Impressive Punta Cana: Service could be better.

Found the resort very beautiful and well-kept at first impression everything seem to be very well maintained. Until the sales pitch started constantly pressure to upgrade buying packages for future vacations, constantly pressuring everywhere we went while walking around the resort, either too purchase excursions, visit the spa for massage Etc. For example in 2 hours while sitting at the pool was approached 6 * by various people. Not including vendors set up on the grounds in every pathway making [... read more] an impossible the walk peacefully without being bothered. Only to reach the lobby to be confronted by Hotel staff looking to steal you yet again further upgrades and massages. If only the service with the staff even with simple things as receiving a drink before you finish your meal in buffet or at a la carte match the scenery of the beautiful Resort & Country. What a shame

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Beautiful

This place is amazing for kids and adults, lots and lots to do. The food is alright. And the entertainment Is really good as well. I only wish they had like a beach bar/snack bar. This was really the only thing I wasn’t to thrilled about.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Great resort for families & adults only

Large white sand beach, many different restaurants (Japanese, French, Italian, Spanish, Sports restaurant, etc.), & activities (mini-golf, golf, bowling, tennis, basketball, water sports, sailing, canoeing, etc.) many pools, water park for kids, many bars, 2 large theaters with great shows every night. Hotel is large with many different buildings so you never feel cramped up with people around, hotel rooms are very nice and beach chairs are always easily available with good shade from many palm [... read more] trees. In all, a great hotel. We stayed in the adult section but had access everywhere on the family site.

Grand Sirenis Tropical Suites: Great Resort - Great Vacation!

We have visited this resort many times. Our last visit was in 2018, just prior to the resort renovations. Our most recent visit was 24 February - 4 March 2020. The changes to the resort are wonderful. Bright and airy colours, everything new and refreshed. We stayed in the Grand Sirenis Tropical Suites side and had a room on the second floor of our building. The ceilings are vaulted, lots of light, bright and light colours make the room feel large and cool. All the services were great - re [... read more]ception, concierge, room keeping, buffet service, restaurant service, bar service, and gym. We ate at several of the a la carte restaurants for dinner and the Saona Buffet for breakfast. We noticed that there are improved choices for food from our last visit. There are more made to order options at the buffet and lots of other healthy eating options. Similar for the a la carte restaurants. Anna at the Saona Buffet was great! Animation staff were great. They provided fun beach aerobics and dance lessons daily. The gym has been enlarged and has lots of good equipment-cardio, weights, etc. We enjoyed the new entertainment area located at the front of the resort. You can sit under the stars and listen to a band every night. What I really go for is the wonderful beach. Velvet-soft sand. Lots of palapa and lounge chairs. Not too many other resorts nearby. You can walk on the beach for 30 minutes before coming to another resort. The staff keep the beach rally clean. All the beach facilities are kept very clean. We had a great time, and will return again!

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Beautiful resort

My husband and I really enjoyed the resort. Our room was located on the quieter side of the resort the food was amazing the staff were friendly it was a very relaxing time for us. During the 3 days of downpours the staff made every effort to clean up the numerous floods of water they seemed to be overwhelmed at times but handled it the best way they could. As Canadians we took it all in stride. It didn’t stop us from having a good time and making the best of it. At least it was warm and not s [... read more]now lol

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Mother & Daughters week in paradise!

The Hotel really is beautiful, very clean! Which was my main concern. The food was fabulous which was my second concern; and being that we were there (2 females without a male) I had a bit of fear for safety, but I can say it felt very safe right from the start. But what did happen was very unexpected because I’ve never experienced any “bumps” in the roads on any other vacations I’ve been on, I’m adding this to my review because I did read many of them before going and never seen anyt [... read more]hing on mishaps which if I would have I could have better prepared myself by asking more questions, and having back up plans in place. So first off, our connector flight was cancelled due to weather so we scrambled to get to Toronto from Windsor to catch the main flight, then when we got there they told us that our whole trip was no longer in the system!! Ugh so we had to be re ticketed and called the hotel to make sure they still had us on the books, all worked out but very stressfully, then when we got to the hotel we had a beautiful room with a great view but it only had one bed, which I booked two beds so I brought this to the attention of the folks at the front desk, they moved us the next day and all seemed well, except the view wasn’t that great we were now looking at the resort next to ours, and it was actually the break area and loading dock of the resort next to ours, so I wasn’t happy but thought well no big deal, then the first night the noise of the workers on break and the trucks coming and going, idling , and beeping when backing up kept me up for hours, I mentioned this to the front desk and they were willing to move us again but it just seemed to be too much to go through again, they ended up compensating us with a bottle of rum and a couple of travels mugs (better than a kick in the pants) so we just decided to deal with the noise, and make the most of it. To sum it all up we enjoyed every minute of the vacation, regardless of the mishaps, next time I will confirm prior to going that we are getting what we ordered. Life is too short to let the little things wreck the big picture 😁 Hope this review is helpful

Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana: Amazing resort

Have been going to the DR for over thirty years and this was the best place we have ever been at. The food was delicious and service by the staff fantastic. The view from our room was fantastic. The bus ride to and from the resort was only ten minutes , the shortest we have experienced to date. No wristbands required and could walk in to any restaurant with out any reservations.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Great family resort

Very family friendly. Beach was fantastic. Jr suite very close to everything, beach, pool, buffet, main building. Fun in the casino where only free wifi available. Food was good, nice variety. Would go back again!

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Amazing Resort, Room

Grounds were immaculate. Rooms leave much to be desired (lack shelving and room for storage of different items). Hot water was lacking as we never knew when it was going to be on. Power interruptions and no water on some days. Washroom shower area is lacking in any safety features. Towels, in washroom area were not sufficiently supplied. ie hand towels, face cloths. Amenities that are available in other 5 Star Hotels were no where to be seen. The Staff went out of their way to make our sta [... read more]y as pleasant as possible.

Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort: Nice Vacation

We enjoyed our time and the best was all the staffs. Always helping with a big smile. The food was great we enjoyed Rodizio 2 times ,Bellini,Blue Lagoon,Casablanca and pearl buffet was great. indochine was just ok. The resorts was big and nice. The beach wasn't big but we did enjoyed the waves and the VIP section with the cabana and jacuzzis was amazing. Drinks,food,sushi and again great service.

Zel Punta Cana - All Suites: great resort

staff was friendly,helpful and willing to get what we asked for. bars were well stock, no lines waiting and plenty to drink. plenty of chairs on the beach and the pools. rooms were big, bar fridge was full. food was good at the buffet , specialty dinning was very good

Ocean Blue and Sand: Great location

The best about this place are the workers at the pool, bars, restaurants and buffet. They are all hard workers and always have a smile on their faces. Both pools are very enjoyable and the beach is so so.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Excellent resort

I do recommend Now Onyz everything was excellent the food the service the employees are always there to offer a drink. I would go back. The pools were clean night entertainment was very good. Lots of activity if you want to participate.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: A smoker's paradise

Thumbs up: - Plenty of beach to walk along. A couple of km for sure. - Exterior is lush with palm trees and lots of vegetation. It's beautiful especially at night. - I deal for couples and children. Thumb down: No face towels in the room. Every 2 days I had to request them. No drink service in the common areas. Think self-service when sitting in a lounge chair by the pool or beach or in the lobby area. I knew something was "off" when all I was given during registration was a [... read more] card for my room and a card for my pool towel. No map of the resort. No description of the restaurants and schedules. Nada. The non-smoking area is simply...nowhere. This particular hotel seems to favor smokers overall. Seaweed problem. No decaf in the rooms and no effort was made to get some. In fact, asking for it appeared to bother the front desk. The manager, himself, appeared uninterested in any of my concerns. Perhaps, if I had been a smoker with a family of 3, more attention would have been provided? No problem. I get it. The D.R. is known for scams so if you leave the resort, chances are that you'll get victimized. I got scammed using, of all things, Uber Know that if you are a solo traveller, you won't get the same level of attention. Solo travellers appear to fall through the cracks. Reserving a long chair in the pool area is common and appears to be most welcome. Better get there early if you want a chair. People commonly reserve long chairs for a week at a time. My over all impression of this particular Iberostar resort is that it is using the "Iberostar" brand to attract patrons and since Iberostar corporate doesn't enforce a high standard of quality service in all of its hotels, I will no longer be visiting the chain. I've been to Iberostar 4 years in a row and this was my last.

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: The place to relax

Nice moderate size hotel located on a great sandy beach with lots of palms.beautufl pools and great food.wonderful coffee shop.nightly entertainment.great service.premium alcohol at lobby.staff available to answer questions and always smiling.lots if places to sit drink and chat about

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: We liked this resort so much, we returned for the second time.

As stated, this was a return trip, having gone to the Aquamarine in 2019. The only difference was the carrier. A special shoutout to Hector in reception who handled our request for a room change closer to the lobby and buffet so that my wife did not have to walk far on her bad knees. Our room was great, the bed was comfortable. Great food at the buffets. The only drawback to this resort is the availability of the a la cartes.This might be that this resort is so popular.Checkout was seamless. If  [... read more]we wanted to go to the beach, theatre, or other places, reception made a trolley readily available. Great resort !!!!

Lopesan Costa Bavaro Resort Spa and Casino: Best resort in Punta Cana

Loved this place. We had a swim up room and were impressed with all aspects of this beautiful resort. To put it simply, this is now only resort I would go to in Punta Cana. Modern and clean. Great food. Great service.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Great Resort

V Heavens is a clean well kept resort. Rooms are spacious, clean, fridge kept stocked, good WIfi coverage. Restaurants including the buffet was very good. Beach was a short walk away with a nice restaurant for lunch and drinks. No shortage of lounges at the beach. Staff was excellent.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Beautiful and amazing resort

Stunning resort, beautiful, well maintained grounds, amazing food, fabulous Mike's coffee! All employees were very helpful, with any questions or needs! Great beach area! There were ppl on the beach selling goods, but found them to be respectful and not pushy. The only negative was that our room had a hint of musty odor.
