Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Amazing resort

This was an amazing resort. We have been here before but stayed in a different area. The grounds are well kept, our room was great, we had very good service, food was just too much and the food was excellent, everyone was very polite. We would definitely recommend this resort to everyone.

Iberostar Waves Dominicana: good resort, excellent beach

This was our second year in a row at the Dominca, 9th time with Iberostar. Upon arrival we asked to change rooms as our room was located facing a thatch roof to one of the restaurants and was extremely noisy. Reception told us they would be move us the next day as no rooms were available at the time. The next day, the room we were to be moved to had a problem with the air conditioner, and we had to wait another day. They did offer to move us to a junior suite, with double beds which was no [... read more]t acceptable to us. They did move us to a nicer room on day two. The frustrating part was it took a fair amount of time spent in the lobby with reception instead of enjoying the weather and sitting at the beach. The one comment I did not appreciate from the front desk staff was them saying 'you get what you pay for' in reference to the first room we were put in. I thought all the standard rooms were the same price when we booked with trip central. The food was what we expected, maybe even a bit better overall than last year. The beach is the main attraction for us and this resort has ample beach front. White sand, no rocks and you can walk for miles. We found that the staff sometimes went too far with the afternoon activities at the pool and basically would force people into participating in their games, going as far as restraining people who wanted to opt out. I know my wife didn't appreciate being forced into their bikini contest. The nightly entertainment is typical for a resort, some nights decent, some nights no so good. We did find that the staff were less attentive this year than last year, and overall are not as friendly as staff in other countries in the Caribbean. The grounds are fairly well kept. We will return to Punta Cana, but might try one of the other Iberostar resorts the next time around.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Good resort

Overall I found this hotel to be great for the price. Geared towards families more so if you’re looking for nightlife this isn’t the place. Service was great. Food was ok. Not great. Pools great and rooms alright. Not fancy, damp but clean.

Excellence Punta Cana: Save the best til last

When you're the last one off the bus from the airport you're on edge wondering.... but from the minute you step foot into the lobby you are greeted with champagne and a cooling towel that is just the beginning....the staff is happy and it shows.. anything you ask for they truly try their best to get it for you. The entertainment staff treat you like family.....Marco is #1... The Oregano was our fab breakfast spot.....other than the buffet.... Aroma cafe was our daily afternoon treat...the spa w [... read more]as totally amazing...the hydro therapy a must do......just avoid the parrot enrout e...they attack buttons and all jewellery ....take pictures from a distance. All the restaurants are superb...no reservations required..... very short wait times well worth the wait This being our first adults-only all inclusive Resort we would definitely recommend the Excellence group of hotels We went at high humidity season I would recommend taking a damprid but they do offer dehumidifiers for the room if it is too damp for you... the resort has been newly renovated and all rooms are very spacious and modern.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Always a great place

Place is well kept grounds look great, nice pool areas, food is good I am meat and potatoes so I was happy but lots of different foods. Beds were good a few little things like sticky taps, paper holder broken never fixed they just keep putting paper without reporting but going back again before end of the year

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Great vacations

Everything was ok, the dining options were excellent, the facilities as well. We had a great experience. I recognize the high quality of the service, but also that there were no personal interaction. I felt I was one of hundreds, thousands of visitors, a number. Thats why I will not probably go back. Also the prices during March are too high. The check in for our return flight was very unpleasant, the waiting was too much. We arrived at 11.10 and it was 12.40 and we weren't even passed migra [... read more]tion. Too much stress , the flight was at 1.30 pm, but it was delayed.

The Level at Melia Caribe: Amazing resort! Amazing time with the love of my life!

The beaches and pools were second to none! Amazing! The water was not cold, and the staff were always near to serve and help us. We had room service 3 times, was fast and flavourful! The dinners were tasty with my favorite being the Japanese Restaurant! The chef cooks right in front of you. The golf course across the street was great and hotel offered discounts and free shuttle! Weather was hot all sun and 28 degrees. Perfect, not too hot! The hotel put on a party for St. Patricks da [... read more]y and had a foam party! The hotel offered fruit sticks and mini snacks around the pool area which was nice! There is live music in the main lobby every night, people were dancing! The lobby bar was our favourite! Overall I would go back and am planning on it!

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Amazing Resort & Beautiful Beach

Very nice luxurious hotel with amazing views all around. Very nice clean pools all over the resorts, well maintained. The ocean is amazing, beach & sand. Rooms are nice minus the comfort of the bed, unless you like stiffer harder beds. Food is really enjoyable, way better than Cuba but a bit behind Mexico. Everyone was friendly and willing to assist in anyway needed. I would definitely recommend this resort if you have never been before. You are welcome in advance.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Beautiful resort!

Great hotel, fabulous food, the grounds were well kept. For the most part staff was very good to excellent with the exception of the main desk which at times was difficult to communicate with due to language barrier.

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Dreams Palm Beach

Great resort, friendly staff all over,only have two complaints....no makeup mirror in our room, if you don't take enough one dollar bills to tip, you are out of luck getting them there. My daughter and I had a wonderful trip.

Caribe Deluxe Princess: We will be back!

This is our second time in as many years at this resort. We returned to many reasons. The grounds are beautiful, the food is good with lots of variety. The beach is absolutely gorgeous and you can walk forever. Rooms are spacious and clean. The staff is so friendly and helpful. They are a big reason we came back. One of our favorite things about this resort is how close everything is. The rooms, restaurants, pools and the beach and all very close to each other. Very convenient. We have been to b [... read more]igger resorts but this one is our favorite. See you next year!

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: A Great Time!

Met family from Nova Scotia at the Esmeralda. The resort had no problem giving us adjoining rooms which was perfect. Landscaping beautiful, beach was heavenly and the pools were great! The food was very good and the coffee was hot! Their Irish coffee’s were second to none!

Ocean Blue and Sand: Can't wait to go back!!

Our family of 3 really enjoyed this resort. This was our first visit to this resort and our second to Punta Cana. The lobby area was grand with lots of comfortable seating and lively evenings. The grounds are well kept and very clean. We had a pool view room in building 9. The room was clean and well stocked with toiletries and mini bar. The pools were huge with lots of loungers just be sure to mark your chairs early in the day. The beach is paradise....soft sand and crystal blue water. There wa [... read more]s no seaweed. The food was good. We really liked the Italian and Japanese restaurants. The steakhouse was ok also. We did not enjoy the sports bar food. The buffet was great with lots of choices. We enjoyed the entertainment. The beach party on Wednesday night was awesome and the foam party on Saturday afternoon was a highlight. The amazing entertainment staff go out of their way to make sure everyone has fun! Overall, I would absolutely recommend this resort. It offered great value and amazing memories.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Very Good Resort

Beautiful grounds, amazing beach very friendly staff great variety of food and drink! The rooms and resort is very modern and vary clean. Lots of room in the restaurants, buffet, at the pools and at the beach. Thanks would go again.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Awesome Time!

Hotel was great! This was my third time staying at this resort; first time on the Palace side. Although a lot busier than the Adult Only section, it was still great. From the room, to the service, food, hospitality, entertainment, I loved it! :) I always recommend this resort to others because you really can't go wrong! GREAT WORK BARCELO!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Not for us

Our second time at a Bahia resort, for us this place was simply not what it said it was, this place is not for the average family. I will give it a 5 for cleanliness. Having to wait and take a tram everywhere is not my favorite part of a vacation. The food at the buffet was plentiful but was always on the cool side even when you where there when the doors opened. The bars were poorly stocked and ran out by noon of mix and rum. Service at the bar was slow and the staff were not very friendly. The [... read more]y could improve there English skills as most of the patrons were English. Pool and beach lounges were hard to come by early in the day.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Beautiful resort.

This was our third time at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace. The food was very good. The beach is so beautiful. Lots of activities for the whole family. There's also a water park with a wave pool. A Casino that is open 24 hours. Bowling alley for the whole family and Sports Bar that is also open 24 hours. The people that work there are all very helpful and polight.

Vista Sol Punta Cana: So so

Beach was beautiful food terrible entertainment okay but get rid of the aggressive time share guys they are annoying and way to aggressive. Food was terrible the worst I have had in the DR. Room service okay beach beautiful but I would not go back!

Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Iberostar Dominicana

We very much enjoyed our first time to Punta Cana. Our travel agent Sally was very helpful. The staff at the hotel were friendly. Some of the negatives were 1. We were not made aware of the $20.00 each to leave. 2. There was no real designated smoking area which resulted in cigarette and cigar smoke everywhere. 3. The hotel keys were constantly malfunctioning. 4. The room was clean but continuously smelled of dampness and sewage oder. 5. The venders allowed on main hotel property were h [... read more]arassing.
