Riu Palace Macao: Lovely resort

The resort is up and running again. The staff are working diligently to impress their guests with amazing meals and impeccably kept rooms and gardens. Service was great except for the daily bar cart room service which was very hit and miss. During our two week stay we received service only on three occasions, after we spoke with the front desk attendants. We had to go to the front desk each day, other than the three when we received replenishment, to obtain bottles of water. All other  [... read more]aspects of our two week stay were excellent. The beach was amazing and the pools were beautiful and kept very clean.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Mediocre

The hotel grounds and beach were beautiful. Some of the neighbouring resorts had sea weed removal trucks, which made for a cleaner beach. Melia caribe had two men cleaning the beach with tools every morning. There was a lot of confusion and miscommunication around restaurant bookings and we had a few hiccups there. Service was also extremely slow. The rooms were pretty clean and beds were very comfortable. The buffet was basic compared to other resorts we’ve been to. They were out of food  [... read more]a lot and you had to ask for bananas and anything not frequently being replenished. Staff seemed agitated most of the time. The events were fun and overall layout of the hotel was very functional.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Great Resort!

It was our first family trip to Punta Cana and many thanks to Monique for assisting us with our travel plans. Bahia Principe is a beautiful clean resort with beautiful grounds, great food, amazing and friendly staffs, and fun entertainment for adults and kids. We loved the circus and magic shows. We would definitely come back again!

Occidental Punta Cana: Great beach

We had fun at this resort. The beach and water are amazing, you can walk forever! Staff are great, food was very good. The only draw back are the sales people on the beach and on some nights, around the pool. We are there to relax, not shop!

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Great resort, reasonable price!

grounds, beach, pool, tennis court, basketball court all beautiful. From our last visit (when Now Onyx), the quality of service and food at restaurants improved. Buffet still lacks high quality food offering. I would exchange the vast variety of available food at the buffet with higher quality offerings.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Would never go back!

Royalton Splash is not what it used to be according to past reviews. Quick recap: great beach, food ok, service very bad. Not worth the $ not upgrading to Diamond Club. Royalton Punta Cana is much better!

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Amazing beach but not a 4+

Travelled from March 14 to 21 2022 Although the beach was amazing, the lack of service and average food would not make me come back, not a 5 stars or 4.5. If you can afford it stay at the Punta Cana next door. Beach: hotel not directly on the beach, a 10min walk through the property and Punta Cana hotel to get there. BUT beautiful, has a big sandy area, clean. Ocean was amazing...Best part of the trip. Not enough chairs, by 7:15 all gone. Lots of waves.  Pools: has 2 pools, Slides are  [... read more]nice but closes at 5pm. Food: buffet has choices but repetetive, food average. Most food was warm to cold, meat always overcooked. Cafe shop has good coffee. Mexican was good, Italien not so much. Seafood was good but meat and fish over cooked. We ate at Punta Cana buffet our last night, big difference in food and service. Rooms: big and clean. Patio door has no screen. Shower has no door. First 2 days no new towels until we called several time and then had to tip someone to get some. Weather: HOT during the day, windy at night but nice. Service: check-in awful, restaurants very very slow, beach area not much service in blue chairs area. Everyone looking for tips if you need any help. Took them 2h check us in. Not sure if they were understaffed or staff lacking training or impacts of covid as friends went 4 years ago and they said it doesn't compare. Property: clean, beautiful. Lobby is more an entry point, not typical lobby where you can hang out, you have to go to the Punta Cana one. Entertainment: only music and signing at splash, shows are at Punta Cana. Same type of shows like other resorts, nothing exciting.

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Amazing resort

The hotel was fantastic. A little short on chairs around the pool but the beach made up for that in a big way. I am not a beach person but this place is fantastic. The food was great and so was the service

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Terrific well kept resort.

All amenities were great including the beach and VIP lounge for the Majestic package. We plan on returning. There was a good amount of choice for outdoor, indoor dining options as well as outdoor entertainment.

Excellence El Carmen: Dream vacation

This resort did not disappoint!! The resort is a good size, not too large and easy to navigate. Well appointed rooms, beautifully maintained grounds, decent food, great entertainment and friendly staff.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Really amazing resort!

Beautiful resort, the room are spacious and the beds are really comfortable. The hair blow dryer provided in each room is fantastic. The wifi is excellent everywhere on the resort even at the beach. The quality and variety of the food and the drinks is way superior to other resort we have done in the past in DR. We love the beach and the chairs at our disposition. We certainly made great memories at this beautiful resort.

Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort: Beautiful resort

Large beautiful resort with well kept grounds. Wide beach, easy walking Not much of a wait at bars if any. Buffet had large variety of fonds. Something for everyone. We are at 4 dining restaurants and have to say the food was very good. Our favorite was the steakhouse the italian and Inari with the show Staff were friendly, no major issues with housekeeping or anything else.

Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort: Excellent vacation

The hotel was huge but after a few hours we knew our way around. Rooms are clean. Good is delicious. A lot of variety at the buffets but you must try the el asador steakhouse and the gondola Italian. The water park is fun for kids of all ages but it is a bit of a walk and it’s important to know that there is no bar near the water park so make sure you grab a few at the buffet. Lots of chairs at the beach but if you want one near the pool make sure you get one before 9:30. This place caters to  [... read more]people of all ages. Would recommend.

Paradisus Palma Real Golf and Spa Resort: Great stay at Paradisus Palma Real!

My adult daughter and I had a really nice time. The room was perfect with a nice sitting area and lots of room. We split our time between the beautiful beach and the pool. The hotel made the Covid testing easy and stress free.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Poor resort

Dull and lackluster, this resort took over 4 hours one night to come and unlock our room. Kids were sitting outside til after 1am. We were upgraded to the Royalton which was much better, although we couldn't be given a DC room. Will never book at Splash again.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Majestic Colonial March 2022

It's our 3rd time at this resort Always a great experience. Stayed in Colonial Club section. Noisy the 1st few nights. Too many college kids partying in the hall. But security finally stopped that

Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana: Beautiful but disappointed

Our arrival was very nice, we were greeted with a cool drink. Our check in was prompt and smooth except for the fact we asked for adjoining rooms which we did not receive. My daughters room was not ready until after 4pm. Our first outing was to the barefoot Grill. The service was horrible. The waiter was just miserable and I don’t think he could have moved slower. Our biggest problem was the service at this resort. For the first 3-4 days the service was terrible and the food was not gre [... read more]at. Around the 4th day something changed. Service got better. Maybe because we were entering March Break. It was nice to see. The rooms were very nice and clean. Unfortunately the rooms did not get cleaned everyday. For some reason they skipped my daughters room multiple times during the week. Which was frustrating for her since she had 2 children with her. The grounds were beautiful and so was the beach but it was unswimmable. This area of Punta Cana is known for learning how to surf. So the waves were huge. Not a nice swimming beach. The pools and the pool area were very nice.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Great stay

We loved the resort, if there was an issue it was trying to find food at the buffet. Especially the buffet by the beach, usually there was next to nothing when we tried to eat. I would recommend to others

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Amazing

This resort was extremely clean and the staff, service everywhere are very nice and helpful. They are genuinely there to service you, they like their job! Thank you to Alejandro at the pool bar, and beach boys simply amazing. Food is high quality and we had access to all restaurants at the breathless hotel, that is a big plus. It was my first time at a Dreams and i am now hooked! Booked again for august!!

Nickelodeon Hotel Punta Cana: Amazing Resort For Kids!

The best facility we have been to, very CLEAN, the infiniti pool overlooking the sea is very unique. Rooms are spacious, comfortable, modern and well designed. Your wristband is actually your room key. Water park is great but be aware that parents can't come down on the slides with their children: the rides are for children only. The activities were amazing, with a variety of things and they even had a Beatles band (really good production) for adults. Food was very good as well as service: don't [... read more] Forget to TIP the incredible team there as we saw a lot of people being serviced and not leaving anything for the hotel staff. They Work 12 days for 3 days off or 6 days for 1 day off, depending on the department, so do take care of them. We definitely recommend this hotel for families traveling with kids: the best we have been to so far. Special thank you to Julia / Jesus / Ana / Omrieux / Francisco and everyone else at the buffet + Luis in the Beach bar + Carmen, Luis, Francisco and everyone else at the pool bar + Jose Cappucino in entertainment + the guy who organizes all pool and beach settings + Jose (our personal concierge, a great guy) + Henry and the Bell team + Antonio (server) at the Asian restaurant and everyone else who made this a memorable trip. PS: careful if you choose to go on their Prestige Club tour as it is similar to time shares and they might make you uncomfortable if you don't sign.
