Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Relaxing vacation

We were a group of six with 3 rooms in the sunclub. Our room was a swim out. The rooms were clean and only had a couple days where our fridge didn’t get restocked. There is construction going on next door which was quite loud every day. Definitely impacted the enjoyment of the swim out room. There are plenty of food options and bars throughout the resort. The new no reservations for restaurants is super annoying as you can wait several hours to get seated. There seems to be staffing defic [... read more]it as we struggled to even get water at the buffets. Definitely a huge lack of lounge chairs around pools and at the beach. Ended up renting Bali beds a couple days.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Mould

Mould in the rooms made our clothes smell and made me sick. I was sick during my trip and got very ill upon my return. We smelled the entire time and we stunk up the airplane on the way home. We asked around because by day 2 we wanted another room - but everyone we spoke to was experiencing and complaining about the same thing. I have a lifelong allergy to mold and pre-existing health conditions, which were exacerbated during my time at the resort. Please go at your own risk!! It isn't worth  [... read more]your health. I am back at the doctors on Monday for another check up. And we paid $5200 CAD for one week :( And the service was not good. Everything else was perfect.

Paradisus Palma Real Golf and Spa Resort: Excellent resort!

I have been to many all-inclusive resorts over the years but this was my best experience by far. The resort is new, modern and beautiful. There are a lot of pools and a lot of variety of things to do, whether you're looking to party or just relax. The beach is amazing, lots of loungers with excellent thatch shades if you want to stay out of the sun. The beach also had a fantastic dedicated margarita bar. The food was excellent both at the buffet and the booked restaurants. There are a lot of ome [... read more]let stations for breakfast which is nice. We liked the Kanna outdoor restaurant for lunch as well. None of our party got the dreaded TD. We took a golf cart to the Casino, it is located at the adjacent sister resort, and we had a fabulous time there. The night-time entertainment was great in the main lobby area, as was the late night sports bar. Overall an excellent vacation and would highly recommend this resort!

Riu Palace Macao: GOOD RESORT BUT BOOKED WRONG 2 WEES.....

HOTEL FULL OF 20 OR LESS YEAR OLDS WHO RUINED THINGS FOR MANY REPEAT CUSTOMERS WHO WERE LOOKING FOR REST AND RELAXATION. BEACH BAR MILES SEEMED FROM THE LOUNGES ON THE BEACH. OUR ROOM WAS OVERLOOKING THE LOADING DOCK OF THE HOTEL NEXT DOOR. TRACTOR TRAILERS IN AND OUT AT ALL HOURS OF DAY AND NIGHT SO OUR BALCONY WAS NO REFUGE FROM THE DRUNK KIDS !!!!

Secrets Royal Beach: Amazing Resort

This resort could offer nothing more than we could want. We cannot wait to go back again. Starting off with a fabulous breakfast buffet!!! Love that you get a “pot of tea” with piping boiling water with hot milk. Then onto the great Coco Cafe offering delicious Lattes (with Baileys) and Mochas. Also many other selections along with snacks, both healthy and not so healthy. The pools were crystal clean, and usually a good selection of seating.

If beach was your thing, beautiful white sandy beaches that go for miles.

Paradisus Palma Real Golf and Spa Resort: Beautiful Resort

The hotel is modern & updated, beautiful appointed rooms & landscaping is well kept with lots of greenery. Great restaurants! Lots of daily activities, plenty of beach & pool loungers with lots of shade. One gift shop.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Outdated rooms, beautiful beach, good food, overall good

Outdated rooms, beautiful beach, good food, good entertainment, Bavaro beach fantastic quality and excellent games on the beach. Variety of food, number of restaurants and bars, entertainment all very good.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Resort worth coming back too!

We are a family of 3, one being a 15yr old and we all said we would be back. The grounds are beautifully, tranquil and well kept only negative is the stamped concrete cobblestone walkways. They are not luggage/stroller or handicap friendly and should you be barefoot, look out as it is slippery when wet and hot when dry. Unfortunately, the check in experience was not good. When we arrived, we were told we were going to be placed in a temporary room for 1 night in bldg. 25 which is for hotel me [... read more]mbers!! I was furious as we booked this vacation 3 months in advance, and their excuse was the hotel was full. I said you have known I'm coming for 3 months; I should have a room ready for me that I booked and not have to be moved the next day, wasting precious time of my limited 7 day stay. So be aware there is something shady like overbooking. The rooms are dated, but very clean no issues. One big complaint is the Theater music every night from 11 to midnight. We found it hard to get to sleep as you could hear the base thumping all the way down to the Tropical area which is the other side of the Mangroves. We spent an equal amount of time at both the pool and beach. -Lovely large pool, never crowded with lots of lounge chairs. -Absolutely stunning beach with lots of lounge chairs under grass beach umbrellas. Of course, no resort is complete without the dining experience. I have to say we were always able to find something at the buffets that we enjoyed. At the buffets some (not all) of the staff were not very attentive/friendly. We only went to 2 of the A La Carte restaurants and had a lovely meal and the staff were very top notch. One last note, we had late flight and check out is noon. So, the Melia provides ONLY 1 Courtesy room for all their guests with a shower. Which needs to booked in advance allowing you a 30 Min slot regardless of how many people are in your room. We were 3 people with a 30 min challenge for all to shower and change. I have been to many all-inclusive resorts that provided a big area with 4 to 6 showers with no time limit and no booking in advance requirement. Needless to say, I'm very disappointed with Melia and is an area they need to improve.

Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort Adults: 5/10 Would not recommend - will not return to this resort

We stayed at Melia Punta Cana Beach (adults only) from March 10-16th, 2026. Here is my honest review of the resort (I have stayed in at least 5 other resorts in the last 10 years and have never had an experience like this): The resort grounds are breathtaking. The landscaping has been thoughtfully designed and well-maintained. The beach area and ocean are beautiful. One of the best beaches I have had the pleasure of swimming in. The service was not that of a so-called 5 star resort;  [... read more]The staff spoke Spanish (I do understand this is their first language), and only in English (most times, reluctantly) if we asked them to. This I found very odd since they serve international travelers. It made us feel unwelcome. The cleaning personnel and maintenance staff did not speak any English at all, which made it difficult when making special room requests, such as changing our sheets (which we asked and did not get completed). I left a tip and note for the cleaning staff to change our sheets, and when we returned to the room, the note and cash were gone, and our room had not been cleaned. Upon further investigation, it turns out that the maintenance staff stocks the mini bar. We suspect they attended to our room first, stole the tip and advised the cleaning lady that we did not need room service. I was flabbergasted that this took place. 2 days in a row our room was not cleaned. Our room A/C would not blow less than 22 degrees, which was somewhat confirmable but would have preferred to have the option to set it to 20 to escape the heat outdoors. We had a maintenance person look at it, shrug his shoulders and leave. Dining: The breakfast and lunch buffet was a 5 out of 10 (and that's a stretch). The food was very low-quality. There were lots of options, but because of the quality, we ate omelets most mornings as they were the only thing that was sub-par. The buffet staff was very inconsistent with service. Sometimes, we would be seated, other times we had to seat ourselves. We had to take cutlery and napkins from other tables, as the staff did not keep up with replenishing the tables. It often took over 5 minutes for drink orders. Our plates were not cleared in a timely manner. The lunch offering was also disappointing and often completely depleted and not replenished before its 3 o'clock closure. Dinner (A La Carte) options were Asian (Muoi), Mediterranean (Mar-de-Sal), and BBQ (Yumai). The Asian restaurant was a 6/10, and the Mediterranean restaurant was an 8/10. We never got to eat at Yumai, as we were told the BBQ restaurant was completely booked all week, which we found odd as we were also told you could only book them 2 days in advance. Again, inconsistent service and communication from the staff. We were often made to feel like we were inconveniencing the workers if we had special requests. They were less than happy to help. The staff who book the a la carte restaurants (at the buffet) were unreasonably rude and impatient. We were pressured into upgrading to "Level" which had greater restaurant access and other perks. It was $800 per person. We quickly learned that if you are not a "Level" guest, you will be given sub-par service. It was a huge turn off for people like us who had already spent thousands of dollars to be there. The front desk staff were the most helpful but still not impressive. The language barrier was a struggle to manage as again; they spoke Spanish mainly and only English when asked. A helpful guest once had to translate for us. We booked a shuttle to the lobby for our flight and had to call when it did not arrive at our scheduled time. There are major communication issues among their teams. Asked the "Guest Services" agent to make a local call for us to confirm our flight shuttle. She dialed a number and shrugged her shoulders: "sorry no answer". Only after we pressed her, did she go to the front desk and miraculously found a number in which someone answered. Wild that this resort did not seem to a main point of contact for the tour companies who shuttle guests to and from their properties. I returned from this resort with sand mite bites all over my feet and legs that were diabolically itchy. I had to be prescribed a BTC antihistamine to reduce the severity. The Disco (nightclub named Muse) was amazing. The bartenders were friendly and spoke great English. The DJ's played great music, and the overall vibe was good. We spent three evenings there. The shows were a letdown. The resort does not have a theatre (on the adults only side) so the shows were performed at the lobby bar, in which there was minimal seating and not designed for a crowd. The reviews about the pool and beach chairs are accurate. Impossible to get a chair at either spot after 10am. The staff does not impose the 30-minute rule, although it is clearly stated both at the beach and the pool. What we did enjoy about the beach is that personal speakers were not allowed. If you're seeking peace and quiet, I would not recommend this resort. Our room faced adjacent construction and all we heard all week were beeping horns, loud machinery and trucks from sunup to sundown. Music was played all day at the pool and the beach, and constant music playing at the lobby and other common areas. Nowhere could you go on this property to hear nothing. The property is so big, it was not feasible to walk everywhere (it was a good 15-minute walk from the lobby to the beach/buffet). You had to shuttle to the beach, buffet, lobby, etc. Although we didn't mind, oftentimes the shuttles were disorganized. Sometimes waiting up to 10 minutes to be picked up. Again, "Level" guests got better shuttle service. Overall, I would give this resort a 5/10. I will not be returning to any Melia property in the future. Buyer beware.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Amazing Vacation

Majestic Colonial is a wonderful resort. Beautiful beach, lush grounds, amazing friendly staff. Food was great. Rooms are lovely, just tired. We were told the resort is closing for renovations, after they are done this will be an amazing place to vacation. Upgraded to Colonial Club and had a great experience. Had a wonderful butler, Willnier. Would recommend!

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Loved Sunscape Coco!

The entertainment staff were amazing, Coca-Cola and Timon were non-stop the whole time we were there and were very good at engaging with all of the guests, no matter what the guest's primary language was. The dancers, musicians and singers were amazing, a different show every night. They did a really good job of adapting when the shows were moved inside because of the weather. The food was amazing! There were long waits at the a la carte restaurants, so we went to the buffet for every m [... read more]eal and were very happy to do so. Dinner options changed every night, so there was a good variety to chose from. The workers there are amazing as well; a shoutout to Grimil who took care of us every night, making sure we found a good table and keeping our drinks topped up. He was a real sweetheart. And to the pasta station as well who remembered my order after just a couple of nights. I would say the one that that may need improvement is the housekeeping. Some days our room wasn't cleaned until after 5:00 p.m., which made it tricky if we wanted to go back to the room for anything in the middle of the day. But other than that, we would love to go back again. The location is amazing too, a perfect distance from the airport so no long bus ride to and from, so you can maximize your time at the resort.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Amazing, above and beyond!

Everything is amazing, including all the staff who are always willing to help. The buffet was also great with tons of options. The entertainment team Veronica, Sharina and others are superhumans! They work really hard to arrange activities throughout the day and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The Waterpark was a surprise for me so I made the most of it! One of my most luxurious vacations for sure

Viva Miches by Wyndham: 3 star at the best

A new hotel that has so much potential but is failing in so many categories Mediterranean restaurant 5/5 Beach 5/5 Location3/5 Staff 3/5 Buffet 2/5 Internet 1/5 Management 1/5 Always bothered and never left alone by sales associates trying to get you to buy into Viva

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Love the Catalonia in Punta Cana

The hotel is very nice. It’s clean and well kept. The staff is friendly and helpful. The beach is perfect. The water is calm and seaweed is cleaned daily. The food is decent and there’s lots of variety. The only downfall is there are not designated smoking areas so people walk around freely and smoke on the grounds, on room patios/balconies, around pools, bars and the beach. As a non smoker it’s very disruptive.

Riu Palace Macao: A great stay!

My husband and I stayed for a week at this resort and loved it! The beach was beautiful. The pools were great, and there was an endless assortment of food and drinks. We could not have asked for a better stay! We would highly recommend this hotel!

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Mediocre

Room smelt very bad and there was black mould. Our shower wouldn’t drain and had no hot water (resolved). The water park is a great feature. No reservations for restaurants is absolutely ridiculous. Cookie is cute (the parrot)

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Decent Resort

Average resort. The good parts are that there is alot of things to do....lazy river, splash pad, mini golf, flowrider surf simulator, multiple pools. Rooms are average at best. They are showing some wear and tear and generally not as clean as we would like. Floors were definitely not mopped every day.. hair in the sink.... hair and dust balls in the corners. They have very old wooden doors which have a gap between the doors and jams. Lets light in and you hear every sound in the ha [... read more]llways... Biggest complaint would be the food....breakfast and lunch choices were great, but dinner was terrible. Tried all of the a la cartes and we really only thought Grazie was good....the rest were below average... always cold and always overcooked. The reservation system on the app is a disaster. If you could get a reservation sometimes the restaurant would have it...sometimes they would not. I also question the reservation system which would say all the restaurants were booked but we would walk by and half the tables would be empty and we ask if we could get a table and they would say no. Average beach area.....lots of chairs but the water area is not very big. I would sum up this resort as dissappointing.

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Good, mid-range resort

The rooms were quite nice, but be aware that requests made in advance (e.g., 2 queen beds instead of a king; swim-up) may not be honoured when you check in. Food was adequate but service was slow. No food/snack options at the beach…a snack cart would be a great addition. The resort does not enforce the no-reserving-chairs or the non-smoking policies. Pool chairs were usually all taken by 7am and beach chairs by 8:30. Overall, the resort seems understaffed
