Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Wonderful resort!

We have been to quite a few resorts in the Caribbean, and this is certainly the nicest! The rooms, food, location, activities and ambiance are top notch. What made the Majestic Colonial really stand out was the excellent service provided by the staff. Our needs (and wants) were addressed immediately, and always with a smile. Our butler, Eduardo, made us feel like we really belonged there, and it was nice to have a such a friendly, helpful person to call upon. The only glitch was that I go [... read more]t food poisoning at the Tuesday night (Jan 7) buffet.

Riu Republica: Nice place to stay

Riu Republica is really nice place to stay. The staff are friendly and well trained. Overall the place is clean, close to the sea and offers a lot of possibilities. The food is good. Drinks could be better in quality and variety but still fine. The beach is perfect for people who love waves. Swimming pools are good. We were happy to stay there.

Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort: HUGE FABULOUS RESORT

Large resort with 8 pools, bars and restaurants galore. Stayed at the adults only part which has it's own pool. This resort is well constructed with the best of materials and the rooms are beautiful. The hotel is new and they have a few issues to figure out and when they do it will be one of the nicest resorts in Punta Cana. On Bavaro Beach which is probably the best beach in Punta Cana. They are currently understaffed and they need to teach their workers some basic English as we have to learn s [... read more]ome basic Spanish. There are issues with food not being hot enough in the buffets and with so many allergies they have to label the food before someone suffers a severe reaction. Two simple steps that would mean so much. However staff is friendly and will go out of their way to please you.

Impressive Punta Cana: Terrible ... we got sick

It was our first time travelling without our parents (in our 20's) but we have travelled extensively with our parents and knew what to expect in a 5 star.... but not here. We are not sure exactly if it is the issues were systemic in the hotel because it's just terrible over all or because we were young and they didn't view us as guests. The check in process was inefficient and the staff was rude and unhelpful .... the food was beyond terrible. Two of us got sick and one even was hospitaliz [... read more]ed for 24hrs with a gut bacteria likely from food. Most of the staff was rude with the exception of a few bar tenders. service in the restaurants was slow and insufficient. In most of the restaurants it Took over 30 min just to be asked if we wanted something to drink .... then the dreaded wait time to actually get the drink. Insufficient service in all bars across the hotel.

Excellence El Carmen: Excellente

This is a 5* all inclusive and worth the money. Service is exceptional and a lot of selection at the numerous restaurants. Rooms are beautiful and large and well maintained. The beach is wide and very long and kept clean. Lots of chairs and palapa so no reserving is necessary. Great time

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Amazing Resort

Hotel was fantastique! We really enjoy the food and the staff at the bar in front of Grazie restaurant were amazing. Steak house was the best restaurant on the resort. My daughter enjoy the activities and love the surfing. Wave pool was her favorite activities. The show were OK. Beach party and tribute to Queen was by far the best. Thank you,

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Wonderful experience

This was my first time at an all inclusive resort. Loved everything from the transport from airport to facilities to food and staff. The beach and weather speak for themselves - amazing. There was such a variety of things to do / experience. The Vibe team really engage you and ensure your experience is memorable- dance lessons, Spanish lessons, evening entertainment, post entertainment dancing. My room was beyond comfortable and clean. My butler was kind, intuitive and helpful. While I th [... read more]ought i was going to an adult only resort, I quickly realized it was a family resort but it was a great experience all the same. The families all seemed relaxed and thoroughly engaged with their children. I look forward to doing this again some day.

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Amazing resort - do the upgrade!

Resort was fantastic!!! We did the diamond club upgrade with swim out room and it truly made our stay. The butler we had, JOHAN, was incredible and went above and beyond every single night!! Entertainment team was also amazing! The restaurants were incredible. Highly recommend

Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana: Gorgeous resort but some improvements needed

Hotel layout/design: Above average. Absolutely stunning design features with an easy to navigate layout. Very spacious guest rooms. Service: Average to below average. Very long wait times at restaurants (one night was over three hours for dinner). Slow bar service. I know to expect “Caribbean time” but the service was very disappointing, especially for the five-star design accommodations. Food & Drink: WAY above average. Best culinary experience I’ve had to a southern destination. Pre [... read more]mium bar selection (included with club level) was absolutely amazing. Wasn’t missing a thing we wanted! Pools/Waterpark: infinity pool was a beautiful design but pool temp was on the cool side. Ziva’s (the sister family resort next door) has a much nicer pool layout and a fun waterpark Beach: we had very windy weather on our trip so I think the beach would be nice if the sand would stay put. All the soft top layer of sand ended up blowing into the resort leaving a very rocky beachfront and rough waters so we didn’t get to experience much of it! Night shows: didn’t go to all but most were mediocre. However, the Michael Jackson show was very impressive! The impersonator was spot on and the back up dancers were very talented. Gym: AMAZING!!! Better than the gym I work out at home! I think because of this, the resort attracts a lot of fitness buffs so it was busier than I would expect at a resort but plenty of equipment available so minimal wait times. Spa: unfortunately was not yet operational on our trip.

Royalton Hideaway Punta Cana: Not what we expected

Here are some of the things we noticed this time around. No more meals on 4 hour flight. Seats no longer recline, no movie, only one sunwing rep on plane. Not a sun wing plane. This was the same there and back. Elite plus passengers not boarded first. Same on the way home. Adults only flight option would be a great idea and I feel people would pay extra for this service. At least group the kids together. Had to take a shuttle to another terminal in Toronto, flight take off delay over an  [... read more]hour, flight return delayed for an hour, Over 10 children under the age of 5 on this flight both ways, had to wait over 3 hours for luggage to get to room, finally After asking repeatedly and being told it was on its way, I walked to the very front of the resort and got The bags myself, resort is a 4 star, everything is dated, hideaway beach too small, lack of entertainment in hideaway section, had to wait to be seated in empty restaurants, Butler only booked places to eat, 1/2 of the things it mentioned when we booked did not happen with butler, Butler in Jamaica royalton was a true Butler, beach and staff were great. No $100 voucher towards hotel stay night prior to leaving as there has been in the past. smell of burnt food filled the cabin on the way home, flight attendants speak Ukrainian or something in front of guests both there and back. The resort was not built to be a royalton. Much like the white sands in Jamaica. Where the blue water in Jamaica and the bravaro are. This means the layout is much better as far as hideaway and diamond club are concerned. I have never written a bad review in the past. With that said I felt the need this time around.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Ocean Blue & Sand Resort vacation 2020

Our family decide it to go to this hotel base upon recommendation, this vacation was amazing, there was good variety in foods and hotels, the meats were amazing and the service at each restaurant was unparalleled. In terms of food and restaurants I loved everything. The activities was great for everyone and the kids all had a blast, from bowling to rock climbing we tried it all and again I cant say anything bad about it. The entertainers were all great and fun to be around, our favorites was mic [... read more]key mouse and sheri, they both engaged with us and talked to us and they made the whole trip better. I'd like to talk about the shows, normally I dislike going to shows but the Micheal jackson show was on another level and I truly think everyone should try to see it. The other shows were great too but the most memorable is the micheal Jackson show. Lastly I'll mention the dislikes, the only real criticism is the cart that goes around the resort, I think you guys should have at least 2 trains going on at all times to move people around quicker. Maybe we were just unlucky and always happened to be at the opposite side of the resort but it's the only real complaint I have.

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Excellent Resort

The Catalonia Royal Bavaro grounds are immaculate, plenty of food choices, friendly staff, poolside evening entertainment was great. The Barcelona Origens bartenders were outstanding. The resort is easy to navigate. The shows were good. We had fun, relaxed and would go back.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Punta Canada !

We stayed at the Grand Memories Splash with upgraded Black Diamond wrist bands which allowed access to the beautiful Royalton Resort next door. The resort was very clean and the grounds are beautiful with live peacocks roaming around. The splash park was great, the slides are awesome for older kids/teens. The beach is Gorgeous, and we rented cabanas by the pool which came with cold Coronas and a fruit plate. The restaurants were OK. But all the food is sourced locally which supports their econom [... read more]y so it's good you feel good eating. The entertainment was great ! They had a modanna tribute our 5 year thought was pure magic. The only downfall of the resort is the travel smart personnel will call relentless to persuade you into attending a pseudo "time share" presentation. Do not believe them when they say it's 30 minutes....it's 3 hours. But all together a beautiful resort.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Great resort

The room was very clean, always up to standard for a 5 star resort, the resort was always maintained as the hard working people did a good job cleaning, everyone’s friendly, this is a place for someone to relax and enjoy a luxurious getaway!

Secrets Cap Cana: Fantastic Staff!

We stayed at Secrets Cap Cana for 7 nights this January and it was absolute perfection! From the moment we exited the shuttle from the airport we were treated like royalty. Check-in was quick and we were escorted by our Concierge Eduar to our room. Eduar took the time to explain the resort as we walked to our room and full explained all the features of the room when we arrived. The room and resort were spotless and house keeping always did a great job. The beach is just as pictured, wide, palm t [... read more]rees, soft sand, never felt crowded and Nelson always made sure we had a drink in hand. We enjoyed all the restaurants and they offered a diverse selection of cuisine. We did not attend any of the shows as we prefer to eat later, and we had too much fun at the lobby bar being entertained by Ramone, Marco and especially Carlos! Carlos went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. No matter how busy the bar got, he always took the time to suggest new drinks and make them with flair! I’d especially like to single out our Concierge Eduar. I can’t say enough good things about him. He texted us daily with info about the resort and to see if we needed anything. He personally assisted us changing rooms. He set up a surprise birthday message on our door and rose petals on the bed. He arranged for a surprise birthday cake and romantic dinner at the French restaurant for my wife (she was very surprised). Eduar also visited us on the beach multiple times during the week just to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. He also brought us a charcuterie platter to our cabana on the beach, it was such a nice gesture. I’m not sure how many people a single concierge takes care of at one time, but Eduar certainly made us feel like we were his #1 priority. I think the difference at this resort truly is the staff. Everyone we met and talked to seemed to truly care about how we were doing and how they could make it better. We had some lovely conversations with La Diva and Mariposa and you can tell that they are passionate about making sure the guests here are truly enjoying themselves. If your looking for a laid back vacation at a spotless property on a pristine beach with staff that will make you feel like you’re their only customer, then this is the resort for you.

Royalton Punta Cana Resort: Fantastic resort

Overall experience was great...resort, food and grounds Pool bar was fabulous 🤗 More evening entertainment would be nice Foam pool party is a must to see and do I would recommend this hotel to anyone that wants a nice quit getaway

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Great Resort

Everything from staff to accommodate, food, drinks and entertainment exceed our expectations. Pool was clean and organized. Beach was well maintained. Staff attentive and pleasant. Transportation well timed.

Grand Sirenis Tropical Suites: Great Resort for Families

My family stay here Jan 5-12. Kids(14,11 &9) had a great time. Rooms were all freshly renovated and clean and it looks as thou they have done and are working on renovating more. The main pool and beach area was great. The waterpark pool is ok but could use little tlc. Kids didn't care thou they loved it. The entertainment team was great and had lots of things/competitions to do everyday along with great shows in the evening. Buffet was great lots of choices and my kids are fussy eaters they [... read more] were all able to find something to eat. We also ate at the Italian, Tex-mex, Japanese, American and Brazilian restaurants. All were good my favorite was the Brazilian my least favorite was the American diner. The coffee, donut icecream shop was awesome my kids loved going for ice-cream every day. We had to ask for are bar fridge to be stocked daily and once we asked it was done everyday. Service was good but most of the workers don't speak English so there is a huge language barrier. I've read other reviews about unfriendly staff. I can see where people would get that feeling but I truly think its just the language barrier... we had some wonderful servers who worked very hard to please us by the end of the week they would knew and had tables ready for us and were eager to serve. Overall we had a wonderful trip and enjoyed our stay. I will definitely recommend to other families. If you are looking for a great family resort with good food definitely check this resort out. Someone reccomended it to us and we weren't disappointed!

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Meh

Not much to do at nite but go to crowded lobby. Place for entertainment was hidden around a corner by front entrance. Pool and beach were impossible to get chairs, time share BS etc. However, food, staff, grounds were fantastic. Too many vendors at beach buggin you.

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Not bad

Grounds are beautiful, staff are friendly, beds were comfortable but room was tired. Food was good and love the fact that we didn’t need to book a la cartes. Biggest issue with this resort is that they provide unlimited towels so people took advantage and were reserving spots at beach and pool. Was almost impossible to find a chair. It was that or hotel simply does not have enough. The other problem was the vendors at the beach....constantly bothering people which I get but gets to be rather a [... read more]nnoying. Also be aware of time share when you arrive. They offer $200 to use at resort but of course they want you to come listen to pitch. My warning to these resorts is that they are driving away people like us. We come to relax and not get harassed.
