Punta Cana Princess: Amazing Resort

The whole resort looks awesome. The rooms are well looked after. The food is good. Pool is kept clean and crystal clear. The staff are always willing to help. The beach is fabulous, lots of lounges, soccer nets, volleyball net. Lots of activities on the beach.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Fantastic week off

Hotel was good, a little mess in the room with water keeps coming out of the washroom when anyone took shower but overall it was goo. Good was great, the staff was awesome and humble… extremely helpful. We had a great week off!

TRS Cap Cana Hotel: An oasis of calm

This resort was very clean and it was reassuring to see the staff frequently cleaning down handrails and elevators etc. all staff members wore masks. The pools and grounds were nicely kept and the gardens well maintained. There were lots of staff present to see to our every need and the majority of them spoke English. Maria, our butler, treated us like family and was excellent. We were very impressed by her quick response when communicating with her via WhatsApp. Yanelis took great care of our r [... read more]oom and was excellent. Richard, who oversaw our room service orders, was excellent. There were activities scheduled every day and we attended the Chic Dinner Cabaret which we thoroughly enjoyed. Staff at reception were most helpful and professional and were always welcoming and smiling. Our plan was to relax, enjoy the sun in pleasant surroundings and we were able to do that.

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Fantastic Resort

This was our second time back to the beautiful Majestic Mirage. From the entrance to the resort, to the rooms, to the beautiful gardens throughout the resort - absolutely spotless. There is always someone cleaning and we felt very safe. All of the staff wore masks and most of the guests wore them when you were indoors. As you entered the restaurants masks were available and everyone was required to sanitize their hands before entering.

Excellence Punta Cana: Long awaited Adult vacation

Loved the layout of this hotel and the upgrade to Ocean view was definitely worth the price. Particularly liked that there many restaurants to choose from. (as to be expected some were better than others, The Lobster House was surprisingly the one we enjoyed the least.) Oregano and The Grill were our lunch time favourites and Mexican and Spanish were top dinner choices. Rooms were decent, only complaint was that we would have liked sheets changed mid week but overall staff and service we [... read more]re excellent. Property absolutely gorgeous and loved that there were lots of chairs around the pool and beach. Would definitely go back.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Great vacation…..but

We had a wonderful time until the very end when we got a stomach bug and which kind of ruined the last couple days. I cannot specifically blame the hotel, but it is likely we either picked it up from the food/workers/or other guests.

Be Live Experience Hamaca Garden: Worst resort ever

3 hours from airport no tub no balcony no stocked mini bar shower was broken Sunwing doesn’t even go to that hotel tried calling tried emailing had to call brother in Canada get him to call took 3 days finally got moved room smelt like mould still no hot water we were there 2 weeks we’re only allowed 2 alacartes cockroaches in rooms pools were green grey water came out of a pipe and ran right into the ocean from hotel no one spoke English food was awful they told me that I could pay for Covi [... read more]d test in peso’s and to leave country in pesos spent hours both times trying to get money switched over got ripped off both times people made me pay double it was like we were at a hotel not a resort then our plane broke down spent 12.5 hours at airport they bused us to a resort at 1:30 in the morning the bus left with out us had to take a taxi got woke up early for ride to airport checked out then flight changed again then sat in lobby for hours waiting for ride to airport had to spend extra money at airport because of 12.5 hour wait it sounds like they sent us to the wrong place

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Great resort - walkers beware it's a big one

Ocean El Faro has everything you need. We upgraded to Priviledge which unlocked a few more dining options, better alcohol, better wifi etc I would say it was worth it but the cost wasn't that different than the general room so we decided to do it. Food wasn't amazing overall but my family enjoyed it! The beach was okay very rocky and not sandy white but it was still not 3 ft of snow. Pools were great, entertainment was great. Servers constantly walking around if you need anything (the better [... read more] you tip the faster they come by). Room overall was nice, some details they could improve on but it was quite modern!

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Great experience

Staff at this resort try harder than any of the 15 others we have gone to. The grounds and pool are beautiful. Food was excellent. Covid tests are on site , no positive test so far in 2022. We couldn’t be happier. Special thanks to Dancer WILLIS.

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: stay in preferred or don't stay

Disappointed in room - hotel needs an upgrade Beach was dirty and water was brown and very rough Staff were great though and food was good No night life for the adult crowd. More of a family resort Make sure you check where your excursions are before booking, we were on a open air bus for 2 hours one way to get to the buggy trip.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: This is a beautiful resort!

We found the grounds, pools and beach clean and safe. The food was great and the people very friendly. Because of covid the staff all wore masks. The restaurants are very clean and everyone had to ware their mask unless eating or drinking.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Great place

Rooms, food, golf and staff are fantastic and everything on the resort is wonderful except the casino where they are aggressive and speed up the spins and deals to a point where it’s not an enjoyable experience. Very disappointed in this, as we would of liked to of spent an hour each evening before dinner.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: amazing resort except the food

the Palmira buffet at the Luxury Esmeralda served only cold food. The breakfast was OK but the lunch and dinner was repeatative and always cold. One day they ran out of eggs. Ha, eggs? One day the beach bar had no beer, only foreign beer for sale, at a 5 star? The beach buffet had a good lunch. The alla carte dinners were ok, but always cold. I think all food is prepared offsite and delivered to the hotel for the sitting, that would explain the cold food. My wife took some stewed pumpkin [... read more] at the lunch buffet at the beach. There was a worm in it. I would submit a picture if this survey had that option. The tables at the beach buffet were suposedly cleaned and a blue card placed on the table indicating so. The blue card was placed on the table but the tables were not always cleaned. We like the line dancing they have everey night at the Punta Cana hotel. The entertainment staff do a great job to lead novice dancers in the dance. The beach dance is terrific as well. I would recomment the hotel just for the enternainment staff, beach, buildings. The food really needs a makeover and is not 5 star.

Sunscape Puerto Plata: It was exactly what we needed!!

We finally were able to travel and we were really looking forward to it. Sunscape did not dissappoint. Despite rain for most of the first week, we had a great time. Service was excellent, food was good, room was great, beaches excellent. The second week was perfect weather for sitting and walking on the beach. We especially enjoyed spending time with Fransisco, Jaun and Carlos (Sun Club Bar and restaurant) and Magdeline from the Castaway Bar. They were all very friendly and provided excell [... read more]ent service. All staff at the Sunscape were very friendly, and always eager to make our stay memorable. The resort was very clean and Covid rules were strictly enforced. We will definitely return with our family if the opportunity comes up. Fransisco from WestJet was also excellent.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Beautiful resort

The grounds are well kept. Rooms were clean. All restaurants that we went had amazing and always hot food. The staff are very friendly and always take good care of the tourists. As for the Covid , masks were always on for all staff. A lot of tourists will where there masks in and out of restaurants. Hand sanitizer is all through the resort. Felt very safe. Amazing resort and I will return for my fourth time very soon.

Riu Republica: Would go again but...

We would definitely go back, however: Resort/Rooms: In all honesty it should be a 4 or 4.5 resort due to the cleaning staff not picking up cans or plates left around the resort by inconsiderate travelers as well as the quality of materials throughout the rooms and resort. Don't get me wrong, the rooms were nice, not the nicest we've seen, but nice. But paint of every light switch and room number plates just jumped out as a lack of quality on the maintenance side of things which just made  [... read more]it seem cheaper then advertised. We had a partial Ocean view room which was a stretch because we only see the Ocean a far ways and a bit over the resort walkway palm trees. Don't pay the extra money for it. I swear it's not worth it. Our mini fridge wasn't refilled systematically without asking and this even after leaving 5$ tips every single day for cleaning staff. Pillows in our room really sucked and there were no other option available. They were very small and stuffing very cheap feeling. The Cola in your fridge is Cana Cola(local) which taste like RC cola. The 7up equivalent however is really good. The restaurants all have Pepsi products. If you want real Coca Cola, you'll need to purchase from shop. All shops, restaurants and bars had excellent service and staff was friendly and enjoyable. We were friendly to all and tipped well and received excellent and quick service and were recognized constantly by our "usual" servers/bartender. Food: The À la carte food was excellent at the Asian, Steakhouse and Indian restaurant. The Italian place was disappointing and we didn't hear good things about the spanish place so we did not go. The whole time we were there the fancy restaurant Killarium wasn't opened. The buffet food, regardless of time of day, was great. The only 24/7 spot on the resort is the Sports Bar. They have Nachos, Hot Dogs and Burgers always available. Pools/Beach: Party pool was, well, as advertised and we had a blast, it seemed to be the place to be. It was easy to find chairs. The beach is okay, it's clean and maintained. The merchants on the beach made for a few unpleasant experiences where we were literally fast asleep enjoying the sun and getting woken up for pedicures and manicures or pictures with monkeys. The quiet pool is as advertised, situated between both swim up bar pools, it's surprising how quiet it was. Don't bring your own towel, the ones provided are great and nobody while we were there, was being selfish with chair reservation. We were able to find great chairs everyday. Shopping/Shops/Merchants: There's a beautiful strip market at the end of the entrance road of the resort(off-resort) called Punta Blanca, these merchants all have the same if not better merchandise than the resort shop and beach vendors for a third of the price. This is where we bought our souvenirs after having overpaid on the beach. You live and learn. The resort shop has whatever one may need in case you forgotten something or needed something. The sunscreen was between $15 USD and $36 USD depending on brands. They had hats, shirts, dresses, Cola, liquor, cigarettes, souvenirs, beach bags, ect... Tours and packages: DO NOT PREBOOK YOUR PACKAGES. I repeat, do not prebook. We had to get refunded because the options made available by your representative at the resort are so much more detailed and the specifics of the packages are not well explained on the website vs in person. For example, we had pre-booked a Catamaran trip, however after explanation we were told that our Catamaran trip was a party boat excursion with beach visits. At the resort we opted for a different Catamaran trip called the Seaquarium where you go on a half day, snorkeling and underwater excursion where they put domes on your head and you can breathe normally while enjoying schools of fish. This to us was more appealing than the half day party cruise. The horseback ranch prices were reasonable to go ride, however when we arrived back at the ranch, the price they wanted for photos was $160 USD which was nearly double price of the excursion, luckily for us we had our cell and we had taken some great photos. If you do go, put your cell in one of those necklace style dry cases so you don't lose it while riding. The coolest thing we did was to go Swim in a water filled cave during the Adventure Boogies (dune buggies) package. It was amazing. Felt surreal. COVID-19 measures: It cost us $80 USD each to have our COVID-19 PCR test on site. ($105 CAD) The staff wore masks, tables were cleaned quickly and all restaurants required mask when entering and at all times if not seated. The restrictions were not strict and we were happy with it as this wasn't a concern for us. We were really happy to live a normal life, seeing other peoples faces and enjoying the company.

Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort Adults: Beautiful Resort!!

This was one of my best vacation as far as resorts go. The grounds are immaculate! All the workers where friendly, happy and always there when we needed them. The rooms where beautiful and large, the maids always made our room fresh and clean and made sure we had full fridges and coffee supplies, never had to ask for anything. The beach was beautiful and always clean. Just an all round great vacation for my husband and I.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Beautiful, Clean & Wonderful Resort

Grounds were super clean. Staff was engaging and friendly. Food was excellent - even the buffet (which many other resorts can't claim). Rooms were clean and spacious. Entertainment was good - very good.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Very well prepared

Gran Ventana was well prepared to deal with COVID they arranged to have someone come to the hotel to do the PCR testing, you put your name on the list the day before. They did the test in the morning and you got the result at the front desk by 5pm that same day. $79.00US. At the mall the test cost $70.00US but it took 2 days to get the result, we had to walk up there in the morning to get Arlene’s result the day we were flying home, which was very stressful. They Sunwing representative was no [... read more]t up to date with his information and encouraged all of us to go through him for the COVID testing which led to a stressful couple of days. The hotel had a separate section if you tested positive, well away from the other guests, I was told the wifi was great, you placed your order for your meals which they delivered, there was no alcohol and you didn’t have a room key. Overall is was very similar to home in regards to the pandemic. The only negative thing about our stay was the advice we took from our Sunwing rep, who we looked toward to guide us through travelling in these uncertain times.

Impressive Premium Punta Cana: Nice property, friendly staff

Wifi was always either down or constantly dropping out, no business centre, so we had to sit in the lobby to fill out all our paperwork on our phones with sketchy wifi. Food was ok, our lobby cafeteria served the same thing everyday, lots of seafood, breads and desserts. Staff were friendly, rooms where clean and spacious. Towels where hard to come by some days. Beach was beautiful. Communication was terrible, two people in our group missed the bus to the airport because nobody at the front des [... read more]k knew when it was coming
