Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Great place to stay!

5 stars for sure. Grounds were beautiful, food was excellent, staff were amazing. The only bad thing was there was an adjoining room door and I could here the person snoring like a freight train. It was also disturbing when the drunk crowd got back to their rooms at 4am and slammed their room doors, at night it sounds like a bomb going off.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: GREAT Vacation at the Be live Collection

My wife and I stayed here between March 31 and April 7, 2018. As soon as we arrived we went straight to an employee and asked where the VIP Check-In was. Within 5 minutes we were being lead to the office with a seamless check-In. We were very happy that we upgraded to the VIP Adult section. It doesn't give you more A la Cartes, but the extra restaurants and bars made it worth while. Our butler's name was Felix and he did an awesome job!!! Very friendly, helpful, and his service was excellent!! [... read more]! I will do a quick breakdown of everything that I look for when reading reviews. Room - we were in the 5 block which is in the VIP Family section, although we hardly saw or heard any children. Location was close to everything. We had a balcony and the bathroom was modern. Bed was comfortable. No complaints. Restaurants - VIP breakfast and lunch buffet was great. It is the Mexican restaurant at night, but in the day it is called the Aqua which is just for VIP. Steak Restaurant - had the Caesar salad, chicken wings, Rib-Eye (cooked specifically to my liking MEDIUM-RARE), and the roasted potatoes, along with the brownie for dessert. Everything was excellent!! Brazilian - If you are a meat lover, this place will suit you fine! Many different cuts of meat that is so tender and delicious!! Japanese - Tempenyaki style. A lot of fun and the food is delicious. Burger Joint - Everything was delicious, especially the chicken wings and mozza sticks! Beach - the beach was absolutely beautiful. They work very hard to rake up all the seaweed and was NEVER an issue. The water was a little mirky at the beginning of the week, but by day 4 it was very clear. Pool(s) - The activity pool, which is the only one with a swim-up bar, was always mirky and seemed to have a film on the top of it. It is also the only pool for people that don't have VIP, including kids. Didn't spend too much time there as the VIP Pools were much cleaner. Staff - These are the staff members that stand out most to us because of their great service, Orlando - I believe he was the VIP manager. He was great when we were checking in and helped us get settled in. Jose-Luis was our 1st butler. He helped by escorting us to our room and always speaking to us later in the week, even when he was replaced by someone else, FELIX! Like I had mentioned before Felix did an amazing job! He couldn't do enough for us!! Always there asking if we needed anything. It was our wedding anniversary and Felix, along with Jose-Luis, decorated our room with rose pedals, candles, and champagne! It was incredible. They definitely went above and beyond to make our stay a great one. Pedro, Irvin, Marlania, and Christian at the VIP Beach bar, were always friendly and provided great service! The animation team were also very friendly and would always ask how your day was. All in all, the service was superb. There are a lot of comments about the guys in the Beige shirts. yes they will ask you to meet to discuss time shares. My suggestion, and it worked for us, talk to one of them. Get his name. Remember it. And next time someone else asks you to meet, just say that you already spoke to ....! It can be annoying, but this is their job. They are usually friendly so just be respectful and they will do the same. Same goes with the people that are selling stuff on the beach. Just so no thank you and they will leave you alone. The landscaping and maintenance was very nice and clean!! All in all, we had a great trip and were pleased with everything! We would go back to this resort. If you can afford it the upgrade to VIP was worth it.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Best Resort I have been to.

To be honest The whole of it was simply perfect Beach was beautiful well kept as are the grounds Nice well kept rooms food was good no complaints and available 24 hrs at one of the bars . This place also had great restaurants and very friendly accommodating staff plenty of activities and shows This is one resort I would recommend to all and will return to.

Sunscape Bavaro Beach: Lovely, clean resortThe resort

The resort was very clean. They even spent all day raking up the beach. The rooms were very nice. The food was fine. The service in the a la carte restaurants was very slow and the staff on the front desk weren't very friendly or helpful.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Great vacation

Great resort , excelent food ,service and staf. Would go back in a heart beat. Love love love the beach❤️ For a big resort getting around was a breeze with transportation provided. Looked forward to breakfast every morning and couldn’t wait for lunch or supper., food was great

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Beautiful Resort!

Pros: Close to the airport, hotel grounds and beach are well kept on a daily basis very clean, hotel and public areas are bright, very spacious, welcoming atmosphere and has a fantastic vibe in the evenings. Love the amount and variety of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff is friendly across all areas of this resort from check in to night security always saying hello. The entertainment staff seemed fantastic with the kids although we did not have our kids with us. Kids were after the [... read more] staff looking to have more fun. The beach was heaven soft powdery white sand; clean, and it was noticeable how clean compared to the other resorts along Bavaro beach. The ocean is spectacular, no rocks, very little plant life floating in the swim area, near the end of our stay caught site of only 2 small fish that must have snuck in to the swim area. The spa was luxurious, felt truly pampered. This was a perfect vacation for two during a rare occasion without our kids. This is a very large resort with a shuttle/train and golf carts to get around however we enjoyed walking. We stayed from April 25-May 2 2018 resort was comfortably populated weather was around 29 degrees celsius daily and sunny with some rain at night. Con's that may be unfavourable to others: the smell of fuel in the air at the beach lots of boats, tours etc occurring daily out past the swim area. The cobblestone roads throughout the resort are used by train/shutles, golf carts and pedestrians so you do have the smell of fuel at times. Currently there are renovations happening so the sound of construction is around, this should be close to completion. The one thing I was not a fan of at check out is the gentleman discussed a hotel policy that guests need to pay 2.00USD which apparently 100% goes to Unicef. (2 dollars is not much to groan about but the whole thing was questionable to me....... anyway. I would go back no hesitation.

Occidental Punta Cana: Beautiful resort!

This resort was not too big and a short walk to the beach, lobby & restaurants. The grounds were impeccable. The beach area was clean and had nice white sand. It was a pleasure to walk the beach in the morning. The public areas such as the lobby & restaurants were very clean. Our room was close to the beach and the quiet pool. Our cleaning lady was very nice and after leaving her some messages & tip, she would provided us with what we needed & more. The day before we left, she thanked us and ga [... read more]ve us a big hug & kiss. At the lobby , they would come to offer us water or drinks from the bar. We enjoyed eating at the buffet restaurant since it was air conditioned and there was a variety of food. As for the other restaurants, we especially liked the Oriental. The Italian and the Steakhouse were also very good. The main pool had a swim up bar and a whirlpool area. It was very relaxing when it wasn't too busy. One negative point is that it was very hot and we had to find shady or cool areas. There wasn't any palapas at the beach and the shady areas under the palm trees were taken. People would also reserve their chairs at the pools...so in the afternoon we would spend most of our time in our room or on our deck. Another negative point is that the time sharing representatives were relentless and very annoying. We avoided them as much as possible. My niece's wedding day was amazing, well organized and lots of fun. We enjoyed some of the entertainment at the theater but found that the main shows would only start after 9:30 PM which was too late for us. Our last day there was very chaotic since our flight with Air Transat was delayed almost 5 hours. We couldn't get a late check out since there was no availability. Check out was at 12:PM and pick up time for the airport was 6:25 PM. Thankfully, we were able to put our luggage in my niece's room since she was staying for another week. Our arrival to Toronto was very late after 3 AM and we didn't get to our room until 5 AM. Needless to say we were very tired and didn't sleep very much. Overall the trip was pleasant and the resort was very beautiful.

The Level at Melia Caribe: Amazing Resort!

We would highly recommend The Level resort to all our friends. We were treated like royalty and made to feel very special. The adults only section was fantastic and lived up to the videos that we watched before our trip. We had 4 of our own special restaurants, pool, and Beach. Everything was neat and clean and the service was wonderful. Having eight elegant alacarte restaurants to choose from and not needing a reservation was an excellent feature as sometimes you don't know what time you want  [... read more]to eat. Not being tied down to a dinner hour was a nice perk. We are already thinking of booking it again for next year. I would certainly recommend The Level adult only section if you are not traveling with children. Being in the level section means you can go to all parts of the property which is a nice feature. Can't wait to go back! A great bonus was that there was Wi-Fi all over the complex which was very handy and good speed.

Tropical Deluxe Princess: Amazing resort !

Wow, what a nice vacation ! Can't say anything bad about the place. Incredible beach, great for walking in both directions, beautiful resort and superb grounds, with mini-jungle with ducks and peacocks (would be great with children). Very satisfied with the buffet (didn't even go to any a-la-carte restaurants.) And the animation team (especially Victor) does such a great job !They work very hard and it really livens up the place ! Bravo ! And the 3 amazing big pools ! ! ! And we could alw [... read more]ays find a place to sit in the shade. The only little disappointment was with the breeze on the beach, sometimes it could get a little cold when you were still wet from being out of the water. I thought it would have been warmer. But there is plenty of sun to warm you up ! Beautiful all around !

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Great stay at the BP Ambar Green!!!

Everything went extremely well...the BP complex is huge but it was well kept, clean, excellent service and staff! Our requests were all met in advance. Only difference we found this time was that a lot of the drinks were really sweet (sweeter than normal) but managed to find something to enjoy!

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: amazing resort

the hotel was great room was amazing along with the view the food was outstanding. Very friendly staff. the weather was awesome,just an overall awesome place to go you cant go wrong.Great if you just want to relax or do the many activities they have along with a fabulous show every night.

Occidental Caribe: Magical pace

Beautiful place.Amazing green grounds. Great pools. Variety of restaurants. Good food. Great beach. Clean place. Enjoyed my stay very much.I would like to go back in the near future.The only thing I would change would be the entertainment,a little bit repetitive.why not use the pools for a ballet in the water.,or use the trampoline.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Resort was breath taking

For starters, really happy booked through tripcentral, Iryna Koliuda was great from beginning to end, and so was Air transit..Hotel was truly amazing. Sent us a us complimentary breakfast to our room, for anniversary with bottle rum, later in the week was my wifes birthday, they sent up a cake and another bottle of rum lol..Hotel has truly everything and staff was friendly and helpful. Restaurants had above average food, Disco cool, and casino is nice..Loved the view from our balcony, palm tree' [... read more]s and ocean, just beautiful. You can walk for miles on the white beach and they clean and rake it daily. Glad i stayed on adult side NO Kids.Daily and nightly entertainment.. Was best vacation ever so far...Definately recommend the Barcelo Bavaro beach resort, Tripcentral/Air transit package

Occidental Punta Cana: AMAZINGGGGGG

I just got back from a friend's wedding, i wish we could party longer but they ended the dance at 10pm. The dinners were all so good all week ; the party pool was amazing and i would 100% come back to this location.

Grand Bavaro Princess: Great Resort

Dining was excellent with many alternative restaurants Beach was outstanding Grounds were groomed beautifully Rooms were all well laid out Pool was large with popular swim up bar Very pleasant staff very helpful Our room had a small leak from bathroom ceiling which was reported before leaving

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Excellent Resort

We’ve been to Punta Cana numerous times because it’s our preferred vacation destination. We never stay at the same resort but will be making an exception from now on. The Majestic Colonial tics all the boxes for us. The beach is beautiful, food is very good, everything is kept clean even spotless (thank you Clara for taking such good care of our room) and the service is exceptional. There is no rush in the morning to claim a spot on the beach or poolside which is wonderful. We stayed in [... read more] the Colonial Club section which is adults only (April 27th to May 2nd). Our butler Joan was friendly, helpful and very professional. We are not the type of people to select a resort because it comes with butler service. In fact, this is the first time we’ve experienced this service. Joan greeted us upon arrival, showed us around the resort, and made sure we were satisfied with our room. He checked-in on us daily and was always ready to assist with whatever we needed. He even brought my friend a birthday cake on her special day. The staff is the best I’ve ever seen. Everyone we encountered had a big smile, always greeted us with Hola, were very attentive and professional. This shows great leadership and vision on the part of Management. Bravo! PS I read the reviews before booking and my advice is - believe the good reviews and discard the bad ones. Obviously, there are people who won’t be pleased with any resort. I would highly recommend this resort to family and friends. We plan to return in March 2019. No more resort hopping for us, we finally found our home away from home.

Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Could have been better

This resort gives the impression in the lobby that it will be amazing until you’re brought to your room. First impression of the room was that it wasn’t as cold as it should be because the A/C didn’t work properly. Hotel maintenance was called and arrived promptly to our room but had no knowledge on how to repair the problem. We unfortunately stayed in the room. In all three of our groups rooms the towels were not refreshed even when the dirty towels were left on the bathroom floor, this m [... read more]ade showering extremely difficult. Several times we went to the buffet and waited for water or had to ask for a glass of water as well as cutlery. These simple tasks made eating sometimes an unenjoyable event. The pool was alright and could have also had more attention to cleanliness and upkeep. It was vacuumed every morning but the furniture surrounding the area was never cleaned neither was the pool deck which could be very discusting with drinks being spilled and at one point what looked to be vomit in the water. Poolbar was extremely busy which is a great thing for the atmosphere but it was under staffed and made getting a drink very frustrating waiting several minutes almost everytime with the Spanish speaking guests getting obvious preferencial treatment. There are several fairly easy fixes to making this resort a great place to vacation but several improvements need to be made.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Great resort

Adults only resort was definitely the right choice for us. Pool/ beach buffet and lobby were all very close proximity together. So was not a lot of walking. We could take the trolly over to the bigger portion of the attached resort if we wanted to go to the casino or other restaurants. So our resort was nice and quiet. The Food was great. Everything was very clean. The rooms were a little dated but clean.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Awesome

Everythig was great, would go back for sure, everyone was so nice, things were so clean, pool and beach was perfect, food was fantastic, wish i coyld have stayed for two weeks, next time we just might.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Good resort, very pretty

We have traveled south for many years and this was one of the better resports. We did not have VIP ststus, I dont need anyone to wait on me. However when we got there we were not happy with our room and asked to me changed mainly because all of our family were in the 16 block, the manger a very nice man, said come back tomorrow at three and we will move you. True to his word we were changed and in our room by 1630. Not too bad we were in the up graded area with pool view. The restruants , the [... read more] Brazian , the japneese terrix Grill and the Steak house were alll very good. Two our of 13 did get sick for a few days but you take your chances when you go. The beach party was a lot of fun so was the entertainment. I would go back to this resort but never late April, way to hot, lol but we did have sun and fun alll week thanks to Air Canada and Heather at Trip Central all were great.
