Good value resort.

Over all the Blau Natura Park Resort was a very good resort. The staff excellent, the food was good and restaurant's very good. The rooms are dated but clean. Fridge was stocked each day by friendly staff.The grounds are beautifully kept with wildlife freely walking about. Night shows were pretty much what you get at any resort. This resort is small but not crowded, lots of chairs available at pool and beach. The pool was well kept, the beach beautiful and also not crowded.

Blau Natura Park Resort - Excellent for nature lovers

My husband and I have traveled very extensively and have stayed at many resorts in and around Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Blau Resort is one that we will remember as being the best resort for people who want to relax and enjoy their vacation. The resort was very clean. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to ensure that guests were enjoying their stay. We were able to connect with the animation team in such a way that it was very hard saying goodbye on our last day. The gr [... read more]ounds were so beautiful with the many walk-ways, bridges, flamingos, peacocks,exotic birds, ducks, fish and turtles that you were able to feed as you strolled about. There was even a mamma cat and her kitten that stole some hearts. The pool at night was breathtaking to watch as the lights in the water changed from blue, green, pink and purple. The grounds were a nature lover's paradise with the tropical gardens, vines, bushes, and palm trees. The beach was excellent with white sand and warm blue-green water that sparkled in the moonlight. We were able to capture a picture of the "huge" moon that happened while we were there peeking up through the palm trees and cascading its light over the pool. We will most definately return to the Blau Resort.

2nd time around

This is the 2nd time I have been to this resort. Still as amazing as ever. Staff are fantastic, beach is beautiful and food is very tasty!! I would return for a 3rd time as had a wonderful vacation. The staff arrange for great entertainment and fun times for all. This resort rates 4 stars+. I'll be back soon.................... Sheila

Keeps getting better!!!!!!

This is the 3rd time I have been to Blau Natura and it keeps getting better, not that it was bad before. The food has improved and the service and animation team are the best compared to any resort I have visited, and there are alot. Our room in building 8 was the best and I always request this building as it is close to the pool and beach. Juan Louise, who works in guest services went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and help us with a room switch. The resort did not get our reque [... read more]sts for building 8 but juggled a few things and made it happen. Raquel is the best bartender and server and the nicest person ever. Carmelo at the a la cartes always has a smile and Ledy and Eddy Murphy with the animation team got everyone involved in all the games. This resort is a hidden gem with all the wildlife (flamingos, peacocks, ducks and birds) that live on the resort and wander around at large. I would definitely return and I highly recommend it.

Amazing Resort

This place is amazing. Although the rooms aren't the best the people make up for it. The device was always friendly and welcoming and the food exceeded my expectations. They constantly change up the buffet options and have country themed nights for food.

Good first time resort experience

The grounds were well kept, and it was cool to be in the natural environment. Food was average, bar tenders didn't speak much English which made it challenging, but overall clean hotel. Noise carried easily in the room configuration so there wasn't one night I wasn't woken up (coming from someone who doesn't wake up easily). Vendors were set up at the hotel one day which was a bit of a nuisance because they are very aggressive sales people. Lots of options for excursions, and we chose some reall [... read more]y fantastic ones. Overall enjoyed my first stay at an all inclusive, but it was clear there are many more resorts to try.

Awesome!

Went there expecting a three and half star but felt it was much better. Food was great. Staff were great. The grounds were beautiful and the beach, oh the beach, perfect. Palm trees galore, no bugs and lots of activities.

NICE SPOT

MINUTES FROM AIRPORT,NICE SPOT TILL YOU GET TO YOUR ROOM, BOOKED FOR THREE BUT ONLY HAD TWO SINGLE BEDS, PLUS CHESTERFIELD,NO PERSON ON DESK OR PHONE TO SPEAK ENGLISH,NO ATEMPT TO MAKE US MORE COMFORTABLE,SAID THIRD PERSON SLEEP ON CHESTERFIELD, NICE HOLIDAY HUSBAND SLEEPED ON CHESTERFIELD,NEEDS TO BE UPDATED OR THINGS FIXED, THEN IT MAYBE A BETTER PLACE TO STAY

Great Resort

I have traveled to this area first time and find out the real and nature beauty of this resort ...the all areas in general were clean,very friendly staff,good food and I with my friend Anna really enjoyed the time there...hope to return to this place someday in the future and recommend this resort to others Cheers

Wonderful Experience

I was more than pleased about the resort/people/service/room. I walked into this paradise and was wonderfully surprised. I was given the model suite as they are renovating rooms - it was beautiful/warm and inviting. The people could not have been more friendly or hospitable - nothing was too much for them. The resort had many species of birds within the park. The birds were not afraid of people and whould anxiously feed from your hand. Species were Pink Flamingos/Peacocks/Storks/and many others  [... read more]I was not familiar with. The beach was well kept and very accessible. The food - where do I start - steak house/Italian/seafood,and the buffets were amazing. I can say the best food I have had at a resort in a long time. I would recommend this resort to anyone as it was beyond expectations. I would rate it as a 4+++. I will be returning. WONDERFUL TIME...GREAT VACATION. A satisfied guest.

The PERFECT RESORT

Blau Natura is a Wonderful resort (Don't bother listening to the Negative Folks) We took our children & each took a friend (6 total) For A Great Time !!!!! 1. It is a Perfect size, not too big (like some fancier ones) & not too small 2. The property is very well maintained inside & out The gardens and wildlife are incredible 3. All of the Staff are very helpful & Friendly 4. The Food was very good everyday at the Buffet and the 3 Reservation Restaurants added an elegant touch to our trip with De [... read more]licious food & service 5. The pool area had plenty of lounge chairs for all & the bar under the waterfall was of course very convenient and fun 6. The Beach was amazingly great and the hotel had more chairs & umbrellas & Palupa huts for sun shade than you can shake a stick at, very nice 7. Lots of beach toys too, they have 3 Hobie Cats which we sailed on 3 days which was wonderful (ALL FREE) along with Sail Boards, Kayaks & paddle boards 8. Go to the beach & turn left and you can walk for two miles between the jungle & the ocean as this is a nature preserve area and it is BEAUTIFUL !! All of this and its only about a 1/2 hour from Punta Cana airport We did go on a couple of excursions and all went according to schedule which made our trip even more enjoyable WHAT MORE CAN ANYONE ASK FOR, SEEK & ENJOY MY FRIENDS Sincerely: The Russell's Snow Country Of Pa, USA P.S. We Will All DEFINATELY BE BACK, See you soon :-)

This hotel was a Vacation maker/breaker....

Makers: Beautiful, well-kept grounds, lots of wildlife to watch All Restaurant food was good, drinks good too. Got a little tired of the Mantovani style music in the buffet restaurant, otherwise got to hear some good Dominican music in areas around the hotel. Entertainment nightly with the exception of Dominican Night when the vendors come in to sell. Really lovely buildings with thatched roofs, comfy furniture in receptions and lobby. Very nice pool area, beach is right after the pool at the  [... read more]end of the complex. Large, lots of chairs, lots of activity options with separate areas for swimming and water sports. Good gift shop that accepted DR pesos or US dollars but not Cdn. Dollars. Best A/C in the building, staff was very nice and helpful. Staff: Wonderful, kind, patient, polite. Thank you to Kerry, Luis and Angel at reception, Ezekiel and J Flow from the animation team. The room was clean, the towels clean and white. Thank you Mirabel from housekeeping who brought us a fruit plate and a small bottle of rum as welcome. Very meticulous with cleaning our room. Entertainment: Each night there were activities for children from 8ish to 9 and then entertainment such as karaoke, Miss and Mr. Blau Natura, Bingo. Especially enjoyed the Michael Jackson review, you could tell the entertainment staff worked hard and long to produce the show Vacation Breakers: The rooms have standard key locks with only 1 key; they need to upgrade the locks to a card system. Wi-Fi is available for 15 min. free each day in reception, otherwise you have to buy premium, which had to be purchased in US currency at the kiosk or if you had enough time with the free internet, it could be purchased with PayPal. Needed help from the staff to get that set up. The room: yes, the beds are very very, firm, they need to upgrade those mattresses as well as the TVs. A/C: Not very good, so there was a ceiling fan to compensate, at times the ceiling fan rocked so violently I was afraid it would come crashing down on us as we slept. The poor A/C combined with the high humidity made us northerners uncomfortable in our rooms. We were supplied with shampoo and body wash but not conditioner. Again Mirabel came to my rescue and brought me some without me asking. The shower’s water pressure was rather low and at one point we had no water and had to call down the desk to get it rectified. Overall, we have a good vacation, but the little things made a difference in the quality of our stay.

Live exotic birds!

We stayed there for five days from March 5-9th. When we first checked in there was a mix up with our room but the staff member that assisted us was efficient and very helpful. However, the first room we were shown was spacious, updated and had a flat screen TV. The room we ended up getting was old, with dated furniture and an old school box TV in which we never received a remote for so we had to keep getting up to change the channel. Since we were tired and hot, plus were only staying for a few  [... read more]days, we decided to make do with the room. Also, we were supposed to leave been provided with beach towels in our room but never received any. We had to go back and forth between the towel hut and front desk due to an obvious lack of communication between the two. In addition, there are too many locals on the resort trying to hackel you into going on an excursion. I've never been to a resort before where you're being harassed by at least 3 people on your way to your room! This was the biggedt annoyance for me. Keep three trusted excursion companies and/or reps seated in the lobby. The last thing your guests want is to be consistently harassed to and/or from their rooms and especially from people whom you can't distinguish whether or not are trusted or just a local trying to make a buck. The food is okay...look at for some under cooked food but that could happen anywhere. My last day I got food poisoning even though I was mindful of what I ate. The only saving grace was the beautiful peacocks and pink flamingos that seem to live on the grounds. Absolutely beautiful creatures! And gives the resort that added exotic feel. There's nothing like coming out of your room and having these exotic birds right in your backyard! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I would only suggest that seeing as most tourists that frequent the resort speak English, that the staff be versed in it as well. Trying to communicate with house keeping about getting more towels was a mission! Not every experience about this hotel was a bad one. I would recommend it, I would just want potential guests to be aware of my experience. Would I return?? No. Simply because there are some amazing hotels in Punta Cana that I'd like to try out next.

Good resort for the price!

This is a decent resort for the price. The food, including the buffet, is actually pretty good...and the steak house was fabulous. The drinks weren't watered down and the main bar at the front is a great place to relax and have drinks or coffee with friends. The pool is ok, however its not very big and the swim-up bar is kind of cave like, so we didn't like that very much. The beach was great. Apparently the week before we arrived there was a lot of seaweed, however we must have lucked out becau [... read more]se we had a green flag and almost no seaweed all week. And there are plenty of loungers on the beach. Unfortunately, there are A LOT of vendors on the beach. Some work through the resort and some work independently. Our friends purchased a horseback riding excursion from one of them, and had a great time. The rooms are decent and clean, with the fridge restocked daily. We of course tip the maid daily, with cash or items we brought from the dollar store. One bad thing is you get just one key....not even a key card...but a key...and it has the room number on it! Be sure to wear bug spray because although you can't see or feel them, you are getting a lot of bites....in fact my legs were covered with blistering bites. Out of our group of 4, I was the one to get really sick when we got home....to the hospital twice and in bed for a week. Doctors suggest it was something I ate. There is no way to know if it was from the resort or from the food we had on one of the excursions we took. There is a pretty decent market about a 15-20 minute walk from the resort. We felt pretty safe walking there.

Very Enjoyable

Stayed Jan 2016...wonderful holiday, staff was very nice and accomadating. Beach was outstanding and the food was good however a little bit more variety would have been nice. The room we stayed in was just ok...clean but needed updating. Although we did not spend too much time in the room so that was ok. Resort grounds are outstanding!!!

Over-all good value, terrible seaweed

I've been to 5 all inclusive over the last 10 years. This one was average. I would have liked to seen more daily activities. The entertainment was pretty cheesy too. Also the seaweed was so incredibly bad on shore and they only had 2 or 3 guys removing it...so it was never completely removed. I'm talking 2 feet high and in some areas 10 feet wide of seaweed. It smelt bad and made the water brown. To actually see blue water, you had to go out in a boat. Beautiful gardens, good food and drinks, st [... read more]aff were great, water sports good too.

Amazing!

Stunning resort, beautiful grounds, amazing people, food was excellent, room was wonderful......I have traveled to a lot of places this was the best resort I have ever stayed in and I have been to many.

A resort like home away from home

We went to the resort on September 4 for a week . Admittedly before we took off , we were a little concerned as we saw some negative reviews about the resort . But when we were checking in our concerns were eased bit by bit . We checked in at about 9:30 pm .The front desk Flor was very thoughtful , she asked us to go to the restaurant to eat first as it was closing. And she would watch over our luggage at the front desk and allocate us the room . Very considerate service ! And the room she gave  [... read more]us amazed us . Very clean room , it is not dated at all . We, a party of 3 people , were very happy with every detail of the room . Next morning when we explored the resort , we found the grounds beautiful and clean really like a nature park with those lovely ducks , geese , peacocks and flamingos . The beach though not one of the best because of massive seaweed, but resort staff did a very good job clearing the seedweed . Therefore we stayed on the beach whole day 2 days in a week and quite enjoyed it . In fact we preferred the beach to the pool which is also out of sight with a fantastic swim up bar . How can we not mention the restaurant , the food and the servers' servicewhen we were impressed by the resort . We were all happy with main buffet restaurant at every breakfast , lunch and dinner . We tried all the a la carte resturants , all were epic , especially the Gondola Italian restaurant . My wife was moved as the staff came surprisingly with a birthday cake to celebrate her birthday . Thank You ! Herrera and your coworkers ! All the servers and bartenders are warm and enthusiastic , especially Flor , Herrera and Tony . You all deserve my commendation . One more thing , do not miss the burger at the snack bar on the beach . We all loved it . All in all , we had a great time at the resort with nothing disappointing . We strongly recommend this resort and will definitely come back . Blau Natura Park , keep up the good work .

Thumbs up

Beautiful landscape and Eco friendly resort. The peacock, goose, ducks, flamingos co exist with the people.. Excellent food with wide selection. Never boring as nightly entertainment for people who likes the night scene. Drinks to quench your thirst

Great resort

this was a very nice hotel with only a few problems. There should be more to do at night time. This hotel also lets the people on the resort that sells there tours so they always are bugging you, The grounds are nice and well cared for the food is good and most of the staff are nice
