Sunscape Puerto Plata: Satisfied Sun Seekers

Sunscape grounds are beautifully maintained & very close to the beach. Sun was hot, pools were cool and drinks were cold! Service was beyond our expectations. Although the buildings could use some TLC, the cleanliness was outstanding. The entertainment was not out taste, but the Beach Party was fantastic.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Wonderful Resort

They entertainment and excursions were wonderful. Food was amazing. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Lots to do for people of all ages. Only issue we observed was the showers (temperature and pressure) but other than that it was perfect

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Absolutely Amazing

Upon arriving at the resort the first thing you notice is the cleanliness. We booked the junior suite and it was just what we had expected. The moment my wife got off the bus she said we have to come back. The beauty of all the vegetation was incredible. The friendliness of the employees made you feel so welcome and at home.Food was amazing, there were many different choices and they never ran out of anything at the buffet. The beach seater were very clean and very well maintained. We will defin [... read more]itely be back next year. Special thank you to Nicole Deforest for everything and for answering the questions that I had for her, your answers were always polite and very clear to understand

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Barcelo Bavaro Palace

The grounds and facilities were great, the beach (amazing) is the best feature of the property. Most staff were friendly and the grounds were kept in immaculate condition. We enjoyed the evening entertainment, the billiards and Casino and listening to their piano player. It was too bad that the disco was closed. We were disappointed with the food, even taking dukoral before the trip our family of 4 got sick while we were there. We were told while we were there that the room service is highly rec [... read more]ommended over the buffet....wish we knew that when we booked it. The a la carte is definitely recommended but I would not recommend the steak house. The Japanese and French restaurants were our favourites.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: A wonderful vacation

This was our 4th vacation at Majestic Colonial and it was our best. Everything from check in to check out was fantastic. A big shout out to Francisco our butler,(he was the best) to Yris our maid, (she certainly looked after us) to Fedeline in the Club room to Angel and Yohanny at the beach. All the staff was so friendly and always smiling. Great selection of restaurants and snack areas. We had an Ocean view room which was the best. A fantastic view 24/7. The grounds crew and beach staff  [... read more]were always busy maintaining the beautiful landscape. It was a memorable 14 days

Grand Palladium Select Bavaro: Jamaica was better

The grounds were beautiful as were the pools, beach and spa however the rooms were run down and not as clean as I would like. I know I'm kind of fussy but things like soap stained shower doors, stained chrome, grime around light switch plates, sticky door handles, all put me off. Run down examples would be the need for grout replacement around tiles, door security chain falling off wall. Also found the staff kind of unhappy and unorganized, maybe understaffed due to pandemic? Anyway, was fine  [... read more]but Jamaica was better!

Sanctuary Cap Cana Luxury Collection Adults Resort: Beautiful wonderful resort

This property is absolutely breathtaking and the amenities and extras make it first class all the way. The staff went out of their way to make our stay fabulous. Rooms were wonderful, food was delicious.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Good

Great staff, beautiful grounds, food just ok, resort over booked, difficult finding clean dishes, clean tables clean cutlery, four star resort, needs more cleaning staff in eating areas, maintenance needed in rooms old food, products left under furniture and sink, leaking shower so water was in the sleeping area had to dry feet before getting into bed, washrooms not adequately supplied

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Enjoyable Adult Only Resort

Resort was very clean, immaculate grounds. Staff were friendly, with great poolside service. Ala cartes were excellent!(other then seafood restaurant which we did not enjoy ) We had a premium oceanview room,which had beautiful view of ocean. Great room service. Resort is very quiet, activities held at the beach area, which we didn't do, but were offered throughout the day.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Great vacation!

Two weeks spent at this resort. The staff, grounds, and swim-up room were the highlights. Food, drinks, and coffee were okay. A la carte restaurants require lining up (no reservations), so get there before 6pm. It was very busy with guests during our time and at least one wedding a day. Ocean is wavy and challenging with young children, and the sand is very soft. A lot of seaweed some days. Resort is large with many pools for everyone, including the water park area. Chairs with umbrellas by the  [... read more]pool and beach are taken up early even though the resort asks guests not to reserve with their belongings. Staff tried to encourage mask wearing in closed areas, but guests often did not comply and some would take a mask from staff and remove it. Some guests complained about mask wearing in closed areas and challenged staff. Staff worked hard to keep areas clean but it was very busy. The Punta Cana airport was fast paced and security were pushy if moving too slow to keep people moving. Inconsistent with wearing masks at the airport - signs say to wear but seems not enforced as many did not wear.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Very nice resort

Very clean. Friendly staff. Good Food. The only issue was the inability to book an a la carte dinner. Always booked up early in the morning and selection was limited. Otherwise a very nice, clean resort.

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Great Stay

This is not a 5 star resort by any means but is very Clean, well kept and the staff is totally amazing. Select side is nice and small and has everything you could want. Beach is smaller but very nice to swim in. Food is average resort food but many nice restaurants just off resort that are to die for. Sosua is a very safe place to go explore. Best part was no vendors bugging you all the time. The staff makes this resort!

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Great hotel for the money

The hotel was pretty decent. The rooms were a little outdated but we didn’t care because we were just in there to sleep and change. So many amazing pools to choose from. It’s nice that there are a lot of adult only pools to choose from as well. The entertainment staff are super friendly. There were games a few times a day and most could also be played by kids. There were shows every night and they were very entertaining. The people LOVED the baby we had with us! They would offer to hold h [... read more]im and play with him so we could all participate in games. Very kid friendly atmosphere! There’s a casino on site which also has complementary nachos and popcorn (which my daughter would as us to get her because they were so good!) The beach was nice, but so wavy we couldn’t really go out. Obviously not the hotels fault, but still a bummer. Lots of food selections for everyone. There were even a ton of options for us to give to our 7.5 month old who is just starting on solids! I would happily book at this hotel again.

Punta Cana Princess: Awesome resort

Spend a wonderful vacation for the 7 consecutive trip at PCP great staff as always and great food nice beach and plenty of chairs at pool or beach , Will return and recommend this motel to anyone that like a quiet and restful place to power back up

Riu Republica: a very nice resort

We enjoyed five days of a very relaxing time in this resort, having lots of good food, very friendly staff, gorgeous pools and beach and finally wonderful bars. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Long Time Favorite

This was our 14th visit to Esmeralda, giving us privilege to adjoining Fantasia, Ambar and Aquamarine. All sections are immaculately groomed, the beach is clean and the ocean is wonderful, just beautiful. Service at the bars, restaurants and shops is friendly and efficient, but see below. It appears Covid has taken its toll on food preparation. Coffee and tea were often cold and the buffet food was not very warm and we had difficulty getting a spoon or fork! Tequila - Mexican *** Menu had m [... read more]any items unavailable, starters were disappointing, service was good and friendly especially the supervisor was very helpful. Mashua Nikkei - Japanese/Peruvian **** Very nice restaurant, food was tasty although not as described Garden Grill - Steak ** Confusing menu, unable to determine what steak they were actually offering, baked potato was 1/2 baked Rodizio Las Olas - Brazilian **** A very beautiful restaurant overlooking the Ocean. A wide offering of starters buffet style. The meats were nicely done and plentiful. The Greek* A mistake to go there. We 3 were all disappointed with the food, ordered skewered chicken, got a miniature pita instead . We were placed under a cold blowing fan and offered no relief. Portofino - Italian **** Minestrone soup, Seafood Linguini and Shrimp Risotto well prepared and efficiently served. Our favorite Ala carte restaurant of the week. Esmerelda Los Geranios Buffet ** Esmerelda Jasmine Buffet ** Aquamarine Buffet ** Received no table service after 10 minutes. Ambar Buffet ***** Excellent service food and variety Sports Bar ** Don't order snacks unless you like them cold Pool Bars *****

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Great place to celebrate

The BeLive collections Marien in Puerto Plata in my opinion was a great pick for my daughter and myself to relax and celebrate her completion of her university degree this April. The staff were kind and very friendly. The resort is a bit on the smaller side so walking everywhere was quick and easy. It's even wheelchair assessible which is a great feature The Beach's were fairly clean of seaweed. Saw the workers early every am cleaning the seaweed that washed ashore over night away. The securit [... read more]y on the beach kept the vendors from bothering the guests whole they were relaxing . The vendors were only allowed along the waters edge. The location of Puerto Plata is situated on the north eastern aspect of the island so is directly touched by the Atlantic Ocean and because of that the waves are very active and stir up the sand constantly. This made snorkeling from beach almost impossible due to limited visibility. The sand was very fine and soft in most places. There are excursions to go snorkeling but we did not partake on any. I was surprised that even though there was floating seaweed in water near the shore there were very little shell debris or jellyfish floating on our trip. We were in the ocean every day. Water was awesome. There are no umbrellas on the beach but the nearby trees provide ample shade for all. There were always lounge chairs available at the pool and on the beach. At the pool there are umbrella like structures to provide shade but often they were taken fairly early in am on weekend. On week days usually always was able to find shade loungers at the pool. The pool was very clean and well maintained. They even provide small garbage bins around outside perimeter of pool for patrons to dispose of garbage so they aren't littering on the property. Unfortunately some of the bushes would have vomit smell due to guests over indulging and sharing with bushes later at night. This is not the fault of the resort and it should not be penalized for this. The workers were always cleaning and power washing the walkways. On the weekends the local Islanders visit and fill the resort. They were all very respectful and fun to be around. The food was tasty and even though not a great variety we were always satisfied. The a la carte restaurants alternate being open through the week and all 3 were open on the weekend. You need to book the a la carte each am for that night and need to be at the booking desk prior to 9 which was when the worker would arrive. We found this strange as other resorts you would book all at beginning of vacation. We were only able to try one as we often slept in and were too late to book. The food was good. And service great. Our room was in one of the older nonrenovated buildings but suited us fine. The maids kept it tidy daily and all but one day replaced towels. One day they took towels but because we were napping when they came back with new we never had towels for that day until next day. We brought small roll of rope so we could hang out wet clothing on the balcony to dry a bit over night. Most am the clothing and towels were dry. We exchanged our towels daily with no problem. The resort and island no longer require usage of masks everywhere providing all are vacinatef. The workers still all wore masks. But rarely saw a guest wear one. Most people did socially distant from others not in their party and there are reminders and taped markers on floors for people to do so when cueing for bars or buffet. There is hand sanitizer bottles situated all over the resort and signs to remind guests to frequently clean their hands. All in all we did enjoy visiting this resort. There are a couple changes that would make it great. Having a coffee bar for special coffees all throughout the day in lobby or on site . I did read somewhere on another's review that there was but when I asked a worker she said there wasn't. I do plan to return here in the future just not sure when.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Overall good resort

We had a great time. Beautiful poolsand beach. Small amount of seaweed. Very friendly staff. Food was pretty good. Would definitely recommend for the price. Rooms are a little out dated. Be aware there are several resorts on the Property and you only have access to a limited amount of restaurants and pools. Property was clean.

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Fantastic Resort

This place exceeded expectations. So much fun and the entire resort is amazing! The beach and pools were beautiful and every meal was wonderful. There are bars all over the resort where you can get quality beverages throughout the day and night. The staff was also so kind and energetic! I highly recommend this place!
