Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Great Resort

I had a great time. weather was perfect. I went to join a wedding party that left before me. Even that I went as a single person I had a beautiful time. I saw how the Family areas were separated for some more adult areas. The preferred package was worth the upgrade. I went for beautiful and relaxing time and that is what I got. The food was good and the staff were friendly with me.......I would go again

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: More than expected!!

Golf coarse was in great shape!!Hotel staff was more then helpful in every way. The room was very spacious and clean. The view was excellent. Staff stopped in every night to make sure nothing was required for an excellent night. The grounds were very clean . Overall a must return is in order!! Golfing was great but cart rentals were expensive 75$US. Once again I would like to thank all barcelo bavero palace staff for a very much needed fabulous vacation!! Thank you

Occidental Caribe: Good Resort

Rooms need to be updated but were clean. Bed was fine..only complaint...maids have to have checklists..almost every day we had to ask for something..towels,soap, minifridge. We found all staff friendly..no complaints.. Food ..ok..you wont go hungry..just more variety needed. Bars..awesome..

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Amazing staff, nice resort!

Had a great stay at Be Live this past week. Food was excellent, staff were amazing, grounds were fairly clean, and room was OK. The room was very outdated (not like the photos online) and had a musty smell. The grounds on the resort were very nice. The main pool was a little dirty.. lots of sand in the pool. The staff made the trip the best it could be. Champagne and Eddy Murphy were absolutely amazing!! Very nice resort for young people, lots of activites to do.. maybe not the best for relaxing [... read more]. Overall nice and i would go back.

Paradisus Punta Cana: VERY NICE HOTEL

HOTEL VERY WELL KEPT. GROUNDS CLEAN AND ROOMS VERY WELL SERVICES. FOOD GENERALLY FINE BUT COULD USE A LITTLE IMPROVING. DRINKS EXCELLENT AND PLENTIFUL 2 SHOWS WE SAW WERE EXCELLENT. bUTLER SERVICE WAS NOT A BIG DEAL THE REST OF ROYAL SERVICE WAS GOOD AND THE LOUNGE WAS EXCELLENT.

Secrets Royal Beach: Wow

Started by a great experience at trip central with Tammy templeton in respect to all booking arrangements. The whole trip went great. Resort food was great, no complaints. Service was fantastic, no complaints. Resort and room cleanliness was also great. Rooms cleaned early unlike other resorts that take till 5 pm to clean rooms, no complaints at this one. We loved everything about this resort except the fact that smoking is everywhere and no way to get away from it and as usual, smokers do [... read more]n’t give a crap so in today’s day and age, there should be some areas designated as some other resorts.

Grand Palladium Palace Resort Spa and Casino: A nice resort but:

We are retired pensioners and found the shower very hard ( and dangerous ) to get in and out of as it is located in the Jacuzzi and it was also very slippery. The food was o.k. The staff were excellent and most speak passable English although we were constantly pestered by some staff trying to sell massages, parasailing, etc. Staff were very attentive and bar service was excellent. I would not recommend this place for older people because of the showers.

Excellence El Carmen: Excellence El Carmen was excellente!

Just returned home from a wonderful week holiday at the Excellence El Carmen with three couples. We have travelled to a lot of all inclusives resorts and by far this one was superior! Staff and service was excellent. Food was delicious, plentiful and there were so many options of a la carte restaurants to choose from. No reservations required and we had no problems at all getting into all the restaurants. Plenty of towels and beach & pool chairs available. Tipping was welcomed but you did  [... read more]not feel if you did not tip all the time that service would be compromised. Entertainment was very good and offered something for everyone every night. The karoke night was so much fun. This resort was top notch! I highly recommend this resort! We will return :)

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Good value

The buildings and grounds were comparable to a five star. Staff are constantly working hard to keep this place spotless and up to date. Staff is very kind but most don't speak English. The food was good, as was the beach and pools. I can't complain about this place.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: 5 stars indeed, but lacking beach front

Everything in terms of grounds inspire a top of the line resort. Gardens, rooms cleanliness and dining room. Unfortunately, we didn't find the vacation were looking for. And this is because the hotel is so far away from the beach that you either walk some good 10-15 minutes or forced to wait in designated spots for a golf cart to take you there. The beach is confined for adult only, but super crowded. Chair to chair, hundreds of them, people close to each other, no privacy at all. If you get by [... read more] 8 am, chances are that you don't see the ocean at all, as available chairs are far back. There is no bar service on the beach. In the area allocated to Aquamarine we did not see any waitress taking orders, during our stay ... So not very 5 stars service. Another turn down is the expensiveness, from the lobby stores to the excursions. Mercantilism of the resort is something that stroked me from the beginning. For this reason I am out, and not returning to that place. Bahia Principe in Punta Cana is a complex of seven huge resorts, therefore the beach allocation is very limited. If you are a beach type of vacationer, find other places. Cuba is awesome!!! For a budget.

Sunscape Bavaro Beach: Disorganized resort!

Hotel buildings are ok and good location. However if you are foodie person please don't go there, because you will be very very very disappointed. I am not saying much but there is not way I would go to Sunscape Bavaro in Punta Cana. However they have some of amazing people.

Riu Republica: Beautiful resort!

The hotel was beautiful, we had a great view of the garden, pools and water slides. The beach was so clean and water was clear most days. Big waves but still fun to swim and watch. Amazing sunset behind the trees most nights. Food was excellent and had lots of options for everyone. Italian restaurant was our personal favourite. Parties and staff had lots of energy and there was different music for everyone at each of the pools. Waterslides were excellent and used them every day. Overall 10/10 wo [... read more]uld recommend this resort!

Secrets Cap Cana: Really great hotel

Not crowded, plenty of loungers, sun and shade, great service. Privilege section pool great, large, quiet; Main pool huge, plenty of activity.

Better seating & layout in lobby area would help ..create gathering and hangout area which in many hotels becomes a focal gathering point. Here is too few seats, dumb ass water hazards, poor layout.

Occidental Caribe: Beautiful Resort

This resort was amazing ! Wasnt too big and wasnt crowded. Had lots to do. If you wanted a quiet pool they had it and at the other pool had games and events and a pool bar. They also had a pool for kids as well . Beach wasnt too far. Drink were not waterdown and bathrooms were clean . Room service was great and rooms were super clean with a coffee maker :). I do tho have one complaint which is the service at the buffet! food was great but the service to get coffee in the morning was lacking badl [... read more]y!! i didnt tip cus there wasnt no one to tip also No decaf coffee :(.

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Not a 5 star experience!

Lovely beach Inconsistent service, front desk staff by far the worst of the team. Moody and quite rude. Not helpful when asked for help. Adolfo at front was most noticeably miserable and actually quite rude. The rooms dated, small and run down, repairs needed details missing. Cold lobby. Food is ok at restaurants, buffet as expected so,so. Most snack bars and inroom dining cold. Ice machines and spa jets/pools not working during our stay. Not much being done to rectify. Lots of entertainm [... read more]ent if you enjoy a busy pool scene this is your place. Solid fitness selection, enjoyed aqua spin with one of the instructors (the machine) if you travel a lot and have experienced 5 star elsewhere don’t expect it here. If you’re new to travel and don’t mind missing details you’ll enjoy chic. Our other Royalton experiences were far better than this one. Won’t be coming back here.

Excellence El Carmen: Very Clean and modern Resort.

Was there from Nov 23- 30th 2018. The resort is very clean and very modern. The restaurants are all very good, the Grill and the Mexican were our favourites, but all were good. The main buffet is only open for breakfast and lunch which was a little bit of a surprise. We always like to have the buffet to fall back on in case the resturants are not very good. They do have a Sports Bar that has more of a North American flare to it, Chicken wings and things along that line. The resort is out [... read more] in the middle of nowhere so it is a bit of a bumpy, exhaust-filled ride to do anything, the excursions were not good at all and this was the consensus of all the people we talked to. We had a room with the private rooftop plunge pool and seating area, great for morning or late evening swims and sunbathing. The room itself was small but you are hardly in it so that was not an issue. the swinout rooms on the bottom floors are wide open for people to see directly into them as they are walking by, so if you like privacy I would recommend the 3rd floor with the rooftop plunge pool, these ae only available in the buildings near the ocean and they afford you beutiful views. Every building has its own pool, but the fun is at the main pool, that is were freindships are made so go and meet people there:) Over all a very nice "quiet" vacation. Not our best but not our worst either.

Now Garden Punta Cana: Very well groomed establishment

The house jazz band was excellent. Need to see more of them. Maybe have them playing softly in the main lobby. Jose the bartender at the Now Garden swim up bar was very efficient and friendly. Man needs a raise he is that good. Best manicured beach along the strip.

Riu Republica: What a fantastic resort- first class and worth all 5 stars from start to finish

Don't spend another minute choosing another resort- Riu Replubica is simply the best 5 star resort in the south for your money..it was very helpful we could avoid Toronto airport (went out of Hamilton) but we never expected the place to be so immaculately clean and well served with happy eager people! Our food expectations were "all inclusive" but we really did enjoy all the variety and the a la carte options were nice - but the buffet for all 3 meals could not be beat! Our room was very comfy a [... read more]nd clean and the grounds were outstanding! This is a huge place and it was packed but we always found a chair on the beach or by the pool or for one of the entertaining evening shows. I wouldn't bother with the excursions next time as the place had loads of variety and opportunity for fun all day and night!...We will be back Jody and Laura

Grand Memories Punta Cana: Great Resort

The waterpark was so fun, beaches were rocky but nice. Pools were beautiful and quiet. Fun shows and great food. The walls are very thin and mornings are very loud after 8am, a lot of interruptions. Overall a great resort.
