Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine, Punta Cana

The property was nice. Pools are good, Rooms are nice. Good gym The issue we had was with the food - especially with the lack of food options during the day. The only coffee shop on the resort was off limited to us as we were at the Aquamarine and the coffee shop was only for those at the Ambar. So, machine coffee it is. The meals at the restaurants are OK, not great. Went to watch a World Cup football game at the sports bar, during the day. The place was empty except for the 4 booths at [... read more] the very back that were full. This is because no one was allowed to site the big screen without reservations. That entire area was empty! Also, beer was $5 at the Sports Bar. The staff was polite but not friendly. I will not be returning to this resort.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Amazing Trip

We loved the resort grounds, the food, the people. Room was very dated but clean. The AC worked and toilet flushed. Entertainment was good but often ended early in the evening. Liked that it wasn’t crazy far from airport too.

From start to finish this resort is simply top notch! Staff are incredible, grounds are amazing , rooms are heavenly and the food is excellent! Would go back in a heartbeat! Majestic resorts have it all! Perfect vacation spot!

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Disappointing

There was black mold on our bathroom ceiling and I ended up with bacterial pneumonia hospitalized for 3 days which the doctor at the hospital said it could certainly be caused by mold They switched our room. The new room had a faulty electrical outlet. Theywere supposed to fix it but never returned. They put a huge cable outlet running across the room which could have ended up with one of us tripping. We got locked out of our room for 2 1/2 hours because of the faulty lock. No compen [... read more]sation given us whatsoever

Occidental Punta Cana: Low budget hotel

1. It’s a Spanish owned hotel, not much workers speak English. 2. Food was a 5/10 3. Waited 1 hr in line at the reception desk to check into our room just to find out we have a royal level check in which is somewhere else that had no line. Workers were not working, keep leaving the desk doing other things even thought the line was long. 4. Beach was the highlight 8/10 just lots of seaweed by the shore.

Royalton Hideaway Punta Cana: Not bad but not great

The grounds of the resort are beautiful and the entertainment is top notch. For some reason is says I’m reviewing Hideaway but we were at the Punta Cana Diamond Club. Tried to get connecting rooms - no luck. Reserved rooms ahead of time - not honored. Our daughter has a shellfish allergy and it was a very difficult experience for her. We informed the resort of her life threatening allergies and on the second day we found a shrimp tail in the children’s pasta. We had a good response from the staf [... read more]f to help accommodate her need to use take out containers and eat in her room. On a few occasions we were stopped and questioned about using take out containers. The beach has beautiful sand but the water is not turquoise - it is kinda like swimming in an Ontario lake. The pools are super warm and both my kids got ear infections after a few days. Being ear drops because they are 35USD at the shop at the resort. The water park at Splash was a lot of fun.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Good Resort

We have been to this resort 3 times in the last 4 years, we had excellent service from Rodolfo the beverage person. The house keeping staff was amazing, an issue we had was we booked a king size bed in November 2025 but we were given 2 twins. Which was disappointing as this was our 25th wedding anniversary trip. Some of the à la carte restaurant the staff were dismissive and rude. The Indian and Greek restaurants were disappointed in.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Adequate resort experience

Pretty grounds, talented bartenders. Poor communication about shuttles to and from the airport Food was amazing with new items everyday. Very nice house red and white. Bring singles to tip wworkers

Riu Republica: very big hotel

this hotel was huge, plenty of lounge chairs, plenty of restaurants, huge buffet. many rooms lack air conditioning, we had to request a different room 3 times, eventually we got one that if you kept the blackout blinds closed with the ceiling fan and ac, you were able to bring the temp to 24 degrees. we slept comfortably as the bedding was thin and light. showers were huge, stingy on the shampoo, the staff works 12 days on 3 days off so they seemed tired. when we tipped some staff member we got  [... read more]better service, but at first they barely looked us in the eyes. the beach was beautiful, no seaweed, huge waves super fun jumping and splashing into the waves, i enjoyed the monkeys and parrots on the beach. dont do the saona beach excursion it was filled with bees and you spend most of the time in the car and on the boat, takes forever to get there. you had to take a shuttle to riu palace to enjoy the wild theme parties, the hotel itself was kind of boring at night. overdose of bachata music and performers. the activty pool and calmer pool had two speakers going at the same time, that was super annoying its like my ears had no idea where to listen. buteventually our super nice pool server said something and suddenly we had bachatta at the calm pool and regular top 40 at the activity pool. legit felt like two ipads blasting the same time.. mbut once we said something it changed instantly so that was appreciated.

Paradisus Grand Cana: 3 night 4 day Trip

At first we thought the distance to the beach would be an issue but it was not at all. It was nice to make the beach a full day event and plan for it. The rooms were great. The pools were cool and each building had its own pool. We only went for 4 days and 3 nights and that was perfect for us.

Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort and Spa: Total bliss & happiness

Despite multiple mixed reviews, we went with out gut to Secrets Michès and loved it. We received a warm and genuine service since arrival. Top coktails and drinks all day with Mildred, Dani and Pedro at pool bar and with Yafreisy at Lobby bar-- best Lemon Drop and Maracuya Martini we ever tried. Good food at main restaurant lead by Chef Alejandro and service by several team members like Yohan. Overall fantastic value. A la carte restaurants were good: we were surprised by the Mediterranean food  [... read more]Meraki and by Tierra which were our favorites. Did not wait long for a table at any of them. Fair live music and shows with the entertainment teams who work really hard and do a fantastic job. To the complaining Karens and Kens saying they paid for more than you get: if you are paying less than $1,000 USD per night per person, you are not overpaying!

Riu Republica: Stay at Riu

This the 2nd time we stayed at Riu costa Rica and then in Punta Cana We were given a room where the toilet and the phone did not work.they were kind enough to change our room But here also the air con did not work although it was scorching hot.outside. we reported.the matter 3 times to the reception and.nothing was done until our return date after 7 nights. Not a gteat stay. We also got a.long hair in our food. Just imagine.

TRS Turquesa: Horrible resort would not recommend it

I would not recommend this resort, the food was cold at buffet restaurant and terrible at the Italian restaurant, the only decent restaurant was the Chinese restaurant where they cook the food in front of you and The Grill restaurant by the pool, the entertainment was boring and pathetic except for the shows that they had in the lobby, the entertainment crew were rude and there white party was a joke which they had at the soccer field, they should have had one at the TRS which was closer for the [... read more] guests and the MOSQUITOES were terrible they were everywhere even in the rooms, the maids were excellent and very nice, the butlers were useless, Jaime the nice man who drove the carts was a sweetheart and very nice but in general it was a terrible resort

Punta Cana Princess: Good Resort

I will give it a 6 in 10 the atmosphere was nice . The room very quiet and spacious and clean . The restaurants not that great but the staff very friendly. We didn’t like the beach at all , that what really bothered us they didn’t clean the sargasso until the last day So we didn’t get to enjoy it .

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Great Resort

This is a beautiful resort... Spacious rooms, many food choices... lots of pools to choose from... plenty of on site activities... but the beach is its downfall.... plenty of seaweed with heavy waves rolling in.... If the beach is your thing then avoid this area...

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Amazing resort

This resort had great food, great amenities and really friendly staff. The resort was very clean and spacious with well thought design. The coffee shop was my favourite. The fully loaded gym and the casino were a bonus because we had access to the other Iberostar resorts through Joia. The only part I would say needs improvement is the entertainment during the day and night. The night shows felt very repetitive and nothing special. There was also no dock/live games/dancing/entertainment at the po [... read more]ol during the day.

Riu Republica: Good budget resort

We had a good time at the Riu Republica last week. Airport transfer took a while because there were so many drop offs and we only got to our Riu after almost 2 hours. Check in was pretty quick. However I’d like to point out that we were sharing a room with our daughter( 3 people) and the check in guy said they only had twin beds and those would be really small and cramped!! He suckered us into paying an extra US 130 for a king and single!! Totally our fault for falling for this and not trying to [... read more] check the room first!! Anyway just a heads up in case anyone else is in the same situation. The beds are big enough for 2. Room could need upgrades but when our AC leaked they came promptly to fix it. Bar was always full, room was cleaned, but sheets need to be changed. We were there for a week!! No complaints about the food or restaurants. Jerk hut was amazing!! Beach was great and we were very lucky to experience sargassum(mildly) on just one day. Pools were good, water park a lot of fun and service all round was very good. Staff were friendly and polite.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: good 3 star resort

We recently stayed at the Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa for two weeks in mid-May, and unfortunately, the experience fell short of our expectations. On the positive side, the pools were cleaned daily, most of the staff were friendly (especially when tipped), the à la carte restaurants were well-maintained and clean, and the property offers an easy, accessible walk between the two resorts. However, there were several significant drawbacks. The lobby felt sterile, lacking any ambiance or music.  [... read more]The buffet food was consistently bland and repetitive. At the à la carte restaurants, we felt constantly rushed throughout our meals. While the pool surfaces were cleaned, the skimmers never functioned properly, leaving bugs and debris floating in the water all day. Furthermore, tipping felt mandatory for even the smallest service, such as receiving a bottle of water. The service regarding pool chairs was particularly frustrating. Butlers would reserve chairs for guests who never showed up; despite rules stating that staff should clear unattended towels, this was never enforced, even when other guests made direct requests. It was also disheartening to see that butlers could be easily bribed; other guests openly bragged about paying $200 to receive "preferred" treatment without actually booking a preferred room. We spoke with several other families from Europe who were there during our stay, and we all agreed that we would not return or recommend this resort.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Excellent resort

Everything was impeccable.........................................the grounds, the pool, the restaurants, the unbelievable service for all of our fourteen guests. All the staff were incredible. We renewed our 50th anniversary vows under the gazebo and the wedding planner Eddiana wwas outstanding and the officiator was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!! We would highly recommend this resort to everybody.
