Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Amazing Resort

This hotel is great for families. I usually stay at the Ambar which is an adults only and is generally my favorite. Due to unavailability I went back to the Esmeralda and was not disappointed at all!. The grounds are beautifully maintained, the rooms are great and plenty of hot water!! The food at the buffet is average but the a la cartes are great!! The staff is amazing and so helpful. Entertainment staff is excellent!! The beach is great; having walked along the beach and seeing other hotels,  [... read more]I realized that Bahia has a wider beach than some others. The water is generally gorgeous but some days have more seaweed than others but this can happen no matter what hotel you’re at. However, the guys along the beach do a great job of cleaning up as much as they can. The Peublo Principe allows you to have the best of both worlds, having this common area for all sections, gives you the oppportunity to continue your evening with a night of either gambling at the casino, watching a game at the sports bar or dance the night away at the disco. I highly recommend the Bahia chain, they make you feel like the quality of your vacation is their priority!

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Best resort for Kids!!

This hotel is the perfect spot for kids. Between the waterpark area, characters walking around, kids club and nightly shows. They do an awesome job getting the kids involved. Food was good, lots of variety. I do suggest booking the a la cart reservations in advance as it was difficult to get once we arrived. The place is very clean. The pool was closed a couple of times during the week we were there for a couple hours at a time due to 'accidents'. But since the pools are separated there is alw [... read more]ays a pool area to use. Although we didnt see alot of mosquitoes, they were around and we all got lots of bites so be sure to wear bug spray.

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Great family resort

Beautiful hotel. Grounds were always keep clean. Rooms are nice but bed was not comfortable. Maid service was excellent. Even had turn down service at night. The guy filling the mini fridge did an awesome job of keeping it filled with what we requested. Pools and water park was very enjoyable for the grandkids. Food was ok. Won’t starve for a week. The only complaint was that the Three grandkids caught the HFM disease. All under 5 yrs. very uncomfortable for last 3 days. Also u have to take [... read more] a shuttle to beach which turned me off. I like to get up and go to beach within walking distance. Shuttles were very quick but still not the same. Would recommend hotel if the kids are older. ALOT of the younger kids ended up with HFM

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Beautiful resort!

This was our 1st time at Be Live, but have been to Punta Cana a few times. I think this resort is excellent value for your money. The grounds are kept up immaculately, the buffet was good. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Our room was slightly dated, but we spend our time at the beach! Lovely spa on site. We would definately return!!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Amazing Resort BUT

I chose this resort because it had relatively very good ratings. The restaurants, buffet, grounds and hotel rooms were fantastic. BUT- after travelling for over 25 years to various destinations, hotels and resorts it was the first time I git bed bug bites. Many of them. I didn’t know what they looked like until I looked them up. I asked to change rooms and got the run around until I was so frustrated that I walked myself to a service person at the lobby of where my room was. She visibly n [... read more]oticed I was not happy. She changed our room to a smaller one and offered no apologies or compensation for the trouble or to make up for the smaller room. I did mention the issue to a csr who was taking feedback at the MEATS restaurant. She said it was impossible because the hotel was renovated a few months back and it was probably sand flies. This was a false answer and poorly responded and handled. On our flight back there several people who complained of bed bug bites. I happened to have a conference call one morning while I was there and witnessed the cleaning lady clean the room. There is basically nothing that is done. They make it look tidy. There is no real cleaning. They need to oay more attention to cleanliness in the rooms.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Disappointed

This was our second visit at this resort. We experienced two problems: 1. A/C was very noisy. We complained but they didn't fix it. 2. The Italian A-la-carte restaurant was horrible. We went there at 7:45, ordered food at 8pm and food came at 10pm. When we asked about it, they all stopped speaking English! Never again!

Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort Adults: Beautiful Resort with guest concerns though.

First I would like to say that the Melia Punta Cana Resort was beautiful! The staff were welcoming, kind and overall my impression was very good. However, there were some areas of concern. On my first morning at breakfast I was served a coffee at the Rumba buffet, that was totally not okay. Black chunks of “whatever” were floating in the coffee. I was able to remove some of the chunks using a fork. At a table close by I noticed a woman dipping a knife in her cup to remove these terrib [... read more]le chunks. Needless, to say I asked for a manage, who apologized, but I was a bit concerned to drink coffee from here on in. Also, I found the food continually under cooked at each meal at the buffet. If the food was improved immensely I would not have as big an issue with wanting to stay at this resort. Please note I have been sick with diarrhea and stomach cramps from my first day at the resort. Diarrhea has continued (day 10 for me now, and have needed to call my doctor for advise as to what to do.) Another area of concern was my room at the resort. On the first morning after I awoke, I noticed the sliding door was ajar. The frame was bent on the outside and the door lock was also bent preventing the door from shutting/locking. The door looked like someone tried to pry the door open from the outside. This should have been noticed by the cleaning staff and repaired prior to my staying in the room. Also, the toilet in the room had to be flushed at least twice if not three times after each use. I was constantly worried about the toilet flooding. (My neighbour woke me at 2:00 a.m. one morning due to her toilet flooding over and she had no telephone service the five days stayed at the hotel.) On arrival, blood was also noticeable on my daughters pillow case which was totally unacceptable. This was the only time I had to notify hotel reception twice to have the problem remedied. Lastly, upon arrival in my room, I needed to request for my room to be cleaned better, since there was food on the floor under the dresser and couch area left from previous guest. Follow-up by hotel staff regarding any complaints or issues was dealt with promptly and courteously. I tried my best to overlook these areas of concern, but wanted to provide an honest opinion about my stay at the resort.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Great resort

The food was amazing , atmospher was great and so was the service . Rooms were very clean and modern ,the beach was great with the Cabanas and lots of chairs to sit in, fitness center was good siZe and clean , modern .

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: One of the best resorts

Just spent 7 days here June 6-13th. This was one of the best adult only resorts we have been to. Rooms were spacious and very clean. Maids came around in early evening to ensure we had everything we needed. The service was great in all restaurants and at the front desk. The food was really very good. Nice white sandy beach with waiter service at your chair!

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Beautiful Vacay Spot!

The resort itself was amazing! Beautiful, clean, and full of lots of friendly people. The only thing that struck me as an inconvenience is that the resort is a bit too big! A lot of walking to get around. All in all I would definitely recommend this resort.

Impressive Premium Punta Cana: An amazing resort

Highly recommend going Premium if you can- wifi, better restaurants, room service, nicer spot on beach and a pool. My boyfriend and I came here June 6th for a week and we would both rate this resort 5 stars. Every single one of the employees are so kind and generous. The food was amazing. The beach was beautiful. I couldn’t say enough about this place honestly, we had an absolutely amazing time and this resort will make for a great first vacation memory. Highly recommend

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Nice resort

Stayed at this resort for 5 nights. Very clean and friendly staff. Buffet restaurant was very clean and was greeted with a warm welcome every time. The sports bar is by far the best thing on this resort.. a GREAT place to catch a game. The only con of this resort is that the pool entertainment doesn't start until about 4pm in the afternoon when most people are napping.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Amazing resort

It was a lovely experience right from the time Monika took care of our tour, she left no stone unturned even during our vacation in Punta Cana.the.staff and managers were ready ready and available at all time way to golVery good

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Good service9

Barceló bavaro place exceed all my expectations.it was beautiful staff are very happy and friendly. The service was good and the rooms were clean. The food is very good, and people were great. Had a good experience.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Perfect vacation

The resort was exceptional. The rooms where clean, calm, comfortable. The food at the main buffet was always amazing. Lots of options for every taste and great themes trough the week. The beach was cleaned every day and the beach bar had an exceptional service. We enjoyed the coffee shop every day. We are not fans of animation, party's and restaurants a la carte, so we did not attend does events and places. But our vacation was perfect. Lots of beach volley ball, kayak and great times. It was  [... read more]our best vacation ever!!!

Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort Spa and Casino: Not Quite Ready Yet

While a very beautiful hotel with some amazing food, this hotel needs work to be considered 5 star quality. The hotel had a mould problem and did not have the boulevard ready which was disappointing since that was a big selling point for us. There were several minor problems like power outages, items missing in the room and lack of signage in the resort made some things difficult. The staff seemed overwhelmed trying to fix all problems so hopefully more staff will be hired soon.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Great value resort

This resort is nice, however not exactly new. The rooms are nice and are clean, but a little dated. The adults only side is very quiet and relaxing. The pools are very nice and the food is pretty good as well. The resort staff are friendly and very accommodating. We asked for a nice room and they delivered with a beautiful view of the ocean at no additional cost. Overall I feel it is a very good value resort. Plenty of restaurant choices. Beautiful beach. Very well kept resort. Friendly and hel [... read more]pful staff. The entertainment was very impressive at the Palace theater. The Michael Jackson show was amazing! Great bang for your buck. We enjoyed staying at the adults only with the option to use the entire resort. There is deffinately more action on the Palace side, however the peace and tranquility on the adults only side is amazing! I would definately recommend this resort.

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Best resort I have stayed at!

The pictures do not do this hotel justice and it’s the people that make this place a home. Our Butler Emilio always went out of his way and this was a great touch. The beach waiters were amazing and the pool waiter was awesome! Yes we did tip but we’ll desereved for their hard work. The food is soooo good and I am a picky eater. This was a quick 4 night escape with friends but we will be back with family.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Great Trip

The grounds of this resort were very well taken care of. There were lots of beautiful trees. There was only one buffet at this resort and unfortunately my husband and I both were disappointed. The food was always the same and to be quite honest, this was our first time in Dominican Republic where we didn’t like the food😔 Luckily we did have three a la carts where we could choose from a few restaurants. The food here was much better. We enjoyed each evening that we went. The rooms were nice [... read more], clean. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable. The staff were very kind and helpful. We did find this resort very big, a lot of walking but thankfully they had a trolly to take you from one end to the other.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Great resort!

Hotel was beautiful. Maid service excellent. The food was also excellent. New themes every night for the buffet and great a la cartes. It is a bigger resort so you will ride the trolly carts most places or walk. Lots of pools to choose from, great music and a great time overall!
