Catalonia Royal Bavaro: No comment

I stayed in this hotel just to sleep found it very boring no activities to do during the day The family side had more excitement during the day. Never will I book with an all adult resort. The buffet was small and not selection to choose from. The only thing I can say it was absolutely clean at all times and most of the staff were really nice

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Majestic Colonial 4 week stay

I ❤️ the Majestic Colonial We have been several times. There are 2 buffets for breakfast, one that opens early at 7, and closes by 10, but don't worry as the beach buffet opens at 930 and stays open until 5. The servers are friendly and quick to seat you and get your drink order. Table cloths in the one buffet and more casual at the beach.Several restaurants for supper choice, two require reservations. I found the food has not been as good as in past years, maybe because of covid and tr [... read more]ying to get back to norm. The food was overly buttered, or salty More deep fried, or over sauced. You will not walk away hungry, but I sometimes found it lacking satisfactory Always clean, always friendly. The grounds and lobby are beautiful. Colorful flowers and the tiny hummingbirds surround the walkways. The pools may be missing a few 1" tiles, but you see maintenance working, painting, replacing tiles. Some of the servers Joel at swim up, Meceadis and Alexis at lobby and sports bar. Femmy at restaurant. The entertainers work so hard to involve you in activities. Their shows, if you have never been are very entertaining, however after 4 weeks ..... The rooms are large but feel damp. We had a room near swim up bar and that is where water aerobics and games are. I personally found music far too loud. Their Thursday vendors are super annoying as they push and pull to come to look at their items. If they were to back off, more people would look and probably buy. Their casino is small. The sports bar is great for anyone wanting to catch a game and meet fellow sports nuts. The washrooms are cleaned frequently which is a plus. This resort is large and is connected to its sister resorts which you cannot use. The maid Danida was so kind to us, ensuring we had our coffee, towels and tp. Even the guy topping up bar fridge, asking if we needed anything. I heard some people say they weren't getting certain things(pop of choice or extra beer) so I told them to speak up People are nor mind readers. Never been a person to repeat resorts, but when we found this one....... It's totally amazing. There is a small mall outside resort but again you will get bombarded. This resort is a 4 out of 5 More maintenance needs to be done and some food improvements. Overall, it is absolutely beautiful with friendly welcoming people ( Jacob and Fransisco) Decent food, clean accommodation with large room, very comfy mattress. Beach goes from miles. Majestic area is ideal for jumping in ocean other areas are rougher.

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Great Resort!

We had a wonderful week at the adult only El Beso resort. I don’t have a lot of all inclusive experiences, but I was expecting a sandy beach, palm trees & decent food, and it delivered - and more! The food was surprisingly good and plentiful with lots of selections at every meal. It was difficult to get reservations at the a la cart restaurants (a frantic 07:00 am game on their website, with everything booked solid in 30 seconds - literally), but the buffets were actually great! The pools  [... read more]were lively and very much a party atmosphere, which I would have taken part in some days if I wasn’t there with my mother, so the beautiful beaches were where we spent our time. Extremely opulent lobby, and very nice rooms. The staff were a joy to deal with as well.

Ocean El Faro: Great staff can be great hotel

Like most reviews beautiful hotel clean but complete lack of chairs by pool and beach nobody likes getting up in the middle of the night to reserve chairs and restaurant booking with app is completely ridiculous must be done at 7 am no relaxation for holidays will not go back

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Majestic Elegance club Feb 22-March 1st, 2023

This was our 5th time back, but the first since Covid, and it didn’t disappoint. It was as Majestic as we had remembered, and we had a fabulous week of fun in the sun. From beautiful beaches, lots of great restaurants, to dancing at night in the courtyard under the stars, it was everything we had been missing, and dreaming of. There are no Covid rust ructions in place, and if it’s a concern for you be sure to pack some travel size hand sanitizers, and wipes to take along. We were in the club [... read more] section of the Elegance, and want to give a shout out to Our butler, Santiago who made it his mission to find us everyday, and to take care of our every need. Also want to acknowledge Yanibel for her excellent service in the courtyard in the evenings. Her warm welcoming smile, and pleasant conversations made our evenings that much more enjoyable. Yulanni from the entertainment team serves high praise for her constant presence, friendly greetings, and friendly smiles. Our room attendant, Tannis was amazing, and our room, and fridge were kept top notch. This hotel is a true 5 star, and we left with a suitcase full of happy memories which we will treasure until the next time.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Nice resort

This was our 2nd time at this resort. Went in 2022 and 2023. We did see a decline in a number of services such as food prep, room cleanliness, entertainment. Wait staff at the pool and lobby bar were excellent. A la cart restaurants were good except fir the Sea to Sea. Claudia at the Spa was excellent.

Occidental Punta Cana: Wonderful resort

This hotel was amazing, the rooms were beautiful and clean and the cleaning staff were always their if you had any questions. The grounds were kept beautiful and everyone was so friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and the food was great, would definitely go back their again.

Caribe Deluxe Princess: Amazing resort

This has been our 15th time at this hotel but the first since covid. We were very impressed with the recent renovations, the only thing that we didn't like, is that the buffet restaurant is now much smaller. And that the beach bar is now vip only. Yes there is a bar at the other end, but you must wear shoes in the building. Most people walked into the back of the swim up bar to get a drink. Other than those minor inconveniences, everything else was great beach a+, rooms great, mattress very co [... read more]mfortable.

Ocean El Faro: Ocean ElFaro

Thus resort is amazing. Grounds are beautiful, staff is wonderful and food for the most part was good. Steakhouse needs a little attention...portions were way too small. The app for booking restaurants is horrible; it needs updating in the worst way. No one should have to wake at 6am in order to line up to reserve a table for dinner while on vacation. Someone should take all towels off the loungers at night in order to give all a chance to get a lounger. Entertainment staff were absolu [... read more]tely amazing particularly Johan! Miguel the bell boy was also amazing. Overall, once we got our proper rooms (3 out of 4 were wrong) it was a fantastic vacation. More washrooms are needed by the pools!

Grand Palladium Select Bavaro: Great Resort, Amazing facility.

We visited Grand Palladium Bavaro in the last week of February 2023, The Staff was super friendly. Grand palladium had a lot of things inside the resort that you can do for fun like Live shows, night parties, and All the great Pools. We had an amazing time there, the food was good quality, not so many options for vegetarians though. Only one day they missed coming and cleaning the room/Making the bed, the rest of the days they were pretty good. There were no covid restrictions it was  [... read more]pretty normal-like pre covid times. will recommend this to others as well.

Playabachata Hotel: Very dated resort

The rooms of this resort are in desperate need is repair and TLC. For the number of people staying at the resort they need to open more restaurants asap. Our room had mold under the Air conditioner, the safe was broken, the chair broke when my husband sat in it and there was a sewage smell that circled the resort. The crowds in the dining room were excessive making cutlery and plates and glasses impossible to find. There is a huge disconnect between the two different front desks so communic [... read more]ation is poor. Overall I wouldn’t rate the hotel ver high and will not return.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Resort review

The grounds of the hotel and surrounding area were beautiful as was the view from from our balcony. The staff was exceptional, especially the “entertainment.” Nightly shows were great. The food was ok but not great. The only al a carte restaurant that I would return to was the French one. All public spaces were really nice. Rooms are in dire need of a reno starting with bathrooms.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Melia caribe Beach

The hotel was 5 star and we were up graded to "Level" Had our private consearge. The suite was excellent. Pool just across the lane, although we spent most of our time on the beach which was beautiful. Everything seemed to be back to Normal after covid. Restaurants were good although some of the reserved dining was mediocre, lacking flavour All in All we had a wonderful time and thanks to Natalie everything was perfect.

Riu Republica: Riu Republica is a good resort for social activites and parties

We thought that the resort catered well to those who are looking to socialize and have fun with friends or strangers. There was plenty to do in the resort and there was something new everyday that the entertainment team had to offer. With that said, I don't think it is worth staying here for more than 7 days as things will get repetitive. The grounds were well kept, clean, and obviously taken cared of. The service is ok, some of the bartenders and waiters were rude, and some were happy [... read more] to be there. The food was ok. The a la carte meals were great and the buffet selection was diverse, if not spectacular. We would happily go again

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Average hotel

The hotel seems to be old and in my opinion requires improvements. For example: Closing rooms door from outside require slamming the door which creates a lot of noise. Room Cupboard are not closing properly. Some food in the kitchen is over cooked, especially chicken. It is basically impossible to eat. The good think is the staff. Always friendly and happy to help.

Riu Republica: Great getaway

The place was well staffed and the staff was all very friendly. The room was clean, cool and well stocked with amenities and beverages. The water pressure could have been better (but that's nitpicking) Pools were mostly well maintained, except the party pool which was foggy and had unknown objects floating (as to be expected.) However there is lots of other pools to choose from. The beach was well maintained and was an oasis, with lots of palm tree coverage. The food was good overall, howev [... read more]er make sure you eat a big dinner as the late night food in the sports bar is awful. Same items available elsewhere throughout the day were good, but it becomes inedible late at night. Also after 11pm/midnight - no good bar to just sit and have a quiet drink. Only options are sports bar and club, which was loud if your looking to just relax late at night. The entertainment was good overall, some hits and some misses . Don't bother going to the casino, it's terrible, small and a waste of an evening. Great vacation overall and thanks for the stay

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Would not go back!

Cindy is absolutely amazing! Thank you Cindy. I would not recommend this hotel. Dominican is beautiful but would not return to Ocean El Faro. Although there is a language barrier in another country, 90% of staff could not understand you and we could not understand them so anything you requested was “no” or was not correct what we asked for. The first 2 nights we did not put DND on the door, so we had coffee delivered at 10pm and staff just unlocked our door and walked in. The second night a [... read more]t 10:40 hotel staff were delivering towels and again, just unlocked our door and walked in. I called the front desk to let them know and they hung up on me. I think there just needs to be a timing restraint on rooms being equipped. I did not feel safe there at all. Our butler was really good though!

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Love the beach

The staff and the beach are amazing. Hotel doubled in size. Want to attract a younger clientele. Loud music too late at night. A timeshare is pushed way too much. No, We won't go back for a 4th time.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Small, Adult Only Until May

This is a small, well appointed resort. It is clean and well maintained. The rooms are spacious, but are lacking in drawer space and could benefit from more hooks to hang towels and bathing suits on. If you use facecloths, bring your own, they do not provide them. Likewise with Kleenex. The pool is in full sun until mid afternoon and the beach is beautiful! The food is quite good and the specialty restaurants do not require reservations and open at 6:00 pm. The music at the pool was too l [... read more]oud for my enjoyment, but I know that others like that. However, the music after dinner was lovely.

Bahia Principe Escape Samana: A great experience

With Nicole we were able to enjoy a great vacation at a great resort. Nicole was able to ensure any room arrangements were set properly. We had questions about transportation to and from the resort. Nicole answered the questions very quickly and follow up. To ensure there was no issues. Great pleasure working with here.
