Occidental Caribe: Would not recommend

I am not impressed with this resort at all the rooms are so bad that they have leaks and broken safe and fridge and television. The line ups everywhere are just ridiculous. It’s unfortunate that for the first few days there I saw the maintenance man more than the bartender that you have to wait 10-15 minutes for a drink that tastes like garbage. We had blood stains on our sheets When we asked for a new room they said there were none. However when we spoke to others that had near the same issue [... read more]s got a new room and it was upgraded!!!! Not impressed with my vacation at all, I always go to Cuba and someone recommended punta Cana which cost me near 500$ more per person!!! Looks like Cuba is my go to!!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Beautiful Grounds!

The hotel grounds are gorgeous, and the buffet food & beach are mediocre but a la cartes are good. Alcoholic beverages are just okay-too syrupy. A LOT of seniors at this resort and evening entertainment boring except for the Dominican Night. Rooms need a THOROUGH cleaning and upgrading! Water pressure in shower and TV options could be improved.

Playabachata Hotel: Won't be back

The service was awful. The first night the toilet was plugged and we called down several times and no one came. No beach chairs unless you get down to the ocean VERY early. Both my husband and I got sick there.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Good stay

Great trip overall. Friendly helpful staff. Wish we could have swam in the ocean which was impossible due to high waves and lots of moss. As well, wish there was better variety with the food. Would return back though !

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Great value for price!

First time in Punta Cana and it was a great time. Food was awesome, grounds were beautiful and overall it was fun. The rooms were a bit tired - but clean. I would recommend requesting to stay in building 3 or 4 on the club package. It's worth it and those seem to be best location. The beach was nice, waters were wavy and a bit deep- but the sand was cleaned daily!

Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort Spa and Casino: Gorgeous Resort

Amazing resort! Stunning grounds, lush, beautiful landscaping. Resort layout, structure, pools etc. well thought out, modern rooms, gorgeous design. Excellent value for the money. Five star. Wonderful coffee. Service top notch.

Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Resort is Okay

The resort is Okay. Nothing really stands out in my opinion. The rooms was ok, the food is ok but not great. The only way I would book this resort again is if I got an amazing deal. The best part of the resort is the beach.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Good but need more work to return to recover state

I think that both hotel and other services (room especially) need improvement. We went here as we have been before but service is not yet at that level of pre Covid.Room was cleaned but a lot of mosquitoes inside, toilet holder broken, shampo holder didn’t work, tub with stains or damaged, tv hardly could see any program in English. Reception seems very slow and hardly helpt to get any information if needed. We booked with trip central and nexus tour was supposed to complete transfer from airpor [... read more]t to resort and back but they were unreachable no information was provided to us. In the resort was really hard to get coffe and drinks ( beer) because either coffe mascines were not ready or in very small number in restaurants. We had to ask waiters to bring water, coffe or beer and in some cases we hardly get it or got it at the end of meal. Pool was very crowded and hardly could find place to sit unless you wake up early. The place is good but not sure if I will go again. Thanks

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Nice to be home again

A bit of rain this trip but so nice to see all our friends who work at the resort. Grounds are kept impeccable . The grounds keepers are constantly making improvements. The entertainment crew go above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Thanks Skinny, Pollo, Monkey Black, Dora and Sky. In the buffet Nunez, Wanda and Juan Pablo made sure we were well looked after. Our morning "special" coffees were always perfect thanks to the girls in Legends. Special thanks to our friend Robin, who always lo [... read more]oks after our every needs at booking and making sure we get the perfect room. See you again in 44 days woohoo.

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Great resort

Was in the adult section with privelidge up grade. The resort has many areas of interest that will keep you busy ie bowling, sports bar, lazy river which was amazing, plus much more. No problem getting palapas on the beach or around the many pools. The rooms and balconies were a good size clean and tidy. The food was a mixed bag, but always something that would work. The areas that need improvement would to have a descent lounge for the priveledge guests. The adult section needs a bigger v [... read more]ariety of food at its snack bar ie fried chicken hamburgers hot dogs etc for lunches. Other then that I would recommend this resort 5 Star for families and 4 for adults.

Playabachata Hotel: Average resort

Grounds were beautiful, beach was nice. Most of the staff were very friendly. A la cartes were not great and the buffet food was good but it was the same thing every day. They could use a hostess as we often went to dinner and searched endlessly for a clean table. Rooms are dated but clean. No beer in the minibar

Serenade All Suites Adults Only Resort: Great adult only resort

Hotel was excellent,beach was large and always easy to find space and chairs,staff were very attentive,secirity kept beach sellers to the outskirts of the beach area,rooms were good,food was good and very easy to find different items by switching locations. Overall great experience

Playabachata Hotel: Value for money

We stayed at the Playa Bachata for 9 days this time. Although this hotel is a little older, it is clean and well maintained. I love how easy it is to get around, the restaurant, bar, pool and beach are all close together. WIFI only available in lobby and pool/bar area, but not in rooms. The rooms are basic, but clean and come with a safe. All buildings are only 2 stories tall and there are nice big balconies on all the rooms. No alcohol in the rooms only water coke and 7-up (next time I will pic [... read more]k up something from duty free to have in the room). Loungers on the beach were a bit of an issue, people get up early and claim them, and we ended up having to do the same so we weren’t sitting on the sand. Beach is clean and lots of shade. We spent most of our time there rather than at the pool where they had all the games and fun. There is no swim up bar if you are a person who likes that. This resort connects to 2 others, you can use some of the amenities at all three. I loved Caribbean street where you can get gelato, good coffee and pizza if you need a snack in the afternoon. The buffet is available for all meals. Lots of options, and we were very happy with the food. Our plates were full every day with salads, pork, chicken, rice beans, plantain, avocado- I personally would not recommend the wine. There was also pasta, pizza and fries available. The shows at night were very popular, but we’d seen them before. A couple of nights they had a guy playing guitar in the courtyard, and he was great. This is also where the disco is at night. I love that the disco is not enclosed, I just wish they would update their playlist a bit. They tend to play the same music all the time. The DJ isn’t the best, but he took requests. Highly recommend the Saturday night beach party. The main bar is open 24 hours. Alcohol is not top shelf or even middle shelf, but the mojitos and beer were flowing. A great time for a week away!

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Punta Cana: Good times at Hard Rock Punta Cana

Pros: lots of activities for kids and adults, water park, kids club, kids pool, lots of food and drink options (Zen - Teppanyaki, Toro - Steakhouse, Stacked - burgers, The Split - subs were all great), beach was beautiful and lots of different pools to choose from depending on what vibe you’re interested in, nice, comfortable accommodations (we had a 1 bedroom suite in building 5B), room service is a plus Cons: the lobby area is really loud with music in each different bar/store turned up t [... read more]o full volume and everyone trying to talk over it, the beach is beautiful but the resort faces the Atlantic Ocean so it was really rough. The red flag was out 6 of the 7 days. We didn’t like the hard sell for the “VIP breakfast” after check-in. This is basically them trying to sell you a timeshare. Same thing happened at check out where they were offering a “coupon” for a discounted future stay but they try to pressure you into making a decision 20 minutes before you’re leaving the resort to go home. The minibar is supposed to be restocked each day but we called 4 times, they only came twice. The resort is HUGE so there is lots of walking or waiting for shuttles (the shuttles worked well for us). Food at Ipanema was cold and not very good - that’s the only restaurant I wouldn’t recommend. Watch out for the people on the beach with animals (monkey, parrots, iguana) offering to take pictures. They put the animals on you before saying how much they expect to be paid and then pressure you to pay $120 USD by cash, venmo or PayPal. Overall we really enjoyed our vacation at the Hard Rock Punta Cana!

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: My Home away from Home

Ive been returning to Casa for many years now and will still return. The staff are great and the rooms are nothing fancy but adequate for my needs. The food is good but alittle lacking in variety but being right in sosua allows you to try many of the excellent restaurants nearby. The pools on the reef are my favourite place to hang out. Overall for the money is a great. I give Casa Marina a thumbs up.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Nice resort

Staff is very friendly room are ok. Washroom need renovation. Beach was great. Food was really good. The mall behind the resort was great to shop in. This will be my third time at this resort. I would go back again

Occidental Caribe: Occidental Caribe

Karol Kim and I book a trip with you Jan 19/24 till Jan 28/24 to Punta cana Occidental Caribe. It was are first time with Transat and all inclusive very disappointed first they told us the plane would be delayed for 10 minutes after an hour and 30 minutes we finally left they never ask us if we would like to have something to drink. Arriving to the hotel we have to stay in line to registered it took us 1 hour and a half before we got served then the lady at the desk told us to go eat somethin [... read more]g and to come back and then she would give us are room number so we did but when we came back for the second time it took us another 1 hour and a half before getting our room number it was so hot I didn't feel good at all I thought I was going to pass out finally we got are room but the card didn't work go back down stairs wait another 15 minutes Finally go back to the room at this point we we're so exhausted didn't have time to examine the room we went straight to bed. Next day we realize that we didn't have any towels and the room was not too clean. Because we pay extra to upgrade that we were supposed to have beer in the fridge slippers and bathrobe we didn't have nothing like that. Food keep repeating lunch supper was cool no taste I had better food on a cruise. Language barrier they should have more people speak English and French. Very disappointed customer it was our first experience all inclusive and didn't like it at all we did 4 cruises and never been disappointed it would take a miracle for us to do this again. I know nothing will come out of this but I'm sure the media would be interesting to find out about our experience. Very disappointed customers

VIK Hotel Arena Blanca: Great resort!

Resort is a little outdated and need of minor repairs, granted a hurricane was just through in late fall, but still could use a face lift. Lobby chairs, plastic and some people did not feel safe sitting on them. Beach area was a disaster, but again hurricane damage. Pools, not bad but one was closed, not sure why but the one that was open was good. Great place if you are there to relax and not do much. The usual excursions but pricy. Food was excellent! Never had a bad meal. Great staff e [... read more]ager to help, but language barrier is there.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: truly amazing resort
