For spanish quiet couples

Great rooms, great landscaping, great beach, excellent food, excellent service and staff but.. unless you are a quiet couple who fluently speak spanish, like to only dance the salsa (no american music at all) and make (only) spanish couple friends, this place is for you! I've been to many resorts but never ever encountered such a small french and english community. Animation and pools are also average compared to the competition (poor night shows and no inpool bar). The foam party thou [... read more]gh was fun, sailing excellent and the staff very professional. Too quiet for my taste.

Relaxing Vacation

Overall the days we spent at this resort were quiet and restful. We had one day when the hot water was interrupted, but it was repaired by the next day. If you sign up to look over their time share options, be aware that it will take 4 hours out of your day, not the 1 hour they promise when you sign up. The worst part of the food was the bacon. It was terrible. Other than that the food was relatively good. If you are looking to go to a specialty restaurant, sign up for the steak house and t [... read more]he french restaurant ... they are the best by far. The rules state men have to have long pants at the specialty restaurants, but this is not true. The only one that enforces long pants is the french restaurant and steak house.. Everyone wore shorts at all the others. At the on site drug store you can buy 8 Viagra pills for $45 US over the counter.

Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful!!!

The rooms were clean and beautiful, food was wonderful beach was amazing... and the staff were soooooo friendly. The shows an nig were very entertaining...I will be back to th wonderful resort. Lov it!

Fun for everyone big and small

This is our second time at this resort and it didn't disappoint. With activities both day and night it is hard to get bored - everything from sports, to shows, to kids games we were kept very busy! The beach was well maintained, and food very good - lots of choice and many restaurants to choose from.

Great Hotel

Not 1 bad experience. The staff bend over backwards to keep you happy. They work so darn hard. Hotel was much larger than we anticipated. Lots of activities to keep you busy, plus a great show in the evening. They did the Lion King on our last night. Yes we would go back.

Beautiful resort and beach.

The beach at this resort is phenomenal, beautiful water and soft sand everywhere, also plenty of room to lay in the sun without being crowded. The staff were all very accommodating and friendly! The only small complaint was the food wasn't the best, and the a la carts were a little underwhelming. That being said the food was most certainly very edible and plentiful.

Ideal for all ages

Iberostar Dominicana and Puntacana are the same.Choose which one is better price. Check in /out very fast. Staff are friendly.The WestJet tour rep more intrested in selling tour pakages than explaning other things.The tours are very expensive,most are over $100 US p/p. We stayed in bungalo type suite and it was very good. The site has beautiful landscape and well maintained. Walking around the site is very enjoyable.Beach is very nice .No water shoe required. The waves are bit high and the water [... read more] is slightly deep, so if you are not a swimmer, you may not enjoy that much.Food is ok. If you are a vegetarian, you are stuck with pastas every day. Would be nice more veg dishes available. Most staff don't speak or understand very basic English.This is a big draw back for Canadian,USA/European tourists. If the price is right, I wil go back again since I spent all my time in the beach.

Great vacation spot!

I took my boyfriend to celebrate his 30th birthday and we had a wonderful time! The staff was great, the resort was clean and the food, especially at the a la carte restaurants, was fantastic! We will be returning soon!

Staff went above and beyond for us!

This was a beautiful resort, the grounds were gorgeous. Well maintained rooms with a balcony. The staff were exceptional. Every wish was their pleasure to provide for us. We travelled as a group of 5 woman. We felt safe, the staff took exceptional care of us. The food was excellent. Lobster and grilled lamb at lunches. Breakfasts were everything you could wish for. Dinners awesome as well. The nightly shows were fun. The staff were always happy and dancing and ready to make you laugh. We were ev [... read more]en lucky in the casino!! I highly recommend this resort. Jose and Maria were lots of fun....and Chocolate...what can I say....excellent dancer. Thanks everyone. We will see you again...soon. Kathy from Canada.

Good holiday, but use to be better

I have been here 3 times in the last 2 years. The last time I was there the dishes were dirty and the bed linens were always damp. They are saving on energy costs. I don,t think I will go back. Lovely beach.

Great resort!

We stayed at the Iberostar Dominicana from May 28 - June 7. We absolutely loved this resort and will go back. The service was great and the resort is very clean. Our room was nothing fancy but clean and fresh everyday. We loved everything about this resort and look forward to going back.

Great winter escape

The grounds were very nicely kept. The pool and beach were incredible. It was always a tough choice to make..go to the pool? or go to the beach? The entertainment was amazingly well done, but it was all in Spanish. The rooms were dated, but comfortable and clean. All in all, it was a great place to go to do nothing :)

Great Resort For The Money

We were two family's who went to this resort in April of 2013. We have been to several 4 and 5 star resorts over the years and this 4 star resort is no better or no worse than most 4 stars. As with most resorts in the Punta Cana area the staff were great and the beach and pool were beautiful. The buffets which are open air were good as well but as usual we found the buffet format tiring by day 6. This is a busy resort so the towel game is definitely in play here. The only gripe I would have is t [... read more]he beach buffet in that it was really busy between 12 and 2 pm so if you want a seat for lunch avoid those times. The sister resorts beach buffet is smaller but we had no problem getting a seat at noon over there. If you are reading reviews on this resort and you are finding bad ones ignore them. As in most reviews of the better resorts there is always something to complain about but this is a resort you cant go wrong .
