Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Exemplary Resort and Personnel

The Majestic Mirage was a fantastic hotel when you are talking about staff and grounds. They are well maintained and the staff especially our butler Carlos, were extremely pleasant and helpful with all our questions and concerns. I would recommend the location to everyone looking for a relaxing vacation. I would also like to thank our tripcentral advisor for the trip...Wendy Van Zandwyk for all her help.

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Would visit again!

Great service in general. Food was great! The beach was a disappointment as it was always full of weeds and therefore people were opting the pools to the beach. Pools were well maintained. Had to call room service multiple times for various issues. The response was quick. Resort could organize more excursions at better rates. Too many outside agencies selling packages @ exorbitant rates. Did not like the manner in which the resort tried selling us their multi year multi location vacati [... read more]on packages. Wasted half a day of our vacation on this.

Riu Republica: Fun resort with lots to do!

Hotel was very well maintained, very clean. The food is amazing, service is great, all the employees are happy, willing to help and make your stay more enjoyable. The beach was very clean, no seaweed/ rocks. Would recommend the pool/ jungle party! Overall great resort and vacation!

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Great Resort, bad environment

The resort was beautiful with great spacious rooms. The food was great everywhere we went. The one thing is that the resort staff differentiate between guest that have diamond status and others. For me, a resort that want to be classified as luxury should be providing all their guest with top service not making some of the guest feel like a second class citizen. i went with my wife to celebrate a great milestone in our marriage. the first couple of days the resort was quite and we enjoyed  [... read more]it tremendously. then the resort got busy with loud, drunken people. one of afternoons a guy decided that he will take his shorts off and show himself off, and his wife joined him and took her top off. they danced for a good 10 min before they stopped. the staff was lined up looking at them and calling around but no one stopped it. I was very offended, this is not the type of place i would like to be at. the following days there was a problem every day at the people with someone who is drunk screaming at everyone. I have been traveling every single year to the Caribbean for the past 10 years and have never seen guest with this behavior and worse, have not seen a hotel staff accepting such behavior.

Excellence Punta Cana: Ultimate Adults Only Vacation Spot

My husband and I chose this resort for our honeymoon. Upon arrival, we were greeted with champagne and a cold towel. Very refreshing! Our room was even upgraded upon arrival. The room was very spacious, and the resort was very well maintained. Each day there were activities that you could participate in and nightly entertainment. There was also no shortage of food selections- French, Spanish, Asian, Mexican, American Grill, and Mediterranean. All of the dishes were very well presented. A big sho [... read more]ut out goes to all of the staff working at the resort. The staff were always ready to cater to your needs. They were very personable and greeted you by name each day. The staff members also did a great job of engaging the hotel guests throughout the day. They were very enthusiastic! We highly recommend this adult only luxury resort. We will certainly return to this resort in years to come!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Amazing Trip

Resort was amazing good food, good entertainment amazing pool and beach. Village market and stores were convenient for shopping. I would love to go back. Recommendation is more English speaking staff.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Beautiful resort

I stay at Luxury Bahia Prinicipe Esmerdale resort in Punta Cana.. Food is good ,clean and amazing taste with nice service by its employee at the resort restaurant. Room are clean and well kept. I will give A plus.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Very Nice Resort. But Not Without Some Flaws

My husband and I stayed at the Ambar on August 5th-15 in a swim - up room. Here is an overview of a bit of everything : Room: We loved the swim up room. It was clean and comfortable and well the interior design was beautiful Con: The bathroom had only one sink with limited counter space. There was also nowhere to hang anything in the bathroom so trying to hang up make up cases or wet bathing suits had to be put over the shower walls. The pool for the swim up was cleaned constantly a [... read more]nd spacious. We enjoyed it every day. Ice Machine: This we found odd. There was no ice machine for guests to use. In order to get ice we had to call room service. They did bring it but in such hot climates guests tend to use a lot of ice and waiting each time was a bit silly. Con: The room service menu is very limited especially for anyone who's vegetarian. Con: There were only about 3 English speaking tv channels and they played marathons of the same shows most of the time. This may seem like not a big deal but it's something to consider if you're stuck indoors due to illness or if the weather is inclement and you're indoors. Butler Service : Our butlers were Jean and Greydin. There were excellent. If you can request them we highly recommend it. There were knowledgeable, thoughtful and wonderful. They added a quality to our vacation that was fantastic. The Grounds: The landscaping and grounds were immaculate. Restaurants : We went to Portfino's Italian restaurant and loved it. The service and food were excellent. We went twice while we were there. The Buffet : It had many options and themed nights which was nice. A big issue for myself was the labelling of the food. I do not eat meat except fish and many food items were not labelled to explain what was in it. For example there would be a dish that appeared as it could be fish or another meat without saying what meat was in it. When I inquired the staff didn't understand which was frustrating. We even found out how to ask if there was meat in Spanish and they were still confused or told us there was no meat when there was. Other foods were labelled as if they were vegetarian but weren't. Example "Chickpea vegetable soup" Which after I took a bowl of, I discovered that there was ham in it. I'm glad I noticed before eating it. This happened frequently. It is a simple fix that on the label it could simply say words like " Beef" or "Pork" because people could get ill. We also found that many of the food items were extremely salty. Also a bit of frustration occurred if we wanted to take our food and eat outside of the restaurant on the patio portion. Some staff said yes and others said no. At one point I wasn't very mobile and had to stay in my room and my husband was not permitted to bring me some food from the Buffet to our room. And yet if I were to order room service there was nothing I could eat. The Coffee Shop : It was clean and had a lot of options for coffee and dessert lovers. We enjoyed sitting outside and having a coffee or tea every day. And the desserts were beautiful and delicious. The Lobby : The Lobby was clean and immaculate. In the Lobby there is a desk where there are people trying to sign you up for their rewards program is. We received an invite in our room to learn about it and ignored it. It is a waste of time and money and we've seen it in other resorts. One staff member at that desk was pushy to the point he basically told us " This is how I make a living. I just need you to go to the meeting and I'll get paid." We did not go on our vacation to help him earn his paycheck. And no one wants to go on their vacation only to have on day two people trying to sign you up for something you've already declined. If you see this desk or they approach you, we suggest you politely decline and keep moving. The Lobby Store: If you like munchies like sweet or salty snacks we suggest you stock up at Duty Free. The Lobby store has items for purchase and they are very expensive. E.g one very small snack size package of M&Ms was $3.00 USD The Beach: Beautiful and well maintained. There were many chairs and tables available. Entertainment : There was a variety of entertainment . It was really enjoyable. The bands were fantastic. The dance shows were also beautifully choreographed. A few guests on the resort had mentioned to us a confusion about alcohol. Apparently there were alcoholic beverages that you actually had to pay for. We never ran into that problem but they told us upon trying to order a Corona at the Sports bar the server told them it would be $5.00 USD yet it's supposed to be an all inclusive and on the website it states that all alcohol including premium is included. The Sports Bar also boasts pool tables and yet you have to buy tokens to play which is ridiculous. Overall it was a pleasant trip. I think if the above mentioned issues were resolved it would be more likely that we would return.

I had an amazing time at Fantasia. My daughter and family love the resort.Beach was beautiful especially sanoa island...most beautiful island.

Nickelodeon Hotel Punta Cana: Amazing Food and Resort

Travel dates July 24-31 2019- 2 Adults and 3 children aged 2, 8, 10. Beach was nice did have seaweed but kids don't care, they loved playing in the sand. We really enjoyed ourselves at this resort. Lots of food to choose from and delicious and my picky boys were able to find something to eat. We were able to book in at Spacewalk, food was very good here, kids had a blast. Next we went to BRGRSPH- this was ok, I don't like my burgers undercooked it was still pink inside and that's not for me. [... read more]..even when I asked for it well done,very cool décor. We also visited Verdello- great pasta next we tried Wok Wok it was ok not great. Fresco best taco's ever, Mac and Cheese was good. Aqua Bite in the waterpark was good really enjoyed my flatbread, hubby loved the wings. Waterpark was great for the kids, loved it. They did get bored of the slides but loved the pool and went around in the lazy river. It is a 10 min walk from hotel to waterpark but there is a shuttle that runs every 15 mins. Staff at the waterpark are great with the kids. We did miss out on the "ORANGE CARPET" it looked fun, lots of food - buffet style, would totally recommend going to it. Go early to get a sit for this event. Hotel was nice and clean found the staff to be friendly.We fit fine in the "standard" room it was large enough with large balcony. One down fall was the time share they were trying to sell us. If we told the first person we weren't interested what makes you think the 5th person you bring to us that we will change our minds?? Doppio the coffee bar, only spot I didn't like, went one morning and no one was there, so left empty handed. Items on the resort are pricy especially the Sponge Bob gear/items. Do recommend kids have swim shirts, its hot and saved us from dealing with sunburned kids. Did enjoy our stay with the kids looking forward to the new one opening in Mexico.

Impressive Punta Cana: it was good, other than the beach!

the beach was not crystal blue water you might be thinking of. there were lots of seaweed and the water was murky. pools were nice and cold. foods were decent in the buffet. however, japanese restaurant was a complete disappointment. the room was nice.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Excellent Resort!

My sister, three teenaged kids and I spent a week at the Bahia Principe Esmeralda this August. The resort, including the other Bahia Prinicipecresirts attaches, was really nice. The beach is beautiful, and you can walk forever. There are plenty of palapas for shade. Unfortunately, there was a bit of algae in the sea, especially on our first day, but it didn’t stop any of us from enjoying the beautiful, warm, turquoise water. We didn’t use the pool much, but it was large, clean an [... read more]d lively. There is also a quieter pool for those who don’t want to be part of the activities. The rooms are large and well-equipped, though they could be a little cleaner. A screen door would be useful so that we could allow fresh air into the room. Food was plentiful and there was always something we could each enjoy at every meal. The adults in the group loved going to the coffee shop at the neighbouring Ámbar, which is a beautiful, newly renovated adults-only resort. Service was always excellent.

Ocean El Faro: Great trip overall

Great clean facility with a lot to do on the resort. shout out to Jose at Mikes coffee, Carlos and Ana entertainment team members, Franklin at the pool bar, and Richard at margaritas restaurant. Blue moon, buffet and margarita the best. Tips: Go early for dinner so you can get faster service. We will come again

Grand Palladium Punta Cana: Exceeds expectations

Though rated at four and a half stars on some websites, I fail to find what this resort could do to improve anything to reach five stars. As in most reviews, the Dominican staff is friendly, outgoing, and extremely professional and attentive. Due to the conglomeration of four hotels into one complex, there’s a huge choice of pools, restaurants, and activities for every member of the family, and the combined resort has the longest stretch of beach in Punta Cana. We tried different a la Carte re [... read more]staurants every night and we’re never dissatisfied, in particular, the Indian restaurant and the Mexican were excellent. I’d highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for a great family vacation in the sun.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: wonderful holiday

eWERYFING WAS AWESOME AND AMAZING Hotel very good, people very nice Lidia and Ireneusz

Riu Republica: Beautiful large clean resort

The riu republica was a beautiful large resort. Rooms were nice and clean as well. Our AC brook near the end on our floor but was not to hot as the fan still worked and I think some cold air still came out. The food was amazing, had everything I could think of with lots of flavour. Many restaurants that are all walk in, no reservations. The beach was AMAZING! Never had trouble finding laydown chair or shade. The beach water was clean and not rocky at all. No special snorkeling ability on Th [... read more]e beach but easy trip to plan. On the beach there was kayaks and those wind sail boats to use free of Charge. Never used the pools but was very pretty. Great resort if you like to party. The hotel takes you off the resort to pool parties that were the best parties according to my 3 male friends. The staff were super friendly and always in a good mood. At night there was a disco that was always full. The shows were a 7 out of 10 when I compare to what I’ve seen ( I never expect much from the shows) One thing a really liked about the bar is that they Had a drink menu so it was easy to try many new things at a busy bar. Great resort! I would totally go back 😄

Blau Natura Park Resort: Good resort, but book the select rooms.

When we were first given our room it was old and unimpressive. We up graded to a select room, which was better, but still old (phone didn't work properly, bathroom door came of the track). However they did come to fix these things when asked. Resort grounds were beautiful. Beach and pool were nice and had lots of seating and bar. Food in buffets was great, booked 2 specialty restaurants and they were mediocre. Good resort if you get a good deal, but would spend the money and go to the Barc [... read more]elo or Riu's if you want great.
