Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Love this resort

Second time in this resort and will go again, the staff is really nice, the rooms are clean, the food is very good and many variety to choose from on the buffet, 2 min away from the night life in Sosua, really love it!

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Everything You Want

That is what the staff at the Majestic do for you and there was no I am busy or that annoying unaccommodating glance. In the 14 days I was their the staff looked to see what they could help you with. Constant cleaning of floors, grounds and bars Another impressive point was the bartenders you name it they made it, go there and try it. At the time I went the resort had no mask requirement but Canadian Airports did require wearing one on as well as on the plane. So when you got to the DR you cou [... read more]ld relax completely. So what made my decision to go to the Majestic, the pool I love long swims to work out and hands down the pool here is one of the better ones. Pool Opens at 8am and meticulously cleaned and the bar opens at 9am with the blender firing up for the day. Cheers!

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Dream Dominicus - La Romana DR

The Dreams Dominicus is a very nice and well maintained property. Our room was really nice. We had room 64-103, which included our own pool. The beach was pretty good but certianly had some rocks under the water and you tend to find them the hard way...by walking into them. I really think Dreams should tell people about them. Otherwise the beach was great but a small beach front.. We upgraded to the preferred club as that is the only area that has palapas, however the cabana beds are at the fro [... read more]nt row so it does block the view of the ocean. The food and restaurant were very good. Service was also very good. The main issue we did not like at all was the upselling they do... 1. They really tried hard to get us to sit in on a 90 minute chat about timeshares. We actually had to get angry with a girl and her supervisor as they were pushing really hard. Finally I had a enough and told them to leave us alone 2. At some of the restaurants your given a "wine list" to purchase wine and they don't really explain there is also house wine available... 3. They constant ask you if you want a massage or romantic dinner. I think they need to stop doing this. So overall, we had a nice vacation.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: 1st Time at this Resort

We very much enjoyed staying at Dreams Onyx Punta Cana. One of the reasons we chose the this resort is the fact of the on site water slides and lazy river. We are aware that seaweed can be a big problem in the ocean and on the beach, the ocean and beach were wonderful during our stay. We prefer the beach and ocean, it was nice to have other water activities to fall back on and we did spend some afternoons at the splash park. One of the other reasons we chose Dreams Onyx is that as adults, [... read more] we can use all the restaurants and facilities at the neighboring resort, Breathless Punta Cana. We discovered we enjoyed Dreams Onyx more than Breathless. We spent most of our time at Dreams Onyx, we would definitely return again in the future.

Grand Palladium Palace Resort Spa and Casino: So much to do!

When I first decided to go on an all-inclusive trip, I was expecting my week to consist of sitting by the pool/beach and reading. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was so much more to do, including games by the pool, exercise and dance classes, live shows, water sports, and a plethora of different places to eat. I was stuffed to the max after every meal, I was laughing, cheering, and crying at every show, I was learning to dance merengue and playing water volleyball. I was also never [... read more] short of someone to talk to as the resort employees were incredibly welcoming and friendly. I feel as though my family and I have made many new friends since our arrival to the resort. Also, if you are thinking of taking the Scuba Diving Course, I highly recommend you ask for Carlos to be your instructor.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: NOT a 5 star resort!!

Totally ridiculous wait to check in in a HOT and festering lobby with no AC. No one offered even a cold/refreshing drink on arrival! After standing in line for long time, I a, 78 year old senior, had to go myself to the lobby bar to get refreshment. Not acceptable for an acclaimed 5 star resort. The mini fridge was not restocked daily as it should be. I had to go out and get my own drinks. The shuttle was not at the stop near my room. Long walk to buffet every day, three times a day! The wors [... read more]t food I have had at any resort I have stayed at, including 4 and 4.5 resorts. There was no variety of food, from day to day. The same basic food was offered day after day. My stay was for two weeks and I got sick and tired of the same food every day. Yeas the variety consisted of a few variations to the basic chicken and meat dished, but basically a repeat of the same dishes for lunch and dinner. Once something finished, it was hard to find it replenished. That goes for the fresh fruits also! I am not a pork/bacon eater. The grill used to prepare meats is one big surface where all meats are grilled together, including pork with the the fish, chicken and beef!! The mixing of pork with the other meats, renders the other meats inedible for me. The service was totally unacceptable! The salt dispensers did not dispense any salt. One night there was no black pepper to be had, according to our server. Many days there was no Splenda!! Asked for Tabasco and was told they didn't have any, when every morning at the entrance, cocktail was "Bloody Mary" and Tabasco was there!! Most days I had to reject the coffee, because it was COLD! I rejected 5 cups, one day, before I was provided with hot coffee. At the bars there were days when there was no Tequila and I was told the resort had none anywhere. Days went by without mango juice anywhere! This is not a 5 star resort by any set of standards, I have been to 4 star resorts better than this. Absolutely and totally disappointed, I will never go to any Bahia resort again!! Went to a couple of entertainments and found them lacking in every respect! The quality of the entertainment was nothing that would induce me to sit in a hot outdoor arena. The overhead fans provided no air and no relief! I stayed for ten minutes and left. Totally ridiculous. Even 4 star resorts arenas are indoors and air conditioned!!! The Fridge in my room did not work properly. I am Diabetic and need to use insulin to control my sugar levels. I need to store my insulin supply in the fridge. The first day I complained about the fridge. No one came to do anything about it. I had to go to the lobby and request they store mt Insulin in the Lobby fridge, until my room fridge was fixed, Long story short, it took me three days to get a working fridge in my room. Totally unacceptable. There is no coffee shop at this resort, even though they advertise it as a 5 star! There is a coffee dispensing machine in the lobby which works sometimes and doesn't at all times. Besides, it is available from 7 am to 6 pm only!! If you want coffee after 6 pm, you are s... out of luck!! There is a sister resort next to Aquamarine balled the Ambar. It has a nice coffee shop, but we were not allowed to go there!! Totally ridiculous and unacceptable for a so called 5 star resort!!!! You have a long way to go in terms of facilities and service to claim this as a 5 star resort!!! Either improve it or take the 5 star rating away and at best, call it 4 star so people don't get misled and ripped off!!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Amazing Resort

Staff, grounds, rooms and food. All are top level. We've been many times and are never disappointed. Lots of seaweed thus year but can't blame the.resort for the tides. We always get swimup pool rooms.

Riu Republica: Avoid at all cost

We all came back sick and saw many ppl getting food poisoning. This resort is definitely not a 5 star. More like a 3 star. Rooms stink so bad and beds are so filthy Never again. Total waste of money .

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Bahia Principe Bacaro

The only negative comment I have is that we had mentioned it was our 10 th time booking with them and also our Anniversary and nothing extra was done for us. In the past we were given an a la carte on the Amber side,also a fruit basket.A bit disappointing.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: BEAUTIFUL RESORT, IMPRESSIVE PEOPLE

In August 2022 I had the pleasure of taking my son on a vacation for his 20th Birthday, we traveled to Puerto Plata, República Dominicana, staying at the Gran Ventana Beach Resort. It was the best vacation we have ever experienced. The Resort was Beautiful & the food was Delicious, we were able to enjoy meals from 2 buffets & 3 restaurants several times throughout the day.

TRS Turquesa: TRS AUG-SEP 2022

TRS is the place to stay if you want clean, beautiful rooms, grounds are very well kept and the food is amazing at the a la carts. Staff really make your stay safe and fun. The beach was a little disappointing all along the resorts but there was some good areas to get in to enjoy the ocean. If you have food allergy's then this is the place to go, lots of assortment

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Good bang for your buck

My husband and i had a lovely time at the resort. We stayed for 7 days. We thought the food was pretty decent. The buffet mostly had the same food everyday but we didn’t find that to be a problem, as the food tasted good. A la carts were surprisingly good. There was lots of chairs at the beach and the pool, we never had a problem at any time of the day. Drinks were good. Lobby bar was our favourite to hang out around. We loved the beach and didn’t see anything wrong with it.  [... read more]Some seaweed that got cleaned up everyday. But.. As people say the locals really overtake the resort Friday to Sunday. But the rest of the week was quieter for sure. The pool was crowded over the weekend because of this. There were locals in the beach trying to get you to come down to their “market” to sell you things. They were very persistent and some days were set up on the resort blocking the pathways to the lobby and buffet so you could not avoid them. Like other people say, the pool was dirty. But they had a worker fishing things out of it every afternoon. We did have 1 cockroach in our room that we killed, but a day or two later there was a letter under our door stating that they were fumigating it, so it’s nice to see they were taking care of it. We had an updated room in building 1. So we had no complaints there. Except our AC wasn’t super cold, and our safe stopped working on our last day. Customer service was amazing. We had all power go out in our room one day and when we told the front desk, it was fixed within an hour or two. They had them phoned us later that evening to follow up and make sure it was working, which was nice to see. We really enjoyed our stay here, and like i said, for the money we payed, it exceeded our expectation.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Amazing Resort!

Amazing resort! Staff was very professional and friendly. This was our first time at this resort and I must say, I was impressed. Rooms were nice and spacious, well-kept and the bed turn-down service at night was a nice touch! Will definitely be returning to this resort in the near future.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Horrible experience

ello, my name is Holly Desrosiers I had booked a package to Dominican Republic just arrived home lastnight. My experience was nonethenless traumatic and horrible. I had sent this email 2 days into my trip but the wifi i had paid 100$ for was not working on top of everything else that could possibly go wrong. Our room had problem after problem and it wasnt until the second last day of our trip that we were finally moved into a new room with ac and working plugs. Our first room had no ac so y [... read more]ou can see in our attached pictures it was melting away, our suitcases were wet from the leaks and humidity in the room along with all the plugs so we couldnt even so much as charge our phones i had purchased 3 different chargers thinking it was my phone when finally i asked a worked to plug my phone into their charger so every morning i went to the cigar shop and dropped off my phone to charge , Our bath tub was clogged so everytime we showered it was dirty water up our legs and then after that was fixed our bathroom ceiling was leaking which left my hAir straightener broken , i wish this was the end. After this was “fixed” my entire bathroom was dirty from the ceiling leak we waited 4.5 hours for someone to come clean it up, i would have cleaned it myself if they wernt charging $20 for a new towel. This hotel should absolutely be a 2 star resort , the food is horrendous and old and cold ! The service is horrible if youre not tipping EVERY single time , and if you are a vegetarian good luck to you, my husband had to eat off the resort multiple times because all that was available for him was rice and beans or fruit .. the spa harassed us every single day, we purchased a $250 USD spa package and they STILL bothered us everyday for more even though we didnt even get what we paid for to begin with. On our second day we were walking to find food because it was scarce to find any, and this worker told us he will bring us he seemed so sweet and welcoming and knew we were upset …. He brang us on a 5 minute golf cart ride to the vip section to be harassed into buying an 11k timeshare , i just explained i was hungry and now i am left 20 mins walking distance from where i needed to be , when they realized we were not interested the customer service was out the window and u were treated horrible compared to the vip guests. This resort is completely segregated, vip is treated amazing and have so many options when the regular guests are treated horrible . This was my first time booking through trip central and i could honestly say it will be my last. I would highly not recommend cofresi palm resort to anyone !

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Would 100% go back!

Very clean resort including food services (buffet, a la carte dining, and bars), rooms, and common areas. Staff was always helpful, spoke good english and knew what they were doing. The app made it so easy to keep track of plans, entertainment schedule, and any other services we needed. Exceeded expectations by far.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Quiet and Relaxing Resort

Resort was very quiet in July, had a very relaxing stay. We did the Isla Bonita and City Tour excursions which were both very fun. Food was good, especially the Chinese restaurant was amazing, but the snack buffet at the beach could have been better.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Nice resort

Everything was fine, except the waiting line for the buffet. Hotel was crowded and waiting in the line for a table when is hot outside was unpleasant. This was the main negative aspect. Room and the beach were good. No seaweed, the shore was clean and the sea clear enough. Nice beach in general! Activities and night entertainment were present like in the old times, before 2020.

Playabachata Hotel: A very average to below average resort.

I will start with the positives. The beach area is well-maintained and is very nice. The grounds of the resort is also very well-kept. The rooms are antiquity and needs to be renovated. I had to change my room because the first room that I got had wooden boards planked up in the window, the bathtub was all stained, and there was a hole in the wall lamp. The hotel was nice enough to upgrade me to a "renovated" room, without any additional charge. The room was ok. The furniture were all out [... read more]dated, there was a huge hole at the wall beside my fridge (and I was afraid of vermin or other things coming in), the safe was old and rusty, the mattress was a bit lumpy and low, and there were holes in the room curtain. But, believe me it was a massive improvement over my first room. The room was very large, and housekeeping did a good job of cleaning. The food was also not that great. The drinks were mostly sweet and too syrupy, and the food tended to be salty, with not a lot of variety. The pool area was a lot smaller than advertised (I only went to the beach). Service at this hotel was sub-par.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Nice resort

Very clean resort, friendly staff, awesome beach, huge pool, lots of variety for meals, rooms were good as well. Only complaint was that the daily & nightly entertainment was very poor. Sanitizer available in all areas, tables spread out in dining areas.
