Royalton Splash Punta Cana: A dream fulfilled!

My daughter, her husband and three sons, aged 3, 7 & 8, my son and his wife and I went on a family vacation to Grand Memories Splash in Punta Cana. From our first steps into the airport to our return home - everything was better than expected. Our flight was great, a first time flying experience for the three boys and connections well timed to and from the hotel. We upped our time at the hotel to the Diamond Club and were very happy with our experience. It was well worth the little extra. Our e [... read more]xpectations were exceeded! Check in was smooth and easy, our rooms well appointed and clean. The staff was more than accommodating. The wee ones and their Mom and Dad don’t do dairy and our concierge, Edwin, and the chefs were wonderful in offering them a great variety of non dairy options including making pancakes and fresh French toast every morning. We all enjoyed the entertainment for the children as well as the later, grown up shows. We never waited too long for the little trolleys. There are a number of peacocks and peahens strutting about as well as cranes, herons, ducks, wild parrots and more strutting about. We stayed in building 29 which was central to almost everything. The water park was just across the road and restaurants close by. The pools were lovely and inviting especially those for the Diamond Club members. Our 7 & 8 year olds as well as the older ‘boys’ thoroughly enjoyed the large, exciting water slides. We never had to wait for a table at the buffet restaurant as DC members. Every morning,Edwin, came by our table to ensure everything was up to parr and to tweak and fine tune anything we might need as well as make our restaurant reservations. He was amazing and truly appreciated. We dined primarily at the buffet restaurant which had a delicious choice of specialties every day. We also had a fun and tasty meal at the Mexican Cantina and the seafood restaurant. Lunch was tasty at the Royalton buffet and the beach there- Devine! Our rooms faced the back, treed area which was peaceful and calming. I wanted this to be a trip to remember and it exceeded all of our expectations. I would highly recommend this hotel to any family looking for a clean, safe, welcoming and exciting adventure.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Had a great time at the Be Live Collection Punta Cana

Beautiful grounds on the resort well kept by the grounds crew. MANY amazing pools to enjoy throughout the resort (including kid pools for families with little ones). So many A La Cart restaurants to pick from (Mexican, Steak House, Lobster House, Brazilian, Mediterranean, Japanese, Teppanyaki) plus the buffet and Burger Shack so you can never get hungry. Staff were very friendly. Many bars to stay hydrated. Nightly entertainment was great.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Friendly resort

Good service and fantastic entertainment Joseph and chocolate kept us entertained and were very talented and hard working! Beach was not nice at all and hotel needs updating Wilken who stocked our room daily was fantastic Also very hard worker Maids did not go out of their wsy to do anything special in our room

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: SUCH A FUN TIME!!! BEAUTIFUL GROUNDS

Me and my mom just got back from a one week stay at the Grand Memories splash in Punta Cana, at first I did not know what to expect since google and it’s images do not meet ends with their photos, but let me tell you, my expectations were exceeded! The place is beautiful, appropriate for kids/family, and filled with wildlife (peacocks,ducks,birds you can feed) aside from the beautiful resort itself, rooms were nice aswell, the staff was very kind, we booked an excursion to saona island with Jo [... read more]se Almanzar (who was so sweet let me say ☺️) and had a fun time, only downside is the bumpiness of the ride, do Not go if you have a weak stomach please, other than that food was good, service in buffet could be a bit faster, Mexican and Italian restaurant were fast and good though, the under the sea however was a bit slow and hurt my stomach the next day, other than that for a trip to the DR and for its price it was amazing, the beach is next door at the Roy Alton which you have access to and trains come constantly, entertainment was fun but on some nights could’ve been more lively, water park made up for it though as it had a lot of fun slides, thank you for having us and thanks to our rep at trip central (Jen) for booking it for us ❤️ Until next time DR!

Zel Punta Cana - All Suites: Outstanding in All Aspects

I’m a season traveller-especially throughout the Caribbean—and I can say without hesitation that the Reserve at Real Palm delivers. From a prompt check in to daily activities geared toward all ages. The food, both the five star a la cartes and the buffets are of decent variety and outstanding quality. Their patch of Bavaro beach is pristine and equipped with a seaweed vacuum that ensures a picture perfect day at the beach. And the tiki huts and cabanas add a wonderful touch—especially for  [... read more]those that like to spend the entire day at the beach. The nightly entertainment was varied and of high quality. Musicians and dancers made for a fun evening most nights and the sound system was awesome. In closing I just can’t fathom finding a better place to take your significant other or extended family for a relaxing truly five-star experience.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Fun Resort

This resort is great. Always something to do and very lively. I was worried when I read reviews online. This resort did not let me down. The food was good. They had a diner that served all american foods like burgers fries nachos chicken wings and pizza. The food tasted just like the stuff you get here. The buffet always has something for everyone. And the ala carts are to die for. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They do not water down the drinks here at all. The only thing I did [... read more]n't like was the beach has alot of seaweed and not that clean looking water. The rooms are big but they could use a little updating in decor. Our mini bar was always full of soda and beer I seen reviews where they said you would forced or bugged to be VIP. I was never asked one time to upgrade and I wasn't treated any different than anyone who was a VIP. Most of the time VIPs were over on the normal side anyway. I would definitely go back again I loved it

Caribe Deluxe Princess: Paradise

Excellent hotel , La ubicacion , el staff, los jardines una vista muy bonito, rodeada de animale,las play as Linda's, buen entretenimiento Durant el dia clases de zumba Y baile y de noche buenos shows

Ocean Blue and Sand: OCEAN BLUE AND SANDS RESORT, BAVARO, PUNTA CANA, DR

Hello, We were a group of six women who visited Ocean Blue and Sands for one week (some were there 10 days) April 15 to April 25 and a couple from April 18 to April 25. This was my 3rd time in Punta Cana, and this is the first time I have been disappointed with the beach at the Ocean Blue and Sands. There was seaweed galore that you had a hard time to walk, and the sandbags in the water looked like backs of huge whales. Very disappointing especially for the Bavaro Beach. Ocean Blue and Sa [... read more]nd should definitely do something about their portion of the beach because when you go down south for beautiful weather, and beautiful weather it was indeed, you enjoy to relax on a beautiful beach as I recall the Bavaro was and still is, but for some reason this part of the Bavaro Beach I was deeply shocked and sad because we could not enjoy the beach, it was overall dirty looking. We had to spend our time at the pools. As far as the resort and staff working there, it was very good. The grounds were well maintained, the staff very friendly, but this does not surprise me for Punta Cana. The people are always so nice in the Dominican Republic, will do anything for you. A big shout out to Wilkin, he took so good care of us for our week at Ocean Blue and Sand. What a wonderful young man. As well, the entertainment staff, was excellent. We enjoyed our day entertainment as well as the evening. Joseph and Chocolate are amazing entertainers and they made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. The food was just for me, o.k. Most times at the buffet it was not warm, and the only restaurant I preferred above them all was the Steak House. It was amazing food, however, not very good service. We left before they came to offer us dessert, IF they were going to offer us dessert, we were not sure. We had to ask for wine, because they only came once to pour us a half glass. Not sure perhaps if that evening they could have been extra busy, not sure - but not good service. Would I go back again to this resort? Probably not, only because the beach is not up to my liking, and if I am going to pay big money to go to a resort, I want to be able to enjoy the beach. Having said this about the food, some of my party enjoyed the food, so this could be just a matter of preference. I am not a fussy person, but I did not enjoy most of the meals. The best was the HOT SUN. Wish I was still there for the weather, because in the Northern part of New Brunswick Canada, we are freezing today, and the wind here is COLD.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: I felt like I was in paridise

There isn't anything bad to say , the people , entertainers, the resort , the food was excellent, I would diffently go back , I have never seen such a clean resort...........It was a little piece of heaven.

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Relaxing and fun all at once

We enjoyed our stay , met great people and it was a perfect size. 👍🏻 I just didn’t like the culinary experience I got sick off the food and had a sore stomach and nausea and diarrhea the next day. Everyone said the experience with the culinary experience was awesome. But for 150.00 American never again. The place only got 4 a la carte restaurants that you never need reservations but you would think they would need more restaurants but the menu is so different that you can go to the sa [... read more]me place every night and never eat the same stuff ex. Italian don’t just have pasta, sushi is not only sushi........loved all restaurant. Service was great and beach was always clean. Buffet always had different themes every night and fish and sea food was always available. We had to check out early cause our flight was only at 10pm but they had a hospitality room available for us at the end of the day to wash off before the shuttle 👍🏻 Just wasn’t crazy about the time share always being asked. The spa walking around daily to ask if you want a massage and nexus asking if you want to book excursions. They have stations for all that and if you are interested you will go But once you said no they would not ask again till the next day 🥵but most off all what we hated the most was 2.days out of the week getting bugged and harassed from locals that are aloud on the resort Friday all day from like 8 am till 10 pm and giving you stuff and saying you owe them and you said no that is all day on fridays non stop And again on the evening of the micheal Jackson in the lobby night show. Very annoying. If you wanted to go shopping they got a free bus twice a day all week long going to the mall. And on the Friday evening my husband even got asked if he wanted to buy drugs and offered him a huge variety just not right right In my opinion. The vendors/time share/excursions/spa sales are a real buzz kill to the resort

Excellence Punta Cana: Excellent Resort!

Great food, clean, spacious, no need to save chairs in the morning as there was always enough and good evening entertainment. The silent dance party was the best! Recommend the upgrade to the excellence club.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: good enough

hotel was very clean, maintained all the time. customer service was good, Lenni at the front desk was kind enough to make my stay comfortable. really appreciated his help. the only part that was disappointing was snack bar.. it was all the way by the beach.. far walk from Principe, if the bugges dont run later on. over all i had a blast, the food was good and the staff!!

Excellence Punta Cana: Relaxing and super clean resort!

I just returned from a 4 night stay and really enjoyed my time at this resort. The facilities and grounds were incredibly clean, we had no problem finding beach or pool chairs and the staff were wonderfully friendly! My only complaint is that while the bed was super comfy, the pillows were terrible! Food was great, spa was nice, drinks were cold. I’d go back for sure.

Excellence El Carmen: Best resort ever. AMAZING

The hotel and rooms were so spacious and the staff were truly amazing people. Always asking and very helpful with anything we needed. The food and the 12 restaurants were so good, and we cant forget the sports bar wow the food was out of this world for a sports bar. The night entertainment and pool side shows were all amazing as well. We truly recommend this hotel and we will be going back. Thx again for your help. This is why we use tripcentral to book our holiday so I know I will never have [... read more] to worry about anything ever from the time I leave til the time we get back. Thank you o'Neil Graeme.

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Beautiful Resort

The resort was awesome!, views were beautiful and the service was great. We had a great time and the weather was amazing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was good and the entertainment was enlightening.

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Best family trip ever!

From the hotel to the beach, the employees and the food. Everything about this place is top! We were terrified of traveling with a 4 year old and a 1 year old but it went smoothly and the staff was very understanding. I highly recommend this place!

Excellence El Carmen: Would recommend

Great resort to consider! General guests are mature - not the place for party, which is ideal for a true relaxing vacation. No issues with food, some hit and misses (i.e. room service). Beach was wide and clean, great for long walks on the beach. Water was turquoise with Atlantic waves - great for swimming. Some seaweed but not an issue for us. Service was great, staff always making sure we are taken care of. Rooms are simply fantastic - would recommend to excellence club for superior rooms clo [... read more]ser to the beach. We stayed in an ocean front two story room with pool on our terrace..WOW! Standard rooms are great as well, most rooms have a view of the beach. No issues finding lounge chairs by the beach or pools. In fact, every building has their own swim pool in addition to the common main pool by the beach. Even though resort was at %95 capacity, it did not feel like it! No issues with finding towels. Drinks were solid. Grounds were well kept and groomed. Roaming flamingos closer to the back of the resort. Would highly recommend this resort!

Grand Memories Punta Cana: Great value

This resort was nice the restaurant and water park were nice and close first resort in a long time that you didn’t have to walk miles in the heat. The rooms were nice and clean. Only one downfall which could happen at any of these resorts was we found a bot fly in our food one night (gross) the staff were very apologetic the staff were great and very friendly!! Estefania and Poppy were amazing bar tenders at the bubbles pool!

Grand Memories Punta Cana: Amazing resort

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Great family vacation.

This is our 4th time at this resort and we thoroughly enjoyed it. As the beach is very busy, we spent most of our time at the pool which works well for families, and it was never over crowded. This is a huge resort and unless you are an avid walker, you must utilize the trollies if you want to go to the buffet or the beach. The trollies are run frequently so we were able to catch a lift any time we needed it. The Garden Grill Steak House and the Italian restaurant Carpaccio's are very good.  [... read more]The buffet was also very good especially the Gala night where we enjoyed crab, shrimp, beef wellington, stuffed chicken breasts and glazed pork loin. The breakfasts are also very good at the buffet. We split our lunches between the beach restaurant and the buffet and both were great.
