Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Great Experience

I spent a week with my husband at Aquamarine and we loved our experience! I’ve met many friendly and amazing staff, especially Luciana and Juan! They are the most adorable people ever. The resort is clean, there is always people working so I’ve never felt without assistance in any second. A point to get better is to let guests from the other divisions to get drinks in any bar at Bahía Principe - I had the opportunity to spend some time at the Âmbar pool, but was advised that we couldn’t  [... read more]get any drinks near the pool, unfortunately. To get more drinks we would have to walk to the beach bar or come back to the Aquamarine ( what would take a long time for each or). Also, there was a bit of confusion on where the events were happening at night due to the rain that happened on a couple of days. But is understandable. On the other side, the food was great! The buffet and a la carte were amazing - except for the il olive / Mediterranean restaurante, all other restaurants, including Portofino (Italian), MEAT (amazing crab pie!!), the Japanese restaurant and the Brazilian rodízio… we had a great experience in all of them. Our room was always cleaned and restocked with water, coffee and pop. Thank you for this amazing service and we will be back to the Bahia Principe, For sure!

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Quiet and Intimate

Hotel was beautiful, clean and safe. Food was not great and entertainment was lacking! Very small and intimate. Resort goes quiet after 8 pm .. pools also close early. Not many a la carte options available

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Wonderful Resort!

The Resort was super clean, the grounds and Pool were very well maintained and over all the food was very good! The staff there were all very nice! The Room was dated however it was super clean and we were only in our room to change clothes and sleep! My only complaint was the beach did not have cover for their lawn chairs...I burn easily and so I did not spend too much time on the beach! Thank you.

Occidental Caribe: AVERAGE RESORT

The Hotel is so vast and it really, really needs a lot of TLC (tender loving care) My observation for our 12 days stays are as follows; Public areas are plenty but it tends to be crowded, especially during Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The Al Cazar, which is the main Dining/ Buffet area is always traffic and with all the huge side windows are open, which it allows few beautiful birds to help themselves to pick up foods from the buffet ; fruits, breads, rice, etc. in and out during breakfast a [... read more]nd lunch. I have picture on them. Beach lounges chairs are outdated and plenty of them are broken, that we need moved around the coconut trees in order to get some shade, since they don’t have any open hut 🛖 at all. Public washrooms are also problematic due to lack of water pressures, especially for the urinals in the men’s washrooms. This problem also occurred in our own assigned room that we need to flush the toilet twice or three times. We also experienced to be bitten by mosquitoes every night while we’re sleeping in our bed for the 12 nights that we stayed, in which we found them in the following morning fully feed from our blood 🩸. The food was salty and lack of serving spoons. People are using the same one from one dishes to another; pork, fish, or beef and fish. Our only consolation was that the staff were very friendly and as they said ´´ We are only working here ´´.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Amazing resort

Food was good, drinks were great, staff was amazing and friendly, and the resort was very clean! Love how all the resorts are connected so there shuttles take you to the others in seconds. Nice small shops at the resort with a cool coffee shop as well.

Finest Punta Cana: Superb Resort!

The resort is beautiful and the staff are terrific. We had private check-in and private check-out, awesome! They can't do enough for you. Service is unbelievable. We were a group of 8 family members. Food was great. Drinks were top shelf. Didn't want for anything. Beach service top notch for anything we wanted, food included! Definite 5 Star Resort all the way! The only issue we had was at the Dukes Seafood Restaurant. It took a little more than an hour to get us seated and just over [... read more] another hour to be served and probably would have taken longer if the Manager hadn't come and asked us how everything was lol. We obviously got lost in the kitchen shuffle as well :). Problem seemed to be that we were a large group of 8. With that said, we noticed that others who came in behind us were seated first at tables for 4. They really should have pushed 2 tables together for us or at least asked if it would be ok with having 2 tables side by side rather than waiting for a larger table to empty for us. Perhaps we should have mentioned that at the time although we did not, lesson for us as well. We did mention this in our review with the concierge for future reference for them.

Serenade Punta Cana Beach and Spa Resort: Beautiful resort

We enjoyed our stay in this resort. Food was amazing. Clean. Nicely maintained garden. Drawback was the language, everyone do not speak English. It was noisy. Rooms are not sound proofed. It was our 40th anniversary and they put a banner with a birthday wish & a Happy birthday cake which was not appropriate for our celebration

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Not worth it

16 of us, ages 9 and up. Booked Diamond club, worth it if you want to eat at restaurants in the Royalton Punta Cana which are definitely better. Grounds were nice but accommodations/washrooms dated. Food was typical all inclusive, nothing spectacular. Games (billiards, air hockey etc) required $$; for what we paid, should have been included. Not much for night entertainment, no disco, only sports bar open late. We did enjoy the Rock show.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Very beautiful resort

The resort was amazing with so many amenities. Food was very good and the space was beautiful for pictures. Had a very fun time at the pool and entertainment at night. Staff was very accommodating as well since we needed to switch our room

Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort: Ok resort

Ok resort beautiful grounds ok food service 3/10 not much entertainment I wouldn't go back or reccomend. Beach was beautiful. The al la carts were not that good on Japanese. Drinks ok weather amazing.

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Would not recommend

Resort is poorly managed. Food was terrible, being recycled from left overs. I actually had food poisoning from eating a calamary mini burger. Room service was terrible, bathroom sinks not cleaned, dirty face towels were left the way they were and not replaced. We had to tip the cleaning staff the next day to make sure the room was properly done. In 5 days, we must have killed at least 5 to 6 cockroaches in the room. Would never go there again.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Amazing resort

The facilities were great. The staff were very attentive and the entertainment staff were so engaging they encouraged us to participate. They went around and greeted everyone every morning. We have been to this resort 5 times and are planning to go back in the fall of 2023

Riu Republica: Not the greatest

Not the greatest This place is Definitely not a 5 star I would not recommend this place to anyone. The beach is the greatest except as a single woman being told by a local vendor walking on the beach to wake up and buy something from him, really irritated me

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Fabulous resort

We thorouly enjoyed our vacation at Iberostar Grand Bavaro.Service is incredible at this resort.The resort is very well maintained.Staff are amazing,there is absolutely nothing they will not do so you enjoy your stay.We hope to return again.

Dreams Flora Resort and Spa: Very good resort

Initial check in at the Preferred desk was a nightmare. After a 3 hour wait we finally achieved our request of a ground floor pool view junior suite room. Our butler was amazing after the initial kerfuffle but paying extra for Preferred pools and restaurants is not worth it. Pool view rooms may not be poolside. You may be assigned a third floor room looking at the pool a few hundred yards away. Food was generally good, cleanliness was excellent, pools were amazing and most staff were stellar [... read more]. We always tipped generously for every service and every drink. It was appreciated. Please note that the specialty restaurants close on certain days every week. This is a large, beautiful resort with some areas still in need of completion. This is not a suitable resort for anyone with mobility issues as one elevator was not working and it is a long walk to the beach from the buffet area.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Beautiful and clean Resort

In this review I need to mention, this is our 4th trip in Punta Cana to different resorts. We are not picky and adjusting to any situation. This is a beautiful hotel that was kept clean all the time. The beach was (lucky for us) clean from seaweed and so is the water. The travelers in the hotels beside Royalton were having trouble getting to the water because of the amount of seeweeds in and out. Room: The locations are away from all the night entertainment. which is good for families w [... read more]ith kids. Big enough for a couple with 1-2 small kids, but the bath tab at the entrance is more suitable for a young couple. I kept all our stuff away so the room could be clean easy, but the service was only to change the towels and fix the beds. Food: We are not a restaurants people. The buffet in the morning is like all other resorts as well is dinner that we have been in the Dominica. Entertainment: We liked it very much for a change from other resorts we have been.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Amazing Resort

Very clean, professional and friendly staff and amazing food. We had a fabulous vacation and any time we asked staff for anything they were always quick to respond and wanted to make sure we were always having a great experience.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Great Resort

The hotel was great with wonderful views. We had a room with city and bay view and it was one of the best views we have had in all our travels (being docked at St Marteen with a balcony looking at the city was close lol). People are all friendly and they do try to speak English as best they can. Food was great with lots to choose from. Beach was good and the ocean was nice and warm at this time of year. They keep it clean and lots of loungers to use with shade. We had an incident when we [... read more] were going to get a message at the Spa (fire next door) and we had to be cancelled. they gave us a 30 minute free massage 2 days later to make it up to us, which we can't really complain about as the incident was not their fault. We would go back to this resort if the price is right for sure.

Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana: Best vacation yet

All the positive reviews are true. This resort is fantastic and you will not want to return to your daily life. Don’t miss out on the water park (such a good time) and the entertainment activities they have during the day and evenings. The resort and rooms are also very clean and well maintained. A few people made our vacation especially wonderful. Thank you very much to Diocedy for the big smile, and fresh omelettes every morning. Thank you Monica at the breakfast buffet, Bryan and Juan fo [... read more]r bringing the positive energy and engaging everyone in activities and to Gregory at the Snack Bar. All the staff are truly wonderful and set this resort apart from anywhere else I have been. Bring extra sunscreen. The sun is extremely strong and the gift shop is overpriced. Pros: - Options to use Zilara or Ziva amenities (if you are 18+) - Very clean and well maintained - Endless food options with food stands for lunch daily - Fruit stand at the beach - Waterpark - Incredibly kind and helpful staff - Overall design and detail of the resort and restaurants - Safety (felt very safe being in the cap cana community) - Travel to and from the airport is seamless and quick Cons: - I did not enjoy the food at Noodle and Thread, but the staff were incredible just like everywhere else - The beach has sargassum which seems to be more seasonal based on other reviews. The staff work extremely hard to clean it up, but I think trip central should note this somewhere so at least travelers are prepared if the beach is important to them. You can still swim and enjoy the water once you go out a few meters from the shoreline. Some days on our trip were clear and we could see fish. I would not let this deter you from visiting the resort as it has so much to offer. - The pools can be a bit of a "club" vibe but if you want a quieter vibe the beach is perfect for that

Occidental Punta Cana: Occidental Resort

Very clean, pools amazing, resort very large, lots of walking. Buffet very good, lots to choose from and amazing deserts. Steakhouse and Italian restaurant both very good. Beach was clean, maintenance works clean every day
