Secrets Royal Beach: Very nice resort

We enjoyed Secrets very much, however, we were quite disappointed that we were informed after booking and payment that half the resort was closed for construction. We would have loved to wander and use the other pools, restaurants and facilities. We could also hear construction from our unit. The room was very spacious, clean and new. The staff was top knotch! The entertainment was the best I had seen in any resort. The food was excellenté! Great pool and Beach.

Occidental Caribe: Excellent Resort

This was my second time at this resort. The resort is amazing , very clean, lots of activity and excellent customer service. The only complaint I would have is that the food was always cold. There was a good variety and plenty of choices but was always cold. Other than that had an amazing holiday, would highly recommend.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Amazing Vacation!

Grounds were beautiful, well kept. Clean rooms, great food. Very much the best family vacation spot! Many pools to hang by, the casino and disco are open late foe entertainment. Everything you need on one ground

Grand Memories Punta Cana: Great resort/poor service

I went to this resort with a group of 4 people. The overall resort was great and it was really nice knowing that you can go to the Royalton freely to enjoy the entertainment. The resort was clean and there was a lot to do. The service in the buffet was extremely poor, you wouldn’t get any service until you were done your meal. The refrigerator in the room was hardly filled and I had to call to get service.

Riu Republica: Beautiful resort

The hotel is clean. Staffs are very friendly. The entertainment every night is awesome. They have varieties of delicious foods. I could not wait to go back. This place is a paradise. I recommend this resort to everyone.

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Amazing resort

Beautiful resort, excellent food, great service, friendly staff. We definitely recommend going to this resort. We stayed 10 nights in November and the weather was terrific. The beach was large with lots of cabanas for shade.

Riu Republica: 9/10 would Pacho Disco again!

Just returned from a 7-day stay with my girlfriend thanks to Marnie's help from the tripcentral team. Overall we were very pleased with the resort, would definitely recommend it for someone looking for a mix of fun and relaxation, especially younger to middle aged couples. Food - 8/10 - some of the a la carte restaurants were a bit below expectations (and not actually a la carte), Kulinarium was the best for us Drinks - 9/10 - pours were generous when prompted, selection was good, would be n [... read more]ice for a 5-star rated resort to have premium liquor though Beach - 10/10 - beach was fantastic, beautiful white sand, little to no seaweed, lots of space. Bit wavy but hey it's a beach and it's fun! Pools - 8/10 - no issues really with pools, good selection, just a bit of a boring layout - big rectangles. Water slides were fun for a bit Staff - 9/10 - had a great experience with the team, they were engaging and fun, bar and server staff were attentive and polite for the most part Room - 8/10 - solid room quality, beds were decent, service was good, again just a bit of a plain boring layout Entertainment - 7/10 - while staff made the most of what they had, the shows were mediocre overall, and everything was too structured - every evening you'd have the exact same schedule - dinner, music, show, bar, disco - rinse/repeat. Would be nice to have a bit more variety as we've seen at other resorts in Mexico. Highlight was the Pacho Disco - lots of fun, except the Saturday night where it was a bit greasy, seemed like more people came out of nowhere. Overall 9/10!

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Beautiful, but needs some attention

The grounds are the best of the Bahias in Punta Cana. Very clean and mature, and maintained. The rooms are very dated, but clean, but much larger than the Ambar rooms. I would choose to stay here over the others for location and size of rooms, but the bedding needs to be updated and furniture painted. We did spend most of our time on the beach, which is awesome! Food was very good, drinks too!

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Great Resort

The resort was very modern, clean, unique design and great entertainment. Food was great although service was not always the fastest. The beach was beautiful and close by as the resort is small enough for a short walk to all restaurants and amenities.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Amazing resort

Everything was excellent. The service the food and the amazing staff. Would definitely return. Our butler Willy was the absolute best. Went above and beyond our expectations. By far this is the best place down south we have ever been

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Great vacation!!

The great: beach is stunning, clean and well kept property, great food, drinks and service, great gym, Fun sports bar. The only thing I didn’t like is that there was no sit down restaurant (without kids) at the beach. The bbq was nice but I like a salad and buffet beach side. It’s a bit of a walk to the beach which is no big deal when there is a lunch place. Wish some hinges were offered to Aquamarine like beach drink service and the coffee shop. Overall beautiful experience!

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: One of the best resorts

The Room was amazing. Food was great. Service was for the most part very good. Beach was beautiful. Grounds were very well kept. Pool was the only let down. It was very dirty. Skimmers were not working and it was not circulating for the entire time we were there.

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Perfect Retreat & Reconnect Spot

I booked this hotel for my daughter and my son-in-law as a getaway during a busy time of life – buried in work with three little children. It was the perfect refresh, relax and reconnect experience for them. Perfect.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: excellent resort

everything-food, beach, room excellent, only disappointment was 2 plus hr delay at Punta Cana airport due to poor Sunwing management of situation, there was at least 8 sunnwng reps there but no one coordinating anything

Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort Adults: Melia Punta Cana - not up to expectation

10 of us stayed in the Level area of this resort for 7 days and 4 stayed for 14 days total starting November 8th, 2019. We have been to this resort before and some of us found the food less than before. The buffet was not good (except deserts) and the Steakhouse was atrocious, the service there was terrible and the orders were all mixed up both times we went there (staff needs to learn to serve properly). The Italian restaurant was my favorite with great service and food and appetizers. Th [... read more]e casino is too small and not well utilized. Basically only 1 table of each BJ, poker, roulette. craps. Few slots for such a big resort. Rides to the Level area were excellent first week but limited 2nd week. No known reason. Likely will not return to this resort for the price or value.

Riu Bambu: Wonderful holiday

My husband and I visited the riu bambu Nov 14th to 21st 2019. This is a very lovely hotel rooms were great beach was superb! We have been to the riu hotels many times in the past and always found them to be good resorts. If I had anything negative to say about the resort the only thing would be that the beds were like sleeping on a slab of wood. Very hard!

Impressive Punta Cana: Beautiful Beach!

Half an hour from the airport. Check in was fast. We were asked if we wanted to upgrade. They started at $500 for our 10 day trip...he finally finally asked if we would pay $300 and when we said no he asked us what we would pay. Another couple who checked in at the same time paid over $300 US. Not much difference...they had a private area on the beach, but had a longer walk to the bar, an ocean view and beer in their fridge. We were in building 16 overlooking the Japanese restaurant.My husband h [... read more]as knee problems so our location was excellent as we were close to the buffet and lobby. Our room was great. Housekeeping always had our room done in the morning. We always hung our towels to dry, but often they were replaced with new ones. Face cloths were not provided which is not unusual so we brought our own. We ate most of our meals at the buffet. We could always find something to eat. Although after 10 days we did get tired of the food. Staff were always on the move but they seemed very unorganized. Their manager was always frowning and bossing them around. It seemed that the manager's priority was to ensure the dirty dishes were removed from the tables not in serving coffee, water or wine. We were also told that the waiters were given direction to only pour very small amounts of wine...even said that they would get in trouble if caught by their manager. The wine was terrible, but at the 4 star resorts it's what I expect. The beach was beautiful. No seaweed, but some small roots from palm trees down the beach that had blown over and into the water. If you like to walk the beach, you could go in both directions. I went half an hour out and back and could have gone even further. Pizza at the beach was great. Gym was very well equipped. Never more than 5 people there. Our flight home was cancelled. West Jet moved us to the Barcelo Palace for a night. Beautiful, huge resort. I felt that WJ did us well. Overall the size of the resort was perfect. The grounds were beautiful. We paid less than $1300 each for 10 days, which I felt was a great value.

Sanctuary Cap Cana Luxury Collection Adults Resort: Great resort

Very nice resort with well illuminated paths. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Plenty of beach seating although the beach is a little rocky. Food was very good at the restaurants but was usually cold at the beach unless you had a hamburger cooked while you wait. Would definitely go back.

Impressive Premium Punta Cana: Puntacana impressive premium resort

Went to Punta Cana last week. Stayed at the Impressive Premium resort and had a great time. Hotel and room was always clean. Food was great, lots of variety. Staff was kind and respectful. The beach is not as clean as other locations (ie: Cuba) but it was decent. Daily Entertainment was decent. Watch out for excursions half price sale, the catch is that you have to go listen to a 90 min sale pitch on vacation packages, and there is lots going around. I would definitely recommend this resort and  [... read more]vacation package. Well worth it.

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Not the best vacation

To start, the hotel was over sold so that did not help things. When we arrived, nobody took our luggage and we did not receive a drink or cloth as we have at previous resorts where we stayed. The service lacked. Every time we requested a drink (we had to go the bar everytime as there was no beach or pool service) we felt as if we were a pain requesting drinks. The only thing good about the resort was our swimup room.
