Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Absolutely paradise

We love everything about this resort. Food is great, staff is friendly, rooms are clean, beach is stunning...and I could go on and on. We've been to countless others, but have decided that this is the only one we will return to again and again.

Grand Memories Punta Cana: Beautiful and convenient

The resort was clean and beautiful. We were in Block 24 which felt centrally located even though the resort was huge. The buffet, water park, and beach were accessible by trolley. Great spot for family! And the staff were friendly and easy to talk to as well!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Perfect resort

I have nothing negative to say about this resort ... everything was perfect. The service of the staff was above all expectations. they were so friendly and accommodating. Clean and the food was great

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Large Resort

Room was very clean and tidy. However I would recommend they change their mattresses as ours was hard and misshaped. View from our balcony was not the greatest as we were back to back with another building. Pool and beach area were excellent and close to our room. Entertainment staff were quite pleasant and fun. Grounds were beautifully kept and wonderful to look at. Food and service were very good. Pleasant customer service.

Vista Sol Punta Cana: Understaffed

This was our third trip to Vista Sol. The beach and grounds are gorgeous, but the service has deteriorated. Our bathroom was never cleaned, drinking glasses in our room appeared to be rinsed only (still not clean), and the people working at the buffet were run off their feet. No one served coffee or wine - guests had to get their own, and it was rare to find a cleared table. I would expect this perhaps if the resort had been busy, but it really wasn't.

Blau Natura Park Resort: great resort

This resort is one of the best we have stayed at, grounds,beach and food perfect. No elevator from lobby to main floor, only issue. Our only regret, was we only stayed 1 week not 2 weeks. Note, this is a family resort, FYI

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Third Time is a Charm...

Once again, had a great time...upgraded to Preferred as we were returning guests. Poolview King. Food great..favorites were Mercure and Italian. Never did the buffet at lunch or dinner. One excursion, to Cataline Island...fantastic. Will return. Entertainment has gone down a bit in our opinion....more emphasis on the staff being the headliners..bring back the magic show, and Beach Party. Moving the foam party to the beach is a mistake...was too much fun in the pool....

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Overall great resort.

Nice that it’s only half an hour from the airport. Air transit employees were very helpfull even on the return when the flight was delayed 2 hours. Resort was fantastic and recently renovated. The swim up pool room we had was a nice feature at the end of a long day at the beach. Food was overall very good but disappointing that ther were no gluten free options as I have celiac. Mayan Rivera asked at each restaurant about food allergies, but this place was not as aware it seemed. Beach was ver [... read more]y crowded and difficult to get lounge chairs up close unless you get up at 6 in the morning to reserve with belongings as others do. The resort was very neat and clean and the staff were all very good.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Great for families...bad for tummies

The grounds, pools, splash park, rooms, and kid zone were great! We had lots of fun! The food left something to be desired and by the weeks end both my husband and myself were sick as was our 7 year old....our son did not get sick but he stuck to plain pasta and cereals as he’s a fussy eater. We also did not get notified that our shuttle was moved up 6 hours and people were sent to a different resort due to plane delay. We showed up 2 hours before our shuttle and waited 11 hours for our shu [... read more]ttle before taking a taxi to the airport at 330am so we didn’t miss our flight. Staff did not communicate anything to us even after asking many questions.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Not impressed

The grounds are beautiful. The bed was very hard. Staff were rude and ignorant. Not what I expect from a Bahia Principe The only way I had beer in my room was when I went to complain about it. So in 7 days I had beer twice. Maid would leave 1 pkg of coffee but no sugar or creamer. Or no coffee. I never knew what I would get. We arrived at the resort around 11am. Never had a room til almost 5pm.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Resort was nice

The hotel itself was nice. Too big for my personal preference. A few of the staff were very pleasant, but most were rude and impersonal. The food was average, a la carts were ok, but hard to book. Especially since i speak very little spanish, felt as if i was interupting the person taking the booking. 24 hour restaraunt was non existant. Shopping was a little too high priced, and sales people extremely pushy. Had a theft from our room, front desk treated us as if we were lying. Nothing was e [... read more]ver resolved. Ni beer in our fridge for 3 days, until i complained. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort: Ok resort

The hotels is well maintained if somewhat limited in activities. In order to communicate you had better have learned Spanish or it's a guessing game. Great beach adult pool full of kids avoid pool.food was virtually the same every day but well made Nice trip overall Gail and lee

Ocean El Faro: Great Resort

We were there Apr 7-14/19 , we knew it was a new resort so we expected growing pains. The rooms were a good size and clean. Restocking the fridge was spotty at best. The restaurants were busy and the food was good. We walked the beach as there was a lot of seaweed so we spent most of the time at the pool and the lazy river. The resort was short staff for the amount of people staying at the resort. The service was slow but very friendly. The staff were doing their best. I would blame this [... read more] on management not having enough staff. Management should also look at what I call the vultures trying to sell you travel packages (another name for time share) they are very annoying.. I know it sounds like we did not have a good time but we did as we ignored everything. Would I come back yea but pricing would be a key factor

Riu Palace Macao: Amazing Resort is so true thank you.

This was a fantastic resort for a holiday and would go back many more times.The people took care of all your needs and where very well liked by all. The property was very clean,the pools were clean and warm the food was to die for fantastic variety every meal time,the beach was very clean and the ocean was nice and warm.The nightly entertainment was first class great shows.I would recommend this resort to any family and friends to go there. I would love to thank my fantastic rep Lisa Shelley Ans [... read more]ill from Trip Central Dundas who recommended this resort. Lisa Shelley has taken care of my vacations for more than twenty years and shes the best.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Beautiful 5 Star Hotel

This hotel is fabulous. Beautiful swim up room topped it off for us. Everything is kept so clean and the service is exceptional. Would definitely revisit. The pools and ocean is a paradise. Entertainment most nights was really good. Plenty of options for food at buffet or specialty restaurants.

Blau Natura Park Resort: Beautiful Resort

Very clean , friendly helpful staff. Good food , amazing beach , clean rooms Beautiful grounds and scenery if you couldn’t find something to eat it would not be the fault of the resort and they had a full range of excursions

Riu Republica: Great vacation, but...

Riu Republica is well managed. We had a good room, weather was great, walks on the beach were engaging. Restaurants and buffets, appetizing. My disapproval was in the size of the resort... and with the noisy boisterous pool sides and an overcrowded beach. What these huge resorts gain in size, they loose in privacy, exoticism and respect for nature. Is this the new trend in the Caribbean tourism? To replicate our city life in America. Hope not! I fear the loss of one of the most beautiful an [... read more]d unique natural environments with continuing invasive constructions of mega large scale resorts. Built side by side, with absolutely no natural space in between, there is no territory for nature and its species to grow and strive. By the way I have not seen many beach birds on the beach. I hope, wish, owners and their administrative staff would plan environmentally conscientious sites where architecture would blend with this unique and beautiful part of our world. Create smaller sites where we could live in harmony with nature.

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Very clean resort

The resort was beautiful. The employees were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were large which could my two son's family with their wife and two sons. One of the best beaches I've seen in the Caribbean. My grandsons loved the pool, water slides and the entertainment in the evening. The only thing we did not like was the food at the buffet restaurant . The food was not as good as a another resort we stayed at in Punta Cana, three other times.. The food at the el-carte restaurants were [... read more] good. If I had to rate this resort 8 out of 10. This review is also for Andrew's family and Ian's family.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Absolutely Amazing!!!

This was our first time going to an all inclusive resort and The Majestic Colonial in Punta Cana was beautiful! All the staff were very friendly and accommodating! The rooms are very clean and well maintained...beautiful. the service was amazing! The food...all kinds of different cuisines and it was yummy!! The grounds around the resort and the beach beautiful!! Lots of stuff to do everyday and night or an amazing pool that runs alongside the resort with swim up bars for when you want nothing to [... read more] do! Plenty of deck chairs and shade shelter. Just simply Amazing!! We will definitely be going back to this resort next year...and many more to come. *****

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Just not for us ....

Our experience at this hotel was not a good one. From the moment we checked in until the day we left we had several issues. We are not difficult people to please. We are simple and want to enjoy a nice holiday. As soon as we checked in we were immediately harassed by individuals trying to sell us shares. This continued on for days until we threatened to file a complaint against them. Our room was below average. It wasn't clean and it was located directly above the outdoor entertainment ar [... read more]ea so it was very loud on the evenings we had early nights. The maids completed the most basic cleaning they could. Make the bed, refresh the towels and wipe the floor. Our shower and sinks were not cleaned the entire time we were there. The doors and the walls in the room were filthy. One of our cupboard doors fell off the hinge the day we arrived and was only fixed the day before we left (day 9), despite many requests. The grounds were clean and the resort looked very pretty at night with all of the lights. There are 2 pools. The main 'party' pool and then a quieter pool closer to the beach. We did not set foot in the 'party' pool. We saw some interesting things go on and decided to stick to the other pool. I'm glad we did. The party pool was like a frat party. Clothing optional, etc. The second pool was nice and we spent most of our time there or at the beach. They allow smoking at this resort ….anywhere you want to smoke, you can light up. In the pool, beside the pool, at the beach. Despite all of the smoking the grounds were kept clean. Except the beach - there were a lot of cigarettes and cigars in the beach sand. You could find areas that were cleaner than others and this is what we did. The water and the beach itself was really beautiful. The food was ok - the main buffet was pretty plain. The restaurants however did have very good food. We passed on the buffet and went to a restaurant every night. They were all delicious. The weather was our saving grace for 10 days. It was exceptionally beautiful with blue skies and lots of sunshine.
