Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Give a 3 star

Beautiful view but staff are rude not much to do at this resort beach was closed for 7 days overall not a great place food was ok same everyday do not recommend this resort at all hotel is really run down

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Clean and friendly resort

This resort was just the right size for us. It was extremely clean and staff were very friendly. The rooms could stand to be modernized but for the amount of time spent in a room, they were good. The food was great and we had no issues reserving the a la cartes. I would return to this resort.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Worst Vacation Ever

I have been travelling the Caribbean for 30 years. Blue Bay Villas Dorado is by far the worst resort I have ever stayed in. If it were free I would never stay again. Our room flood completely two nights in a row, 6 inches of water. NO COMPENSATION! Told we can’t help if it t rains. Food was awful, resort is very poorly layer out.

Riu Bambu: Riu Bambu

Hello ? It was my second time at Riu Bambu, amazing resort, very clean, the food was fresh and great variety to choose from. Shows for kids and adults every night, lots of fun. Everyone is very friendly and helpful....going back again ?✈️

Playabachata Hotel: Resort was garbage,

The resort was garbage and would NEVER recommend it, staff not friendly unless tipping them, but place was clean. Food was not that great. Only had one pool and it had ladders NO stairs at all to get into pool. Pool with stairs closed over a year ago something the travel agent Joanna should have known about and not recommend this this PlayaBacahta resort. People smoking inside lobby even though no smoking signs were posted all over lobby. Front desk staff or customer service was not helpful [... read more] or didn't seem to care when asked to switch rooms to something closer for my 75 yr old mom so had to walk far to get to the dining hall. Do not book with Trip Central, Joanna Latimer, her service was awful, she told me this resort was everything I needed for traveling with 3 ladies 60, 65 and 75. Joanna just booked our trip and then basically left me to figure things out myself, very stressful. Overall was the worst vacation ever!

Emotions by Hodelpa Juan Dolio: Amazing Resort

Everything was awesome. I was just curious what the Coraila Club is? We were told we couldn't play bingo because it was for the French. Everything else was amazing. The food, drinks, staff, entertainment, pools, beach, and rooms.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Overall A Great Experience

I went down to the Wyndham Alltra to meet family members for a five day trip. Check-in is very easy, I ended up paying extra halfway through my trip and upgrading to the poolside rooms. Highly recommend it because you don’t have to try and nab a lawn chair early in the morning as they go fast. With the poolside rooms you get to stroll in and out of your room easily and you have your own lawn chairs. The pool goes forever. You can walk up and down and swim and hey plenty of exercise.

I never did go to the steakhouse. I really enjoyed the Mexican Al La Carte. The pizzas were great at the snack bar as a mid afternoon snack. My brother had the VIP hello package and it is very convenient to be able to go for a coffee and a snack at the VIP lounge at any time during the day. It is very difficult to get a VIP package and poolside room though. There was never a shortage of food and we were very pleased after every buffet visit. The staff are very accommodating and very friendly. I highly recommend!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Murky water

Everything at the hotel was great except the ocean water was very murky. The water was not clear. We swam for the first 3 days in the ocean even though the water was very cloudy. Then, a river nearby dumped very brown water into the ocean and the water was even darker. This was very disappointing. Also, there was jelly fish on the beach and several guests got stung badly.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Cofresi palm beach and spa

Very out dated but it was just fine, we stayed there before and new what to expect. But it's not a good resort for elderly or mobility problems people. Way to many stairs it does not say that anywhere.

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Fantastic resort!!

I just returned from a 2 week vacation at Ocean El Faro El Beso resort in Punta Cana. The resort was absolutely fantastic! There was so much selection for meals and everyone was great! A coffee shop with sandwiches and fresh baked goods, smoothies, fruit drinks. An adults only restaurant at the beach with buffet breakfast and a la carte lunch and dinner. French,Italian and Japanese restaurants. The entire resort was immaculate. The staff even wiped down the chair legs in the lobbies every  [... read more]evening! Multiple swimming pools, a lazy river with a bar in the middle! Kids mini Waterpark. Great shows. Beautiful piano bar open for quiet moments open every evening. I can't wait to go back!! For me this place is beyond 5 stars!

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Great service

Our butler was great. The building concierge was fantastic. Short resort tram ride to beach. Overall had a great time.

Dreams Flora Resort and Spa: Amazing resort

Recently renovated, not too big not too small,friendly staff,variety of food,nice grounds ,room cleanliness,minibar Cons: Entertainment Room soundproof Limitations of seats at World cafe during peak times,but staff working very hard to make it available asap

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Great place to stay!

Short ride from the airport! Which is great in the heat. Except for the small bus! Too cramped. Very clean and comfortable rooms. A couple of power outages but they only lasted few seconds. Friendly, hard working staff. Big thank you to Yocairy!! She rocks! Food was excellent with a wide variety. Resort is the perfect size! Easy to get around. Pool is clean, and well maintained. Beautiful beach and view of the ocean. Will definitely go back.

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Average stay

We did enjoy our overall experience at the Senator. We had to upgrade our room, as the our assigned room was very old! Our new room was great, building 2, ocean view. This resort is VERY clean, rooms, and the grounds. The entertainment was prob not the best ..... But it was entertainment. The food was good, yet very repetitive, especially breakfast and lunch. Exactly the same everyday we were there. The drinks were very unimpressive. Juices were weak,.wine was awful, spent all week trying to fin [... read more]d a consistent drink I liked. My hubby drank beer and he enjoyed it. The staff were mostly pleasant, except the people who try to sell "time shares, or whatever they call it, can get quite insistent and almost aggressive or even pathetic begging you to "Attend a 1 hour demonstration . We did not fall for their tactics. The pools were clean, but the music was too loud for us, so we spent most time at the beach towards the Playa bachata. Overall it was a nice vacation. Would we return to this resort? Probably not, unless it was an incredible price.

Riu Republica: Wonderful resort

Had a wonderful time the resort was amazing. The staff very friendly.. The resort is very large lots of hotels and bars pools. The food was really good. The only complaint I had is the buffet food was cold and the beds were a little hard, but something I could live with.

Riu Republica: Fantastic, friendly and fun.

The Riu Republica was fantastic. I’d give it a 4 rating. The only complaint I have is I had to ask for clean dishes a few times. They could definitely do better with that!The food selection was fantastic. Our room was fantastic and well kept. We did leave Spanish notes with gifts and tips. Resort was full but never felt full. No waiting for a drink. No having trouble finding a chair. Entertainment was great. People and staff were friendly and fun. They had games during the day and prizes .

Never felt overly noisy . Sprayed ourselves with no scent musk oil ever evening. Didn’t get one bug bite. Never got sick. People complain for nothing. Oh and never waited more than a few minutes for a drink.

Coral Costa Caribe: Resort facility lovely, staff less than enthusiastic

The Coral costa Caribe was an esthetically lovely resort with a lot of central located amenities. The food was good with an excellent variety to choose from. The coffee bar with specialty coffee was an added bonus. The A La Carts were hard to navigate as there was minimal signage and they rotated sites. I found the pool bar staff to be less than excited to be there with barely a smile or even a conversation at the top part and would infrequently serve down at the pool area. I had a hard time wit [... read more]h the rudeness of our Westjet/Sunwing representative. Initially when we were interested in an excursion he was wonderful but once we paid and then had a couple of questions and concerns he totally ignored me and was on his phone. Then he lied to my daughter in law when she stopped by, He told her our concerns were taken care of as he had talked to me already but when I went back to talk to him he had left before 1100 when he was to be there until 1200.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Beautiful Resort

First of all let me say that I was there with my daughter and toddler granddaughter so my comments are based on our family configuration! The Majestic Elegance Hotel in Punta Cana is beautifully landscaped, the rooms are very large with an open concept, ie the jacuzzi tub and the double sinks are in the open room area and the shower and toilet are individual private rooms with unlockable glass swinging doors. We were there with a 20 month old toddler and found the room not to be child friendly [... read more]. For example there is a step down to the jacuzzi tub and patio door area with an approximate 3’ marble ledge which she initially bumped her head on a number of times. The toilet snd shower doors are very heavy glass and they swing inward and outward. Our toddler initially managed to pinch her fingers in the doors several times. In the first room we were in the hand towel bar was approximately 10” long positioned on the front of the sink facade at eye level of the toddler. Again she initially bumped her head numerous times and actually could have walked into it at eye level. Suggestion would be to mount towel racks at a higher level. The floors are very slippery when wet causing danger to anyone. After showering we had to place towels on the floor outside the shower door. Aesthetically the room is beautiful however not toddler child friendly! The air conditioner was not working in first room we were in (for three nights) we asked to have it fixed on two occasions and after having three uncomfortable nights we asked to move rooms which they kindly moved us and the air conditioner was working well! I would also like to mention that the resort, as beautiful as it is, is again not child friendly in regard to pushing a child in a stroller. There are little to no ramps, mostly steps and the one bridge over the pool is in very rough condition and is three stairs up and three steps down three or four times across the bridge. Therefore impossible to use with a stroller, thereby having to go a longer way around every time going to/from the pool area. The staff: in all the years of travel, and I have travelled and lived all over the world, I have never met such wonderful, friendly and accommodating staff! They are the best staff ever! Big thumbs up ? Food: food is a personal taste thing. I don’t believe it would be fair to comment as everyone has personal tastes. Our preference was the Steak restaurant and the Italian restaurant. The Sea to See was great for lunch! Again we were with a toddler which did limit our going to the restaurants as we had to eat an early dinner. Pools: the pool we used daily was in good condition but there is only one entry with steps, which for seniors or someone with a handicap they would require. There were always lounge chairs and umbrellas available. The pool where the swim up bar and activities took place is in very poor condition. There are sooooo many missing pool tiles causing the pool floor to be very sharp in places which could cause someone to cut their feet! Would I return: I would return but not with a toddler. I would also only stay on the Club side as there are many more benefits to the Club side!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Awful Tourist Trap from Hell - Luxury? NO!

Lobby, Sky, Water, Grounds: Picturesque! But way too many cats that guests & STAFF feed/touch/pet. Gross!! Coffee Shop, Beach Bar & Grounds Maintenance - Miguel, on the beach to be noted: Excellent. Everything else was a NIGHTMARE and RUINED our vacation completely. The list is endless, so in a nutshell... Service & English Language: ZERO! We had to call daily for basic requirements that were met poorly, or not at all. Staff: Didn't speak ENG at all (outside of the lobby) & didn't even t [... read more]ry to understand us. Rude & useless & arrogant & did their jobs poorly. (I've been EVERYWHERE and NEVER had this problem!) Endless stream of inconsistent, mismanaged, or not managed at all, horrible service. AND everybody and their mother wanted a tip! Rooms: Not remotely noise proof & the beds were as hard as brick. Rooms were never cleaned, just swept (poorly) & beds made; that's it! God forbid you ask for more. Everyone is so shocked when you you have a "complaint/issue". Oh, and everyone in the pool drinks & pees in it all day. The guests told us. And the Esmerelda guests suck up Ambar umbrellas, meaning you have to get up at 6am to find one. And Ambar guests pays double! Ah yes, besides the restaurants being a disaster, an with average or below average food, the smell of diesel, all day, from the motor boats on the Ambar beach really sealed the deal. We are boycotting Bahia properties, as of now.

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Amazing Resort

We had a great holiday at the Catalonia Royal Bavaro. Had great food and a variety of food choice. The staff were always friendly and very helpful. The pools and beach were great. They did a great job cleaning the seaweed off the beach every morning
