Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Excellent Resort

We have been to Punta Cana several times. This resort exceeded our expectaton. I would highly recommend it! The staff were very friendly and the standard of service was just amazing. We will definitely return next year.

Occidental Punta Cana: Beautiful resort - terrible food - spotty service - very annoying vendors.

Lovely grounds, beach is great, pools were great. Service was very spotty, but the food was absolutely terrible. We had heard that the food at all-inclusives was generally poor so we were prepared with low expectations but this was unbelievable. Also the main bar is in a massive lobby and is not a friendly environment - very bright, noisy, poor service. They run out of napkins and coffee cups in the buffet every morning. They run out of beach towels everyday.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Amazing vacation!!!

Everything about the hotel was perfect! This was our second stay, first time as royal golden and would definately book royal golden again! Our room was the first building at the beach and pool, everything was close to our room. The food was delicious and the beach was beautiful. We had a very nice and sunny week, can't wait to go back next year.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Quite the disappointment...

My buddies and I had a late flight in, and arrived at the hotel at 7:30pm Dominican time. Despite rooms typically being ready by 3pm, our room wasn't ready for us. The maid was sloshing a bunch of dirty water across the floor in a panic, our A/C unit was leaking and dripping through the ceiling, the lock-box/safe was a tiny metal box screwed to the wall with 1 screw... (as if this is somehow acceptable and safe for me and my guests to leave thousands of dollars, our cellular devices, our jewelry [... read more] and our passports in?!?!?) What a joke! Then we realize that the lock-box/safe doesn't even have a lock or combination pad... and that we had to rent a lock and key from the front desk for $21 USD. Once we had rented the lock and key, we then realized that the safe itself was damaged and that the door wouldn't allow the lock to fit into it regardless. We proceeded to sit in our rooms for 3 hours, while waiting for a hotel staff to come and solder the box, to allow the key to fit. If that wasn't enough; our toilet flooded after the first flush. I have traveled to 23 different resorts, and it's safe to say that this resort was one of the worst resorts I have ever visited. My friends and I were transferred to 3 separate room locations within 2 days, before agreeing to pay for an upgrade to the privilege side of the resort. All three rooms had broken A/C units, and we spent the entirety of our stay in a 26-28deg C room. I will could not be more displeased.

Grand Sirenis Tropical Suites: Great Vacation Experience!

Just got back from 7 days and overall had a great experience. We booked a junior suite which was clean, and spacious. Fridge is stocked with a bottle of rum, pop and water only, if you are looking for beer you won’t find any.The grounds are well kept, and very beautiful, clearly they are trying to keep as many trees on the property as possible. You can see this since some of the walkways were built around the trees. The property is well laid out and easy to navigate after just 1 day you can ea [... read more]sily find what you are looking for. The Pool was meters away from the sandy beach making it very easy to visit both every day. Public washrooms were kept very clean, and always were well stocked. All the staff were extremely friendly, there are a few that made our stay that much more enjoyable. If you are looking for a banana mama made with fresh bananas look for Dariel at the swim up bar! Wilson at the beach bar always happy and cheerful, remembering your favourite drink. The lobby bar had a great atmosphere at breakfast you could always get a mimosa or cappuccino served by a friendly face- Jimmy and Luis.At night the lobby bar got a little more lively and not only a great place to meet people from all around, but the bartenders kept everyone entertained with lots of laughs. Victor, Julio, Pacolo, and Lisander

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Another excellent stay at the level

This was our second stay in the last two years at the Meliá Punta Cana, again another awesome time. After reading all the negative reviews from the last year , let me say please don’t believe some of the negative reviews people write the Meliá has made some positive changes ALL for the best! Beautiful grounds, pools are very clean and the workers are great. The beach is beautiful also I would like to say a special thanks to a great friend Eddy Sombo he is a concierge that works at the resort [... read more] he is great! Now the food great variety of different foods steaks, fish , pasta and many different restaurants to choose from. I would highly recommend this resort for family and adults

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Love it here

Our weather was perfect, the resort grounds meticulous, the food was excellent, the pools and beach were exactly what we wanted and we cannot wait to go back! We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this paradise

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Nice Resort

The grounds were beautifully kept, rooms were fine except some maids put more effort into their job than others!! Food was "excellent"! Beach was fabulous & kept very clean!!! However, sand flies were a problem for some, just remember your bug spray. Since my boyfriend does not drink, I like wine, found it extremely difficult to arrange to have a bottle of wine put in the hotel fridge, even house wine nothing expensive. We do not drink the beer so feel I should have requesting wine instead....., [... read more] maybe next time. We had a balcony as well. Overall, we liked this resort & would go again. First land stay that we both said we would go back.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Good resort

Let me start off with everything good about this resort. - The grounds were kept immaculate. Staff were constantly cleaning and maintaining the resort. Not a plastic cup in site. Pool was clean. Staff worked tirelessly each morning to clean the seaweed off the beach. - The staff were some of the most friendly people I have ever encountered. Special shoutout to Jesus at the pool bar and our maid Doisie. I felt so welcomed by each and every one of them. - The disco was a blast. - There was  [... read more]never a dull moment. Lots of activities and games and every moment of the day! - You won’t go hungry. Always good available for any diet type (hamburgers, salads, fruit, fries... whatever... available 24/7!) - Good mix of ages. Would be good for any age group. Now for the negatives. - I am by no means a food guru... but the food was far from what I was hoping for. Pretty crappy if ya ask me. - The rooms were awful. We went with 3 other couples and each of us had to change rooms about 3 times due to broken doors, mould, damaged locks and overall disgusting rooms. - There weren’t many bars or places to drink... pool bar... beach bar... that’s about it.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Excellent resort

Hotel was nice. Food was ammazing. Drinks were good sometimes took a while to get one.beach and pools were amazing.staff was very nice and helpful.wifi only in lobby.loys to for children. All in all great resort but it is quite big

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Prestine resort

The grounds of the Aquamarine resort were in prestine condition from the landscaping, tiles, pool , restaurants and rooms. We had an exceptional stay with so many things to do. We will definitely be looking in to staying again next year. The weather cooperated nicely. The animation crew was fantastic, lively and friendly. All staff were courteous and helpful. Thank you for making our stay a memorable one.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Beautiful resort!

The Bahia complex made up of 7 properties has a complete resort experience. It is like a small town connecting the various areas with walk ways and “avenues”. We stayed at the Esmeralda. Although the Ámbar is a newer upscale complex we preferred the Esmeralda. The grounds were impeccable and the majority of the services were good. The 2 buffets had food for almost everyone. Gluten free options were not available but there was plenty of other options to choose from. The 3nd buffet was quiet [... read more]er and eventually closed for the slower season. The rooms were spacious comfortable and clean (no problems with water or air). We prefer firmer bass but I could understand if some would find the beds a little hard! Lol). And yes you may have to ask for some items at times but they were prompt in bringing them. We did have a mini fridge that didn’t work but we were seldom in our room. Satélite reception was not good. Once again...not often in our room. The Esmeralda had 3 pool areas which we really appreciated. The quieter pool was our go to area. Maria and Alex were a pleasure! The main pool area was situated with access to the beach, the large outdoor restaurant overlooking the beach for lunches, the Asian and Italian restaurants for a la carte, the main buffet, and the many relaxing lounges Inside and out. The beach was extensive connecting ther resorts. There was extensive seaweed but crews did their best to clear the beach into “piles” but it didn’t hinder walking or swimming. The water was very choppy during our stay but you could go a little further out for calmer water. We had a few later evening showers and one morning one. In general the layout of the Esmeralda was very convenient. If I had a negative statement to make it would be about the lack of communication in some areas. To get around the complex (other than the Esmeralda) you had to take golf carts (like taxis). You were either ignored or told that you had to go to a certain area or take another “cart”. Very seldom did you know where these other areas were or they didn’t know? The front desk would also give you miss information. I think their main job was check-in and check-out. They weren’t interested in anything else. Even to change smaller $ for tips they told us to go to Punta Cana although they had a sign on the desk shoeing exchange area!). (The first resort in the complex). This area was also confusing. Each of the 7 resorts had a name. The first and main one is called Punta Cana. (Found this out after 3 days!). The Air Canada rep was informative about most aspects of our stay. The only problem again was the carts to a la cartes. We did have the great pleasure to meet “Jean Carlo”. His English was wonderful...but his personality was fantastic!! He did his best to make our stay a great one. Our main objective for our week stay was to have a relaxing stay with comfortable rooms, good food, and great weather. We had all 3. We had a great day trip to Santa Domingo with a special tour guide...”Nacho”! We will go back but only to Esmeralda...and maybe Amber? The room, proximity to beach...and the grounds made our week!

Ocean El Faro: Beautiful Resort

Overall the resort was excellent. All the staff that we encountered spoke very good English.Check In was smooth with no problems. Lobby was simply amazing. We stayed in the 2000 block 3rd floor with a pool view. Room was very spacious, clean and modern with a King Bed. Food was very good, no reservations is nice, pick and choose where to go. Never had to wait to get into the Restaurants. They don't try and rush you out the door when you are done. Pools are very nice with no shortage of chairs a [... read more]nd umbrellas. Lazy River was fun, we brought our own floaties but never used them as they had lots. The beach is work in progress as it is a new resort. Lots of huts to lie under. It was windy with lots of waves. Kids water park was very nice. Grounds were immaculate. Only thing we didn't like is the aggressiveness of the H10 Time share agents. Way to pushy.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: #1 in our books!

This was our 4th trip to Majestic Colonial Punta Cana since 2011. We did try another resort once but decided the Majestic was the best choice for us. Lots of palapas at the beach for shade, great drinks (premium liquors), great food with lots of variety, and beautiful rooms that are well stocked and impeccably maintained. The best is the staff- always friendly and always willing to provide the best service possible. Can't wait to go back.

Excellence Punta Cana: Our Best Resort Yet

We loved our stay for 10 days at Excellence Punta Cana!!! At first sight, the lobby, pool and main buffet area were beautiful, topped only by the warmth & great service of the entire STAFF. The foods at all the many restaurants including the main buffet was great, our favourite being Chez Isobelle. The landscape & our Garden view room was exquisite and had great sleeps on our comfortable bed.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Amazing resort

We’ve never had better service at a resort. The grounds and beach are stunning. There is a huge selection of food, so always something to eat. Great app for reservations and menus. Can’t wait to go back!

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Great resort.

The resort was great. It was very clean and well looked after. The food was varied and excellent. The only problem we had was the lounge bar did not open until 10. They had so called coffee machines for varied coffees but we were looking for irish coffee in the mornings which we were used to in cuba. We would definitely recommend this resort. It was definitely a 4.5.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Great Resort and Beach

This resort was great. Most impressed by the spacious beach and plentiful chairs. The pool area was crowded, and all lounge chairs occupied. Buffet provided choice of foods, only one a la carte which we did not try.

Sensatori Resort Punta Cana: Amazing Resort

From the minute we entered the lobby until we left this resort everything was perfect. The food was delicious with a huge variety of A la Carte. The staff is always there to help and always smiling. I can’t wait to go back next year. The adults only section pool was superb and our swim up room was perfect.

Caribe Deluxe Princess: Not 4 star

Let me start by saying we are seasoned travellers 40 yrs going to the carribean, and pretty easy going. We do not expect perfection lets face it this is the carribean. Unless you pay for 5 star we dont expect it. That being said The beach and grounds are beautiful but had to rise by 6am to get a beach chair. This hotel is not a 4 star as advertised very misleading.  rooms are not only tired the bedding faded and worn, roof leaks , air leaks and mold.  Robes hanging in our closet were t [... read more]hread bare Food was mediocre at best buffet terrible. Staff even says it should be shut down and renovated.  Most staff were pleasant front lobby staff was wonderful. The lady that took care of our room was also good. Room was always clean , but had issues with a few rude in other areas ....Sunwing shuttle bus offered to take us to an off resort store for small fee we thought this would be okay  as they were sunwing  employees  had ID and we were 2 women.  Guide and drive made inappropriate comments saying after we had left resort   oh 1 for me 1 for driver.  We were scared to say the least and glad to get back to the resort safe.  Our friend became quite ill after being in their room a few days, roof leaked above bed , air did not,  phone cord cut. finally got them moved  we are sure air was full of mold as after a few days she felt a bit better.  Our room had toilet problems  and leaking air,  puddles on the floor.  Took 4 hrs and yelling in the phone to get toilet fixed.  We paid over 4100$ for this holiday  what a waste  worst vacation ever hotel wise.   Stop sending people here
