Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Bad Resort

It was the worst vacation I ever visited in my life. More than 3 hours to check in. The staff were not professional at all .Rarely to find someone speaks English. Rooms were dirty and the service was very bad. Wifi was very slow and most of the times it wasn’t working. Restaurants were all fully booked except Mikado, but i wish we didn’t book there.Although we booked before,we waited an hour and at the end we found cockroaches and insects on walls and on our food table ,It was disgusti [... read more]ng 🤮. Overall, I don’t recommend Bahia Principe Grand Hotel ,and if I am able to rate it less than a star,I will do it. It was a waste of money.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Decent

Adequate could be better. Seaweed on beach. Wine was like water. Food was 6.5/10. Steak not thick and juicy at steak restaurant, it was more like thin and dry. For the money that you pay i would expect better food and better entertainment for the children!

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Punta Cana: Amazing Hard Rock Punta Cana

This hotel was absolutely beautiful. Every detail was taken care of. The service was prompt and excellent. My son enjoyed the kids club. The beach and many pools were spectacular. We enjoyed the Asian restaurant Zen, Ciao the Italian restaurant, and Toro the steakhouse most of all. The breakfasts we had were lovely from the market and many lunch/snacks experiences throughout the resort. It is a large resort but the trolley system was helpful. Only con was the beach was red flag all week so it wa [... read more]s hard for young kids to enjoy.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Very disappointing

Very bad experience and not worth a single penny. Cleanness of dishes, spoons, cups is very disgusting. WiFi is garbage Food is not nice. We ate only pizza during our stay Most important, the pools have no filtration and most of the group returned sick with ear infections

Punta Cana Princess: Good adult only resort

The landscaping and beach/pool were well maintained and beautiful. The lounge chairs and shaded huts on the beach were plentiful. The bar and restaurant staff were very friendly and attentive. The buffet was very good with a variety of options. The Steak and Italian restaurants were excellent, the seafood restaurant was closed a couple of days during the week so we didn't get to try it. The room we stayed in had a beautiful view from the balcony. The bed was a king and comfortable but the room l [... read more]acked a dresser and the bathroom had no door (there was a seperate glass door for the shower and toilet areas), which I'm told is European style, but small and no privacy. I think overall the rooms could be updated. The seaweed on the beach this time of year was a bit of an eyesore, though not something that can be controlled by the resort and the resort made an exceptional effort to have staff specifically dedicated to clearing it daily so tourists can access the ocean easily. We had a wonderful stay partly because of the group of people we travelled with but also the staff were the most attentive I've had the pleasure of experiencing and we appreciated their smiling service. The animation staff have lots of activities to get people involved volleyball soccer stretching on the beach games water aerobics and same staff entertained in the evening with interactive shows.

Be Live Experience Hamaca Beach: Be live Hamaca Beach

Great vacation, great personel, great vacation. It is to do again. The beach is beautiful, I had a great vue of the ocean in my room and was able to watch the sunset and sunrise everyday. I was able to visit the surroundings of the hotel but 7 days wasnt enough.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Fantastic Time

We had an amazing vacation at Dreams Punta Cana. The resort is really beautiful, with a winding pool and lush gardens. The rooms are nothing special but were very clean. The entire facility is clean, well cared for and beautiful. The food was delicious and varied. We enjoyed the buffet and the specialty restaurants. The staff is the standout at the resort. They are so friendly and helpful…servers, cooks, bar staff, cleaners, concierge and entertainment staff. Everyone we encountered was ni [... read more]ce. They really helped make our stay special. Shout out to Benjamin Franklin who popped by poolside to say hello everyday. I would definitely recommend the resort!

Excellence Punta Cana: Return to Excellence Punta Cana

This was our third visit to the Excellence Punta Cana but our first time back since Covid. Staff were awesome- would go out of their way to may your dining and beach experience memorable. Food was very good- especially Chez Isabel restaurant and breakfast at the Magna. Love the natural beach without motorized sports- it was breezy most days so surf was high and great effort to keep seaweed at bay. We were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary while there and asked our agent to reserve the fr [... read more]ee anniversary package they offer for us when booking, as well, we mentioned it during check in but we’re very disappointed when the only thing they did was make a heart on our table at dinner- we did not receive anything advertised in their Excellence Club Anniversary Package. Quite the disappointment after spending the money and risking travel during Covid to celebrate such a milestone in our marriage on such a beautiful resort!! We had celebrated our 30th anniversary at the Excellence El Carmen(without the upgrade to Excellence Club) and they had gone out of their way to make it extra special. Covid protocols were great- my husband has some health issues and we were concerned at first about travelling but we felt very safe at the resort and felt comfortable to move about freely without masks. Our luggage was sanitized upon arrival, hand sanitizing everywhere you turn, our room was sanitized and had a seal across the door upon arrival, our room had a convenience kit with face masks and bottle of sanitizer and ‘health stations’ were throughout the resort to replenish if needed. The biggest comfort was knowing the resort had a courtesy suite to isolate in if we did come down with Covid while there and it was free of charge! The buffet had taken some extra measures to reduce guest handling of foods and kept things behind glass where they would serve you and tables were spaced, as well as with Theatre seating for evening entertainment. Happy to report we are home, had a great trip and remain Covid free! Great resort but not true to what they advertise in their anniversary package.

Princess Family Club Bavaro: nice resort

The hotel grounds and amenities were beautiful. We stayed in the family club and the kids loved it. The food was disappointing especially the Italian and the Indian restaurants. The Japanese was the best. We went twice. Buffet was ok. Staff were very nice and accomodating.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Wonderful!

The grounds were amazing. The staff polite, went out of their way for any needs. The entertainment was wonderful and friendly. Always felt inviting and relaxing. The beach is amazing!!! Restaurants varied and well prepared food. Pasta and omelette stations!!! yes please! wonderful. The rooms were always done well daily. Having a towel exchange for the beach towels was so handy.

I went Solo as a woman and did not feel intimidated or ignored at the couples resort. Treat very well. Security was amazing and I will be back!!

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Nice Resort

The resort is beautiful, lots to enjoy. The service was not impressive at all. The dining room was terrible service, you can ask for tea, water or wine and get it the same time you finish eating. I think they could do a better job with organizing the dining room area. I found it very difficult that the workers didn't know the basic English, and that led them to ignore our request. Even though you were in an all inclusive resort I think they were always looking at opportunities to sell to make mo [... read more]ney on the side.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Average

Hello, I like to leave a review on our recent travels to this hotel and our experience with trip central. Firstly when when we speaking with trip central agent about booking travel and stay at this hotel. Even thou the travel agent informed us that no flights would fly directly into Samana going forward and therefore only to Puerto Plata at the time of travel. The agent never mentioned that the bus ride would be a 4+ HR bus ride..THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MENTIONED. The travel agent should have at [... read more] least informed us of this at time of booking. They could have stated that as a courtesy. Nevertheless, the trip was booked. We stayed at this hotel before (pre- pandemic) and the experience was incredible therefore we were so excited to take our first trip after the pandemic to this exact destination and hotel again. We stayed two weeks in superior junior suite. The room was great as like before. However, the overall service was average at best. Far cry from before(pre pandemic). The shows were only tailored to children. No adult shows or entertainment existed. Very disappointing. The service seemed to cater to the locals rather than travellers from outside countries. On weekends the service was even worse. Sometimes had to ask to be served after waiting on servers who were going to serve locals multiple times. It was noticeable… some were quite rude and and didn’t try to even speak a word of English. The beach is great. Overall, average. Never travelling to this hotel again. Not worth the money and never using trip central again.

Be Live Collection Punta Cana Adults Only: Very good resort. People and food very good.

Adults only side was excellent. Service at buffet was very good. Pool is good. Beach was full of sea weed and dark water. Check in was very smooth. No one help with luggage. We had to take our own luggage to the room.

Grand Palladium Punta Cana: Disappointed

This was a 50th anniversary family trip with disappointment from the start with poor conditioned rooms with the air conditioning not working broken Windows our room was to be a poolside deluxe but ended up a second floor backside two Queen bed’s the dress code for La cart was ignored saving pool chairs was acceptable rules were just too loose for a large resort they need more people moving transportation after night show was just chaos if you promote yourself a 5 star then be one..

VIK Hotel Arena Blanca: would not go back (but clean)

This hotel was listed a a 3.5 star but it felt like a 1.5 star it was very small which we expected but it i did not enjoy it here i found my self wanting to go home the beach was great expect for the sea weed which was due to climate change so i understand that has nothing to due with the resort the pools were great as well and the staff was nice the beach chairs and pool chairs were very uncomfortable it felt like they had not been replaced since the resort opened The food was OK it there was t [... read more]hree restaurants but i did have this issue were i kept finding hair in my food my significant other did not have this problem. the bathroom in the room was nice and clean the only Issue I had in the bathroom was that after one - two minutes there was no more hot water or even warm water. The tv in a room did not work the screen was just grey we didn't even bother to complain as we weren't gonna use it the bed was very very bad when u layed down the whole middle sunk it was so hard to sleep on we woke up multiple times a night the pillows we had as well were very very hard it felt like they were made out of cement. the air was very cold so that was nice. are biggest issue beside the chairs and bed was a trip central representative never showed up we were told he would meet us at four the second day after arrival and he would talk pick up time and offer us excursions we messaged him and he sent us the pick up time but he never showed up or explain any excursions options so we had to go online and book our excursions online through a third party which was disappointing as a trip central traveller. over all i would not go back

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Great staff, old building

My experience at this hotel was not as good as anticipated. The hotel grounds were decent, and staff were very kind but our room was extremely old and mucky. There were stains on the sheets, towels, rags, headboard, side tables, and when bringing this issue to the front desk, nothing was done. I presume most rooms look like this and the rooms are simply old and need renovations. Definitely a big surprise for an Iberostar chain hotel. I would also say the hotel is seemed to be more targeted t [... read more]o locals rather than tourists., as they populated 98% of the hotel. Also, 90% of the staff I interacted with barely spoke any English and it was difficult to make simple requests. I would not return nor recommend.

Ocean El Faro: Loved Ocean el Faro

The Ocean el Faro is a beautiful, modern 5 star resort. We absolutely loved everything about it! The restaurants, pools, rooms, grounds, lazy river and the entertainment crew were outstanding!!! We will definitely come back

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Won't be back to the Bahia Principe Punta Cana

No covid changes to any process from what I observed. First room had a lot of mold and with the first rain water came in from the ceiling down the wall. Took a day to get into a new room which at least didn't have mold all over the tub area. The beach was full of seaweed therefore the pool was jammed packed. Resort was full. Buffet food was not the best, lots of overcooked meat in soupy unappealing gravy. Same as the reservation restaurants, totally average to poor. Buffet was packed with [... read more] people which operated just the same as it was before covid which was surprising. Wifi was bad even the premium which I supposedly had. Once you got to Client services the people did do their best to help you but being in line for over an hour each time takes it toll especially when they tell you to come back in a few hours only to be told to come back again. Room card keys are constantly not working. Apparently do not put those near your cell phone or a credit card or it wipes out the coding on it. Several people were always at the front desk about it. Its annoying when its 11pm and you cannot get into you room and you have to walk all the way back. The trolly's were inconsistent and often did not stop for you. If you have trouble walking or getting around this resort is not for you.
