Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort: Tropical Oaisis

My boyfriend and I stayed at Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort the week of January 20 for my Birthday Celebration. The hotel was very clean and beautiful. We were in building 5, it was up to date and really clean. The staff was amazing and friendly. They treated me extra special on my Birthday. The food was delicious and flavorful. The drinks were plentiful and strong. There were Peacocks among the beautiful picturesque views. The property is an oasis away from the winter blues. The Ying & Yan [... read more]g Spa was delightful. The staff were professional, and the massages and facial treatments were great. I would recommend their services. Their smoothies were delicious. The gym was clean and had nice equipment. The sauna and jacuzzi were really clean and relaxing. The VIP Beach was amazing. The hammock cabanas were our favorite. As we could relax by the water and sway to the ocean breeze. The waitstaff at the beach were wonderful with our drinks and food orders. The entertainment staff did a great job keeping us entertained. The Michael Jackson tribute show was well done (so talented). There was something scheduled every day aerobics, bingo, karaoke, volleyball, water sports etc. There was never a dull day. We took the tour to see the VIP Member offer. I have been to many other tours at different resorts as I travel every year for my birthday, but this tour was my favorite. We will be back to definitely purchase the membership. We read a lot of the comments before booking and could understand some complaints, nothing to ruin your vacation. Some visitors are rude and others are nice (keep that in mind). We had no complaints. We loved our stay. We tipped generously when we were treated nicely. They appreciate the little things and will remember you. We would definitely recommend this Hotel.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Awesome resort

Absolutely loved our stay at majestic colonial! The rooms were beautiful, and staff was super friendly. There were a lot of different activities during the day, and the shows at night were awesome! Overall the resort was well maintained. Would stay here again!

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Relaxing Week

BlueBay is a small, older resort on a beautiful beach. For the size they offer a good variety of amenities. Rooms were clean. We had two beds pushed together as a ‘king’. No sitting area and one very little drawer for clothes, in the closet. Bathroom clean, new, but again, everything very small. Buffet had good selection, booked the 3 Ala Carte. Jade was our favourite. Staff consistently very warm and attentive. Several knew our names within the first day. Loved dancing to DJ musi [... read more]c at the beach restaurant. Construction noise (no fault of BB) annoying. Hard to hear the ocean waves over the sound of builders. Someone posted pics of a dirty/littered beach. Not sure where they were taken, the BB beach was cleaned daily of seaweed and debris. We loved walking along the ocean beach through the Playa Doradas complex and felt very safe. Vendors on the beach were respectful of a ‘No Gracias’, but we often had interesting conversations with the regulars. I had an amazing hour-long massage on the beach from Cecelia, for a third of the spa cost. Overall, relaxing week in the sun and sand: just what we wanted.

Caribe Deluxe Princess: Great resort to spend a week

We were here January 17-24 2020. Resort grounds were immaculate and beautiful. Creates a good feeling with the wildlife around you. Food was average but with upgrades they are doing this year to the resort, hopefully food will improve as well. Rooms were dated in decor but satisfactory. Again, with the Reno’s they are doing this year, rooms will no doubt be fantastic. Beach was absolutely beautiful and no shells or stones anywhere that we could see. Water was beautiful, warm but a lit [... read more]tle wavy at times. Venders were on beach but didn’t bother us unless you engaged. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Overall, we would definitely go back to this resort with out a problem. We would recommend this resort to couples or families without hesitation. Thanks for a fantastic week away, Club Caribe Princess!

Blau Natura Park Resort: Amazing resort

It was a fantastic resort. The grounds are amazingly beautiful, the beach wow it has been a while since I had so much fun. I recommend the place. Peaceful and pretty. They food, rooms and the. Service was fantastic. We had a great experience I am going back. The people were so friendly.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Great place, but.......

We had the 'superior' room and it was so lacking in storage. There was a small three drawer dresser in the closet that was maybe 24" high. No dresser in the room, nowhere to sit, no couch and worst of all two double beds in some sort of large bed joke. Even a Queen sized bed would have been ok but the two beds pushed together, fully separate sheets and blankets was a joke. Bathroom had virtually no counter space. ON a positive note, the food, grounds, pool, staff and virtually every aspect  [... read more]was great except for the room itself which was like 1 out of 10.

Viva V Samana by Wyndham: Wonderful vacation

The resort is beautiful, clean and delicious. Well kept grounds, clean rooms, scrumptious restaurants. Never waited for food or drinks. Amazing staff. Now the bad. When we arrived at airport we had to fill out another declaration from. Mass confusion. It is 9pm we are hot and tired. The print on the forms are so small. Why couldn't we do it on plane ? We waited over an hour for everyone to complete these forms so we could shuttle to our hotel. And there were no drinks. Not a welcome cock [... read more]tail, not beer for sale at airport or on bus, first time for us, no beer ! Not even water to drink! When we arrived at hotel there was 1 sandwich in room. Only sandwiches available from room service. By now it is 11pm. We are at only bar open, no snack bar !the Disvo has ear splitting music and of course no one in it. We grabbed drinks and sat in lobby. Next problem. SMOKING. It is not enforced. Smoking with non smoking sections. Saw people sit at non smoking tables and smoke. Some took signs off table. Staff would do nothing about it. My last complaint is the bar , disco closes whenever.....we were seated in front of glass door to Disco, playing cards, drinking, and tipping. Twice she closed bar an hour early. Didn't ask if we would like another drink, of course ! And didn't tell us she was closing. We would have been quite happy with another drink or 2. It was only midnight and all inclusive. The Activities were great. Sometimes you had to remind them but they were willing g to play all the games and we had a great time !

Excellence Punta Cana: Relaxing Resort

Very clean resort. Grounds were meticulously maintained. Some signs of wear and tear (tiles missing in pool) but overall, okay. Bar, porters and room service were outstanding. Restaurant staff ranged from indifferent to very good. Buffet is limited compared with other similarly rated resorts we've been to. Entertainment was okay but lacked variety (dance moves performed to different music themes gets repetitive). Don't get us wrong, we enjoyed the resort.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Great time!

We had an awesome time at Majestic Colonial thanks to O’Neil Graham for once again exceptional service. The resort welcomed us back for a second time with banners on the door and close to pool and ocean. We had a wonderful time with exceptional service. Staff was very attentive to everything. I can’t wait to go back.

Grand Memories Punta Cana: Had a few issues

Everything was good. I felt they could’ve replenished more at the Buffet. Ran out of food, fast and they took awhile to replenish. Bar fridge in the room I needed to call to fill the fridge pretty much every day. I know it’s a kids friendly resort, however some kids were really screaming at the quiet pool and I had to ask him to stop screaming!!!

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Amazing resort

Wonderful grounds, very nice kept, clean and stuff very profesional, and helpful. Food excellent, very fresh and well prepared. specially fruits always fresh and plenty to chose from. Restaurants re very good specially the brasilian one was amazing.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Great Resort

We had a group of 10 of us go down. We were able to have rooms close together and group reservations as well. The rooms were clean and resort grounds tidy as well. Staff are very polite. Would recommend

Casa Marina Reef Resort: Good value for the money

I must start off by saying that our requests...which had been sent in with our purchase of this trip were completely ignored. We specifically requested a ground floor room as far away from the main pool area as possible. We were put on the 3rd floor, right near the pool! They OVERBOOKED the resort by 30 rooms! Thankfully, they own a second resort and they got us a ground floor room the next day after talking with Franklin. The food was excellent at the buffet restaurant and varied. I [... read more] would not recommend eating at the Mexican restaurant....it was not worth it. The Italian and the Seafood restaurants were very good. The staff was amazing! They were extremely helpful and courteous! Several things that we were very frustrated with: Due to the extreme weather, the beaches were closed most of this trip. As a result, there were no lounges to be had. People save them overnight and you cannot get anywhere to sit during these types of days. We also were not able to get dry beach towels for the first 3 days...also due to people leaving them out overnight on the lounges....and then changing these in for the dry ones. Also, the fact that they want to CHARGE you for the internet is absurd. You do not even get it in the lobby....and the price they want to charge for it is Rediculous! If you need data and internet, take you cell phone and walk down the street to the grocery store or to the cell phone store for a sim card.....cost about $12. And lasts more than a week! (These are the reasons why I would not return again.) The staff make this place worth staying at. The rooms are nice. Being so close the town is a bonus if you like to explore.

Excellence Punta Cana: Amazing resort

The Resort was great .food was good stuff was awesome. The stuff made you feel at home. The grounds were very clean. Never had a hard time to get chairs at the pool or the beach never had one complain about the resort.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Fantastic vacation

We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation. The resort is well maintained. The rooms could use refreshing, but were comfortable. The food was wonderful with plenty of options. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend to friends.

Royalton Punta Cana Resort: Beautiful resort!

Absolutely beautiful grounds and beach area! Public areas were impeccably clean and well maintained, including the pool area washrooms which have been less than clean at some other resorts I've seen in the Dominican. I went there with my two sons (18 and 12 years old) and we made use of the pools, arcade, tennis courts and beach area. The beach was stunning and very clean...life guards and security were evident all along the beach and had no difficulty with beach vendors (as I have had in the pa [... read more]st) There is also a water park, and a lazy river at the sister resort Royalton Bavaro which was a ton of fun for all of us! Aqua aerobics and water Zumba were a blast! Food was generally pretty good at the Buffet...always a lot of choice for veggies and fruits...breakfast omelets were excellent and made-to-order. Visited the Italian Restaurant as well as Jade (Asian) and the Steak House which was fabulous! The staff were all friendly and helpful...only complaint in that regard would be the pressure to buy a vacation package...had to say NO 4-5 times before they got the message. Housekeeping staff do an amazing job and were easy to locate if you needed anything. Overall a great experience!

Grand Memories Punta Cana: excellant resort for relaxing and entertainment

easy to get around...staff very helpful...grounds upkeep is very good...rooms were done up very nice...would recommend this to resort to any of my friends...plenty for food areas to explore...the train runs all the time and takes you to the beach in no time...

Riu Republica: Amazing again!!!

This was our 2nd time at the Rui Republica in Punta Cana. We went last year as well and it didn't dissappoint. We had an amazing time. The food, service, pools and entertainment were all top notch. We were even happy to see that they entertainment was complelty different than last year. We would highly recomend this resort to anyone that is looking to experience the best of Punta Cana.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Bahia Principe La Romana

Great Staff, enjoyed the food and location! Smaller than most Bahia resorts, just the way I like it. Most of the large hotels fail to focus on your needs but NOT here, guest service was outstanding. Currently the JR suites are very dated (hot water issue) however they are in the process of upgrading them. Never the less we plan on returning in September 2020.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Beautiful facility

Extremely clean. Superior food. I loved the variety of restaurants to choose from each day. Lots of activities and good entertainment. We especially loved the piano bar. The beach was excellent except for the fact of the erosion which sometimes made it difficult for us to actually get down to the water. However not very far away there was better accessibility.
