Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Wonderful Vacation!

Will return but won’t take the Preferred package as it wasn’t worth it. The Beach is amazing but people with mobility issues will struggle to get in and out of sea due to steep sandbank. Pools weren’t very clean and didn’t pass my sniff test (they didn’t smell like chlorine). The World Buffet had amazing food but atmosphere temp was too hot. No A/C nor ceiling fans. Stifling hot inside with ovens and grills going.

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Majestic Mirage

We returned to the Majestic Mirage again in early September. The weather was beautiful. The food in the buffet was much better than during our previous visits. The service in most restaurants was excellent. Our butler, Junior, was the best we have ever had. He was warm, kind, and we saw him every day. He helped us address an issue with our airport transfer. The usually beautiful Bavaro beach was unusable due to seaweed which was very disappointing.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: very nice resort

Everything in resort was excellent except the buffet restaurant,lots of improvements to be made.Hotel staff were excellent especially our cobcierge Osvaldo and staff member Sharina.They reached out to us daily to make sure all's well with myself and wife.Beach was terrible.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Not so amazing resort

Boring... Nobody understood english.. Hard to find something to eat... Food was not so great... Wine was even worse... Will not recommend this resort! There was very little shade by the pool...my shower leaked all over ...

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Forgettable Vacay

Hotel has panoramic beautiful veiws of Samana Bay. Hotel rooms are clean but definitely need decent pillows Our room was suppose to be pool veiw but we were put on the 4th floor directly above the main terrace outside of the lobby bar. Entertaining started nightly around 9pm and was so loud you could not sleep. Some nights it went on until midnight. The pool was in need of repairs as tiles were missing and the water was disgusting, needed to be skimmed daily but we only saw it happen once. Brea [... read more]kfast, lunch and supper buffet was very average. We enjoyed the 2 a la cartes as suppers were very good. Apparently we were there during low season as you could not walk much of the grounds. Beach area was very small. The beach snack bar was very good. Staff were very helpful. Only issue was the check in as rooms were not ready and people continually complained. We are not people who like to venture on excursions so we stayed poolside or in the lobby area.

Dreams Flora Resort and Spa: Amazing Resort

Everything was great,Staff were exceptional,respectful,Food was very nice,rooms are spotless cleaned everyday,the grounds are all manicured and clean pools! We enjoyed all the restaurants,the buffet had something different to eat each day Cutlery was very clean,glasses ,cups and saucers ,dishes were all very clean Floors were always spotless tables and chairs always wiped down. Sinks,showers and toilet in our room all worked well no problems Even the safe worked great Our fridge was alway [... read more]s filled with water ,juice ect. Everything was wonderful beginning to end! A fabulous time

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Impressed for First Stay

My friend and I booked this resort for our second trip to the Dominican Republic, hoping to explore a new area after a great previous experience. We knew the pool was under renovation, but as neither of us are "pool people," it wasn't an issue. The resort's smaller layout was charming, and we loved the 10-minute walk to the beach, spotting turtles, birds, and fish along the way. The beach itself was lovely, with plenty of lounge chairs, and we especially enjoyed the wood-fired pizzas and diverse [... read more] drink options at the snack bar. The animation team kept us entertained with a variety of daytime activities on the beach, from darts and Zumba to mixology classes. The food truly exceeded our expectations; we tried all the à la carte restaurants, with "The Blend" being our favorite. The buffet had a wide selection, including a fresh pasta station and an egg station. We found a creative workaround for the lack of a toaster by using the panini press for delicious grilled cheese sandwiches. Our room met our expectations, and we appreciated the eco-friendly touch of a large refillable glass water bottle instead of plastic. This commitment to sustainability was evident throughout the resort, with reusable cups, paper cups, no straws, wooden stir sticks, and large pump bottles for toiletries. The nightly entertainment was a pleasant surprise, featuring engaging dance shows, karaoke, and even a talented magician. Overall, I was very impressed and plan to return to this resort in the future!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Not impressed

The resort that serves burnt food, no towels in washroom and begging for water I didn’t feel that good at all. People needs to be bit compassionate about the tips and money they r getting from tourists. Also makes little easy for check in process so people will understand it clear and better.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Fantastic Place!

Clean, great entertainment and shows. Staff is very friendly. Loved it! Would go back. My kids loved it as well. There was a great coffee shop and boardwalk to wonder around on. A bit big but its ok

Dreams Flora Resort and Spa: The best experience for a first time resort visit

I usually don’t leave any feedback for any of my vacation , but I must say this resort was one of the best experience I’ve ever had . I travelled with my sister who is visually impaired and the accessible access of the resort was impeccable . The staff , the service and the cleanliness of the resort . 10 out 10 for me and yes I will go back .

Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort and Spa: Amazing resort

Secrets playa Esmeralda was a big surprise for the better. Really nice hotel ( we stayed on the preferred area and it is worth it for sure ). Great drinks great food and very attentive stuff. The beach was really nice and if you walk to the left the water is like a pool.

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: NICE RESORT

The Grounds: really nice beautiful lobby. Buffet - Marketplace - needs a facelift; for a 5 star looks more 3 star, chair are dirty and falling apart. Decor out of style Room - the cabanas the foam matrtress had mold and the cabana themself need painting. BUGS in room Staff/ Housekeeping - amazing Shows - really good Nightclub - Was fun Dj's reall good

Royalton Punta Cana Resort: Not good at all

When it was raining my room was flooded and when I complained nobody cared about my problems after 3 days with lots of stress I put towel behind my door ?managers was so rude when I cried he walked away and never apologized.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Small but feels like home

At first we were a bit disappointed as the resort is really small with only a central small pool/area and the activities like pool, tennis table close at 7pm so in the evening except the daily evening activity/show there is nothing else to do. But after 2days or so you start to feel like home, the food is great (best I have ever had in an resort) the staff is super sweet, the beach has a reef so you can snorkel every day at low tide (your feet can still touch the ground and fishes are swimming a [... read more]round you!). As there is only one central main area with the pool the daily activities like games organized by the resort are all happening there so youre not going to be quiet by the pool there is very often music, laughter! But for adults only they have another dedicated pool with another lobby/bar which is amazing if you don't have kids!

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Beautiful Dreams Royal Beach

We had a wonderful stay at Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana. Beautiful location, with a stunning beach, clear water (aside from some sargassum which it is the season for), and plenty of places to relax and enjoy our time away from home. Our room though a little old, was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better, shout-out to our beach bartender Ambiorix who was always coming making sure we had a cold drink in [... read more] our hands. We also enjoyed the food (portofino, mercure, and seaside grill were very good) and the variety of activities (games, dancing and singing) and amenities available. Shout out to the entertainment team Yumi, Rissa, London, Tupac, Pikachu, Rosa, Geoffrey, and Baby face for running energetic dancing lessons and entertainment at the shows every night. We loved the circus and rock show. The atmosphere was relaxing and perfect for a getaway. There was some construction during our stay but it was handled very well and didnt interrupt guests. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we would definitely consider coming back!

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Lovely Resort

The grounds and pool area are well maintained. The lighting at night is especially beautiful and the market place has a great vibe, with shops, ice cream and pizza venues. Lovely area to take strolls and lots of seating options. The entertainment crew work hard to involve guests and we (party of 7 ranging 11 to 80 got involved), Food in buffet and snack bar, excellent. A La Carte, bit of a let down. Sports Bar food, again not so great. Rooms are tired looking and there was issue with the t [... read more]oilets. Bed was AWESOME. We will come back, but will upgrade.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Overall 'Great Trip'

We recently stayed at the Eurostars in Samaná and had a wonderful trip. The hospitality and staff were fantastic—always friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Our room and the amenities were kept spotless. Getting into the local town was very easy and convenient. The setting and views were spectacular. The beach was clean, beautifully maintained, and completely free of seaweed, with great ocean views and good food throughout our stay (except for the Italian / Greek restaurant). The entertainment [... read more] was on the quieter side, but good enough to have a fun evenings. My only wish was the night dancing on the terrace went a bit longer at a minimal 11:30 PM, midnight would have been ideal. I would have loved to use the spa, but the prices felt quite steep compared to Canadian rates and didn’t seem worth the extra spend, though high spa pricing is typical for resorts. Tip: Try to book a room in the main building if you can—it saves quite a bit of walking. Overall, a great stay and I would definitely recommend it!

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: SECOND TIME BACK — AND SENATOR PUERTO PLATA DID NOT DISAPPOINT!

WHY WE CAME BACK At the end of the day, what makes Senator special isn't just the beautiful resort, the food, the drinks, the entertainment, or Puerto Plata itself. It's the PEOPLE. The staff are what make you want to come back. We came back for our second visit, brought our family, and booked SIX ROOMS — and honestly, we are already talking about coming back AGAIN! Every single person who took care of us played a part in making this another unforgettable family vacation. 101% RECOMMENDED! We LOVE you, SENATOR PUERTO PLATA!

We just got home and WE ALREADY MISS THE PLACE! Until we meet again, Senator Puerto Plata! SERVICES THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIA! WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!

Impressive Premium Punta Cana: Beautiful Resort

Impressive Hotel for sure, beautiful green vegetation with many pool options. Everything is within walking distance including the beach. The food at the buffet and à la carte was ok, we were just not lucky with the Italian restaurant, the food was really bad. We enjoyed the shows, especially the great Michael Jackson concert. Most staff could use a little bit of training to improve on their professionalism. They couldn’t be bothered, it was as if they just didn’t want to be there. The maid [... read more]s were extremely loud. It was not easy to sleep in, which is what most of us like to do when we are on vacation. We were lucky to have Joel as our concierge, he was very helpful and very prompt in responding to our questions and needs. Our welcoming committee did not give a good first impression. A gentleman nicknamed Macgyver took us to a corner and asked us intrusive questions, including what we did for a living. He also talked down on the airline that brought us to Punta Cana. We found all that to be very unprofessional. Overall, we enjoyed our 7 day stay. If only the staff could be a bit more cheerful.
