Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Large resort with great food service.

The resort is a little too big for my liking but it is nice and the ground is beautiful. Our building 35100 is dated and needs to be refreshed. The logistic behind the food service and the food itself were impressive. Congratulation to the kitchen staff. Unfortunately, the weather was not great for us but nobody is to blame for that. I would like to see a bit more entertainment in some areas even if it is just a solo musician or singer. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Punta Cana Princess: Not the 50th Anniversary we'd hoped for

We had booked a Deluxe Honeymoon Suite at the Punta Cana Princess to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The first night we were given a room that was right next to the ventilation fans for the resort's kitchen. The roof on the suite was thatched so odours came through. That night all we could smell was fish and hot oil. Next morning we asked for a room change. When we were asked why we told the concierge who replied "yes, we're aware of that problem." We were given another suite in a  [... read more]different building. The room was quite hot and we realized the air conditioning was not working. By 11 pm it was 26 degrees in the room. They moved us to another room which was very small and dusty. The balcony and chairs were covered in bird poop. Next morning we went back to the concierge and said "we want what we paid for - a Deluxe Honeymoon Suite." After some insistence they moved us to another building to a regular room - not a honeymoon suite - right next to the pool. Needless to say it was not a quiet area. Music from the pool bar, beach bar, seafood restaurant all hours of the day and night. From 3 to 530 pm music blasted from speakers set up on the pool deck by the animation team. Techno and hip hop blasted out at ear shattering levels. The air conditioning in the room spewed out a horrible mould smell. Housekeeping did their best to disguise it with cherry scented disinfectant, but we eventually had to ask maintenance to remove the vent and wash inside. This helped a bit, but still had a mouldy smell. So as you can imaging we will definitely not recommend this resort. We paid for a Deluxe Honeymoon Suite with a loft and jacuzzi and ended up in a regular room (even though the resort insisted it was a honeymoon suite) and only received the bottle of rum and fruit plate that were two of the perks that came with a Deluxe Honeymoon Suite.

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Nice location

We experienced a 2 hour check in (2am before we got a room) - our friends that travelled with us and booked through Tripcentral were told they had received "no reservation" and experienced almost 4 hours before they were placed in a room "for the night" then were moved to another room, later the next day, we all lost the Saturday to enjoy our vacation, our television did not work, after reporting this twice daily, someone finally showed up to look at it, 3 days later only to say he would be b [... read more]ack " in a few minutes with a new one" - never saw them or a new TV at all.

Punta Cana Princess: Great time at PuntaCana Princess!

This hotel was everything we’d hoped for - beautifully kept grounds, AMAZING beach and friendly staff! Don’t listen to all the negative reviews. Sure, the buildings are a little tired and the bathroom fixtures aren’t shiney anymore. But the price reflects that and we feel it was money well spent. We loved the quiet atmosphere, with the option to party it up at the sister resort. We’ll definitely be going back, and highly recommend this resort to all our friends!

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Overbooked-left without a room

Our stay at the Royalton Bávaro was disappointing to say the least. Beware of overbooking and being without a room. We travelled with 3 other families. Upon arrival 3 of the families didn’t have rooms available to check into. After 4 hours of waiting at the front desk, we were finally provided a room but not the swim out room we paid for. Our friends unfortunately were unable To get a room that night and were forced to stay in our room. We asked for blankets to accommodate the 4 additional peop [... read more]le in the room and didn’t get them until 1am. The hospitality at the resort wasn’t there. Would never stay at another Royalton again. Beware of this resort. We are not the only ones who were without proper accommodation upon arrival. From our discussions with other travellers it was an issue for the last two weeks at least.

Tropical Deluxe Princess: Seniors Vacation

Very few staff ,not much entertainment,very sparse selection of food .Very quiet ,clean rooms .This is a resort suited to an older crowd .Very pretty grounds ,but in bed by 10 .Disappointed in food selection and service.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Amazing resort

We had a few hiccups over our room which the Majestic immediately resolved. The service ,food and experience at the Majestic Colonial was among the top Vacations we have ever had. Our butler went beyond all expectations

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Very nice resort.

The entire resort was extremely well kept. The gardens, pools, beach area, restaurants, social areas were spotless. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The "ala cart" restaurants were exceptional, and even the food quality at the main buffet was great.

Riu Republica: Good Facility - Mediocre Service

This resort had a very good variety of services. The room looked a bit dated and needed some real attention when it came to the washroom and air conditioner. I would not say requests for missing towels and blankets were looked after in a timely manner. For the majority of our time there we cleaned our own table at the buffet before using it. Beverages were slow in coming or didn’t come at all. We mostly looked after ourself. The pools were great. The awnings at some locations needed replaci [... read more]ng. Some of the items on the menu at the restaurants were not as advertised. The Japanese restaurant was our favourite.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Beautiful Resort!

This is a very nice resort. Our room was comfortable and very clean. Maid service was excellent. The staff was helpful and friendly. We enjoyed all the different activities and the large pools and of course the beach. Would book this place again

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Amazing Resort!

Absolutely no complaints about Breathless Punta Cana. Far exceeding our expectations. The food is delicious and a wide variety of options. The resort is very clean. The grounds are well kept and beautiful. The beach is quiet and serene if you like peaceful vibes. The pools are more high tempo if that’s your thing. There is something for everyone at Breathless Punta Cana

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Beautiful Location and Resort

Interesting activities on site. The specialty restaurants are difficult to book for a decent hour. We prefer not to eat after 9 pm. We were not impressed by the Italian restaurant, the food was minimal and not very good.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Great vacation destination

Beautiful pool, beach and grounds. Nice spacious, well appointed rooms. Good food and nice choice of restaurants. Super service and cleaning staff. Entertainment was ok. Room service available at all times.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Wonderful Resort

What a beautiful resort!! The grounds were gorgeous as well as the beach. The pools were clean. Upon our arrival we asked to be upgraded and Enmanuel at check in was able to complete the upgrade. Our butler Rafael greeted us in the lounge, explained areas of the resort. Every morning we received details for the day ie restaurant hours and activities, very helpful Shoutout to some amazing employee, (steakhouse) Jonathan & Breilyn Our pool server Santa Sea & #see Lundy and Petro Interna [... read more]tional dining Wandro Lounge Coffee shop Martha & Elisa Perez Morla Also a big shoutout to the young lady at the ice cream station, sorry no name. On February 1st we had lunch in the big buffet and we (4 people) were looking for coffee ice cream. They didn’t have it, she went out of her way and got the tub of coffee ice cream for us. Just a wonderful jester

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Fabulous resort

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the Majestic Elegance Resort. It is a beautiful, clean resort with amazing staff and terrific food. We upgraded to the Elegance Club and felt it was well worth it. We loved the Elegance Club adult only quiet pool and the exclusive ala carte breakfast and lunch restaurant as well as the Elegance Club lounges and coffee shop. I can’t say enough about the staff. They were warm, friendly and very welcoming. A note to folks travelling with Air Canada Vaca [... read more]tions: make sure you attend the welcome presentation in order to get the contact information for your local Air Canada Vacations rep. He will need your Air Canada booking number ( usually starts with 235…) in order to give you the airport shuttle pick up time the day before departure. Having travelled at least twice a year since 2020, this was new to many of us. We had previously just looked at the binder in the lobby for this information. Don’t hesitate to book this resort. It’s fabulous and only a half hour away from the airport.

Dreams Cap Cana Resort and Spa: Amazing Resort

This resort is absolutely beautiful. The grounds are well kept, the restaurants are spotless and the food was great. The beach is not the best, it's rocky and lots of seaweed. Lots of games set up on the grass. We were Preferred Club and it was great. Very safe area in Cap Cana. Security to let you into the area, and security to let you into your resort.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Royalton Bavaro Punta Cana ** Amazing Resort

The grounds and the hotel is beautiful. Very well kept. The people from check in- to the vibeteam to everyone works there are very friendly and very welcoming. I love the DR, its my favorite place to visit. My husband and I got married i the DR 3 years ago at a different resort which we enjoyed as well but out of all the resorts i have visited in the DR, Jamaica and Cuba, this is my favorite resort so far. My hubby and I plan to visit again next years. We loved the food, loved the lazy river and [... read more] just loved everything about this resort. The shows were amazing as well. The only thing I wish is they had more things to do at night for the adults and also the people on the beach trying to sell things, they are very pushy. I know they are trying to make money but we are also there to enjoy a nice vacation.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Royalton Bavaro is an excellent stay

I loved it. Beautiful grounds, beach they had phenomenal shows each night. The food is good especially Zen Japanese. I absolutely love the lazy river as well. Loved the staff they are so helpful and friendly. Rosa our concierge. Franklin and Julio our bartenders. Reggie and Julio the excursion people were awesome. The shows were so good and they had one each night.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Decent trip

Overall we do have a good trip. The staff here were very friendly and welcoming. The beach was stunning although a bit rough. Drinks at this resort were top notch. Made perfectly and massive variety. The food was just ok, typical resort food and nothing special. There are lots of pools but they do need maintenance, my daughter cut her foot at two different pools from broken drain as well as missing tiles causing sharp edges, also one of the pool lights was popped out of the hole and just floatin [... read more]g at the side of the pool with wires exposed. Water park was actually great and our kids had the best time there. That being said 5 out of 8 of our party did become sick with vomiting and diarrhea (which seems to be common at this resort from reading other reviews). Overall we did have a good trip however I would not visit this resort again nor would I personally recommend it. That being said if you have booked here I do think you will have a good time as long as you don’t get sick.

Paradisus Grand Cana: Great Modern Design

The suites are spacious and modern. The beach was amazing and service at the beach was fabulous. Thanks Jose for a wonderful experience. The food and restaurant reservation policy were a disappointment.
