Excellence El Carmen: Great resort

We had an amazing time at Excellence El Carmen. The staff was always very friendly and helpful. The resort is kept very clean.The beach access was great. The beach was clean and the sea as well. We had access either to the beach or the pool. We had a room with a private pool. The room was clean to the standard of what I have expected. The pool was cleaned and chemicals were added every day. It would have been more ideal to have one buffet style meal rather than having the restaurants open on al [... read more]ternate nights of each other. All in all, we got treated like royalty and the resort is a dream. We definitely go back.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Enjoyed our Stay

We enjoyed our stay at BP Luxury Esmeralda in January 2020. the food was good, service nice, and grounds were tidy and beautiful. The beach was clean, the pools were clean also. Booking with our agent Kathleen was the easiest part. I wouldn't book without her advice. We enjoyed the Dominican.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Awesome place 😊😊😊

We stayed on the Adult Only side and were extremely satisfied with the room ...excellent view...the staff were friendly and helpful...the walk to the “Shopping Mall” was a pleasant 10 minute stroll(muchly needed after a great lunch) A great choice of restaurants to choose from for our suppers ( seafood,Italian,steaks,Japanese along with numerous buffets) We will definitely be back💝💝💝

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: What a lovely week!

I have just returned from a wonderful and relaxing week at the Majestic Colonial in Punta Cana! The grounds were immaculate, perfectly kept and so lush. The winding pool that snakes through the resort is such a refreshing break from the typical square/round pool and helps create a more private experience. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were a little dated, but still comfortable. My only negative experience was the La Gourmand a la carte restaurant...don't waste yo [... read more]ur time! Otherwise, I would definitely recommend the resort for a week of R&R!

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Beautiful Resort

The resort grounds are beautiful, the rooms are spacious, food variety is perfect and really well done. The staff are super friendly and always willing to help. They work very hard all around the resort for an enjoyable stay.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Great beach & food

The grounds, pool, beach, amenities, restaurants, casino, and disco were all really nice. The Golf course was in great condition and very easily accessible. the a la carte restaurants were the best I’ve had in DR. Having said all that, the rooms and balconies were not as advertised. Upon arrival our upgraded junior suite’s floor was soaking wet with hair and dirt pushed around by a mop. Was much tighter quarters than depicted online, even though the location by the beach was nice, I wou [... read more]ld upgrade another step. Room service is an extra charge!? Trying to order drinks to the room, they would limit us to 6x 8oz warm beer cans. Trying to stock up on cold cans in our fridge to avoid draft was impossible, and got hung up on a few times trying, even though we paid for it. Beyond that everyone was friendly and it was a really nice resort.

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Nice vacation

At first we were disappointed because we had a small room with two beds and we had specified one king bed. This was rectified two days later with a better room. As for the hotel we considered it a 4star resort rather than a 5 star generally. What we enjoyed was the friendliness of all the staff wanting to render our vacation as perfect as possible. The restaurants and food we excellent The poor side is the lack of chairs at the beach so we always had to get up very early to reserve the chairs.  [... read more]The spa facilities were not open to us unless we took a massage. So the rainy days did not permit un to enjoy the most expensive services. All in all we enjoyed our vacation but will not come back

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Great customer service

Judy was very helpful in meeting all our needs of having a close golf course, beach, pools and restaurants. The alacarte food was great, we had the Japanese, Mexican and steakhouse. The casino was also great fun. Thank you!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Wonderful Resort. Has Everything!

This resort has everything you want or need for an amazing holiday. The food is excellent, especially at the different restaurants. While it is a huge complex containing 7 different themed resorts, it is very efficiently run. Facilities and activities for all your vacation needs are all within the resort, including shopping. Quality entertainment shows every night. The pools are very clean, beach wonderful, although difficult to get seating in the shade at times. Prompt service for any room issu [... read more]es, and transport wait is only 5 min in all directions within the complex.. My 2nd time here and loved it. Definitely will be back.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Great resort!!!

Bahia Principe Punta Cana is a great resort, big but their was always a trolly within 5 min to take you places. We will definitely be back, food was great, service was fast. Staff is friendly, the overall resort was very clean. Beautiful beach of course.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Great Family Resort

The property is beautiful and they have spared no expense in both building and maintaining it. Obviously caters to families and the set up is great for kids, with beach, numerous pools and easy access eating facilities. For parents, golf set up is terrific if you golf and casino is user friendly if you are a gambler. Would not necessarily recommend for adults with no kids, but they have an adjacent adults only resort. They have an army of staff but service is uneven at times.Buffet food was d [... read more]ecent but not great, which seems the norm at these large all inclusive resorts. The a la carte restaurants all have beautiful interiors but quality of food even there was uneven. Overall the four adults and four kids in our entourage had a really nice week.

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Amazing resort

This is my 4 times at palm dreams beach we are treated like queens . Thanks again to Dorka and Wilkins and the staff’s . We were treated like VIP ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO. I also love the people that go buy selling great stuff.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Wonderful Time - Fabulous Staff

The Majestic Colonial Resort was the perfect size for us. We never had to wait in line and it never seemed crowded. The staff from the maids to the bartenders to the waiters and waitresses were very friendly and helpful. We couldn't help but notice how much fun the waiters always seemed to be having while working. The grounds and facilities were spotless! The beach was amazing and also spotless.

This was our second time at this resort and we had another amazing trip. Food was great and the beach is amazing Stalin was our waiter most meals and he made our stay fun! Can’t wait to go back again!

Grand Palladium Select Bavaro: Palladium Bavaro 2020

We've stayed at Palladium in Punta Cana several times, and had been given VIP status (special bracelet) the past 2 years. We did get the VIP bracelets again this year. However, the hotel did not honour a request for first floor rooms. Navigating stairs wasn't easy for my spouse and our companion's spouse. The amenities at the resort were fairly good, although food wasn't always very hot at some of the a la carte restaurants. We generally like Palladium (particularly the Bavaro section) because w [... read more]e've become very familiar with the surroundings. The staff are generally very friendly, and we've established personal relationships with some of them. One aspect that I don't like is the Travel Club. We are confronted by their agents at all parts of the resort, and they don't like it when we say we are not interested in what they are selling. They often employ trick tactics to get you to talk further with them. We sat through a gruelling 3 hours with them several years ago, and decided that Travel Club wasn't for us.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Highly recommend resort

The resort lived up to reputation lots of different entertainment choices high service with great staff who go beyond to make your stay enjoyable and stress free .The grounds are well maintained as well as the beach areawell maintained Rooms were clean and saw many get fixed before getting used again. .Food was good nothing special. I am not a big fan of night shows but the wife enjoyed .

Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Great resort!!

We were there for the week of Feb 21 to the 28th. We were well looked after from the reception upon arriving until we left on the last day. The Restaurants (4) were good with the Japanese one being the best. The buffets had a fantastic selection with chefs cooking up specials for us. The pools were great with a swim up bar. The grounds were very well maintained with all sorts of ducks and birds all along the wonderful treed pathways. The beach was nice but you had to be careful walking out becau [... read more]se there was some coral rocks here and there.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Fabulous Time

This resort thought of everything when it comes to what makes a vacation special. We did book premium and found checkin process smooth and welcoming....oceanfront room stunning to open curtains and be right on the ocean! Pools that are more like small lakes weaving along parallel to the extensive beach with warm shallow water.....ample beach loungers everywhere.....water sports, and free non motorized watercraft......something for everyone. Though we are a retired couple we still enjoyed the 18 [... read more] hole mini putt as well as strikers Bar with great pub food , massive tv, pool tables , bowling lanes, air hockey....and other games when a break from the sun was desired. In addition the shopping concourse is very nice with a good number of boutiques..this large central area also includes the buffet restaurants, a la carte venues , casino, and huge stage production area. Premium quests can use hydrotherapy area in spa daily for free which was wonderful to have a hot tub then plunge beneath the outdoor hydrotherapy treatment sprays...which overlooks the other pools and the beach. The gym is well equipped and free as well with classes in yoga, spin classes...Down by the beach there is daily water volleyball and beach volleyball , Zumba and water aquafit classes. The staff are fun and do a good job of getting people feel comfortable to join in. The Food overall was great, beef always tender, views from balcony’s of buffet restaurants are oceanfront......so nice,our preference over being indoors at fancier a la cartes. We did a few a la cartes but found the buffet has a great selection and if outside the view was just so beautiful.... all food was very very good......the wine not one we could enjoy.....so stuck to champagne and beer. Staff were very pleasant and easy to joke with.....mostly Spanish but communications good humoured. Totally enjoyed ourselves.....so much to do......so many things we didn’t have a chance to try........something for everyone. I highly recommend and was sad to go home

Ocean El Faro: Lovely resort

We thought the resort was well laid out with all the restaurants on one street . Loved the coffee shop. We enjoyed the lazy man river. For our 40th anniversary guest services graciously sent us a bottle of champagne with 2 glasses and chocolates. We enjoyed our rooftop hot tub and jacuzzi with 2 bathrooms. The food was really good and the staff were very helpful and kind. The main lobby is gorgeous.
