Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Beautiful Resort! Food needs some seasoning!

This resort is beautiful. It was our second time staying here, and we'll probably be back again! This hotel is great, the grounds are beautiful, but some rooms need updating. Everyone that works at the hotel is super helpful and friendly. There was an issue finding our reservation when we arrived, which could have easily been a disaster, but the staff was very good about sending us to eat while they sorted it out. We had to wait about 1.5 hours after we arrived but all was good and we did [... read more] get the room we had booked. We stay in the Privileged Exclusive Suite with a Swimming Pool. The pool is amazing. These rooms haven't been updated in a while. The furniture in the living area of the room is not comfortable, but honestly, we never sit in there. Why would you sit inside when you could be out at the pool? We never did figure out how to work our jacuzzi. There are no instructions and the keypad control doesn't make logical sense. The shower and other things in the room were fine and in great shape. The beach was a bit weedy when we were there, but they had just had a big storm the night before. Staff was working furiously to get it cleaned up and by the time we left it looked great! The food at the resort is touch and go. Room service is always fast and hot. We had breakfast several times on the patio, and it was always great. The buffets are always a hit. So many choices and all very good. The formal dining restaurants get a little tired after a week, but I think that is only because it was our second time there, so we already knew what we liked and what we didn't like. One addition that was new was the coffee shop (which was great!) It's a little far from the adults-only side of the resort, and they don't have any "to-go" type of cups so you had to drink it there. If you are going, I suggest taking a reusable cup so that you could enjoy your iced coffee, etc back at your room!

Excellence Punta Cana: Excellents Punta Cana

Just returned from our 12th trip to all inclusive Excellents.Punta Cana. The service and quality of food and accommodations is still A1. We did notice a smaller number of guests this year. Staff said it was possibly due to the trouble that one resort had earlier in the year. Since we have visited many times the staff remembered us and went out of their to make our stay all that more enjoyable, spoke to a number of first time guest and they all said they would revisit. We will visit again next ye [... read more]ar, but wii increase our stay from 10 days to 2 weeks. If you are looking for a great holiday, give this resort a try, you won’t be sorry.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Dreams Dominicus - La Romana

This was our first stay at a Dreams Resort, and our first time in the Dominican Republic. The resort was a perfect balance of quiet and fun activities! Grounds were clean, staff friendly, good food!

Sunscape Puerto Plata: Not bad for the price

Hotel was outdated however it was clean. Air conditioning kept shutting off in our room. It was slow season and I understand that . What I don’t understand is opening the doors to the locals and they just move in and it’s now crazy land . No longer a relaxing holiday. As for the nice roped in area on the beach that the sun club up grade provides. We couldn’t sit or even stay to enjoy the beach. We were constantly approached to buy from locals on the beach we had to leave . Nice beach but  [... read more]couldn’t stay . Oh yes one more the food .., lack of or not eatable ...

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Beautiful

Took my sister to my happy place. I have been here 5 times now. I can’t get enough of the beautiful view from every where you look . The resort is beautiful.. clean and there is always someone to help you if you have any questions. The staff are amazing. The assistant manager Edward was extremely helpful and always available. The restaurant staff are always with a smile and there for your every needs. The buffet manager dady was always helpful and he always is there to assist. The bartenders [... read more] were all very good. In a good mood and awesome at their job . The locals that work beside the beach are amazing and we made several trips to town to support as many businesses as we could. It’s a beautiful place to go. The shuttle service was fantastic. If you love to go in the water it is warm clean and very gentle. The beach is small but kept exceptionally clean by the staff. The bridge that goes into the ocean is lit up at night which makes the scenery at night even more beautiful. Town is a few minute walk and all the houses are built up the hillside so at night it reminds me of Italy . Great entertaining in the evenings as well as their disco. The rooms are situated where there is a beautiful view wherever you are .We have been to many resorts in many places and this is by far the most beautiful scenic resort we have ever seen. I will return again and again . Thank you for all you do to make your guests have an unforgettable holiday ❤️

Paradisus Punta Cana: November 2019 in Punta Cana

Although we had a fantastic time at this hotel, there are a few things that need improving. Check in: Gorgeous lobby as we stepped up to the check-in counter we thought to ourselves how great, no line-up. However it took at least 1/2 hour until someone finally got us checked in - not acceptable! Finally shuttled to our room and luggage set inside. Room looked nice and clean however we had an issue with the bathtub draining - this was resolved quickly. The other issue was the dresser.  [... read more]couldn't be bothered complaining however the drawers didn't work properly so I just left one of them out for easy access. So they really need to upgrade some oft the rooms. Our concierge was very friendly, along with almost all of the staff. we truly enjoyed the buffet along with nightly entertainment. The Hibachi and Mexican also very good however the food from the Italian and steakhouse, not good! We stuck with the buffet for the rest of the trip. When mentioned we were celebration our anniversary, it was emntioned a surprise in our room the day of, well the surprise was on us, nothing! Not that we expected anything however it would have been a nice add-on. Will definitely visit the Dominican again, however not this hotel!

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Great resort!

Resort was very clean. Awesome beach and beautiful water to swim in. Lots of choices for restaurants and all are very good. Entertainment in the Esmeralda was a little weak but to be fair we didn’t go to the other areas where entertainment was available. I will definitely go again to the Esmeralda.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Awesome again

This place has amazed us again. We have been twice now and are planning to return next year. The grounds are well maintained, the beach is fantastic, the food is delicious and the service can't be beat. We have already asked others to join us. Looking forward to seeing our new friends again. We plan to meet there again soon.

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Nice resort

The hotel was nice. In my opinion, I would rank as a 4*. Room was clean, beach was amazing and pools are large. The a la carte is a 7/10. Buffet service 6/10. Maid service 10/10 and overall bar service 9/10. We had a good stay.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Very nice resort

The rooms were clean and the good was good. The entrance to the pool was slippery and quite a few people either slipped or they fell. The resort was situated between the mountain and ocean ...very pretty. I would go there again.

Ocean El Faro: New resort

Dining was great except they shut down the buffett one night. Rooms were kept clean. Service people were friendly and awesome! Bad bits- not enough garbage receptacles and NO outside washrooms for pool users to go to, so guess where they went.

Caribe Deluxe Princess: Caribe Club Princess - True to Reviews

Hubby and I stayed at the Caribe Club Princess for 14 days in October, 2019. The resort was exactly as described in the reviews. It was very clean, the rooms were huge, the staff very friendly.

This was our second visit to the resort in a year. Loved it even more this time. The staff are great - everyone has a smile on their face. The entertainment crew is fantastic and always full of energy. The rooms are spacious and cleaned twice daily. The resort is spotless with beutiful grounds. We never had to wait for a drink or to be seated in any restaurant. There is a great selection of meals at every restaurant. I love the option of going for breakfast buffet or to the Lobster house [... read more] for a served breakfast. We will be returning to this resort again!

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Amazing resort

From the moment we arrived until the time we left the Majestic Colonial everything was perfect. We were able to book and enjoy a swim up room with all Club amenities. This was our second time to this resort and will not be our last. We met many visitors, especially Canadians, who have been there many times. Some more than ten times. The food was very good and well presented. Every night there was a theme for the dining at the buffet. The beach dinner was a nice touch. When there is a beach  [... read more]dinner the other restaurants are closed so make sure you don't miss this well prepared dinner. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Quality and Service at its best

My wife and I were at the Ambar from Oct 27/19 thru Nov 3/19.We booked a swim out room that was ultra modern and cleaned every day.We ate in five different a la carte restaurants and all were very good.The pool and the beach are amazing with lots of loungers every day.The service at this hotel was some of the best we have received and we travel twice a year.We were at the Ambar 4 years ago and the people working here are the best.If you are looking for a adults only with impeccable service then  [... read more]I would highly recommend the Ambar. We will see you again in the spring. Best wishes and Thankyou

Royalton Hideaway Punta Cana: A very nice resort with some communication kinks.

Enjoyed the resort overall. Most of the service was very good. Hotel grounds, bars and Dorado restaurant were great. Loved the Hideaway section lounge. Experienced some issues at check-in, spa appointments and overall communication. Took 5 requests to have a bathroom light and balcony door fixed ! The resort is not a "real" adults only. Children have access to all areas except one restaurant and one bar. Adult only section too in proximity to the non adult area. Loud hallways as an echo c [... read more]an be heard. Shocking amount of garbage outside the resort as driving into and out of the hotel. Diamond Club upgrade NOT worth it !
