Grand Bavaro Princess: Decent resort

Rooms were not as updated as they should have been. Employees did not speak or understand English. Reservations at the restaurants were hard to make. For a renovated hotel, it wasn't as renovated as it should be. Freddy in Guest Services was amazing!

Zel Punta Cana - All Suites: Garden suit by Melia

An Excellent resort with many amenities, large clean rooms, and friendly staff. Food options are limited as out of 5 restaurants, 3 were fully booked for the week we were there. Night's entertainment is also limited to mostly Kariyoki.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Great Trip

The newly renovated rooms are very nice but we did have to pay extra to get the same room we usually stay in . We had no idea they were renovating and still are…. We still enjoyed our stay as we love the resort. They entertainment crew are the best !!! They are awesome ??

Riu Palace Bavaro: Great vacation

Beautiful resort! Beach was where we spent the majority of our time. Food was good and lots of options for my vegetarian wife! Room was clean but the elevator was problematic. Manuel and Jesus were incredible service people.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Great Vacation

We stayed for 11 days at the Breathless Punta Cana Resort. The staff were very attentive and if we had any issues with our room they were there right away to address them. Simple things like the safe battery, tv remote not working and things like that. The maids were great and each day they cleaned our room and brought fresh towels. We really enjoyed the fact that you didn't have to make reservations for dinner only the one restaurant required it and was very easy to book with the hotel staf [... read more]f. We always enjoyed the quiet pool during the day but if we want more music etc we could have gone to the party pool but we enjoyed just relaxing while we were here. The night time entertainment was great and we really enjoyed sitting around at the main bar in the evening and service here was great as well. You will enjoy your time here and we loved it was adult only as we did visit the Dreams one next door to just walk around but there were a lot of families there as well.

TRS Turquesa: Switched hotels mid stay

This hotel was very well kept for the most part and most of the staff were wonderful and kind. Our room was the furthest away (building 58) and paralleled a busy road and neighbourhood. All day and night we heard motorcycles and cars racing down the road with loud booming music. Each night we heard loud rap music pounding from houses and a lot of loud (liquid filled) talking. We would have asked to be moved but this was not the worst part of our stay. They have 1 coffee shop and it opens at  [... read more]10:30AM and closes at 6:30PM! This is the only place you can get cappuccino or pastries, room service does not offer either of these. You can’t order a coffee or tea or even pastries after 11am from room service. We do not drink alcohol so this was my worst nightmare! We only lasted 3 days, our last straw was going to the buffet for dinner and realizing the ONLY buffet available was in the all ages part of the resort which meant we had to take golf cart to buffet and sit with families and kids. Most people go on holiday to adult only resorts to avoid this. There are NO other options. The day we were leaving, I fell really hard in my room because the air conditioner vent on the ceiling was leaking all over the tile floor (the pictures would shock you). On our second day we learned we could get a cappuccino from the main bar in the lobby (remember, we are at far end of resort) so we walked up to get one and stood at the bar (which had no patrons, only about 6 people working behind all talking to each other and ignoring us standing there), that is, until we pulled out a $5 bill. Even then it was sub-par service and hospitality at best. We don’t expect a red carpet and are pretty down to earth and friendly but that was ridiculous. We called Trip Central asking if we could move hotels and were told (VERY nicely) to call Air Transat as they had put the package together. We called Air Transat and they said we could NOT change hotels as we had already left Canada. How does that make sense???? How would I know if the hotel I had booked I would have issue’s with prior to arriving? We ended up booking another hotel, paying for private transfer and paying for balance of stay which cost us another $4,000.00. Then the day before our departure, we realized how late our flight was and the new hotel required us to checkout by noon. This meant we would be sitting in limbo for 5 hours before our ride to airport. We checked Air Transat online to see if any earlier flights and they had seats available! We called Air Transat asking if we could switch to earlier flight (which would have been a win for them because they could sell our later flight ticket at a higher cost), once again, Air Transat said no! This is a joke now, I was furious! So after sitting for hours before heading to airport, we get charged $100 US for 2kg overweight…. Interesting because we did not purchase anything and it was the same weight as it was when we left, minus the floaters we left behind and whatever we used. Heaven forbid you question it, they don’t speak English. We have been to punta cana 4 times this year alone and have always stayed at Bahia Principe Ambar but wanted to give TRS Turquesa a shot because we had heard good things. NEVER again. In fact, I don’t think we will return to DR anytime soon because of this nightmare. I’ve veered off, I apologize but please know, Air Transat Vacations will do nothing to help you, the Punta Cana airport is getting worse everyday and TRS Turquesa is not what they advertise at all. Beware, Air Transat Vacations can not be modified in ANY WAY once you leave your country, regardless of the reason and will do nothing to help, assist or compensate you.

Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort: Fantastic Resort

We had researched the hotel a lot on you tube prior to the vacation. The reality was even better than we imagined. Fantastic location, facilities and variety of food. The staff were all excellent and friendly. We stayed in a standard Junior tropical suite which was a nice size and very well maintained. The only thing it lacked what an extractor fan for the bathroom/Shower. The A/C was very effective! Beach was lovely, busy with party boats coming and going but didn’t bother us and added to th [... read more]e atmosphere of fun. Will definitely return next year.

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Resort

Hotel was good staff were mainly excellent but service was sometimes slow and non existent. The sun wing representative spent most of his time on his mobile, asked him for advice when he was there which was not often and his knowledge was poor. Far too busy on his mobile.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Beautiful beach

This resort is situated on a beautiful beach. It’s one of the nicest beaches we have ever been to. The food was average and there was a lot of smoking on the property. Jenn is a great travel agent and we always appreciate her help in vacation planning.

Occidental Caribe: Great vacation destination!

We loved our 9 days at Occidental Caribe. Check-in was slow but afterwards, everything was just perfect. The hotel is gorgeous, room was dated but comfortable and clean. The grounds are spectacular. The buffet had lots of variety and we always ate too much. The a la cartes were enjoyable. The pizza at the beach was to die for! We would definately go back! This resort is very large and also very noisy, has a party vibe so is not ideal for those looking for peace and quiet. But if your looking for [... read more] a magnificent beach and lots of fun, this is the place!

Select Sosua Adults Only, Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Excellent Experience!

This was our 2nd time staying at Select at Casa Marina and already planning to return again next year! Special thanks to Juan, Jose, Sandy, Francis and Yanery for making our trip fantastic yet again!

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Could be better

Stayed in Junior Suite, room was decent. A lot of walking to get to different things, bar, pool, restaurant, lobby, beach and many stairs. Way too many golf carts zooming around on joint paths, almost hit a few times. Pools need painting but we're clean. The employees are excellent and really are this resorts saving grace.Food and drinks are average.

Serenade All Suites Adults Only Resort: Great resort!

My partner and I returned from a 5 day stay at the Serenade All Suites Adults only. This resort is amazing. I have no idea where the bad reviews are coming from as service was good, food was good and staff were friendly. Our room was perfect with a king bed and soaker tub. AC very cold and no issue with hot water as I read in other reviews. Beach was very nice, very little seaweed which was cleaned up daily. Honestly, I recommend the Serenade to anyone looking for a relaxing get away at a very  [... read more]nice, clean, safe resort.

Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort: Excellent Week

The hotel was very good. Nice rooms, nice pools , great beach. The food at the buffet was very good, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Always a good variety available. The a la cartes were generally good. Steak, Japanese were our favourite. Italian and Brazilian were fairly good. Only one we didn’t like was Mediterranean. We enjoyed our morning coffee at the coffee house and generally very pleased with the service of the staff. Do not believe the negative reviews we could definitely go back [... read more].

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Amazing Resort

Spectacular resort. Well-kept grounds, very nice beach. Food was amazing and the variety of items in the buffet to choose from was excellent. I really liked the fact that you didn't have to make reservations for the al-a-carte restaurants. The nightly entertainment was great. Couldn't ask for a better vacation.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Great resort

This resort has beautifully maintained grounds, the shared areas are very well maintained and there is always someplace to sit and enjoy the ambiance in the evenings. Wifi is great everywhere - even the beach. If you are able I suggest staying in building 5 which has a great view of the beach. We found the Italian restaurant the best, the Japanese restaurant food was salty and one note. The beach was fantastic and great for long walks.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Bahia principe Aquamarine

The resort was amazing at the aquamarine the service was impeccable. It was clean staff were courteous and polite and very helpful The food was amazing. The room was amazing. We really enjoyed ourselves and had a wonderful time We highly recommend the aquamarine!

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Good time

We enjoyed our trip, met many lovely people. Only one complaint and that is getting up early to get a chair, otherwise all was good. We have been to this location before when it was owned by a different owner and wanted to relive some memories.

Impressive Punta Cana: Great resort

We loved this resort. Great service, great food at the buffet with a variety of options, great entertainment! Pools and beach area are great as well. Would highly recommend. Coffee shop by the lobby is really good with excellent iced coffees.
