Dreams Cap Cana Resort and Spa: Not for beach people

The resort is nice, the pools are nice, but the beach is not. We did go in the off season during November. As for the beach, even after all the seaweed was finally removed access to the water was poor with coral everywhere

Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort and Spa: Beautiful resort - terrible service - terrible food

Although the grounds and room where beautiful - the staff could not speak English. We waited for up to 4hrs in line to get into restaurants and even when we did we never got 3/4hrs of what we ordered, and when the food came it was cold. Many people we spoke with were very upset and the amenities, some even went as far as to rent a car and drive into town which was 1.5hrs to get some food. When we arrived the hounded us to take a presentation to buy into there preferred packages and were extre [... read more]mely rude (Virginia) and called me low life if you didn't purchase it. We purchased this resort to be children free and there were children from Dreams resort running around. In all we had the worst vacation. Also, our transfers didn't come to pick up up at the resort which resulted in us paying 280.00 USD to get back to the resort. I would not recommend this resort to anyone for now. Maybe in a few years when they have staff and better food it might be better. I am looking for compensation for the money we put out of our pocket.

Secrets Cap Cana: Awesome resort

There was nothing negative to say about our hotel. The staff was amazing. The resort was amazing. There was always something to do. The service was outstanding. Food was awesome. The resort was clean. The staff made sure that we were well taken care of.

Riu Palace Macao: out of 15 times in D.R. this is the #1 top hotel weve been to

There is really nothing one can say negative, from check in, changing rooms because of my back, no fault of theirs. no line ups for anything the newly renovated place seems to run with ease, no bugs, no seaweed...super clean, service for pool drinks or dinner was impeccable. My only suggestion would be the house wine selection has much to be desired.

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Beautiful resort amazing

Returned from a sister vacation and had an excellent time. From the time you walk into the lobby you will be amazed with all the beautiful foliage, took our breath away. All the staff are outstanding and will go out of their way to ensure you are having an excellent time. The pool was amazing, the food out of the world, no issues what so ever. Love this resort and will be returning in March for our third time. The only issue are the patio doors do not have handles to open from the outsi [... read more]de, which is a struggle for people that do not have strength to push on the glass to open.

Sunscape Dominican Beach: 5 Stars !

We loved our week at Secrets Tides Punta Cana. The resort was so clean and well kept. Staff was professional, attentive, happy to help and plentiful. You could always find someone to assist you if needed. Drinks were served in glasses and were of great quality - bars were never far away. Our room - a swim out with butler service was beautiful appointed and had multiple lighting options throughout the room and bluetooth speakers in the ceiling that we could play our own music from. Room Service [... read more] delivered on time and were accurate and hot upon delivery. Our butler was named Milcaides (Micky) and he was fabulous. He was a terrific help to my partner who planned a wedding proposal while we were there. Micky played a big part in helping to make it a very memorable occasion for us. He was so attentive, personable and genuinely wanting our stay to be the best possible. The entertainment was good - lots of activities throughout the day to participate in. Evening live entertainment and then shows. We didn't stay for any of the shows, but they looked to be well presented in a very nice theatre area with plenty of seating. This was not a "party" resort. There was a DJ who played music throughout the day, but it wasn't crazy loud or obnoxious. Evening parties/shows ended by 11, with people being able to stay up and enjoy the lobby bar later into the evening if they chose. Restaurants were decorated very nicely, food was delicious and menus had lots of options at every restaurant. We were extremely pleased with the whole vacation. Knowing we set the bar quite high after this trip for future vacations to measure up to. It was a romantic, relaxing and thoroughly enjoyed vacation in the DR. Don't hesitate to book it!

Riu Bambu: Not recommended

Let me start by saying i've been to this hotel several time. This trip however was possibly the worst. The rooms are old, the fridge was leaking. Ants are everywhere in the rooms. I had to change two days in. Less ants however still the same. I cannot even describe how horrible the food was. All the meat and sea food products were all over cooked. Basically, it was the same food being served over and over and over again, for the full seven days that I was there. On the upside, the team working a [... read more]t the hotel were fantastic. The level of service received by the service staff at the front desk and also in the dining room was beyond reproach. They were the only bright side of my trip.

Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Repeat customer

I have stayed at Iberostar hotels number of times. Generally speaking, our overall experience has been great. However this time, I found the breakfast was not as good as I have always expereinced. Choice of fruit was less than satisfactory, bacon trays were empty at both ends of buffet, service was not as good, coffee served at the table was cold. Tables were not cleaned and cutlery not setup promptly. I had some time spend a bit of time looking for a clean table.

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Very nice

Overall the hotel was lovely again, we went to the same place last year and enjoyed it. The restaurants are lovely and the pools are plentiful and fun. The feedback I would give is that the housekeeping could be slightly better, little things like sometimes our room was close to running out of toilet paper, And towels

Viva Miches by Wyndham: ECO Resort

The resort grounds was well kept and the room was very clean. The location and beach was amazing with no other resorts close by. The food was good and the staff was friendly and helpful. My stay was very relaxing. My only negative was the nightly entertainment started too late.

Occidental Punta Cana: Occidental review

This was our third time here at this resort and again it did not let’s us down, The grounds are very well kept, the staff is first rate, they go well beyond what is expected of them. Beautiful beach that you could walk for miles on end , what we like most of all is that all is in walking distance , the beach, the restaurants, and the main lobby. Our only dislike this year was the nightly entertainment, you could do away with the Kareoke.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Barcelo Bavaro Beach

Great place for a 5 day escape.The golf course was our main reason for being there and it exceeded our expectations. The food and drinks were plentiful and the a la carts restaurants were a great option other than buffets.

Serenade All Suites Adults Only Resort: Serenade All Suites - Great Hotel in Punta Cana

This was our third visit to the Serenade All Suites Resort. It is a great resort in every aspect. The beach, food, drinks, hotel room, the entire complex and the staff are excellent. We would totally return and recommend this resort to any one considering a trip to Punta Cana.

Ocean Blue and Sand: One of my favorites

Mike's coffee is the best, the grounds are always looked after. Route 66 menu needs updating, other food options were good. Beach was awesome! We will go back any chance that we get. Shuttle service from the airport was slow due to construction.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Fun Resort

Just came back from a week long stay at Dreams Onyx for a family wedding. The resort is the perfect backdrop for a beach wedding with it’s picturesque views. It’s family friendly for all ages to enjoy including a fun water park. We also spent time at the neighbour resort “Breathless” where it’s adult only. Both resorts had great food options and the staff were very accommodating to ensure our stay was perfect.

Riu Palace Macao: My new home away from home

We just returned home from 11 glorious days at Rio, Palace Macao. I have to say that this is the most beautiful resort that we have ever been to, and there have been a lot. I was so impressed with the cleanliness and the upkeep of the entire resort, including the beach. The food was more than we ever could’ve asked for and the service was amazing. We never waited more than one minute for a drink the entire stay. We love the size of this resort and the fact that everything was close to whereve [... read more]r you wanted to be, but saying that it still didn’t feel closed in. As far as our room goes, we had a superior junior suite which they actually upgraded us to when we arrived. Our room was a little bit musty when we first walked in, but it had not been used for a few days so had been closed up. I went to the front desk and asked them if they could spray when they cleaned the next day and they did and it made a big difference. I also highly recommend taking the moisture bags and hanging a couple in your room as it was amazing the difference they made. I loved the location of our room as well. We were in the corner tower overlooking the swim up bar pool , so we had lots to watch late afternoon when the parties began. We never attended any of the pool parties but everyone that did had a great time but we did enjoy listening to the music. I highly recommend this resort to anyone who wants an adult only wonderful vacation. We definitely will be returning as I cannot think of another resort that would give us everything that we wanted and then some.

Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort: Amazing Resort

Staying at the Grand Sirenis Punta Cana was a wonderful experience. The resort was beautiful, the beaches were the best we have ever been to, the grounds were immaculate, our room was comfortable, clean and always cared well for.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Great Hotel

Great Hotel and location, excellent friendly Staff, Good restaurants and bars. only issue was that rooms need to be up dated specially the bath room. plumbing issues, doors not closing. and very tight space between the Bath Tub and the Toilet. shower inside a Bath Tub is not suitable for many guests. just a nice shower will do the trick. shuttle between hotels was great, enjoyed the nice Pool and the Beach, will be back,

Adults Only Club at Lopesan Costa Bavaro: A blast for the family

Hotel felt new and clean, from the rooms to the restaurants everything felt upscale. Can be a bit confusing on how to get around if you're bound to elevators (strollers/wheelchairs) but after a couple days it was easy to navigate. The resort felt very family friendly, with the unexpected exception of the main pool - Everyday from open to close, the pool music/party events/contests were pretty difficult to be at comfortably. Good for a bit of fun/party, but not somewhere I wanted to stay with the [... read more] kids. One of the days, a speaker broke on one end of the pool, which made a huge difference, and was pleasant to be at. The waterpark was a blast for the kids and parents. It occasionally gets pretty busy, and is loosely managed by the lifeguards - best keep an active eye on the kids as we witnessed some collisions on the slides. The splash pad in back of the water park (for small kids) was in desperate need of repairs, and although the water was on, didn't seem to get used. Many rubber tiles were lifted and missing, and did not appear to be cleaned (Early Nov 2025) Food was the best I've had in DR, with desserts much better than what I've experienced at other resorts nearby. We went to the Mexican, Italian, and Japanese multiple times. My kids are still talking about the carrot cake at the Mexican restaurant. Beach was well maintained, we had no issues getting covered seating. Swim area isn't huge, as you can't go very far out, understandably. Grounds were immaculate. Constantly pruned and cared for made for very lush, floral surroundings Drinks were always good, good pours and tasty options. I'm not overly concerned with drinks, so as an occasional drinker, it was great The cafe was a surprise hit, we made it part of our daily routine. They often have small sandwiches and smoothies that were a hit with the kids. The ice cream shop was a regular stop for us, I found the fruit based ice creams to be the best (Mango, passionfruit) - more like sorbet, but great none the less. Staff were great, very loving of the kids, smiling, warm, and inviting. A little effort of learning a small amount of Spanish, or using a translator went a long way. Never was I asked for a tip, or handout, although we did tip, and recommend tipping. Experienced one power outage for less than an hour. Killed the wifi, but lucky the beach doesn't run on electricity Rooms did feel damp, but seemed to get better the longer we were there. Not sure if it has something to do with a/c settings when nobody is in the room or just us getting used to it. I'd personally like to see the resort lean in to the upscale family friendly identity, less of the party hardy. More desserts with local fruits would be very nice.
