Emotions by Hodelpa Puerto Plata: GREAT VACATION

EXCELLENT LAYOUT, KINDA LIKE A TOWN SQUARE WITH ALL THE SHOPS/ POOLS/ RESTAURANTS IN THE CENTER... VERY COOL. COFFEE SHOP WAS AMAZING, VISITED SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. WE HAD AN UNPRECEDENTED AMOUNT OF RAIN ON OUR SECOND DAY AND IT FLOODED OUT OUR ROOM AS WELL AS SOME OTHERS, BUT THE STAFF WORKED TIRELESSLY AND HAD IT CLEANED UP IN NO TIME. BY THE END OF THE DAY YOU'D NEVER KNOW. WE WOULD DEFINITELY GO BACK!

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: sold resort

The hotel has been sold. The new owners seem to have good ideas and experience. Time will tell when they actually take over. The food was ok (not great). Hotel was quite old but in good repair. The beach was very rocky and had a red flag for the two weeks .Our departure day we had a power failure no lights or a/c. There was no PA system to keep us informed. Manuella had us in a junior suite but the building was the furthest from all facilities and the room was on the second floor. Pretty [... read more] hard getting up with a walker so we exchanged for a standard room closer to our friends and the dining room. We should be entitled to a cash refund for the difference. The sunwing flight had little room between seats. Felt like sardines. Not impressed ! Sunwing rep was not helpful.

Casa Marina Reef Resort: Amazing time!

I recently went with my family (husband and two kids age 2 and 4 months) and it was a great trip!! The staff were always so welcoming and so happy to see us and the kids just adored them all! The food was amazing and each night had something different to offer! The buffet has the view of the ocean which could not be beat! The pool was always clean and always had a chair available to lounge on! We had a room booked that was garden view but we got a pool view instead which walked out right to the [... read more] pool which was fantastic since my kids are so young! They had a show every night and both kids and adult games through the days both at the pool and the beach. The bartenders always remember your order and made great drinks! The room was simple and could use some pictures on the walls but for what you pay and for how beautiful you the resort was we didn't really care! They were cleaned every day and the maid service was great for leaving us extra water to make bottles. I'd definitely recommend them and we will definitely return again!

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Amazing resort!

Restort was great but with the amount of people I’d suggest more chairs around the pool and beach area. The beach also wasn’t the cleanest (seaweed, garbage, cigarette butts, etc). Overall we did have a blast and would return given the chance

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Could be a great resort

Staff fabulous, friendly and always smiling. Buffet very good with endless selection. A la cartel not so good, over rated and over priced. Rooms not very clean, especially with hair and dust balls on floor and in corners. Liquor was watered down except after dinner liqueurs. No meant No to beach vendors.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: A Relaxing Trip

Even though we got there a day after a huge storm, the staff and workers got the resort cleaned up so fast. The poolside was amazing and the rooms had comfy beds. The food was good, I recommend going to the Mexican and Brazilian restaurant there. I would stay away from the nightclub above the casino please it slightly off the resort and you have to pay for drinks there. Other than that it was a great stay!

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Wonderful place

The resort was clean. The staff was friendly. Enjoyable holiday. The only complaint would be the evening entertainment was pretty boring. There was nothing for older people just for young ones who want to go to the night club.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Excellent resort

Small to mid size resort, beautiful grounds, 3 a-la cart restaurants ( Mediterranean, Japanese, Mexican ) , 30 min from airport Beach was ok , pool was big. Service was great. Orchid garden, Ample of loungers

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: A great week.

We had an amazing time during our stay at Blue Bay Villas Doradas. Nothing but great things to say about the staff, especially the party committee was very entertaining. The worst part was our small room had no balcony, but our own fault for not getting a better room package. Overall it was a good bang for our buck.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: was ok for the price

food was never hot beach has lots of rocks and sea weed rooms were very good and clean the bus ride is a bit long and hour and a half entertainment was fair nothing special in the buffet Eddie was the best server there was he tried to help with everything

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Great resort

The resort was located in a convenient location. Staff were very friendly and beach was awesome. Very safe area, my family and I walked into town a couple times and lots to see on the beach. Each day you were given 2 bottles of water but there was no station that you could refill them. Since there was 4 in our room it would have been nice to have 4 bottles each day. They must have been having some trouble because they were pumping waste water onto the lawns for the entire two weeks we were ther [... read more]e and the smell was disgusting. Having said all this we would definitely go back to Viva Wyndham Tangerine. The price was good and the people were so kind.

Sunscape Puerto Plata: Good Time resort!

Dining was usually a good experience, food was good always, service was really good, staff were very friendly. Our room was dry, clean, and everything worked once we figured out how to turn on the air conditioning and lights. We came during one of the big storms in March but, we were dry as we were on the third floor and our ceiling did not leak, we were fortunate. The staff did an excellent job keeping the place running well and clean. Bathrooms, pools, and various dining areas were always  [... read more]tidy. The only complaint we have are the vendors on the beach, we did not enjoy our quiet time constantly being interrupted and continually having to say "no thanks, not interested" every ten or twenty minutes. We spent more time by the pool than on the beach because of this. The hotel also were trying to sell their "Vacation club" membership however, once you st through breakfast or lunch and an hour and a half sales pitch, you at least got a $200 gift certificate at their spa which was not bad.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: heath standards

The gym was perfect. Very large resort (lots of stairs and walking). Gas operated everything driving everywhere on the resort. Not a day without inhaling exhaust fumes. The gym was great and good drinks at the bar. Food is only served at certain times then your stuck with fries and tomato union on bun. Do not eat the hot dogs or hamburgers but even so, I know at least 20 people who got sick for 2 days (food poisoning?) I didn't go the gym and lost 8 pounds in two days. A group of children whe [... read more]re sick and the family was not allowed to take food out of the dining area to feed the children. If you lose your resort bracelet a fee of $200 USA is expected, they say they will not return your luggage so don't give it up. Good luck The Gym was good

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: A resort to go back to!

We had a wonderful time at the Gran Ventana. The food in the buffet and three specialty restaurants was excellent and the service friendly and efficient. The beach is spectacular and you can walk for miles in both directions. The rooms are basic but absolutely spotless,the balconies spacious and the room service was very good. We enjoyed the night shows and liked the fact the theatre was close to all other activities and used by guests all day. Everything was close together and easy to access [... read more]. The pool was the social hub and big enough for everyone

VH Atmosphere: Small but very relaxing

We booked this resort from Monday to Monday. The food was good. You could find something that you liked in the buffet. The resort got flooded out on Thursday night and we had to evacuate on Friday because of a rain storm. The staff was amazing during this crisis and made sure that everyone was looked after. We were disbursed to other resorts. The one we went to, the rooms didn't come close to the VHAtmosphere nor did the beach. Because of the amazing staff our vacation turned out great.

Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort: Resort

Overall pretty good, food good, service good, pools nice but weird access to beach and very small beach communication and welcome information lacking as it is such a large resort never been a fan of lining up for dinner reservations

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Loved it there.

The food was good, alot of variety to choose from. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Enjoyed the whole experience! Would definitely recommend this hotel as I did when we were there. Hotel is in a great location to downtown and to other beaches close by.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Great trip

This hotel was excellent, very clean, staff were very nice, food was great. Even had hit water all the time for showers Would recommend this to anyone took an excursion, recommended by our air transat rep, it was fantastic

Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort: Loved Lifestyles

We had a fabulous time and a great and relaxing vacation. The grounds were very well kept, the rooms were good, the food was awesome and we loved the vip beach with the beds and the great service!!!! The shows at night were all good and the entertainment staff work very hard. A little tip goes a long way and the staff deserved it!!!!! I definitely would recommend this resort to anyone. The only thing I didn’t like was all the different wrist bands, would be nice to have another system than h [... read more]aving to wear those ugly bands

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: It's a very nice resort

The hotel is old but clean and customer service is excellent, friendly and helpful staff, food was good, and the entertainment was okay. The beach is spread out and so it's never crowded, very quiet and peaceful. If you are looking for Wifi it's ok.
