Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Beautiful resort. Would definitely go there again

Amazing resort, beautiful beaches and friendly staff. Stayed in the adult only section and it was great . Would recommend this resort to friends and family. Lots of entertainment and food 24hrs a day

Sunscape Puerto Plata: Nice Resort

Sunscape Puerto Plata is a small resort that may show signs of aging, but it is meticulously maintained. The staff is exceptional, always ready to assist when needed. The three on-site restaurants are decent, nothing over the top, but nobody went hungry. It's advisable to arrive early to avoid the long waits as they do not take reservations. The buffet offers a satisfactory variety, each day something different. One of the highlights is the spacious pool and its accompanying swim-up bar, wher [... read more]e the activity staff consistently involves guests in daily entertainment. The beach was very nice, although a bit of seaweed was always in front of the resort. If you venture further down, the water was exceptionally clear. Despite an abundance of loungers, shade is limited, with only one row of chairs beneath trees. While Sunscape Puerto Plata lacks a few amenities found in other resorts I've visited, our week there was still very enjoyable and provided a relaxing experience.

Serenade Punta Cana Beach and Spa Resort: Beautiful Resort

The hotel is very nice and the pools are well maintained and crystal clear the rooms are large and so is the decks What I didn’t like was the resort is in total darkness at night so if you need to leave your room it is quite scary

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Beautiful resort, great value!

For the price we paid we were really happy with this resort! Service was fantastic, Brazilian steakhouse was the best restaurant, beach was calm and beautiful! Thank you to front desk for making sure we got a reservation on our first night (Dec 31), and to the buffet servers for being so quick! If you're looking for a beautiful place to spend a week and don't mind the limitations of the breakfast/lunch buffet selection, then this resort is a very reasonable price! Also loved seeing the cats hang [... read more]ing out in the garden, so cute. :)

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Average Resort

Small resort with very average facilities and entertainment. The main bar area really has limited seating and is more like a pool bar than the 'main' gathering bar. Junior suite room floor was very dirty when we arrived, only one mirror in the room which was the bathroom and for the size of the room they could have a dresser for more storage and another mirror! One of us lived out of the suitcase. Wifi in room was slow but worked once you unplugged the router a few times. Food average. Tabl [... read more]es in the open air buffet area were not that clean, the ones we sat at were sticky. There were lots of bees around you while eating. We only got one booking for the Italian restaurant. The lady was not too friendly when booking and said there were no other bookings available for us. The beach there is beautiful. It was nice to be able to walk a few min to a little shopping area. The public washrooms in the resort (by the pool and stage) were really hard to get into they are so small and I am not a really big person. I would not return so I would not recommend this to any of my friends but if someone got this for a very good price then you would likely be happy.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Great time

Had a great time and thank you Tracey for the help booking a great new years trip. Staff were friendly, beach was great .. food was good everyone was happy and welcoming from day 1. Thank you for making new years a memorable one

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: not the same

Second visit. First was in 2017 when the hotel was new. We loved it on first visit but disappointed this time. The beach is still fantastic and the food was great but the rooms have been neglected and the hotel became noisy with all the evening entertainment. Service is random and chaotic. I would agree with 4-star rating six years ago but now is rather 3-star.

Whala Boca Chica: Terrible

Terrible resort from food too the empty water coolers rooms were decent so was the service pool towels were hard too get and pool was dirty the beach was good but the resturants around were top dollar when the seen u was from gringo land

Serenade All Suites Adults Only Resort: Beautiful Resort

The grounds and the resort was beautiful as it is brand new. Rooms are very spacious, comfortable beds and are well lit. We had a ground floor room that had our own swim out pool which was very nice to have and I would book that again. There are 2 sides to this resort a family side and then the adult only side. We just returned a couple days ago from the adult only side and I will say that it is an extremely quiet resort if you are looking for rest and relaxation. I was however disappointed that [... read more] the sports bar and all the daily & nightly entertainment all took place on the family side though as it would have been nice to have some entertainment throughout the day. The resort was like a ghost town come 9pm at night with a few people sitting on their balconies and that's it, super quiet at night. If you are a sun lounger and love to be up early and have a few day drinks, lay by the pool or beach and read a book and then go to bed early then this is a perfect resort for that cause nothing goes on at night. Beach was beautiful, nice turquoise clear water and you could walk out forever and only be up to the chest. Very little seaweed and no rocks. Food was good, but again not a lot of choices on the adult only side. The Mediterranean & Italian were both on the Family side so the only choice for special dining was the Steak House and the Asian and you could choose between an a la carte menu or the Hibachi dining at the Asian and the Breseria at the SteakHouse which was amazing and the best meal ever!! They bring around a selection of meats and seafood that they cut off of a large skewer onto your plate so you get a variety to try (beef, chicken, shrimp, sausage, bacon wrapped chicken, pork loin, whole roasted pineapples) and it's all timed nicely so it ends up being a nice relaxing dinner not rushed. They also serve a bunch of different sides to the table for sharing as well (French fries, baked potato, vegetables, mushrooms, and different meat sauces) Amazing variety!! The Buffet was always different though and offered a nice variety so you aren't eating the same foods daily. I would still go back to this resort again as I loved the relaxation and quiet but it would be nice to see a few more activities and entertainment happening on the adult side too!!

Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana: Great resort!

Clean, well kept but too many cats roaming around. Need more chairs at the beach. Can't walk the beach but waves are awesome. Butler was overrated, he didn't do much for us. Food was great. Felt safe. We would definitely go back.

Emotions by Hodelpa Juan Dolio: Very Good Value with a family

Hotel accomodation great but needs upgrades with appliances such as fridge had to replace room fridge 3 times. Room service needed more towels exchange had to ask everyday to supply us with fresh towels. Dining room buffet in this case was great lots of variety of different foods and choices. bonus was omellette and pasta bars always available.Staff were great always giving us excellent service.

We could not book online because having three diffferent rooms the reservation could not be processed for our group. Pools and Bars on site were great. Staff were amazing! Beach areas clean and safe not to many venders trying to push buying their products Location Location on this small resort was perfect for a large family group Evening entertainment for adults and kids was amazing

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Marien Puerto Plata

At first, we (6 of us) did not get the rooms (3 rooms) we purchased. The rooms were awful, damp and humid with a disgusting oudour, one of them without AC. We all wanted to go home immediaterly. Very stressfull. Eventually, after a lot of complaining, the satff did make it right and gave us good rooms. Thank you Marlen and Jordan. The food at the buffet was ok but little selection and very repeative. The food and service at the restaurents was good. The resort was nice as prosmised, the b [... read more]each, the pool and the ammenities were very nice. I think the biggest dissapointment for us was the staff. Most (not all) were disgrunteld, not very freindly, and certainly not happy. They seemed to resent us for vacationing there. Also things were very pricey on the resot and we felt we were being gouged.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Jewel Punta Cana

The grounds were very well kept and very clean. There was always someone cleaning up leaves. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. The rooms were very clean but in need up an update. I did hear that the resort is closing at the end of the month for the update. The buffet always had lots of variety and the servers were very friendly. I went for a relaxing time and I really enjoyed my time at Jewels. I hope one day to return. I shout out to the service desk Juio who was big help to  [... read more]me

Serenade All Suites Adults Only Resort: Very very happy with this resort.

Amazing resort! The food was great. Loved the pools and beach. With a new resort there are always a few bugs to work out but I think they are in the process of doing that. Was fun to to visit the family side for the entertainment.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Amazing food!

Loved this hotel! Clean, easy to access everything. Staff were friendly and helpful. Gym is huge and well equipped and the food at the buffet was like nothing I have ever seen. Great place for families.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Great for families!

The property is beautiful and very well kept. Our rooms were large. Housekeeping was good but not always consistent when it came to renewing coffee accessories. Excellent, friendly staff but disappointed with Concierge who wasn't much help., possibly because she had too many people to handle. Disappointed in entertainment, especially the lack of anything special on New Year's Eve, just a singer and not the party advertised. The property is not really accessible for the disabled. I had a w [... read more]alker with me and would not have been able to mount stairs to buffets without help as there were no handrails. Good variety of food. Great for families but a bit overcrowded. Difficult to get chairs by pools and beach as other residents had claimed them by leaving their towels on them really early in the morning and then left them empty while they went off somewhere else leaving other residents searching for somewhere to sit. Overall, a good experience. Weather was certainly lovely!

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Great quaint adults only resort

It was our first time at this resort and found it very nice, quiet and relaxing. It's a small resort where everything is easy and quick to get to. Our room was 3301 which is right by the buffet, lobby and lobby bar. The room was a newer room and it was one of the best rooms we've ever had in all our years of traveling (23 yrs). The beach was very nice, the water was not calm at all that week (like in some pics we've seen online where the water was very calm and clear). There were som [... read more]e crazy waves which made it fun but you always had to be on guard or you'd get hit and knocked over and in no time you'd be under water so there was no relaxing in the water. It has a great beach to walk long distance on. It rained 4 days out of the full 6 days we were there and our last 2 full days, my husband got sick from the food. His second day being sick he went to the medical center on the resort. They hooked him up to IV fluids with meds, did blood work, urine and fecal tests to make sure he was ok to fly back home. All tests came back negative so they figured it was something he ate. We believe it was the Caesar salad from one of the a-la-carte restaurants we ate at the night before he got sick. We ate the same food except for that. The medical staff were awesome and very knowledgeable. They would come to our room and check on the IV, change it and give him more meds (thank you Dr. Ana Santos and nurse Luisa). The food is so-so, you don't go hungry and neither do the cats. If you don't like animals around you when eating, this place may not be for you. The buffet and the one outdoor a-la-carte restaurant has cats that hang out around the tables. We are not pool people so can't really comment about the pool. We would most likely return to this resort at some point.

Ocean El Faro: Frequent washroom runs

The grounds were great, the beach rocky and secluded and the entertainment ok. However the biggest issue we had was diarrhea. We had constant runs to the bathroom. We witnessed staff cleaning cups with water alone, no soap. Would not recommend it to others.

Riu Bambu: Great staff and customer service

Great staff providing service in room cleaning, beach towel, animation: morning program including stretching, zumba, dance classes, restaurants. Food was in good in quantity not so much in quality and presentation. Entertainment shows had great dancers. The sound and stage background was mediocre.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Another Great Stay

My husband and I traveled to the Bahia Luxury Bouganville, Adults Only, La Romana Dec 10-20/23. We booked it through Trip Central.ca and they were fantastic to work with- quick response and very customer focused. We love the Bahia Principe brand as we know what to expect and it consistently delivers on all fronts. The package we bought was also incredible value for money. Here are some of the key points: excellent location, beautiful grounds and buildings, exceptionally clean, excellent food and [... read more] beverage option (buffet is exceptional and specialty restaurants, bars were all very good) and with tons of selection, large comfortable rooms with balcony and ocean view, plenty of lounge chairs with multiple locations to choose from (party pool, quiet pool, spa pool, lovely beach), for the most part the staff were friendly and service was great, entertainment/activities were available if you wanted it and guaranteed good weather. We went to unwind, decompress, reconnect and not do much of anything other that rest, relax, eat and drink. We would highly recommend it and will continue to book Bahia for this kind of "all inclusive" vacation. Doesn't get any better that this.
