good, we ate at them the most...the only issue was any dietary requirements ( GF) were not really addressed other than prepackaged muffins and sometimes buns. I'm glad I brought my own breads with me. Beach is long but not very wide at the adult section. You feel some days that you're being sat on top of. Evening entertainment was of high quality and shows were varied. We give this resort an overall 3.5 star rating not a 5 for sure.

Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Wonderful vacation at this resort!

Lovely vacation here. The resort is about 28 years old and could use a facelift, as the Punta Cana next door just received. I had a peak a couple of days before it reopened. Just lovely. The rooms are very dated, but spotless, as is the whole facility. My hat is off to them! Staff is very well trained and extremely attentive, outgoing and polite. Just lovely. The food, selection and presentation is fantastic! One minor complaint was communication a couple of times and bartending. I ordered a Te [... read more]quila Sunrise one morning and was presented with a Greyhound(vodka and grapefruit juice). A Sunrise should not be stirred at all. They stirred every one I had there. On another note, I ordered Barcelona rum with pineapple juice one evening and received bourbon instead of rum. The day of our departure, I walked to the lobby to confirm our airline pick up to travel to the airport. The young woman at the concierge desk had no clue as to my question. Did not at all understand me. She was very polite but should have not been placed at this station. Overall, a wonderful 10 days in paradise. I will attempt to book the Iberostar Grand for a trip this coming March.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Just incredible!

Everything is spotless, you're at the nicest resort on the beach, food is awesome, staff are very friendly. Beach is clean and you can walk it for hours in either direction. Quieter atmosphere at night after the shows end.

Temptation Miches Resort 21 Plus: Terrible resort

For a resort that is 1yr old…I see it being run down in 5. There was only a an average of 150 people the whole time. Weather in that area is cool and rainy. Drive from airport is 1.5 hrs away and in bad roads. Food, terrible, drinks gross. Overall a disappointing trip. All the negative reviews I heard before the trip, happened to be true. I do not recommend nor would I ever tell my friends to go.

Royalton Punta Cana Resort: Great Resort!!

We stayed here dec12-19, the hotel is beautiful and well kept, the food is really good and we did mainly stick to the buffet. I have noticed that service isn’t as attentive as it use to be (drink orders) Really my only slight disappointment was the room and the Wifi signal. Our room when booked was called Diamond Club Luxury room and there was nothing luxury about it, just a small room king bed and one sink with little counter space. Clean yes and comfy bed but not what I expected especially for [... read more] Diamond club. As for the Wifi at least for me constantly in and out which was annoying. Other then that we had a great time

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Wonderful vacation

We cannot think of a single complaint. The resort was beautiful. The grounds and the rooms were always very clean. The staff was friendly and hospitable. They had a lot of different activities but nothing too intrusive. Just an overall fantastic experience.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Great resort .

This resort was great I ve been to the Caribbean 19 times and I have to say this resort is great .The staff are the best I ve seen very friendly and professional. The food was very good lots to eat .There's lots of places to sit in the evenings. Also the beach is great lots of palm trees and lots of beach loungers.I would highly recommend this resort I will definitely return to this resort again.iIt was a excellent vacation at the majestic colonial.

Bahia Principe Explore Turquesa: Amazing resort

Excellent resort with great views, good food, and entertainment at the best price found by the best agent Jairus Maus. I would definitely recommend this resort to others and I would definitely come back again.

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Very good resprt

Grounds were in great shape. The Club level was great and provided superior alcohol and an adults only pool. Rooms a little dated but fine. Comfortable beds and big tv. Loved Cocoa cafe. Went every day.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Had an Absolute Blast!

From the time we arrived, we were greeted by friendly staff who went out of their way to make our stay the best it could be. The grounds were well kept and the pools were the main attraction for ourselves, kids and grandkids. The meals stood out as some of the tastiest we’ve ever had. I would highly recommend the Majestic Elegance Resort!

Ocean El Faro: Great Resort

We stayed 7 days at the Ocean EL Faro which is a great resort. I don't consider this hotel to be a 5 star, 4 stars for sure. Our stay was enjoyable, comfortable and very relaxing. At first I thought the resort was going to be huge, but its not. We stayed in building 9 and to get to the lobby it was a 5-8 minute walk. Our favorite spot was Mike's coffee, every morning we had a nice latte, the staff are very hard working but sometimes its very slow. Usually, they have one, sometimes two people ma [... read more]king coffees and you can imagine it can get busy. The food was tasty at the buffet, there's always something for everyone, there's a variety of different items that you can have for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We aren't picky eaters. The a la carte restaurants are great, we did all of them except for Blue Moon.....didn't want to wear pants. I think our favorite was the SteakHouse, Margarita and Sakura. At times it was difficult to make reservations, as we wanted an early dinner and they book up fast. You have to be on right at 8am and be quick about it booking your dinner. The app worked great the whole time we were there except for one dinner......I wasn't able to bring the menu up when ordering so they provided a paper menu, a few minutes later it was working again. We stayed by the pool most days, as the kids enjoyed it. The beach is nice but the waves were big the whole week, its also very rocky, great for exploring with the kids and finding fossils. They ended up brings some fossils home. If you have a family, this a great safe place to visit.

Ocean El Faro: Only for families with children

Although this is a beautiful resort and well taken care of, we found that it was mostly meant for people with small children and people that wanted to pay to be privileged. We felt if we ask questions we were bothering them the only staff that seem to want to help the male staff. They were very pleasant and never said no to anything that was asked the cleaning staff was also very helpful and made sure you had everything you needed.. Food was OK. Nobody would serve, but it definitely could have [... read more] been better. It was the same thing all the time and always make sure to get the food from the back because the chaos that went on in the buffet with children running around and even adults grabbing food, taste testing and putting it back on the plates Was disgusting !!!!! We observe this many times through our weekday had to have food removed many times because of it and this is what we mean when we say it was chaos people pushing people, shoving nobody had manners Overall, I would not return with me and my husband, but if I was to bring my grandson along, this would be the resort for him. Everyone makes their own judgements on a resort. This one is definitely a resort.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Fantastic Resort

The grounds were clean and green spaces well maintained. The pools were clean and varied. Food was abundant and varied. The swim up bars were a nice touch. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. There were many ramps for walkers and wheelchairs to access the different areas.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Nice resort

Great resort, fantastic beach,very friendly people and nice entertainment.The only negative thing was the maid service- did not replace spare toilet paper,not enough towels,fridge not restocked with water.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: It was okay

The amenities were 10/10 but the service was better at many other tropical/Caribbean places I’ve stayed. I’m not sure exactly why we had this experience since it was so highly rated but we were often ignored by hotel staff and they seemed like they didn’t want to be there.

Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort: Beautiful Resort

This resort is beautiful and at night it is even more beautiful. It is very big! There needs to be drink service on the beach and more around the pool. Entertainment was good but seems to be same kind of show every nite, but great dancers. Food was good better than expected. Would definitely recommend this resort.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Good Resort

It is a nicely located resort, .pretty well arranged . It has good facilities like pools, beach , kids club, tennis courts etc It need to be proactive for keeping these facilities cleaned. Food in the restaurants need to be well cooked and should have various different varieties.
