Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Lovely vacation

The resort is so beautiful. The food was amazing. The pools were great and location at the beach was ideal. The staff are exemplary always friendly and helpful especially the staff in the buffet, the bartenders and housekeeping. We travelled as large group (10) the resort easily catered to the needs of all in our party. Including moving rooms for a member of our group with limited mobility so he didn’t have to climb 6 flights of stairs as there are no elevators. We purchased a deep sea f [... read more]ishing excursion at the resort that was a disaster. After my husband and son being sick for an hour (along with most others on the excursion) we asked the captain to turn around. We felt like we should have been told about the rough seas and given options to go on another day. It was very expensive for 4 of us to be on a hellish boat ride and not even fish. Some things were harder to navigate- kids club was impossible to find (we never did) as the front desk staff was not able or willing to help us. The evening entertainment is very late so was not family friendly. The al a carte reservation had long lines and available tables were not at times that our family could all enjoy. Guests services desk was limited- when there was someone there they were very helpful but if no one was there then you could not get any help and the front desk would refer you to guest services.

Dreams Flora Resort and Spa: Awesome Family Experience

This hotel offered everything we could have asked for - a beautiful beach and pool amidst meticulously landscaped property. Dining offered many options. Customer service was exemplary. Our travel representative Robyn Murray provided excellent guidance as we explored our destination options. Thank you!!!

Riu Palace Bavaro: February birthday visit

We had an excellent time at the Riu Palace Bavaro. Our biggest concern is that they do not have a designated smoking area. We are non smokers and to see people smoking and vaping in the swim-up bar was disgusting to us. Also upsetting is seeing children in the swim-up bar that is clearly for adults. The Riu hotels we have visited in Panama and Costa Rica had clearly marked designated smoking areas and we would like to see that at the Riu Palace Bavaro. Those hotels do not allow children in the s [... read more]wim-bars either. The disco is much too loud and can be clearly heard from the surrounding blocks of rooms. Needs to be turned down. We would highly recommend this hotel to friends, but we have already told them about the smoking issue and loud music.

Punta Cana Princess: Excellent resort for adult

The only small thing is that the pool music base was too hight and close at 12pm. Food was good but enought sea food. Services were excellent. Room very clean. No mouskito. No sand fly. Excellent customer services. Excellent cleaning lady services

Playabachata Hotel: Did the trick

Food, staff, accommodation, beach, scenery were all great. Rules were not enforced. Such as, no smoking in the lobby area, or reserving chairs around the pool, even though there were signs, no rules were enforced, which created unnecessary tension between guests.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Unfortunately first and last visit

The hotel and grounds are beautiful. Well maintained and clean. The rooms in the 7000 block are modern and well kept and staff friendly, courteous and helpful. We were greeted warmly upon arrival with a smile and cold drink which helped to temper our disappointment that not only were we unable to be in adjoining rooms from our daughter and her family, neither were we even close to one another. In fact, we were across the jungle pool from each other. We made the best of it and got more than our s [... read more]teps in. The biggest disappointment the FOOD. Each person in our family was sick from some form of food item over the 7 days there. Our 3 year old granddaughter needing to see the doctor on site who was excellent. Thankfully she was feeling better before we had to fly home and the rest of us too. Been to DR 5 times and never been ill until here. We were amazed how quick the concierge and security came to the clinic when they found 3 of our family were ill. We loved the idea of no reservations at the restaurants and had no issues getting a table for 6 while we were all still okay, then we had to solely rely on buffet which we found underwhelming. Repetition of same foods each night. Found hygiene an issue with one set of tongs for several food items in one section of the buffet. The pools are lovely, clean fun. The best resort ever to find loungers by pool or shade at the beach. Beach is clean and palm trees make great shade to get out of the sun. Lots of entertainment for everyone. Great family atmosphere. Would I go back? Sadly no.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Beautiful, kid friendly resort. But not the best food

We spent 7 nights at the Dreams Onyx Resort. The layout and up keep of the property was beautiful. Most of the staff were pleasant and kind. Special attention to the amazing - Junior at the lobby, Dani at the beach and the housekeeping staff. Unfortunately at different times of our trip all of our family was severely sick, which really put a damper on the trip. Even so, we had to take our daughter to the clinic on site. Dr. Vanessa Del Rosario (with Clinic Assist) truly put us at ease and was [... read more] amazing with her. The resort came in to check on her too. But we worry it was the quality of food, since we all got six throughout the trip. I’ve been to many all inclusive resorts, several in Punta Cana. This one by far is the most beautiful- hotel room, layout, etc. But one of the lowest quality as far as food. We unfortunately didn’t get to experience all of the dinner options since we all got sick. We tried to play it safe with the buffet, but still was underwhelming. Lots of events each day for kids, which was great! Gift shop was cute, lots of supplies/meds too.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Lovely Resort

We have been coming to this resort twice a year since 2018. It’s obvious we love the resort. The pool area and hallway areas are in need of some upgrades. The tiles in the hallways are old and many are discoloured. The outdoor walkways need a little repair to make them safer as they aren’t level and I have seen people with wheelchairs having challenges getting over when unlevel; just need some cement to join the unlevel walkways. Food and service is excellent and cooks and wait staff are ext [... read more]remely helpful and friendly. We are not fans of the à la carte restaurants and do not attend them anymore. The beach snack bar and the buffet restaurants are wonderful. Rooms are ok but need some brightening up. Bathroom showers tend to flood unless you take out the strainer plug entirely. Minibars need to include diet options for those that are diabetic or just cannot drink sugar drinks. They used to have them but our last 2 visits only had full sugar drinks and beer. We will return again in December as we have been advised that they are closing for 2 months to do major repairs and upgrades.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Great resort

We had a great time the resort was wonderful. Call outs to Luis at the front desk, got us the best room ever, Marianeili at the beach bar, such a kind amazing person, Nayeli at the beach bar, such a sweetheart. Patricia at the main lobby bar, awesome waitress, Fernando at the Don Pablo, great waiter. All of the cleaning staff, our room was spotless and we got turndown service every night. Overall excellent experience, excellent staff.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Love this Resort

This is the 3rd time going to Esmeralda and this past experience was by far the best vacation yet. Hyatt has partnered with them so there were many improvements The food is 10/10, the rooms have been upgraded and modern especially the washrooms our room was spacious and comfortable. The only negative is they always ran out of toilet paper at the beach washrooms so bring your own wipes because when you tell them it needs restocking they don't understand or speak English well so you leave frus [... read more]trated.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Great resort!

Check-in: fast, easy. We had a request for particular building due to a mobility issue and Jedulka was terrific in helping to accommodate. Rooms: excellent. Large, clean and very good bathrooms. Dining: ala carts were excellent although booking was a little difficult. But food was great. Buffets were very good too. Beaches: excellent. Lots of palapas...great sand, no need for water shoes. Some seaweed but beaches were racked daily. Customer service: Exceptional! Had a leak over our  [... read more]toilet, customer service came same day, fixed and followed to confirm there were no issues. Got locked out of mini safe, customer service showed up within 15 minutes. One day our room wasn't made up, we called later in the day and they showed up within 20 minutes. Pools: always chairs available. Music was a little repetitive but we were at the beach most of the time. Unfortunately pools were closed at 6pm daily for cleaning, which seemed a little early but the pols were definitely clean and in great shape. Value: terrific value for price. We'll definitely be back!!

Ocean Blue and Sand: Second round was even better

We went to Ocean Blue and Sun last year with the family in the privilege area and it was really good which is why we came back this year. I don’t know if they forgot about us last year or if they’ve added more options to the privilege club because this year we got a Nescafé coffee maker and a regular coffee maker, a beach bag and a toiletry bag with essentials. Harry our butler also helped make this year’s stay even better. Carlos at the beach bar is always a pleasure and Argentina at the buf [... read more]fet made dinner a fun party. The food is always good in all restaurants. Best Mamajuana in the sports bar! The beach is fantastic. Float in the ocean with the gentle waves or walk for an hour in either direction. The sand is perfect. Everything is clean, everywhere. The grounds are maintained immaculately. Super comfy beds and pillows. Like every other resort, they have signs saying no reserving the beach chairs, but everyone does. One morning at 5 AM. We went to check the cabanas and most were all reserved. All the bars were good and the Michael Jackson show was pretty impressive. We really like the piano bar.

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: My 3rd visit

Still enjoyed my 3rd visit to the property. Food was excellent. Accommodation predictable and good. Golf course terrific! Staff very friendly as always. Weird shower design. There is nothing to stop the water on the shower floor going into the rest of the bathroom. Had to use towels to dam up the water. It was the same in 2009. Nothing changed?

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Senator

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Senator Hotel ! The hotel was clean! I enjoyed the fact that this Hotel resort wasn't too large! It wasn't crowded. The food was great! No long line ups! Thoroughly enjoyed the restaurants on site! The staff was very friendly. The entertainment near the pool was loud, and not always appreciated. We would escape to the beach. I would much rather have music playing..and have games away from pool.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Resort was good

The resort was good. The breakfast was the best meal of the day. Made you eggs to order. The food could be better. I would recommend this resort and would return for a future vacation. Good atmosphere and staff would amazing.

Live Aqua Beach Resort Punta Cana: Beautiful Resort

Enjoyed this hotel very much. Excellent food, comfortable rooms, beautiful beach with lots of beach chairs available. Both party pool and quiet pools available. Staff always polite and very helpful. Enjoy!

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: So So Resort

Beach and Pool very nice plus Food was good. The power in our room which was an ocean front constantly would flick off then on then off no hot water always just warm. No face cloths no beer in the room and no service at the pool .

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: EL BESO is the way to go!

Very clean, great food (and fresh), great people, friendly employees. Peaceful on El Beso adult only side. Big resort, lots to do and see. Bring crocs to wear, lots of walking! The train helps, and is very convenient. Speak Spanish if you can, most employees don't know much English. Beautiful views everywhere. I had a blast!
