Ocean Blue and Sand: Beautiful and amazing resort

Stunning resort, beautiful, well maintained grounds, amazing food, fabulous Mike's coffee! All employees were very helpful, with any questions or needs! Great beach area! There were ppl on the beach selling goods, but found them to be respectful and not pushy. The only negative was that our room had a hint of musty odor.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Beautiful resort, well maintained.

This resort could easily move up to a 5 star rating with just a couple of improvements. In the opinion of everyone in our group, there is a problem with smoking. There are too many areas for inconsiderate smokers to do their harm. The smoking is allowed in the lobby, on the beach, all around the pool, and other areas as well. It looks to me like the resort is trying to improve, but they still have a long way to go. Smokers light up around babies, toddlers, children, and just about anywhere th [... read more]ey want. Their cigarette butts are thrown all over the resort, and look very unsightly...a real problem esp.aroung the pool area. There should be non-smoking throughout the resort, with just a few smoking sections allowed. The only other complaint was: too many mosquitos on the resort. We all felt there should have been more spraying to help control the mosquito problem. We had mosquitos in our room every night, (we think the cleaning staff open up the patio doors every day while they clean)...and had to try and kill the mosquitos every night before going to sleep, - we didn't always succeed in getting them all. We came away with horrible, multiple mosquito bites.

Ocean El Faro: Mixed reactions

Resort very nice, rooms great with good size, food tasty, pools fantastic with separate pools for kids and adult only section with great pools. However, the beach is poor with rocks on the land side and some in the water as well. Entertainment was lousy. Lounge area in particular music was poor. In pool areas, music blaring throughout the day ... Too loud. The front reception area and lounge was wonderful with lots of space and comfortable chairs throughout. Staff great and always polite.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Beautiful Pool and Beach

The Majestic Colonial is a lovely resort. Our room was very large, comfortable and clean. We had two massive balconies - one overlooking the beautiful pool and one more private one with a jacuzzi tub. The pool was lovely and the beach was too. Very clean and very relaxing. Had no trouble getting beach chairs at the pool or at the beach. The food was ok. Liked the option of having a fresh omelet at breakfast and freshly cooked chicken or beef for lunch. The Teppanyaki restaurant was excellent. We [... read more] did not care for the seafood restaurant. The other restaurants were ok. Staff were excellent - friendly, helpful and always seemed to be so happy and in good cheer.

Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Loved this resort!

The resort and grounds were beautiful. We upgraded to a Privileged room - it was well worth it! The room was impressive and spacious with comfortable beds and a modern bathroom. The balcony had a hammock and great view - a nice place to retreat to when it rained. The dining was fantastic - we enjoyed all of the restaurants, though the buffet was so good it wasn't even necessary to go to the à la carte restaurants. The coffee house was a real treat - it was tucked away near the shops (we waited [... read more] too long to find it). The resort staff were very nice. Unfortunately the vendors were on site certain days during the week - and we found them aggressive. The birds at the resort were delightful - some were real characters and there were quite a few ducklings. We really enjoyed our encounters with them. The beach was beautiful to walk on - instead of seeing only other resorts - we saw palm trees and a more natural setting. There was some seaweed - which was not bothersome to us, and was cleared off the beach regularly. It was possible to snorkel right off the resort beach because there were coral reefs there. The animation team was lots of fun. The evening shows were entertaining. We did one excursion to Catalina Island - it included great snorkeling, was all-inclusive on the island, and had a beautiful sandy beach. I would definitely return to this resort.

Secrets Cap Cana: Beautiful resort - excellent service!

This resort was fantastic. Best service I’ve ever had. From the personal concierge, to the towel helpers, and wait staff. Everyone had a smiling face. The food was pretty good too - especially the breakfast buffet and the French restaurant. I wish there was more variety of entertainment in the evening. The biggest pain point was really not being able to make reservations for dinner. Every night we waited over an hour to be seated. And, there is only the lobby bar open to pass the time - which  [... read more]meant it was always packed. Even with the dinner wait times, this place was excellent and I’d recommend it to anyone!

Impressive Premium Punta Cana: Nice resort overall

We loved the layout of the resort, with four separate pools and a nice beachfront location. Not too much to do independently - we didn't see the free water toys, and the sea here isn't really conducive to kayaks or SUP anyway. We were Premium and a little disappointed that 'premium'drinks were available at one bar only, and even then, only if specifically requested. Room was very nice but no 'pillow menu'was ever offered. Overall, the resort is good value for money and is striving for 5 star, bu [... read more]t let down by silly service failings.

Grand Memories Punta Cana: Staff is not good especially bartenders

All around the resort is OK it’s clean the rooms were clean the area is clean the food was good but grand memories I was very disappointed with.When we first got there and went to the bar the bartender was unprofessional rude did not know how to make a drink did not care about our concerns and would not listen. Our room did not have any water I called three times nobody came to Give us any until I got an email from a random lady asking how our stay was Again I enjoyed the food the hotel was c [... read more]lean but the staff was not very good and did not care about our concerns.This may be random but this is just what happen with us.Also one big thing is all the bars and places close down at 10 PM at grand memories so we could not get a drink anywhere after 10 PM

Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana: Loved It.

The hotel was everything I expected from a 5star rated hotel. Room, hotel landscaping, beach, food and staff were excellent. The beach has the white sand and palm trees that we like and the water was warm and safe even for non swimmers. The food throughout the hotel was great and we especially liked the salmon and tuna meals at the Waves restaurant. Will certainly return.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Amazing Hotel

The beach was fantastic - always room under the palapas. The food was great at all a la carte restaurants except Brasilian where the meat was not cooked properly - too tough. The room was great as well as cleaning staff. Everyone was always ready to help. Restaurant reservations were easy to make from the app of the hotel, either on your phone or on the screens in the lobby. Fantastic 14 day holiday.

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Excellent resort

First time at this resort and we were very impressed. We were greeted by our butler, Isaias and he was fantastic. Always available to look after our every need but not hovering. Anyone who is lucky enough to have Isaias as their butler will not be disappointed!! A shout out to Dimitri, who was waiting to greet us every day on our way to breakfast, and Elroy, the bartender at the beach swim up bar. Really can't say enough about the hospitality of staff member that we met. We will definitely [... read more] be back.

Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort Spa and Casino: Amazing resort

This resort was exactly as advertised. newly built white sand beach so many choices of food and drinks beautiful and comfortable room with balcony and ocean view friendly and helpful staff We had a wonderful vacation.

Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort Spa and Casino: Lopesan Costa Bravaro

This hotel was fantastic all around and will only get better. It’s a 10 month old resort, staff is friendly but not always efficient due to language. This resort is a mix of French, Russian and English so it’s understandable. The beach is awesome, the facilities excellent. Food is somewhat bland but ok. The spa is excellent as well. This resort offers you coffee shops to casinos You won’t regret your choice if you come here. Make sure you get towels early and get your seats by the pool  [... read more] This is the one problem. Also it’s worth going “unique” for the extra benefits you get as a unique guest!

Riu Palace Punta Cana: Stunning resort

We loved everything, the grounds, the beach with natural shed under the palm trees, the food, the outdoor restaurants, the specious rooms with high ceiling, with a big flat TV, everything working like a clock amazing service, everything was resolved in literally no time, a lot of facilities for old people, the tennis club coaches especially Christian and the day entertaining especially Jaime, the dance teacher. We had awn wonderful stay !

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Punta Cana: FABULOUS REORT! FOR EVERYONE

IF YOU get bored here its not hard rocks fault! lol...the restaurants were all amazing and we loved the pizza especially ,loved how all the pools play different levels of music and don't forget to sample lunch at each of them.. all have different options! we were in building 7a and found it a great location..close to beach and restaurants and steak house ..which also served breakfast..they all have same breakfasts we found but the ones down by beach seemed quiter to get into with no lineups  [... read more], but the main buffet at main lobby was always lined up...and the beach behind the kids pool always had umbrellas etc available and had a bar right there! the waves were big but so much fun..under towers strong tho..saw a few people that needed to be helped by the very diligent life guards so don't go in to far ! we found the staff truly lovely and very easy to communicate with ..they were all so happy..honestly happy..singing away and always trying to do what ever they could to make your stay great..and we didn't feel pressured to tip to get good service [ even tho we did as we know what a big difference it truly makes for their lives and how hard they work ]..loved the over all experience and had a ton of fun! we probably wouldn't go back as a couple but will defiantly go back with a group and family!

Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort Spa and Casino: Beautiful Resort BUT!!

Our vacation started off with about an hour delay leaving as the Sunwing flight crew couldn't get ground transportation to the airport. (poor excuse - weather or mechanical problem acceptable). I will never go on another vacation that has these horrible flight times again and it seems that's all Sunwing has. Once we were at the hotel we were at the head of the line, so check-in took no time at all. I liked that our wristbands were also the key to our room. We got a nice surprise, our room  [... read more]had been upgraded. Our room was big and beautiful. I had a few complaints that should be easy to fix. We only had 1 small bottle of water in our room ( in a country where you are not supposed drink the water). This is the first hotel I have ever been in that didn't have kleenex in the bathroom. The room had a nice big closet but it only had 3 hangers in it. This is the first resort I have been that has a 24/7 restaurant. Which was great because it was after 11pm when we got there. The service was fast and food was good. We only had to make reservations once for the a la carte restaurants. We ate at a different 1 every night except 1 which we ate at the buffet. No complaints at any of them. My favorite was the Japanese. The grounds were beautiful. Couldn't believe how mature the gardens looked for a new resort. Infinity pools all over. The Boulevard has just everything you could want to do. The casino is still not open. The beach and the pools are beautiful, but the BIG problem with this hotel is the chairs at the beach and the pool. The first morning we got out to the pool late, so we were expecting to have a hard time finding a chair. But the next morning we were down by 7. There are signs up saying no reserving of lounge chairs. But by 7 there were very few chairs that didn't have a towel on it and very few people at either the beach or the pool sitting on them. I have no idea what time these people were down there at. Morning 2 we got our chairs and went to breakfast. Now this is a first of any resorts I've been to. When we got back our stuff was still there but our chairs were gone. There was a gentleman sitting by us that said he had told them to not take them we were coming back. He said the worker at the towel shack had told a security guard to take them. Don't know why they picked on us but there was still a lot of chairs with no one sitting on them. After some discussion with the towel guy and the security guard another worker was going to get us chairs. Have no idea who he stole them from. This was quit the discussion with everyone around the pool. You could watch several times a day, everyday the staff removing peoples things from their chairs and carrying them away. Supposedly more chairs were on order. You felt like you couldn't get up and go to the bathroom or go in the pool because your chair might be gone when you got back. One morning I sat on another couples chair to make sure no one took them while they went for breakfast. I found this very frustrating and I don't think I would come here again at this time of the year. One night I went to get clean beach towels for the next morning but there weren't any. The next morning when I went to get clean towels there were a couple of girls that asked for an extra towel. My thought was that people were getting more than 1 towel and saving a chair at the beach and 1 at the pool. If the people working in the towel booth would only hand out ONE towel like they are supposed to this might help with the chair problem. I think this resort could use another bar on the beach. There are only 2 bars down by the beach and large pool. One is for Unique guests. There were very few people using it all day. The bartenders did handle it well at the bar the majority of people used. They had the people line up on both sides and kept telling them to move over. This was a fair way of doing it. They had a cart set up on each side of the pool with drinks. I didn't get a drink from these as there was not a cooler keeping the water or mix cold. Just a big bucket of ice. They could also use more waitresses working around the large pool. Most of the time it seemed like there was only 1 on the other side of the pool. I've been to other resorts that had places with machines that you could go get your own water, juice and pop. I think they could use these here. Leaving our flight was supposed to leave at 9:20 pm but it got delayed by 2 hours. I liked they left us at the resort. But it was 1 of the other passengers that told us first that it was delayed not the Sunwing Rep. We were finally in the air at 11:50. LONG DAY!!!

Excellence El Carmen: Excellente Resort !

Beautiful modern hotel; well laid out. Beach is perfect. Amazing staff and entertainment! Great food, awesome Martini bar. Spa is heavenly ! Great place for couples to relax and have a romantic getaway. Loved it ♥️

Occidental Punta Cana: Perfect get-awat

I was very impressed with the cleanliness of this hotel. There was always someone raking or sweeping or scrubbing or painting. It was well laid out with pools strategically placed throughout the resort. Both the pool and beach had ample seating. The pool was very clean and warm. The beach was beautiful. The beach was raked often and always has security. It was a wonderful holiday and we look forward to returning next year.

Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort Adults: Very Nice Adult Resort

The grounds were very nice and the room was very clean and not at all musty smelling like some Caribbean all inclusives. There were plenty of chairs available around the adult pool and the adult beach. However there were not many chairs with shade on the beach. The beach itself was very clean with only a little bit of sea weed. The dress code in the restaurants was quite relaxed and the food was good but not great in the specialty restaurants. Overall it was a very relaxing holiday and good valu [... read more]e for the price.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Great resort and best location!!

This is our 3rd time visiting Punta Cana and this hotel exceeded our expectations. Great beach and upgrading to the Colonial Club was the best experience ever. Eduardo our butler met all our needs and kept us informed about the daily goings on etc. This is the first Caribbean resort we have been at that had absolutely no lack of space, loungers and 24 hours food. Didn't matter what time of day or where we were heading, there was always a place for us. No line ups and the resort was kept e [... read more]xtremely clean.
