Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Very big Resort

Wonderful grounds, containing wildlife (Peacocks, Flamingos, Woodpeckers, as an example), ponds, and Palm trees. The Room was adequate, we were supposed to get an Emerald suite upgrade, but I do not think we got that as our room seemed pretty basic. Food was good at the restaurants, not fantastic. The morning breakfast buffet was not the best as the supposed to be hot stuff was Luke-warm at best, to cold. The resort was very big which caused you to use the available ground transportation, w [... read more]hich was not available early in the morning. The front desk staff, did not really know their resort. As an example we ask for the business center, and were told they did not have one. It is down at the morning buffet area and open. We also asked were the Adult only buffet was and again told they did not have one. It is the new Level area, and it is wonderful, but only open for dinner. The beach area is littered with vendors selling everything from tours, jewelry, to drugs, and they hound you. We stayed away from the beach because of this, stayed at the pool. Overall the resort was adequate, but I would not return.

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: 5 Star All The Way

Great family resort! They definitely cater to kids...so many activities, entertainment, kidsclub, teen club! Pool area & waterpark are wonderful & never had to worry about getting chairs by the pool....they had lots of covered areas or umbrellas if you wanted shade! Huge assortment of food at buffets or a choice at the a la cartes. Recommend booking reservations ASAP if you want to dine at the a la cartes. There was tons of staff which were all very friendly! The grounds & the resort itself wer [... read more]e kept immaculate. This resort is not on the beach but only 5 minute walk or you can take the shuttle. If travelling with kids I highly recommend this resort over any of the other Bahia Principe resorts...the others seemed too stuffy...not a lot of younger kids at them! Wish I was still there! 😎

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Beautiful Place!!

This resort was beautiful! From the perfectly kept grounds, pools, lobbies and rooms- this resort was so well looked after- super clean:) we were very happy to learn that our building was very close to the beach and pools. This complex has several resorts in one which makes for a very busy place. We asked how many rooms were there and were told that there were approx 5000 rooms (mostly 2 in a room) and 5000 staff. This place is huge and people are always coming and going. To go to nightly entert [... read more]ainment you can walk 20-30 min or take a quick trolly ride to try to find it. The food was ok and most times to our liking -not Fabulous... most staff are welcoming and cheerful which is one reason we return to the DR. The people. I would recommend this resort but would caution about its’ vast size... it’s like its’ very own city.

Riu Republica: Great Resort!

Great resort with a wide range of age groups!. Many pools, great beach and fun nightly entertainment. we found the food to be just adequate with lots of repetition of the same foods in most of the restaurants. The snack bar foods were very sub standard for a Riu and this should be looked at to improve as there is very little to eat later in the evening. Rooms were spacious and updated, beds were comfortable Resort was very clean except for the party pools, those areas were very dirty and I wou [... read more]ld not step foot in any of those pools plus music was way too loud in these areas but I am sure it was a lot of fun for the younger crowds! There were many other pools to enjoy so this was not an issue for us. Beach is very crowded so get there early to get a spot. beach area was well maintained and patrolled so not too many vendors bugging you all day.

Impressive Punta Cana: Everything about this resort is amazing.

This resort is beautiful, one of the nicest we have ever been to. The beach is beautiful and we had no problem getting chairs. The grounds are meticulously manicured. The resort is large but point of interests were easy to get to as a map was given to us upon arrival. The food was very good, always fresh, served hot with great selection. The staff of this resort are its greatest asset as all were pleasant, cheerful and eager to help should the need arise. We were informed during our stay, the re [... read more]sort was in the process of changing owners. We hope the wonderful quality of this resort is preserved by its new owners. We highly recommend this resort and are already looking forward to our next vacation here at Impressive Resort and Spa. Our new home away from home down south.

Punta Cana Princess: excellent resort

As usual the resort was great, the service was excellent, we found the bed hard. This was our 12th year at that resort and looking forward to next year. The beach was beautiful and the weather as always was fantastic.

Grand Bavaro Princess: Great resort

The resort was well kept. The food was great and you had a lot of choice of restaurants. My favorite one was the Steakhouse. Amazing filet mignon! The staff from reception, breakfast, lunch, dinner and the resort were all so friendly. They were all there to help you. The only thing that I would have to complain would be the entertainment at night. The room very nice. Beach and pool great. Lots of peddlers on the beach coming to sell things to you but just have to say no and they walk awa [... read more]y.

Riu Bambu: Consistantly good resort

All the rooms, lobby, buffet restaurant, a la carte restaurants and bars have been refurbished. The bar pool has been fitted with in water tables and seats as well as in water beds. There are two large new pools with in water beds and wheel chair access and the seating around the pools has been increased dramatically. The beach is excellent.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Another Great Experience

The grounds are beautifully kept and clean. If gliding, sailing or kayaking is for you then Grand Bahai Principai is the place to be. If you are looking for a white sand beach, tropical music and an ice cold drink that can be found too. . The a la carte meals are delicious and the staff are very attentive. You really have no choice but to relax and enjoy! We will definitely be back to try the Amber section of new condos close to the beach, See you again soon.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: 7 stars hotel!!!!

This place was everything we wished and more. Mister O'Neil suggested us this hotel that we had never heard of before. It was everything he told us; clean, beautiful, impeccable service, impeccable food, and so much more. My husband and I know what we want. And we received 10 fold what we expected. The staff is amazing, the beach is breathtaking, the resort is quiet, the architecture is wonderful. The hotel is new of few years, so everything is new and clean. Not only we recommend this place to  [... read more]our family, but it's officially the go-to place to all our family members. A no brainer place. If you want a peace of mind, this is the place to go. Thank you again O'Neil for presenting this resort to us, we cannot be thankful enough!!!

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Great Resort

Lovely rooms, great restaurants, grounds beautifully maintained. Staff extremely kind and helpful. Never a problem finding a bed or chairs at either the pools or beach. On site cafe worth visiting and food in the Sports Bar terrific for a late night snack.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Paradise at its best

The first impression of the Melia Caribe was amazing. It’s massive, beautiful and very well kept. The beach and water were amazing. The food, drinks and staff we amazing as well. We had an unbelievable vacation.

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Relaxing

Hotel was quite and relaxing exactly was we were looking for. Rooms were spacious and clean. Dodd was good never had a problem finding anything to eat. Beach was beautiful and clean, lots of loungers and Bali beds. Can’t wait to return! Thanks Ash for all your help you are amazing!!

Blau Natura Park Resort: Nice hotel it’s not a 5 star so don’t expect a 5star

Beautiful grounds, always keeping it beautifully manicured. Clean rooms, good food, nice stretch of beach It’s 3.5 or 4 star rating so don’t complain it’s not 5 star. Could use some updating in the rooms for sure.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Luxury Bahia Principe Ambar review

Everything was excellent. We both had a wonderful time. The only suggestion I do have is if they can be more generous with face cloths (washcloths). We got 2 when we arrived and when we asked to get more or get our room cleaned we didn't seem to be allowed to get more. With us being two in a room, only getting one washcloth each for a week is not good. They were generous with the towels but not washcloths which I find strange.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Amazing Resort

The resort was great. It was very clean, the food was amazing and the rooms are spacious. The entertainment was good and the entertainment staff were super nice. They made you feel welcome and are very interactive. I would definately go back again. The only issue we had was that the repairs were not done very quickly.

Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Nice Resort

Modern Decor and clean. Large pool area but no servers. Bar Service Only. Awesome market area with coffee shop. Crepe station that was fantastic. Majority of staff was not overly friendly. Possibly just the language barrier. A La Cartes were great! Privilege Upgrade is falsely presented. No Casino voucher provided, no late check out, no king beds, etc

Riu Bambu: Not a 5 star

This was not a 5 star resort. The rooms were very dirty and old and not what the pictures suggested. The food in the bar (after 9:30pm) was inedible and most likely not safe for consumption. There was not one fresh grill where you could have fresh food except the steak house which required a 2 hour wait to get into. The pools were not well cleaned, and the drinks were bar rail and not brand name which I would expect at a 5 star. The restaurants were misleading and the map and names were not  [... read more]even accurate. Public washrooms were always filled with puke and diarrhea. This was a 3 star at best. Beach was beautiful and well kept.

Ocean El Faro: Growing pains

Will be an amazing resort given a few months. The amenities are great . Just not everything working fully yet. Pools are amazing and is a great place for kids. Not for adults unless you are taking your kids. Food not so great. They are a little ambitious in what they are trying to achieve. I am sure when kinks are worked out it will be an amazing resort. Rooms were large and well appointed. One thing to note - ask as many questions as you want. The staff did not tell us balcon [... read more]y door locked automatically when shut and we both went on balcony and shut door. You guessed it....we got locked out. The beach was not very good. Therefore, spent time at pools.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Not what we expected

We arrived at the resort on January 14th and went to the reception area. The person for checking us in was very pushy. She tried to get us to upgrade our room at $1,000 US for ten days. We said no thank you she the lowered the price to $400.00 and then $300.00 we kept saying no we had paid enough already and she said well you are a bit of away to the beach. We replied we didn’t care. This really left a bad taste in my mouth and I really didn’t even want to stay there. We then waited for thr [... read more]ee hours for a room when we were the only two that stayed at this resort from our plane. The next day meeting up with the rep from Air Transat she too was upset when we told her we weren’t interested in any trips off resort. This was our 8th trip to the DR. We made the best of it all. The resort is very large and they do supply golf carts and trains to get around. The restaurants we found the best was the American Grill, the Italian and the evening buffet on the Adult side of the resort. Our room was good the only complaint about it was the mini bar they only left two mini beers in fridge and it was American beer to boot. The weather was great sorry to say but we will not return to this resort for the reasons above.
