Sensatori Resort Punta Cana: Most relaxing and indulgent vacation

Having gotten married at the Sensatori in Mexico, we decided to try the Sensatori in Punta Cana as well. Both resorts are fabulous. The service is amazing for both Sensatori resorts. We booked the honeymoon suite and were not disappointed. It was worth every penny. We were upgraded to the Premium section upon arrival. The suite was beautiful, the bedroom walls opened up to the ocean view. The food at every restaurant was so good. We enjoyed K23 for the 8 course meal experience. W [... read more]ok Wok is Asian fusion and the food was delicious (I'm Asian, trust me in this one). The buffets were delicious, I never got bored going there. Everything was so fresh. If you're a foodie, you won't be disappointed with this Gourmet - Inclusive resort. The beach was well kept and there were always chairs to be found. Book the private cabanas early though, those are in high demand. The loungers around the infinity pools get taken by early morning and don't free up until after lunch each day. The premium section and adults only sections are quiet and always have loungers though. Even though this resort shares property with the Nikelodeon resort, there are so many places to go for adults only if kids aren't your vacation preference. As for entertainment, I really enjoyed the live performances all night every where we turned. The resort hires very talented artists from around the world.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Awesome vacation

This resort is amazing ... very big and very busy but very well maintained. The grounds are immaculate, the rooms and bathrooms everywhere are very clean, the best I've ever experienced . The staff are wonderful, very helpful and pleasant. The flight and ground transfer were seamless. A big thumbs up to Tripcentral and Shauna Langille ... thank you for a wonderful vacation. The only downside was the bugs, bring your bug spray and use it, my sister was severely bitten and reacted. However our tri [... read more]p was still amazing

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Amazing, as usual.

Second trip back to this gem. My husband and I vacationed at the Ambar Green two years ago for our honeymoon; it’s better than we both remembered. Excellent food and service! Impeccably clean and great entertainment. We’ll definitely be returning in the future.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Wonderful Vacation

My wife and I had an amazing time at the Luxury Grand Bahia Príncipe Esmeralda.From the time we arrived until we left the staff went out of their way to make sure we had a great time.Norielis in Guest services had all our A La Carte restaurants booked for us and filled our request for the building we wanted to stay in.Building 95 was close to everything,the quiet pool,the small buffet ,the lobby and the beach.She even had a bottle of champagne and a fruit bowl sent to our room to help my wife c [... read more]elebrate her recent retirement.The food is really good but one of the A La Carte Restaurants over cooked the fish and the service was extremely slow.Other than that everything else was great.I definitely would recommend this hotel to all my friends and family.Truly an enjoyable experience.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Tidy resort

Hotel and grounds well groomed and tidy. Polite and timely services. Food and beverages were handy and plentiful. All the employees including the grounds keepers to the people who cleaned the streets were very polite and friendly.

Sunscape Bavaro Beach: Wonderful vacation

Had a great vacation at this resort. We travelled with 4 families. Kids ages ranged from 12 -17 yrs. the resort always had activities going on for the teenagers. They all had so much fun. The staff were all so kind and helpful. The entertainment staff were great and a lot of fun. The food was really good and plentiful. The resort was immaculate and staff were constantly cleaning. Would highly recommend this resort for families

Sunscape Bavaro Beach: Fantastic stay

Resort was fantastic. Staff were great and very helpful and friendly. Food was good. Lots for the kids to do. Activities going on all day long at the beach and the pool. Lots of great entertainment. Very clean and well kept.

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Great vacation

My daughter and I stayed for 8 nights. We had a wonderful time. Staff was really nice, room very clean. We stayed in the royal section and really took advantage of the restaurants. Tasted most of the items on the menu as we shared a lot of dishes. It is a very quiet spot and you just have to cross over to the other section for the "action". Weather wasn't the greatest but we made use of all the nooks around the resort.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Great resort.

We loved the resort. Making dinner reservations was the only issue we had. It's very hard to get into Zen and Hunter. The grounds, beach and facilities were amazing. Staff are amazing and very helpful.

Royalton Punta Cana Resort: Great resort!

The resort was very clean, the food was good and most of the staff were great to deal with. The beach and pools are beautiful and all of the facilities are top notch. Personally didn't like the various class systems they have. ie. Royalton, Diamond club, Hideaway and Memories. They are trying to capture too broad a market. We felt bad for the Memories guests that were expected to walk down a pathway at Royalton to access the beach and not stop or use the facilities along the way. We heard  [... read more]complaints from a few of them. The Hideaway area didn't gel with the theme of a family resort. An 18+ resort should be a separate resort. Perhaps a quiet/adult only pool area would make more sense. We were going to upgrade to the Diamond club but were told it had been oversold and wasn't worth the extra money unless we planned on drinking an extreme amount of high end alcohol. Didn't like having only the one draft beer choice. Would like more options including some canned/bottled beer options. The other tropical types of drinks (pina coladas, daiquiris etc.) were from concentrate and not very good quality. Straight mixed drinks were a better choice. We have 3 children and they enjoyed the splash park at Memories. We also visited the Royalton Bavaro located down the beach. It is brand new and even nicer than the Royalton PC. The kids loved the lazy river and surfing machine. We would stay there next time but would also stay back to RPC if Bavaro not available.

Riu Palace Macao: Fantastic Resort - Will return

This is by far the nicest hotel we've been to. This is our second time at Punta Cana and our second "adults only" resort. The quality and selection of the food was fantastic. Even the picky eaters would never go hungry. The service at both the pool bar and the lobby bar was first class. The wait staff was very attentive and quick to bring your drinks. The grounds were impeccable and there was always cleaning staff continually making sure everything was spotless. The beach was beautiful with  [... read more]lots of lounge chairs and palm trees for shade. The rooms were well kept and the turn down service at night was a lovely touch. We got the free bus that took us to a cigar factory, a chocolate factory and a very large souvenir store. The only negative was when we booked our catamaran/snorkel tour on the plane. It was cheaper that buying it at the resort, but it was pretty lame for the price. Of course there will always be picky people who aren't happy unless they are complaining about even the smallest things, but to those people, perhaps you need to stay home. This is after all a third world country, so get over yourself. We are seasoned travelers and consider this a 5 star all the way and we will return for sure.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Fun spot

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The staff really adds to the experience. The buffets were not that great but the à la carte restaurant were good but you had to wait a minimum of 20 minutes. And some nights up to an hour or more.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Excellent hard working people

Everyone booking needs to keep in mind nothing is ever perfect. The people make the place and as a 2nd visit this resort is great for families and the staff do try there b st to ensure a good time is had

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Nice,quiet and very clean resort

This resort was very nice “adults only” which made it a nice quiet resort. The grounds were maintained beautifully, the pools and pool areas were always cleaned. The bar service around the pool area was perfect and this kept the area free of glasses as they were continually coming around to pick them up. This is a very quiet resort so if you are looking for a relaxing resort this is for you. All of the Restaurants were fabulous at the Royal and not having to make a reservation was a bonus.  [... read more]The Japanese restaurant at the adjoining Catalonia was not worth the wait. The food was horrible and very salty. There were a few days without hot water in the shower but regardless the rooms were great. The staff were amazing at the restaurants and bars. Overall good vacation.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Beautiful paradise

Pools were well maintained.Entertainment' was every night which fun. Not sure on the shows ,didn't see any. Was happy with lobby entertainment. All in all it was a great vacation.

Riu Republica: SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!

This was our second year at the RIU Republica and again, we were blown away. The place is simply outstanding on ALL fronts. The hotel and the entire resort are super clean, the rooms are nice and big with a nice balcony and the bed is very comfy. ALL the staff is so, so friendly and welcoming - and the service is incredible. And the food - OMG!!! Everything is delicious, there is a lot of variety at the buffet, which is very nicely presented. The "a la carte" restaurants are also quite nice a [... read more]nd there are several different interesting selections to choose from - and no reservations needed. And the beach - there are no words to describe how beautiful it is. We've been to several resorts on Bavaro Beach and every year, it just takes our breath away. All in all, it was a fantastic holiday again this year and we highly recommend this resort. We may even go back for a third year in 2019! Thank you Jennifer (Trip Central - St-Laurent) for all your help. (NOTE - I am rating this as "very good" (below) but "outstanding" would be a better rating.

Now Garden Punta Cana: A great place to relax.

The ground were well maintained, the rooms were clean, the dining was very good. The Lobby staff were excellent. Check in and check out was a breeze. The Lobby Bar and staff were the best. the pool was always clean, and a fun place to meet new people.

Sunscape Bavaro Beach: Good resort

The hotel staff are amazing nothing was to big for them to help! I didn’t like the Barrier on the beach but understand why they are there. I’m a little upset as soon as we got there we were approached to buy into a travel plan which took up so much time we did by it so if anyone else got it let me know how it is.have been at nicer resorts but the staff is the best I’ve ever felt with

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: 5 star resort

The rooms and room service (included) were second-to-none. The restaurants were varied and delicious so the food did not get boring. The resort is quite big so a shuttle is required to get around which we found hindered our spontaneity somewhat. Golf course near by was awesome. Carts are required so budget $60US per person for each round.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Beautiful Resort

This resort is very clean, the rooms are a good size and very nice. House keeping service was very good. The Japanese restaurant was my favourite but the food was good at all the restaurants. The beach was beautiful! I would highly recommend this resort.
