Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Great stay at Melia Caribe

Spent a great week mid November. Had a family room beachside - renovated, clean, spacious - plenty of towels and amenities provided each day. Resort is big but covered in luscious greenery and ponds and we did not mind the walking. We spent most of our time at the beach - beautiful white sand, never had an issue finding spot we liked. There was a bit of sea weed during our stay (weather related) but was cleaned every day. Food - we were able to make a reservation to a different ala carte re [... read more]staurant each night (except arrival day) so tried most available (we did not stay at the Level so not tried the one restaurant ). Each dinner had something we liked a lot and something a bit less. Least favorite was the Mexican, which is mostly buffet and we found the plated meal uninspiring. Best was Casa Nostra and Spanish. Overall quality of food was good, which aligned with our expectations (did not go there for gourmet food). Service - amazing! Every member of staff we encountered was helpful and smiling. Overall - this is a big and beautiful resort with many different food options and welcoming staff.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Not my favorite resort

If you have children between ages 10 to 17 there is not much for them to do. Bowling, pool and the pirate ship water park are not included in the all-inclusive resort. $15 person per game to bowl seems a little expensive to me. The food was alright out of 7 days I got bacon once and had to ask for it, it wasn't a help your self to it. The sand fleas were really bad, I was covered in bites so don't forget your bug spay. And finally the bartenders were just doing their job. No smiles no fun, no [... read more] thrill to be at there job whether you tip or not. Seemed to me like the tips don't go into theirs pockets! The hotel is clean and the grounds are kept nice. One more thing if you don't like to do alot of walking then this place isn't for you.

Iberostar Selection Coral Bavaro: Good time

Had a good time at the resort. Reservations required for dinner, without knowing which restaurant, menu, and time would be available only problem. Entertainment was so-so. Seaweed on the beach made the beach time unenjoyable.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Excellent Resort and Amazing

The resort was absolutely A+. From start to finish we were taken care off. Very clean, superb service, very friendly staff. The restaurants and food was great lots of variety. The Bar services and room services were Alonso wonderful.

Punta Cana Princess: Wonderful resort!

The resort is low key, adults only with fabulous staff. If you are looking for a quiet, small resort, this would be your choice. It is a true 4+ star with a beautiful beach and large pool. We are repeat guests X12 and will be returning again next year.

Grand Bavaro Princess: Great resort

It was our first time to Dominican & we had a great experience. We upgraded to Platinum and were served with a delicious cold beverage upon arrival. The Platinum pool bar was where we spent most of our days. The bartenders were amazing and really took care of us. The beach overall was very nice but there was a lot of seaweed and we were approached often for excursions, spa packages and photos. The beach is on a long strip of other resorts. The a la carte restaurants overall were very good, espec [... read more]ially the steakhouse and teppanyaki. Upgrading to Platinum gave us the option to make reservations at the restaurants. The crepes & coffee at the Frappuccino bar were the highlight of my afternoons. The staff were very friendly and the facilities were always clean. The only complaints I have about the resort are our room was never cleaned during the day and the water was not hot in the shower. We would leave our rooms around 8am and return around 4pm to a room that was not cleaned & no clean towels. I requested several days in a row for our room to be cleaned early in the day but it was not done. Some days it was not cleaned at all because it was too late in the day. Nonetheless, I would most likely return to this resort and I highly recommend it to others.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Mixed experience

This resort is one of 5 clustered together with a total of 6000 guests! We didn’t know that going in, so pools and the beach were extremely crowded. Some staff were nice, others not so, and many spoke little or no English. Buffet food was good, à la carte restaurants were mixed. Most food was heavily salted. Avoid the so called Brazilian! Grounds are beautiful and lush, but off resort poverty and garbage everywhere are common. Tipping is expected. We would NOT return.

Riu Palace Bavaro: Excellent Resort

Hotel staff, restaurants, grounds and rooms were all very nice. We were upgraded to the Villa after a small incident. I would highly recommend the Villa for a more quieter vacation. Sunwing representative communication was great. The only issue was a huge delay at the Toronto airport upon departure to Dominican Republic.

Excellence Punta Cana: Excellence?

Almost like Covid doesn’t exist in the resort,airports and transfers. Extremely disappointed with the food in this supposed 5 star resort. We noticed it had declined at Excellence Playa Mujeres as well. Much worse here though as steak in all restaurants is tough and hardly able to cut, let alone eat. Lobster was overcooked and also chewy. Breakfast was always cold unless you had your eggs made to order. Bacon,toast,waffles,pancakes,everything cold at Magna, Lobster house and Kitchen table. Dr [... read more]inks were only good at Magna, for the price of this resort, the drinks and food should be great at ALL restaurants and bars. Especially when upgrading to excellence club. Turndown service happened once in 8 days. Day staff was good and night staff. Entertainment was cheesy at best every night.Totally mislead by all the positive reviews on this place. Time for a real review. This place has basically turned us off from the all inclusive brands. Definitely not worth the money. Sorry, we started coming to Excellence for the top notch food and drinks which are very important to an expensive 5 star holiday. Punta Cana does not compare to Mexico or other Caribbean islands……will not return.

TRS Turquesa: Nice and quiet.

Swim up rooms are very peaceful and quiet. The bed was super comfortable. Some of the food was excellent. Beautiful landscaping. Felt very safe. Everything was clean. Butler's were very helpful. Great vacation.

Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort: Great resort! Highly recommend

We were a group of 14 who travelled to Grand Sirenis Punta Cana. Great resort! Nice beaches, great staff and activities for all, including for the kids! Food was delicious and rooms were clean! Will definitely go back again.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Amazing Resort.

The room was a junior suite and was quite nice. There are like 4 other resorts in the same area that you can visit if you want they do have mini golf carts to drive people around to and from of the hotels and the ocean. My favourite part was the food and the pool. I would go again to this resort. My stay was seamless.

Vista Sol Punta Cana: So confortable and quiet Junior Suite !!!

We love to stay in the Junior Suite !!! Amazing !!! the staff was SUPER!!! Great Holidays for me and my husband !!! Food very good !!! The beer and wine ..also good !!! The beach ...winderful !!! Good security at the hotel !!!

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Love the Mirage

This was our 3rd time at a Majestic resort; we've stayed at the Colonial and the Excellence before and they are good but the Mirage is really a step up. Food is excellent at all places, but it was nice at the Mirage to not need reservations at most restaurants. The staff everywhere were terrific and the pool area well maintained. We knew the resort was busy but we never had trouble finding lounge chairs or beds. An amazing vacation that we needed very badly!

Tropical Deluxe Princess: Excelente!!!!

This resort fully met all our expectations. We found the food was excellent in presentation, variety and taste. Our room was as requested in a quiet area and again exceeded our expectations. The ocean, the pools and the general grounds were well groomed. Everything was clean and orderly. The best thing about the resort in our opinion is the staff. They are excellent workers who exhibit kindness and warmth. I believe the administration must treat them well as they are a happy lot. Upon our arriva [... read more]l we met the resident manager Alberto Gomez who was very kind to us and never failed to come over to see how we were whenever we encountered each other. He was constantly all over the resort ensuring that all was running smoothly .Although the lobby, theater, ice creamery, and other shops are a 10-15 minute walk from the rest of the resort they provide a 24 hour shuttle service that keeps running between the two areas with a wait time of just a few minutes. If you prefer to walk this distance you will enjoy a tropical paradise of plants, birds and reptiles. We would definitely holiday here again and highly recommend this resort. Thank you Tropical Princess...Gayle and George

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Exceeded all expectations

Amazing resort. Spotlessly clean and manicured even shortly after a recent hurricane. The room was spacoius and had everything we needed. The staff were all excellent as were the restaurants. We especially enjoyed the service from our butler Francisco, and Kennedy at the gourmet restaurant. The room was cleaned well every day and we always had frsh towels.

Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort Adults: Vacation at Melia Punta Cana - The Level - Oct 30 - Nov 6, 2022

Upon arriving at the resort we were warmly greeted by the staff, and were assigned a concierge, Joel Perez, who was very personable, attentive and helpful in making dinner/spa reservations and answering all our questions. He checked in with us several times each day to ensure we were well taken care of. The resort itself is gorgeous, super clean, and all the staff encountered during the day were all very helpful and polite. Unfortunately, the beach was full of seaweed, which is a problem on the  [... read more]entire Bavaro beach at this time. We used the pools, which were all pristine. The only downside was the food. All the buffets carried pretty much the same ordinary food and we were expecting a little more variety and better quality. We had one unedible dinner at one of the restaurants. We were disappointed that there were no seafood selections (except for a few shrimp in some dishes we ordered), and the fruit selection was not the best. Cooks don't seem like they are formally trained, except maybe the head chef at the Quimera restaurant.....he knows how to grill a perfect steak. The emphasis at this resort is on the quality of service and cleanliness, but the selection of meals leave a lot to be desired.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Needs work,cleaning and food

I have been to grand Bahia principe ,thought I would chose esmeralda, not at all what was expected, buffet needs work,second buffet jazmin not open ,disappointed with Brazilian al a carte, Has to ask for clean towels daily,not impressed.group of 5 with 2 teenagers, given alcohol before checking wrist band..trouble...put next to kids water park ,not impressed

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Relaxing Escape

The first resort that we have ever stayed at with a lazy river. That alone is worth returning! So much fun! The rooms are spacious, ours came with a rooftop hot tub! With 2 large pools (4 if you count the family side of the resort) and the specialty restaurants were all great. The buffet was also a place to fill up too, if you wished. And then there was Mike's Cafe. Every night we would stop in for some freshly brewed coffee and dessert. The staff were very friendly, and always w [... read more]elcomed us with a warm buenos días or hola! We would definitely return to El Faro (we stayed at the Adults Only side called El Beso) again! One of our most relaxing vacations.

TRS Turquesa: Beautiful resort

I would recommend this adults only resort. The grounds are beautiful, numerous restaurants to choose from, 2 larger pools plus the pools off the swim-up rooms. The rooms are huge and we are provided with wrist band keys. So convenient. Of course, no resort is perfect. I do not recommend the sports bar to eat, only to watch a game. The buffets have a hard time keeping the food hot, or even warm. If you are looking for nightly entertainment, this isn't the place for you, unless you lik [... read more]e mellow sounds. Overall, I would return.
