TRS Turquesa: Beautiful Resort

We loved the TRS Turquesa Resort. The rooms were lovely and all of them have their own pool which we especially loved. The food was great at all of restaurants. The main buffet is amazing with so much variety, but it was a bit busy and noisy for us, because it is the main buffet for the other hotels on the property as well, so we mainly went to the buffet at Turquesa. We didn't know going in that the property would be as large as it is, but because we were in TRS Turquesa which is the Adult  [... read more]Only Hotel, we could retreat to a more quiet atmosphere which is what we liked. Our only complaint was that there wasn't much entertainment in the evenings. There was a singer or a piano player in the lobby, but it didn't really provide the set up for a romantic evening of dancing. Otherwise, everything was wonderful and it was especially great having our own butler to book dinners and call the shuttle for us. Our butler was Nancy, and she was just incredible!

Grand Bavaro Princess: Very large resort

Had trouble with our room, door wouldn't close, had no hot water and our phone didn't work to call the front desk. Good thing we went with friends so they were able to help. We had to ask a grounds keeper to help us with the door as no one ever showed up. Some days we never had a room cleaning, so no replacement of water in fridge or coffee and no clean towels. Disappointed with lack of entertainment at night, just a Dj playing music

Occidental Caribe: Not a 4 star resort

Pools and beach are amazing That’s where it ends with this resort. A/C room was broken and 28 during day 27 a night. It was 29 outside Food on the buffet is worse than Cuba Cold/no variety. Smallest fruit selection I’ve ever seen To book the restaurants you need to be in line on Sunday at 6:30am or forget about it. Only book Sunday to Sunday so if you arrive Monday Tuesday Wednesday you’re out of luck. Not enough pool/beach chairs which is a disaster I have stayed at other occidental  [... read more]resorts and they were fantastic. This was awful. Show starts at 10pm, the bed sheets were supposed to be white but they were brownish white. Sometimes no hot water or cold water. The lunch pizza above the poolside buffet was great.

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Nice Resort

We loved the resort, although there were a few areas that were disappointing. Food was average Drinks were ok Room was very humid and our thermostat was not working properly. They came to fix it but it still didn't work. Also our patio door was extremely difficult to open, they came 3 times to fix it but again not well . We were constantly having to ask for towels, facecloths and hand towels, which we got very sparingly. Prices in the gift shop were outrageously expensive.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Fabulous Resort

Beautiful hotel, grounds, and service. Staff was amazing, friendly and very attentive. Overall, very clean and great beach area. Most staff were awesome but a few went above and beyond. Antonio and Orlando guest experience, Santiago and his team at the steakhouse, Joel in the main dining and beach restaurant and Gregorio pool bar. The pool activity staff were the best. They did everything to help our son-in-law who has mobility issues. They ensured a very positive experience for him as a new tr [... read more]aveller. The Japanese restaurant staff at the Punta Cana were great but we were disappointed we weren't sitting at the big table to watch the Chef. Overall, most restaurants had tasty food but was usually cold, especially the buffets. The Fish Market and Brazilian at the Esmeralda were the most disappointing for both food and service. Overall, a wonderful travel experience.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Great resort

The hotel is huge, grounds are very well kept, well manacured. Our room and bathroom were spotless. There were no shortage of pools to swim in or sit by, the beach was fantastic. You will not go hungry there are plenty of places to eat our favorite was the Thai restaurant, great food and very attentive staff. The only fly in the ointment for us was the line up for breakfast in the mornings, as I said it's a big place and there are lots of people. You won't be disappointed.

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: 6 out of 10

The hotel is not truly a 5-star property. The main issue was the food—it was often not fresh, sometimes overly salty, and frequently served cold. It felt as though some of the meals had been prepared the day before. The bathroom and shower were also quite old and had a damp smell. The entertainment was okay, and the hotel itself was calm and quiet, which made it good for relaxation. The pool was definitely the best part of the stay. Overall, it was a decent experience, but it did not feel lik [... read more]e a true 5-star hotel.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: GREAT RESORT

ROOMS WERE GREAT. SERVICE WAS PERFECT. ENJOYED BEACH AND POOL. GOLF WAS FUN AND CHALLENGING WITH THE WIND. ATE WELL AND WILL DEFINATELY GO BACK. STAFF WAS ATTENTIVE AND WILLING TO HELP IN ALL WAYS. VERY EASY GETTING AROUND THE RESORT AND MANY DIFFERENT PLACES TO EAT.

Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana: Exceptional Service, and Horel

Hyatt Zilara is exceptionally clean and well kept. The staff go out of their way to make your stay as pleasurable as possible. The food at the buffet and restaurants is above average for an all inclusive. The beach is white sand and their are tons of beach chairs available. This hotel is definitely the best of the best.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Excellent!

This was a beautiful resort. Gardens and greenery everywhere. Because the pool stretched throughout the resort, there were no big crowds around a central pool. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Good variety of food at the cental buffet. Rooms clean and well looked after.

Secrets Tides Punta Cana: Excellent resort!

Really enjoyed Secrets Tides. It’s a beautiful, upscale resort with a huge beach. Breakfasts and lunches were pretty good (though not outstanding), while dinners were phenomenal. Loved the Coco cafe. All the servers there were fantastic: Jenifer, Estrella, Romery, Rosanna, and especially Josefa who went out of her way to make our trip special. Would definitely go back to this resort if we visit the DR again.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Great resort

Staff were all pleasant. They need to monitor the loungers at the pool and the beach area for reserved spots that are not used. We observed people reserving loungers at the pool and the beach area for a number of hours and not use them leaving people not being able to take advantage of relaxing at the pool or the beach.

Riu Republica: Great Vacation

We were over the moon about our vacation. Had a great time. The resort has something going on at all hours of the days. Room was always cleaned, food was great, beach was amazing! We had zero complaints the entire trip and were satisfied with our decision to choose this resort.

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: We would never book here again.

****PLEASE NOTE: We stayed at the Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana, not the Fantasia as is listed here.**** This was my 3rd trip to Punta Cana in less than 2 years, and the 2 previous trips had been absolutely wonderful. This time was a completely different experience. I have been through breast cancer in the last year, and this was to be our "celebration of good health" trip. Our check in, which was well after midnight, took over an hour. The room was small, dated and uncomfortable. The beds wer [... read more]e hard as rocks. Our room flooded on the 3rd day while we were at the beach, with dark, brackish water. We came into our room to see 5 people with mops frantically trying to clear out the water, with our door wide open allowing free access to anyone going by. We went to the front desk to request a new room and were outright refused. I explained that I cannot risk infection due to potential health complications, but this was not considered and we were brought back to the room that had flooded. My partner and I then had severe food poisoning from the buffet, which was most unpleasant. We were sick flying back home and have not felt well since. What was supposed to be a relaxing, rejuvenating experience to celebrate health and healing was actually harmful to us both.

Punta Cana Princess: Beautiful beach!

Staff were lovely and went out of their way to help you. The room was clean upon arrival and cleaned daily. Most things worked (air conditioner was very loud , overhead shower worked , hand held did not). The food and service were both quite good. A issue that definitely needs to be addressed is that there were insufficient lounge chairs for guests (or some guests”saved ‘ more than they needed ?? ie two at beach, two at pool) , this was exceptionally frustrating (& not an issue I have run in [... read more]to for a very long time) ! Also they require additional shade structures (both at beach and by the pool).

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Wonderful resort

The Majestic Mirage is a first class resort. The resort is clean throughout. The food is amazing as there is lots of variety. The staff is wonderful as they are there to see you have great service and look after your needs. They truly want to help you enjoy your vacation.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Good Vacation

We stayed at this hotel in 2025 and had loved it so much went again this year. We stayed in the same room style and were Level and stayed in Level Grand Suite room. The hotel grounds were beautiful, rooms are nice and the resort in general is very clean and well kept. We found all staff, except for the Level Lounge, to be friendly and helpful. Check in was an extremely long wait and process as there was just no urgency by any of them and we were the only waiting couple to check in. They  [... read more]made changes to the Level since last year that were not clearly advertised and were disappointing. This may be because we booked in 2025 and they decided to implement changes in 2026…uncertain. But the changes were not communicated to us until check in. The Level Lounge concierge was pretty much non existent. Could no longer make reservations there and had to line up between certain hours at certain spots. The Level restaurants no longer had al la carte and were only buffet. All restaurants have good food, with the exception of the Italian. Both meals there were bad….the last one we couldn’t even eat. It was a mushy pasta ball. Pool chairs at the level pool….we never reserved one with a towel and were able to get one most days, although a few days it was difficult and had to drag from different spots. The main pool by the beach…no way you were getting a chair unless you got up in the middle of the night. The biggest disappointment was the status of glasses at all bars. There was no organization or systems for glasses and they were always scrambling to find a glass for a drink. Sometimes you got a martini in a paper cup or a low ball glass and sometimes you got a beer in an extra large wine glass or a glass mason jar at the pool bar….doesn't matter what room or package you book, you should get a proper glass/cup. They need a better glass system. We went to the beach once, but found that the pool and beach area was too busy, and there was never an opportunity to get a chair so we just ended up walking the beach. Overall, we would go back there and we would go Level, despite the changes, for these reasons..the lobby, the grounds, the room, the Level pool (the big pool at the beach is just packed and a free for all), the Level Buffet, again, so your not in the craziness of the main buffet, and the room service. There’s no fee for Level, so we enjoyed coffee and fruit and pastries every morning on our balcony over looking the garden view. Can’t beat that. If further changes are made to the Level, then for the price we would look elsewhere and probably go adult only.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Majestic Elegance Punta Cana

Majestic Elegance resort is beautiful. Beach is beautiful and there was no or very little seaweed. However, we had a horrible experience when we first arrived to the hotel. We arrived on February 23rd at 21:30 and after initial check in process we were told our room is on the second floor. We booked a ‘swim up’ room. We booked more than 6 months in advance to make sure we get a swim up room. We paid in full. It took us over an hour to persuade two ppl at the reception that we booked a swim up ro [... read more]om. Finally, they saw it in a computer that yes, in fact, we booked a swim up room. They were not professional at all and there was no apology. We spoke to customer service representative the next day and he was apologetic about the behaviour of front desk employees.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Beautiful Adults-only Resort!

Aquamarine was a lovely adults-only resort within Bahia Principe Grand. The pool was clean and alive with just the right amount of activity and and Bavaro Beach was stunning and only a 10 minute walk or quick ride on their resort transport. Having 7 à la cartes included was amazing and there were so many options to choose from. None of the restaurants disappointed and had good service and were beautifully decorated. The resort was clean and well maintained, our room was great. We will definitely [... read more] be back.
