Ocean Blue and Sand: Nice resort, beautiful beach

Good resort, the rooms are comfortable updated, the bathrooms are large, double sinks, big shower. The à la carte restaurants are nice, good food no reservations necessary except for the steakhouse and japanese. No limit for the number of time you can use the à la carte. The buffet in the morning was a mess. Difficult to find a set up table, slow service. The selection of food is good. Probably could use more staff for the morning rush. The lunch and dinner seemed to run more smoothly. The groun [... read more]ds are nice but dated. Need more plants and flowers to give it this lush tropical look. Lobby and reception are very nice. Beautiful beach but a bit crowded. Need more umbrellas and shade area. Staff is uneven some are nice and friendly others not so much.

Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Amazing Resort

I have come back to this resort three times. The grounds are meticulously maintained and the people are so friendly and happy to help you. The food was amazing, the drinks were delicious and the pools are fabulous and well maintained! I would definitely return. The only thing I feel this resort needs to do is upgrade the rooms and bathrooms.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: An okay resort

It was okay. Our room was lovely. The beach had lots of seaweed and lots of vendors that want you to looky looky. I was disappointed in the Ala carte restaurants. They only took reservations at 1 of them, and nothing was available in the 2 weeks we were there. The other restaurants had line ups, and if you didn't get in you just wasted an hour standing in line. Also we only found 3 restaurants, it's a huge resort. The food was typical buffet style.

Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort Adults: Overall great resort

We had the level wellness package, and it was so worth it. The food was great, cocktails were good, butler was amazing, food/drink service was decent but I’ve had better, massages were excellent, facility was beautiful. Could have used more music by the pool. Still had an awesome experience!

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Great vacation at Magestic Elegance Punta Cana

We have an amazing experience at the Magestic Elegance Resort Punta Cana. Thanks a lot to Susan Snider from Tripcentral team for great support for booking and follow up with any questions and support! The flights with Air Transat was great and all done on time. Our stay in the resort was wonderful, lots of fun and relaxing. Breathtaking beach, great service in luxurious room, great food. Our butler Orlando was amazing, professional and always helping with any requests, such as reservation, che [... read more]cking in to make sure everything in the room was perfect. He checked in on us every day, answering questions and any help when needed. The staff in the resort was so friendly, the resort was very clean and well kept. Highly recommend this resort for luxurious getaway in Punta Cana!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Ambar Gran Bahia Principe

It’s always been a great destination, however the resort is under going restructuring being partnered with Hyatt . The personal seem to be a little reluctant with their usual service do to their future. Our usual staff still had the great smiles !

Dreams Flora Resort and Spa: Awesome Family Experience

This hotel offered everything we could have asked for - a beautiful beach and pool amidst meticulously landscaped property. Dining offered many options. Customer service was exemplary. Our travel representative Robyn Murray provided excellent guidance as we explored our destination options. Thank you!!!

Riu Palace Bavaro: February birthday visit

We had an excellent time at the Riu Palace Bavaro. Our biggest concern is that they do not have a designated smoking area. We are non smokers and to see people smoking and vaping in the swim-up bar was disgusting to us. Also upsetting is seeing children in the swim-up bar that is clearly for adults. The Riu hotels we have visited in Panama and Costa Rica had clearly marked designated smoking areas and we would like to see that at the Riu Palace Bavaro. Those hotels do not allow children in the s [... read more]wim-bars either. The disco is much too loud and can be clearly heard from the surrounding blocks of rooms. Needs to be turned down. We would highly recommend this hotel to friends, but we have already told them about the smoking issue and loud music.

Punta Cana Princess: Excellent resort for adult

The only small thing is that the pool music base was too hight and close at 12pm. Food was good but enought sea food. Services were excellent. Room very clean. No mouskito. No sand fly. Excellent customer services. Excellent cleaning lady services

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Unfortunately first and last visit

The hotel and grounds are beautiful. Well maintained and clean. The rooms in the 7000 block are modern and well kept and staff friendly, courteous and helpful. We were greeted warmly upon arrival with a smile and cold drink which helped to temper our disappointment that not only were we unable to be in adjoining rooms from our daughter and her family, neither were we even close to one another. In fact, we were across the jungle pool from each other. We made the best of it and got more than our s [... read more]teps in. The biggest disappointment the FOOD. Each person in our family was sick from some form of food item over the 7 days there. Our 3 year old granddaughter needing to see the doctor on site who was excellent. Thankfully she was feeling better before we had to fly home and the rest of us too. Been to DR 5 times and never been ill until here. We were amazed how quick the concierge and security came to the clinic when they found 3 of our family were ill. We loved the idea of no reservations at the restaurants and had no issues getting a table for 6 while we were all still okay, then we had to solely rely on buffet which we found underwhelming. Repetition of same foods each night. Found hygiene an issue with one set of tongs for several food items in one section of the buffet. The pools are lovely, clean fun. The best resort ever to find loungers by pool or shade at the beach. Beach is clean and palm trees make great shade to get out of the sun. Lots of entertainment for everyone. Great family atmosphere. Would I go back? Sadly no.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Beautiful, kid friendly resort. But not the best food

We spent 7 nights at the Dreams Onyx Resort. The layout and up keep of the property was beautiful. Most of the staff were pleasant and kind. Special attention to the amazing - Junior at the lobby, Dani at the beach and the housekeeping staff. Unfortunately at different times of our trip all of our family was severely sick, which really put a damper on the trip. Even so, we had to take our daughter to the clinic on site. Dr. Vanessa Del Rosario (with Clinic Assist) truly put us at ease and was [... read more] amazing with her. The resort came in to check on her too. But we worry it was the quality of food, since we all got six throughout the trip. I’ve been to many all inclusive resorts, several in Punta Cana. This one by far is the most beautiful- hotel room, layout, etc. But one of the lowest quality as far as food. We unfortunately didn’t get to experience all of the dinner options since we all got sick. We tried to play it safe with the buffet, but still was underwhelming. Lots of events each day for kids, which was great! Gift shop was cute, lots of supplies/meds too.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Love this Resort

This is the 3rd time going to Esmeralda and this past experience was by far the best vacation yet. Hyatt has partnered with them so there were many improvements The food is 10/10, the rooms have been upgraded and modern especially the washrooms our room was spacious and comfortable. The only negative is they always ran out of toilet paper at the beach washrooms so bring your own wipes because when you tell them it needs restocking they don't understand or speak English well so you leave frus [... read more]trated.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Great resort!

Check-in: fast, easy. We had a request for particular building due to a mobility issue and Jedulka was terrific in helping to accommodate. Rooms: excellent. Large, clean and very good bathrooms. Dining: ala carts were excellent although booking was a little difficult. But food was great. Buffets were very good too. Beaches: excellent. Lots of palapas...great sand, no need for water shoes. Some seaweed but beaches were racked daily. Customer service: Exceptional! Had a leak over our  [... read more]toilet, customer service came same day, fixed and followed to confirm there were no issues. Got locked out of mini safe, customer service showed up within 15 minutes. One day our room wasn't made up, we called later in the day and they showed up within 20 minutes. Pools: always chairs available. Music was a little repetitive but we were at the beach most of the time. Unfortunately pools were closed at 6pm daily for cleaning, which seemed a little early but the pols were definitely clean and in great shape. Value: terrific value for price. We'll definitely be back!!

Ocean Blue and Sand: Second round was even better

We went to Ocean Blue and Sun last year with the family in the privilege area and it was really good which is why we came back this year. I don’t know if they forgot about us last year or if they’ve added more options to the privilege club because this year we got a Nescafé coffee maker and a regular coffee maker, a beach bag and a toiletry bag with essentials. Harry our butler also helped make this year’s stay even better. Carlos at the beach bar is always a pleasure and Argentina at the buf [... read more]fet made dinner a fun party. The food is always good in all restaurants. Best Mamajuana in the sports bar! The beach is fantastic. Float in the ocean with the gentle waves or walk for an hour in either direction. The sand is perfect. Everything is clean, everywhere. The grounds are maintained immaculately. Super comfy beds and pillows. Like every other resort, they have signs saying no reserving the beach chairs, but everyone does. One morning at 5 AM. We went to check the cabanas and most were all reserved. All the bars were good and the Michael Jackson show was pretty impressive. We really like the piano bar.

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: My 3rd visit

Still enjoyed my 3rd visit to the property. Food was excellent. Accommodation predictable and good. Golf course terrific! Staff very friendly as always. Weird shower design. There is nothing to stop the water on the shower floor going into the rest of the bathroom. Had to use towels to dam up the water. It was the same in 2009. Nothing changed?

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Resort was good

The resort was good. The breakfast was the best meal of the day. Made you eggs to order. The food could be better. I would recommend this resort and would return for a future vacation. Good atmosphere and staff would amazing.

Live Aqua Beach Resort Punta Cana: Beautiful Resort

Enjoyed this hotel very much. Excellent food, comfortable rooms, beautiful beach with lots of beach chairs available. Both party pool and quiet pools available. Staff always polite and very helpful. Enjoy!

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: EL BESO is the way to go!

Very clean, great food (and fresh), great people, friendly employees. Peaceful on El Beso adult only side. Big resort, lots to do and see. Bring crocs to wear, lots of walking! The train helps, and is very convenient. Speak Spanish if you can, most employees don't know much English. Beautiful views everywhere. I had a blast! Pictures and videos and all the details can be found on my Facebook profile!
