Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Great Resort

Everything very clean, food was great, service was excellent. Lots of choices for restaurants and bars. Staff very friendly. Shows were great. Only one complaint is that I wish there was a cafe on the resort.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Relaxing as always

This was my 3rd time staying there. I enjoy the size of resort (small). Staff are always very nice and accommodating. My only complaints would be that the night shows are terrible and this time around buffet restaurant was closed for dinner Monday to Thursday leaving 1 less option for dinner.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Bahia Principe Luxury Esmeralda

Well let me say from our last stay in Oct.2018. The resort has deafeningly dropped in service,activities and especially in the food. No food theme nights as in the past. Same arrangement of food lunch and dinner. We had our room fridge out the hole week. No one came to look at it. The beach staff was hardly seen. We got our own drinks. Also in our past stay at the Bahia Principe Luxury Esmeralda we where able to have dinner in the other Bahia Principe resorts. (Not this time. we w [... read more]here told.) Well short in staff this was our 5th time at the Grand Bahia Principe. Punta Cana and Mexico. .

Riu Republica: Amazing 18+ resort for ages 18-40

This hotel was great for me and my girlfriend It was definitely more of a party resort with around 75% of the guests under age 40. Something was always going on and nightlife was great. Would return!!

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Great Getaway

The Dreams Onyx is a great hotel. It is very clean and all the staff were great. The rooms were very comfortable. The restaurants were very good but the buffet could have more and better choices.

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Very mislead

The lobby was the best aprt. On arrival the hotel lost our luggage, our room leaked, hounded by staff for google reviews and trip advisor reviews that were forced. Potential, but disappointed in this place.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Excellent time

Hotel was great and had awesome staff amenities and features. We were given a very pleasurable experience, with very friendly onsite staff, and lots of different things like activities and events to participate.

Emotions by Hodelpa Puerto Plata: Family friendly resort

The hotel was well maintained, clean and grounds were beautiful. Everything is close in proximity so that was very nice as well. It’s a smaller resort but has everything you need! We had a great family vacation! The Lolita Mexican A La Carte is a MUST! Justino was an amazing at all the a la carte dinners we had (we had 5!) and all the bartenders at the tiki tiki bar were awesome. There was a lack of entertainment by the pool but we were there in off season and there weren’t many guests at th [... read more]e hotel.

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Well Managed Quality Resort

My wife and I truly enjoyed our week at the Senator. We have travelled many times each year over the last 40 years and given the "price point" we were not expecting much. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of all areas of this Resort. Many of the common areas (Lobby, Restaurants, Sports Bar, Pools and Theater) were recently rebuilt, so were all new. It is a well thought out design, so it is easy to find everything. The rooms have been refurbished although some of them do need some u [... read more]pdating with regards to the bathrooms. Lots of Air Conditioning problems according to other guests. We changed rooms once, hence this comment and also talked to other guests while there. The resort was constantly being cleaned and all of the staff are friendly and helpful. The food was excellent in quality and variety, so there was always something suitable to eat at every meal. With regards to Covid, you would think that it no longer exists. Apart from the excellent cleaning, no one was wearing a mask, anywhere. There were a few hand-sanitizing stations, but most times they were empty. Staff would interact with you very closely with no safe space. The shuttle buses were back to pre-covid times with no precautions. Admittedly, the tables in the restaurants were spaced far apart so this was good. Now for the negatives! The evening shows are very amateurish. The music and show schedules were never followed and there was no explanation given. Also, given the large percentage of English-speaking guests, it would be appreciated if a little English is spoken during announcements. The Drinks are all of very low quality, so a familiar drink is not enjoyable because the alcohol is watered-down. The wines are the worst that I have tasted! The Sunwing representative was absent for the entire week, so guests could not get important information like departure pick-up times. The same problem existed at the Playa bachata because I went there 4 times looking for someone. Other Reps from Air Canada, Air Transat, etc. were readily available, but not Sunwing! There was no information posted like the other tour operators. Improvements needed: better quality Alcohol, an entertaining evening show and some live music daily at cocktail hour, also some music in English as opposed to only Spanish because a large percentage of guests are English speaking. I have heard very similar comments from many other guests while I was on the resort. No resort is perfect but if improvement were made to the liquor quality, appropriate evening shows and music, this would be an excellent resort.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Nice place

The hotel was great, the maids did an excellent job. It was a bit of a trial to get fresh water in the room. The restaurants were excellent the buffet not so much. The pools were very nice. Too many restaurants were closed when we were on vacation. Having locals come into the resort on special days was not something I expected for a resort like this, that is the reason I would not recommend this resort to friends.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Bahia Esmiralda

Activities were great. But wasn’t good at all Room was clean but one time we had a none cleaned towel But it would be better for a 5 stars ranked hotel to have better cleaned rooms and better food We found cockroach in the restaurant and told the manager

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Top drawer!

If not for the oppressive heat and humidity, this vacation spot would rank as the best of our 5 visits to Punta Cana- all different resorts, mind you. One minor hurdle was the watery welcome mat from the A/C leak, which was repaired within the hour. Really, you don't have to travel to encounter this, so no need to complain. From there, it was smooth sailing. The room was huge and well equipped, and the fridge restocked daily. The king bed and pillows were very comfortable. The sea was calm- even [... read more] fish swimming around my feet- and the beach was absolutely beautiful the 1st 4 days, then low tide started coming in, so brought seaweed with it. No biggie... that's nature. But the heat... the humidity... If we'd travelled in November, this would've been heaven! Not pool people, so really can't say anything about it. Daily buffet at Acuario was awesome- delicious food, with great variety. Dinner reservations at Tequila, Portofino & MEAT were well worth the trip! Limbo & Rodizio were just a notch below... again, just the heat & humidity dampening the mood. Entertainment options were fun & within reach, as the lobby & pool were just across from our room in Bldg. # 80. Grounds were well looked after. Considering the stresses from the pandemic, & hurricane worries, the hotel & cleaning staff did a commendable job. Special thanks to Yanibel- I so hope I have it right- a concierge who helped me get my eTicket for our departure. I couldn't navigate the all-Spanish instructions. Will definitely think about coming back- between November & March months! Thanks all, for your efforts in trying to make our stay memorable. Cudos! And...salud!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Vacationed Oct 1 -8 2022

The hotel is amazing, rooms were spacious and clean the beach was absolutely beautiful. The food.....well breakfast and lunch were great, the dinners were not good. For this reason I would not return. They were mostly edible, but not enjoyable. New cooks not really knowing how to cook, portion size - one meal had less than a teaspoon of chicken. Most dinners so over cooked you could barely cut salmon with a knife, you can only imagine how the steak was. Japaneze meal, the rice was like ea [... read more]ting small stones - so over done it was not edible. Been to the Dominican so many times and never ever had meals like this.

Occidental Punta Cana: Beaucoup d’inconvénients !

Nous avons séjourné 7 jours à cet hôtel. Il y a eu beaucoup de problèmes signalés par les membres du groupe (50 personnes) avec qui nous étions. Bris d’air climatisé, manque d’eau dans plusieurs chambres et ce, pendant plusieurs jours. Toujours la même nourriture servie au buffet et la fin de semaine remplie de dominicains qui envahissent les lieux en se croyant tout permis. la nourriture aux restaurants est bonne sans plus, le vin blanc exécrable. Le personnel des chambres est so [... read more]ucieux de répondre à nos besoins mais la gestion de cet hôtel est déficiente à plusieurs égard car ils ne sont pas pro-actifs pour régler les problèmes. Le seul point positif: une belle plage pour marcher mais sans palapas, seulement des palmiers qui offrent peu d’ombre.

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Select at Casa Marina

We stayed in a swim-out room on the Select side of the resort. The staff were great and very attentive. -The food was good and the A la cart restaurants were great. -The room was very spacious and well kept. On occasion there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke that came through the AC duct but it wouldn't last too long. -Pools were great, beach was closed for the first few days but opened for the last four.

Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort Adults: A great adults only wellness resort

The resort is well maintained on a daily basis. The grounds are well manicured and kept very clean. The rooms are cleaned and serviced daily. The beachside Level suite we had was in close proximity to the beach and good restaurants. The food was well presented in the buffet restaurants with good variety of fruits. The bookings for the specialty restaurants was extremely well handled by our personal concierge. There were plenary of beach loungers, cabanas and Bali beds.

Sunscape Puerto Plata: Horrible resort

Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort Adults: Great time at Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort!

My daughter and l just got back from Melia resort (Sept. 30 - Oct. 7/22)....all l can say is this resort is absolutely beautiful! Staff is very polite, no issues checking in or out. The main areas are kept very clean. The staff is constantly spraying down table surfaces and removing used plates and glasses in the dining area very quickly. We didn't have any concerns about cleanliness. Antibacterial sprays are located throughout the resort. This resort promotes wellness by having [... read more] many area's around the resort where one can sit privately and meditate or lay in a hammock or sit in a cocoon swing chair. We didn't go to the spa but we spoke to a couple of people who did and they really enjoyed it. Food was plenty. I'm pescatarian and my daughter is a meat lover. We had no issues at all. Many vegetarian and vegan options and definitely a haven for meat lovers. We had a deluxe room by the main lobby. Our room was spotless. No issue with water temperature at all. Plenty of towels everyday. Bar fridge was stocked daily with water, soda and beer. They have a "train" that comes frequently that takes you to the pool/beach area or back to the main lobby where the evening entertainment is held and the restaurants are closely located. We walked both ways a few times and it really didn't take long. Overall we had a great vacation and would definitely recommend this resort! Hoping to go back soon! P.S. Thank you Eliana Anton of Tripcentral.ca for recommending this resort!!

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Disappointment !

Standard fare all-inclusive. Watered down drinks. Mid-shelf Jose Cuervo re-filled with THE cheapest tequila. Straight up lousy replacement tequila. I found a single bottle of 100% agave tequila on site (Heradura) at the *Diamond Club* beach bar hidden on the bottom shelf, lower right corner. Service seemed worse at the Diamond Club than at the *regular* side. You could sit for hours and not be approached by the wait staff. Forget the warm beer on tap or the watered-down vodka.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Beautiful Resort

Yes, this resort is 5 stars, very clean, well organized, well maintained. Room is beautiful, well designed and quite comfortable and stand alone jacuzzi Restaurants are clean and lots of selection and different cuisines
