Occidental Caribe: Rooms accommodations, nightmare

The hotel grounds was beautiful. The beach was clean. The poolside had lounging areas that was quite accessible. The rooms were less than desirable. my experience. Upon arrival once we got to room, we immediately had to return to front desk to change rooms which ultimate had to be done 4 times for several different reasons. Example the lights did not work, the bathrooms were disgustingly, dirty, the sliding door to the balcony did not lock due to locks were broken the bedsheets had brown marks  [... read more]all over them, I would definitely 100% never recommend this hotel to anyone personally I would never go back to that hotel. The staff was amazing the entertainment I give it a 60% could be better. When booking my vacation I did my research and this particular hotel was rated 4 1/2 star my opinion it was a one star at the most.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Regular Resort. Staff were cordial & helping.

I had to change room three times in a week. Room, provided to me, had damp smell & full of mosquitoes Also in one of the room, shilling had a leek in the bathroom. SHOWER WAS not up to standard. Outside architect of the Resort was amazing & beautiful. Another thing, we realized that "Privilege members" were provided better service than us. Once by mistake we were sitting on the beach in "Privilege Area" , the security guard came and told us to move out of that area. We felt really insulted.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Elegance amazing!

Resort is beautiful. We stayed in the adults only section, so we had a butler (Juan) who was amazing. Staff are friendly and customer service oriented. A la carte dinners were also wonderful. It was the right sized resort for our family.

Riu Republica: Fantastic Experience

Great food, drinks, rooms, service, decent entertainment, beautiful beach, what more could you ask for? Also very happy they weren't playing COVID theatre. Not a mask in sight made it truly a vacation and not a stressful showcase of people playing 'pandemic'. Thank you Riu!

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Gorgeous Resort

The Royalton Bavaro is a gorgeous resort, beautiful rooms, good food and lots of great entertainment. However, we booked in Oct./22 and requested side by side adjoining rooms and a crib. We were travelling with family with 2 small grandchildren.We were told days before we arrived on Jan. 27/23 that the only way to guarantee this was to pay $100 US extra per room. When we arrived not only we didn't get adjoining rooms, we were on different floors. We finally paid more $350 US to move on the first [... read more] floor to be side by side with a swim out pool. Nothing else was available, apparently. As amazing as this resort is, be aware you have to pay for adjoining rooms. Also, hot tubs are not hot, not even warm.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Worth it

The resort itself is well taken care of. The staff go out of there way for you. The food is excellent and diverse in both flavors and type.We had a swimup room which exceeds expectation. No problems with checking or check out.

Temptation Miches Resort 21 Plus: First time at Temptations and loved it!

This was our first trip to Temptations. It was amazing and I don't know where to begin. It was at 40% capacity. -1 hour and 10 min from airport-loved the scenic ride-grabbed 2 Presidente each for the ride. "Check in was easy and we met Alejandro (butler) immediatley and he took us to our room. He was amazing the entire time we were there. We are not a couple that ever utilizes the "butler" but ALEJANDRO was the BEST. He made us feel comfortable and he was just so personable. He checked in eve [... read more]ry morning and one morning I wasn't feeling well ( this might be TMI but I had a bladder infection) He said he could help me and he went to the pharmacy to get me antibiotics and brought them to me right away! ( had no idea we could even get antibiotics without a prescrption-anyway he was a life saver!) There were no small bills available at the front desk and I mentioned to him so he got some for us when he went home. This guy was just amazing and so kind! The room- AC was perfect, the bed wa so comfortable and I loved the sheets and pillows. They even had a night service where they would ask if we needed extra towels or anything! We had a swim up in building 4 which I loved because we go to the beach till 3 or 4 pm and then the sun is on our deck all afternoon till sun goes down. Morning we like to have coffee on the deck and the sun is on building 5 and 6 at that time. So we did use room service every day :). The food-was amazing. I loved all the restaurants and yes the morning buffet had lots to choose from (hard time to get butter) The SHE restaurant had fantastic food and a very unique dining experience-be sure to make your reservation! The staff-my Goodness everyone was so pleasant and friendly-by far the BEST SERVICE we have encountered and we have been to 7 different DR resorts. We are not the outgoing couple that talks to people and yet they would remember our names, say hello, ask if we needed anything, joked around. The play makers, Wanda, Popeye, Spicy, Bartender at beach Glennys (love her) waiter Deilin, all the hostesses, the maseuse, Julianna-I wish I could remember everyones names! Entertainment-so we were here for 10 days and only went out 2 nights LOL ( Burning Land and Latin night) it does not start unti 10:30. I did enjoy the shows and I loved seeing the resort guests go all out with their outfits and costumes. The day time pool events were so much fun to watch. It really is the same as any other fun resort except the adult pool bar games are hillarious and fun to watch. The beach-my favourite part. we walked down the beach every day, one day we walked for 1 1/2 hrs one way and the turned around to come back-bring your yetti! The horses would run up the beach randomly and not once did we see poop( weird) and the dogs seem so socialized and well behaved, even the ones further down the beach. I went into the ocean almost every day. I would definitely return.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Caribe Beach resort review

Accommodations for seniors with mobility issues not satisfactory. Request for ground floor accommodations denied for Seniors 80+ who had issues with stairs. Trip with family resulted in parties at opposite ends of resort. This was at times challenging as resort very large. Use of a trolly recommended. Resort itself was beautiful. Dining options were good. Resort would suit younger persons.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: A great resort

Overall, a very nice resort. Ideal for families and large groups, lots to do on the resort for everybody. Good restaurants and food was good, but not dynamic, but had lots of food. Once you are familiar with the layout, it is easy to get around. Staff was excelleent, friendly, very accommodating and very polite. Easy check-in and any problems encountered were not an issue with the staff. I highly recommend the resort for vacations.

Occidental Caribe: Very disappointed

Where do I begin. The first room I had, the door jam was broken (as if it had been kicked in), the room was not clean, tables had sticky surface, bathroom wasn’t clean, (pubic hairs everywhere) safe didn’t work. The building itself required some TLC, the grounds and pool areas were great. I ended up upgrading my room which was in much cleaner, although it had a musty smell. There was a shortage of towels and some days I had to find someone from house keeping to get a towel to shower. The [... read more] food was disappointing, very bland and limited variety. There was a shortage of lounge chairs for both the pool and beach had to get up at 5am to get a longe chair. I was also surprised that most of the staff spoke very little English which communication difficult. Bottom line I feel this property is not 4 star, definitely not worth the price paid. Would definitely not return to this resort.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Very Good Resort

Onyx is a large complex but its layout leaves a lot of space. The well designed, low architecture does not overwhelm. This is a family resort. We enjoyed the presence of happy families with cheerful kids. The beach is long and wide with sandy access to the water. There are waves practically every day but this allows great body surfing and water play close to the shore. For good swimmer there is about 500m distance to cover along the shoreline. Extra bonus was our full access to the nearby adults [... read more] only resort - Breathless. All restaurants in the Onyx complex do not require reservation and some form of dress code adds to the ambience of this resort.

Grand Bavaro Princess: Nice resort

property was well taken care of, rooms were clean and very comfortable, platinum buffet food was cold but main buffet food was always warm lots to choose from and staff very friendly, beach was kept clean, pool bartenders and waitresses very friendly. not much for night life, resort was large and shuttles were always full,especially at supper time as you have people coming from beach and pools so hard to get a ride.

Grand Bavaro Princess: the resort was beautiful

The grounds were gorgeous and I loved all of the wildlife. My one complain is that it was difficult to get sugar free soda. None of the restaurants seemed to have it I got coca cola zero at one bar and in my room only had it one day and was replaced with regular coca cola. Being a diabetic as I am sure thousands of travellers are it is a necessary item.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Great resort!

The resort was beautifully maintained. The trolly ran all the time and it is need based on the size of the resort. The only issue we had were the location of the rooms. We were assigned a room on the 3rd floor of our building and I found it extremely difficult to climb the stairs with a bad knee. We asked to be moved but the hotel would not accommodate us. This forced me to walk less due to the pain from climbing the stairs.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Amazing Resort

Everything was great. We encountered some issues upon check-in. We paid for Colonial Club and we were issued a regular room. We were compensated with Spa time. We were to stay 1 night in regular room. When we went to check in the next day to the proper room they said tomorrow. We put our foot down and 1/2 hr later they magically found us a room in Colonial Club.

Occidental Punta Cana: Spotless and we'll maintained

The resort was beautiful. Staff were constantly cleaning and working on maintenance. There were gorgeous flowers everywhere. The food in the restaurants was delicious. Serving staff were friendly and helpful.

Riu Republica: Excellent resort

The positive of Riu: good quality and quantity of food; good personnel; overall resort was very well maintained. The only negative is the overly loud music. Even though there are pools without music, the neighboring pools music was so loud that it permeated the quiet pools. It is an adult only resort, but young adults that like loud music. We are adult seniors.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Wonderful place to stay!

The staff were friendly, funny and very accommodating. The resort is beautiful and easy to get around. The beach is fantastic and immaculate. Food was great! If anyone has anything bad to say about their stay here, they are wrong.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Awesome Vacation Resort!

This resort has spacious, clean and well kept rooms with great housekeeping staff. The food at the buffet, a la cartes and snack bar is better than any resort I have ever vacationed at before. The pool is very large and can accommodate many people. Relaxing at the beach was great, however, the beach itself has eroded due to weather. The only draw back, this is not the resorts fault, is that patrons reserve loungers with their towels at the pool and beach, but do not use them. This causes a  [... read more]shortage for other patrons. If you want to use a lounger, you have to be at the pool by 7 am. We would definitely return to this resort for another vacation!

Temptation Miches Resort 21 Plus: Surprised it is new...

Room: dirty, cigarette burns on the carpet, shoddy workmanship, pubic hair on the floor never cleaned. Seems like they rushed the finishing work (ie, grout slopped and left to dry on top of tiles, paint sloppy, doors not installed properly. I had to fix the toilet on first night as it was not installed properly) Food: Very good overall. Pools: discusting, dirty swampy water, broken tiles. Beach: beautiful, Sandy, no seaweed. Staff: friendly and helpful for the most part. Location [... read more]: pretty area, mountains nearby. 1.5 hr drive approx from airport.
