The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Eurostars in Samana

Great resort, breathtaking views, food was amazing and authentically Dominican. Staff was friendly and helpful. I would go back in a heartbeat. Beach was small but very nice and can always find some shade. Thank you to super Manbo, very entertaining and funny.

Playabachata Hotel: Nice clean resort.

Great staff, always cleaning. The washroom needs a little makeover. Suggest taking out dated ,tired tub with shower only. A la carte not the best, but ok. We had a good week. Lovely large balconies. Like the size of the buildings. Great walking resort. Visited the Gelato place a few times. Yummy. Internet in the rooms would be nice.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Great Resort

Staff were great especially bell boys 10/10. Choice of restaurants, bars, food were plentiful all bookable ahead of arrival but none looked full even when the reservation shows full. Plenty off shade near the beach usually with free loungers but the only downside was murky ocean water due to nearby river outlets.

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Would not go back

The rooms were dated but was clean. They advertised 2 bars but one a folding table by the pool with limited drinks. There was not enough tables in the buffet and when you did get a table you could wait through the meal to even get a glass of water. I will say that all of the staff was great

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: A Dream Come True!

The hotel was beautiful and modern. Very clean. Excellent staff. Amazing quality and variety of food and drinks. A trip I’ll never forget! 10/10 can’t wait to come back! Thank you to Shannon Aishford for helping me and my group through this trip!

AM Resorts Adults Only Wild Card: Nickelodeon Punta Cana

Would recommend the hotel for family with younger kids under teen/pre teens. Food was okay we all did get sick upon return but it happens. Our room was pretty dinged up/outdated waterpark was fun! beach was nice! pools were nice! Housemaid and service great Bar fridge left tip everyday and got really stocked up. Missed a day and not replenished. No biggie. Shuttle left us stranded - our flight was delayed and we waited an hour + to pass through immigration. The air transat representa [... read more]tive spoke to us as if it was our fault. We had to pay out of pocket to get to the hotel. BUT not reflective of the hotel itself. For the price would recommend this more of a 3-4 star not a 4+.

Punta Cana Princess: Resort

Public grounds are beautiful and well maintained , pool area requires more umbrellas, at least double the current amount. We had to go out at 5am every day to claim an umbrella with towels. Beach area was great and had friendly security presence everyday, lots of shade under the tiki huts . Rooms are very very tired with dated furniture hard, lumpy mattress. Shower has dirty grout lines, definitely needs cleaning and maintenance. Resort has excellent restaurants and food and ability to use resta [... read more]urants of the neighbouring sister resorts. The front desk did not advise us about this option, you’re left to discover this on your own. Overall I would give it a 3 out of 5 rating .

Secrets Tides Punta Cana: Amazing Resort

Was a great vacation with friends. Resort was beautiful, rooms were spacious & modern, food was great, and staff treated you amazingly. I would highly recommend coming here. Thanks for booking it Louise!

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Had a great trip

The trip was organized incredibly well, the hotel was beautiful, rooms were clean and buffets had selection. There was minimal issue with a language barrier, however that is to be expected and wasn’t hard to manage a way to figure it out. Overall we had a great trip and we loved it.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Great Hotel - Fantastic Views

Hotel was great. It is worth the extra money for a Deluxe Ocean View Room. The views are extra ordinary. The beach was nice, maybe small for some, but for me great. Being in the bay, the water was calm while we were there. The food was fine.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Disappointing

This resort is old and dated and could really use some updating. I have never encountered resort staff that cared less about their job. We travelled in a group with 4 rooms we asked that our rooms be close together which we know is not guaranteed. The rooms were not close together and we were told that trip central lied to us and that nothing on our booking said we wanted rooms together. When I showed them proof that it was requested they said “well it’s not guaranteed” when I inquired about [... read more] moving rooms around we were told that there was no way they could do that. Which is fine if that was their policy but when speaking to another guest they got a room in a building that wasn’t their preference and tipped the front desk $20 and got the room they wanted. Apparently they are only willing to accommodate guest requests if you pay extra. I Spoke to security after my teen daughters were chased by a naked man in the halls, they were not interested at all. Other guests also had issues with that unruly guest exposing himself to them and security didn’t care. They did however take a small child with physical disabilities using the adult only pool seriously and kicked him out of the pool when it was the only pool that was accessible to him.

Occidental Caribe: 3rd trip is a Charm

This was my second trip to DR and both times I chose Occidental Caribe. Everything was awesome. Our room was beautiful and clean. The food was really good and the fruit was so fresh. Definitely planning another trip back!

Emotions by Hodelpa Juan Dolio: Worth the price

First shout out to Kevin who is very responsive and help me find a good deal, and before trip keep connected by emails, keep doing that! For the Hotel itself, overall is ok, very far away from Punta Cana Airport, they should reschedule the time and airport to saving some time on road. The front desk staff is lack of training, first night receptionist deliver the wrong information and the next day the lady who been introduced to me also give wrong info and changed her attitude immediately once I  [... read more]said I won't upgrade my room, so rude and unprofessional. Other than that is ok, other staff are quite friendly and welcoming, recommend to book tour directly with them, good value.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Great resort, great food, and great staff!

We are a family of four, two kids aged 7 and 5. We had an amazing time during our 7 night 8 day stay. We stayed at the building by the quiet pool which looks beautiful but we never used it with the little ones (we preferred the main pool). The main pool is beautiful and has a swim up bar with amazing staff, shout out to Ernesto (bartender). The staff was amazing with our family from Francisco in the dining area to the best entertainers Carlos and Isaac. The beach is a short walk from the [... read more] main pool and is gorgeous. The main beach has a coral reef further out where the larger waves break leaving the beach calm for swimming, and snorkeling. We took a walk down the beach and built an inukshuk with several others that were already there (beautiful site). Past this point there are larger waves and it is great for swimming and looking for sea shells. The food was amazing at the main buffet. We also went to one a la cart (octopus I think), and it was amazing. We hope to go back again.

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: The Senator Dominican

We just came back from the Senator Hotel in the Dominican Porta Plata. The Hotel was beautiful! Check in was easy and our room was ready at 3:30pm. Rooms are dated but clean and pleasant to sleep in. We purchased three garden view rooms but 2 of 3 were facing the local street littered with garbage and very loud! We went to the desk to complain and they at first gave me a hard time but switched our 2 rooms the next day. As we were packing a maid came in our room and asked me what I was doing. I t [... read more]old her that the hotel found me a different room. The maid then rolled her eyes and was upset with me. As we were leaving she was rude to my mother who had the other room and I told her she needs not to be rude to guests. She then tried to tell me she didn’t understand me. We found that most of the staff made you feel like a bother to them and occasionally you’d get an amazing staff member. Food in the sports bar was absolutely amazing except whoever thinks 3 wings is a serving is crazy! When we ordered 30 wings between the 4 of us they thought we were crazy! The food at the buffet was okay as you could always find something to eat. À la carts were great we book the Japanese and steakhouse. The always seemed to run out of Pepsi in the buffet and would bring sprite. They would run out of Diet Coke in the sports bar and at the pool bar their blender wasn’t working the whole week so you couldn’t get a blended drink. When they served you a daiquiri is was never frozen. They didn’t know how to mix drinks! Pool space was great! Little to no activities for kids and if there was it wasn’t posted so you would find out last minute. Beach is beautiful but some parts rocky. Definitely book the excursions for the paradise island and monkey land! We did both and definitely worth the trip! All in all it was a good trip but I wouldn’t go back to this resort!

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Senator Puerto Plata

Loved size of resort. Able to walk to all areas in a few minutes. Very clean grounds and room and dining room. Good choice in buffet. Lots of shade available at the pool with umbrellas and palm trees.

Dreams Cap Cana Resort and Spa: Beautiful resort

This hotel was very clean. It had excellent food and all the amenities are close by. The people were amazing. Our cleaning lady (Ruddy) kept our room very clean and made sure we had everything we needed. Luis at the front desk was very helpful. The pool bar bartenders and the entertainment group were excellent. There was plenty of entertainment for all ages. The only issue might be the beach area, because the shore is like shale rock and not good to utilize. There is lots of sand until you get  [... read more]to the ocean part. The ala carte restaurants are very good. Overall it was a great vacation and I would recommend the hotel to others.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Fantastic hotel

We absolutely loved the hotel. It was huge, clean and most of the staff was terrific. Beach was beautiful and pool was fun filled with activities. No complaints except not allowing us in the room until 3pm......we arrived at 7am. All in all great getaway for the week.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Very good resort

Great experience. Entertainment was top notch. Caramelo was 100% in everything. Very entertaining, social, engaging, and great energy. He kept the holiday spirit up for everyone. He definitely made the experience a better one.

Grand Palladium Punta Cana: Great resort

Grounds were beautiful, food was ok, Not always hot, room was clean, staff was very friendly. More entertainment at individual resorts would be nice.checking in and out was a breeze. Food buffets could have theme nights to change things up.
