Ocean El Faro: Only for families with children

Although this is a beautiful resort and well taken care of, we found that it was mostly meant for people with small children and people that wanted to pay to be privileged. We felt if we ask questions we were bothering them the only staff that seem to want to help the male staff. They were very pleasant and never said no to anything that was asked the cleaning staff was also very helpful and made sure you had everything you needed.. Food was OK. Nobody would serve, but it definitely could have [... read more] been better. It was the same thing all the time and always make sure to get the food from the back because the chaos that went on in the buffet with children running around and even adults grabbing food, taste testing and putting it back on the plates Was disgusting !!!!! We observe this many times through our weekday had to have food removed many times because of it and this is what we mean when we say it was chaos people pushing people, shoving nobody had manners Overall, I would not return with me and my husband, but if I was to bring my grandson along, this would be the resort for him. Everyone makes their own judgements on a resort. This one is definitely a resort.

Playabachata Hotel: Great Resort

Clean, well maintained, rooms a little outdated but clean. Food was very good and lots of variety. Staff was always helpful. Beach was a little rough the time we were there but you could still have fun.

Sunscape Puerto Plata: Can’t say enough

This is our second time at this resort The service and staff are undeniably some of the best we have encountered They continuously work to keep the resort beautiful and clean The beach is gorgeous with a sand bottom We will definitely be back next year Thank you

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Amazing Resort and Trip

This trip was amazing from start to finish. The hotel staff was so accomodating and made everything so easy, from the quick check in to the never ending selection of food. This Hotel and the staff made this experience amazing.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Fantastic Resort

The grounds were clean and green spaces well maintained. The pools were clean and varied. Food was abundant and varied. The swim up bars were a nice touch. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. There were many ramps for walkers and wheelchairs to access the different areas.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Nice resort

Great resort, fantastic beach,very friendly people and nice entertainment.The only negative thing was the maid service- did not replace spare toilet paper,not enough towels,fridge not restocked with water.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: It was okay

The amenities were 10/10 but the service was better at many other tropical/Caribbean places I’ve stayed. I’m not sure exactly why we had this experience since it was so highly rated but we were often ignored by hotel staff and they seemed like they didn’t want to be there.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Beautiful Resort

This is a beautiful picture perfect resort. We just returned from 2 weeks at Iberostar Costa Dorado. Great oceanfront view and highly recommend Building 1 as the other oceanfront building has a condominium development being built beside it and the work is starting to get noisy. Food is great along with staff; Domingo is the best server and Manuel in customer service is wonderful! Entertainment definitely needs some higher quality singers and the shows are a bit dated. The beach is gorgeous and w [... read more]e went on 5-10km walks daily! One great thing here are the amount of lounge chairs; never had to “reserve” chairs as they were never out of them. We always sat in the second row facing the ocean. We preferred not to sit directly on the beach. The bar service this time was much better and they were much more acute in serving as you arrived at the bar. Previous visits you would only be served in a timely manner if you tipped. Must have gotten multiple complaints as so much better this stay. Cleaning staff work hard and they did a great job! Will be returning again.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: comfortable & great service !

prompt attention - we has issues and it was taken care of right away with great attention for us. Ms Maria Green , manager at the reception desk ajd her crew - amazing and very friendly. Mr Basilio and Andres at the buffet - always pleasant and friendly with amazing smiles

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Getting worse every year

We are returning visitors since 2019. This hotel is getting worse every year as I’ve heard also from other people. No dry towels after rain, no bell boys to help with luggage, no one told us we can check in online in the bus so we had to wait an hour with small children to be checked in, food is not good anymore, no hot water to make tea, coffee machines always broken, no entertainment for children and no one cares about your requests. We won’t be going to Dominican anymore.

Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort: Beautiful Resort

This resort is beautiful and at night it is even more beautiful. It is very big! There needs to be drink service on the beach and more around the pool. Entertainment was good but seems to be same kind of show every nite, but great dancers. Food was good better than expected. Would definitely recommend this resort.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Great time at this resort !

My family and I had a wonderful time at this resort. We had a toddler and grandparents with us and everyone’s needs were met. The water park for kids was fantastic, our daughter had a ton of fun. The beach was full of chairs and wonderful to take a long walk on. The food was great with tons of variety, and always plenty of it. Staff was friendly and accommodating and rooms were comfy. We would definitely bring our family back to this resort.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Good Resort

It is a nicely located resort, .pretty well arranged . It has good facilities like pools, beach , kids club, tennis courts etc It need to be proactive for keeping these facilities cleaned. Food in the restaurants need to be well cooked and should have various different varieties.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Looking tired…

Resort tired looking especially the rooms, needs renovating. Pool area looking good as is the Foyer. Food over all not the greatest, especially the Steak House. Buffet was probably the best food. Customer service not as good as it was 4/5 years ago.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Fantastic resort

Staff: all around excellent at the restaurants and bars Yard: well kept, neat and tidy Beach: very clean Entertainment: so, so. However, Breathless resort next door had plenty of adult entertainment. Guests at Dreams have exchanged privileges with Breathless. Did not care for the "white party" held at the beach. Too windy and they played games before music starts.

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Catalonia Royal Bavaro is indeed an amazing resort to stay at.

Hi Victoria, Thanks again for helping me to book my vacation in Punta Cana. I had just a few things that was of concern, which was ( the shower water in my room was cold, the internet was weak and beach keep collecting moss). The staff is great, the atmosphere is great and the food is great as well. Apart from the few negatives, I had a good time and will go back next year. Patrick

Dreams La Romana: Amazing resort but don’t book with Air Transat!

The Hilton hotel was 5 stars and everything was amazing! From the check in, room, grounds, service, food, entertainment and beach. We booked this trip with Air Transat and they lost my husband’s luggage and then found 2 days before we flew home. We asked for them to deliver to our hotel and they said no, we can pick up at the airport when we depart. The day we were leaving the Air Transat bus never picked us up from the hotel and we had to take a 45 min taxi ride to Punta Cana airport and pa [... read more]y $100US dollars. There was no Air Transat rep at our hotel and every time I called the Air Transat assistance phone number off their app, nobody answered. We paid a lot of money for this trip for 1 week with Air Transat and they should be embarrassed with their level of customer service. Book with West Jet, Sunwing or Air Canada instead.

Temptation Miches Resort 21 Plus: Lots of fun

Very good time ..pool games were beyond excellent..but very far from town this place is best for people that don't want to leave resort..food was good ..service excellent..our room leaked from the shower above but we did not complain..great night life..pool is great ..beach is not the best

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Very good

Beautiful resort, very well kept and staff were great. They do depend on tips though so be kind. Buffet was great but was not impressed by any of the restaurants. Not being able to book times ahead meant often waiting til late if you are in a large group. Pool with lazy river was great.

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Beautiful resort but needs some tweaking

Hotels grounds are kept clean and trim. 8/10 Layout of the hotel is very easy to maneuver. 8/10 Food in the restaurants is good but could be better, 6/10 Beach is awful, lounge chairs all need replacing. 1/10 Lobby is stunning. 10/10 Privilege checkin and checkout should have separate desks for adults only 5/10 Rooms were very nice 8/10 Staff is where improvement is needed. Many lazy and bad attitudes. 5/10
