Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Great experience

we had no expectations, good or bad for Iberostar Dominicana as we registered there so we could scuba dive with Dressel Divers which operates out of the resort grounds. we were pleasantly surprised by the experience and would return. in short, the facility was immaculate, staff friendly for the most part and food and lodging excellent.

Riu Republica: Not a 5*

Riu Republica is not a 5* resort. It is only 5 years old but it shows its age. Some rooms are in desperate need of repair. We had to change accommodations 3 times,to finally be happy with the room. Have to be fair, staff was very happy to help us find comfortable place. Hotel hallways are like something you would find in the basement. On windy days wasn't to bet,otherwise terrible odors of sewage. Grounds are big and total lack of directory. No one to help with the luggage. Those ar [... read more]e the bed things. Now all the great: Staff in the reception very friendly and willing to help. Cleaning ladies are doing their best without interfering. Grounds are beautiful !!! Beach is the best !!! Food very good ! Drinks are decent! Gets very crowded on weekends !!!

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Pleasant stay

First of all the hotel is very big, which could be a good thing or bad thing to people. We like it because you don’t feel you stuck in a complex and there are many things to explore in it. Pro: Relatively new renovation for the junior suite we stayed. It is in a good size and balcony has a good view for the ocean. Food variety is good. The quality is not great but ok. Service is good. Beach is the best and pools are nice but could be busy for certain hours. Has a good golf course althou [... read more]gh we are not golfers. Con: TV is old and quality of picture is bad. I know it doesn’t matter that much but sometimes you do need to watch something (like Oscar live😀) Phone in the room never works At one of the restaurants, Mexico, my wife had stomach issue after a fish main course. Staff can’t speak English sometimes. Instructions for checkout/shuttle bus to airport/ Covid test are not clearly listed Overall we are happy we can have a great vacation after 3 year Covid lockdown!!

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Nice clean resort

Food variety and quality was excellent Grounds and pools all clean Nice having a kids side and a adult side that was much quieter. There was really no evening entertainment. Beach was rocky but there’s a nice area on one side of the resort that has a nice ocean swimming area. Bar in the front lobby made the best drinks. 30c every day and full sun.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Not 5 star as indicate,

The Hotel is good the location is not. The beach is not clean too many Leafs. All days were Rough ocean. staff poor English The shows were Good. Ala cart Restaurants is not that good. Units far away from the Facilities.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Wonderful Resort

All features of the hotel where more than expected except for the Junior suite we had. It was not what the picture showed it would be and we where very disappointed. Examples - The toilet roll kept falling off of the broken post on the wall. The door on the cupboard that the fridge was in scrapped across the floor evetime we opened it. The room in general was not clean, especially the bathroom.

Grand Palladium Palace: Review

It was good but kids hubbies was less than my expectation for example water park or kids club Also inside transportation in resort was very limited SPA was expensive WiFi was limited in some areas overall good

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Amazing vacation for the entire family!

This resort has something to offer for everyone. The food was extremely fresh and there were such a variety of options and restaurant choices. The beach was beautiful. The rooms were updated and spacious. The amenities and service were amazing. Worth every penny! Such a wonderful family holiday.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Amazing resort for families with young children

Beautiful resort, grounds and beach. Ideal for families- lots for kids to do. Tiny to teens there are activities and sections specific for all age ranges. Not a great place for singles or couples better suited for families, despite the casino and spa which are not highlighted much and may have been better placed at the adults only resort. Spa is outstanding and exceeded expectations. Was there week of March 26th just as masking and travel restrictions were loosened in Ontario, hard to know if [... read more] it would have been different prior, however the majority of guests were not masked. Staff were somewhat masked, mostly not to our standards of wear and not consistently. Staff were around cleaning. There were some hand sanitizers throughout the resort, some requiring touch to dispense. Buffets mean everyone touches the serving spoons and helps themselves. There was a clinic on-site for a departure rapid test for $35 USD.

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.
