Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Extremely disappointed

In the past I have booked with Tripcentral.ca and I was very happy with their services. All agents I worked with, were thoughtful and did their best to help for the best possible experience. This time, the agent was only considering selling. I even emailed her, and the answer was worst than satisfactory. I replied and she never got back to me. Very disappointed in the services received. The hotel I was sent to is a total mess, from check-in to check-out.

Playabachata Hotel: Great Resort

I thought the resort was great. The only crappy thing was the Wi-Fi only worked in the lobby. There was always food and drinks. The AC broke on the last night and the coding started to come out of the bathtub and there were some ants in the bathtub as well, but other than that, it was really upbeat fun. We had a great time. The staff were amazing. We will be back.

Serenade Punta Cana Beach and Spa Resort: Nice Comfortable resort

This resort is on the compact side ( not a bad thing) easy to get around. One of the nicest beaches ive seen wide with ample natural vegetation for shade and lots of umbrellas, soft sand. The pools are large with quiet and noisy ends Kids pool in between. There are quite a few kids at this resort, but there seems to be enough entertainment for them that you don't notice them that much. Over all the place is clean and well kept, but it could use some paint and love in some areas, just cosmetic re [... read more]ally. The food is good with a decent amount of choices. The a la carte restaurants are nice but other than the steak house not a great deal better than the buffet. The servers need more training on sit down dining etiquette As with most places in the Caribbean the trend continues here with very mediocre house wine and the option to buy a bottle that is so overpriced it feels like assault. The bar tenders free pour so the Daquiri you get on the beach may be very different from the one you get in the lobby. Over all decent value for your vacation dollar, but not in the top 5 of downs south resorts I have visited

Secrets Cap Cana: Secrets Cap Cana vacation

We had an amazing week at Secrets Cap Cana! The grounds were pristine and always well taken care of by the friendly staff. We stayed in a junior suite that was lovely, lots of fresh towels and anything by you could need. Our butler Darling was friendly and attentive and responded to our requests promptly. The restaurants available were delicious, we particularly enjoyed Seaside Grill and Oceana. I used the fitness center daily and my husband loved walking the beach. The beach had white sands  [... read more]and all the seaweed was taken away daily by hotel staff. We would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a warm relaxing holiday. Thanks to Christine for recommending it.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Good Resort

The grounds were beautiful. Well kept. Thank you very much. Grounds people you work hard. Rooms are very dated. Had to have a fridge replaced as the other fridge was overheated. Thank you Carlos for your quick response.. Most staff were very friendly. Housekeeping staff and staff providers was good. The spa pool was lovely. Was calming. No blaring music. Much appreciated!!!!? Some staff speak quite loud which is unnecessary. Main pool area music extremely extremely loud, high bas [... read more]e, booming. Spoke to front staff and pool staff about the volume of music. Nothing really changed. Would not return due to this!!! Especially in the evenings after a long day. Beach was lovely and the staff were good. Dining room staff was generally good. Staff work hard.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Cheap, Clean Stay

The rooms, although dated, grounds and beach are well maintained. Entertainment was fun and engaging. The a la carte Chinese and Italian were amazing. The only draw back was the amount of cigarette and cigar smoking and the smell of sewage at certain times of the day.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Amazing Complex and Resort!!

The second time to the Bahia Principe complex in Punta Cana and it was even better than the first time. We stayed 10 perfect weather days, the food was excellent and booked a different restaurant every night. The buffet and grill food spots at the beach and pool areas also excellent!! Never bored and staff are so very friendly and superb service providers.

Secrets Tides Punta Cana: Great trip!

Beautiful resort, super clean and amazing service on the beach from Javier and Michael! Loved the ocean, preferred pool was very busy. Dinners were great, hard to pick a favourite. Only negative would be the poor service from our butler Jamie.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Super Clean, Super Easy

Small group winter get away in a Very clean resort, a little classic but well maintained and a great deal at this price point. One of the easiest check-in/checkouts ever. Food was great, drinks were plentiful and staff everywhere were just so nice and skilled. This is one of the best beaches we have seen. So clean and easy to get in and out.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: disappointed

this resort is very dated and in bad need of a lot of Repair. The beds were super hard. They had three pools at the resort and only one umbrella. The tiles around the pools were all loose the lounge chairs at the pool majority were ripped and stained. We were out of hot water for two days others were out for more than seven the staff, for the exception of two did not seem to want to be there would never speak They ran out of white wine on two days that I know of at the buffet. There was one toas [... read more]ter for the whole resort. It seems like this place is going down. I definitely would not recommend it. Other others that we talk to were the same very disappointed.

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Good enough

Review of Wyndham Alltra Samana Location - It is a long way from the airport. Expect close to 2 hours depending on how many other resorts the bus stops at (our’s only stopped at one other). The flights leaving Toronto 2:30 will get to the resort by about 10 . We were told by others we would get a ham sandwich upon arrival since all the restaurants are closed at 10. However, we were able to grab a few leftovers from the buffet. Tip – go to the washroom before you leave the airport. • Roo [... read more]ms – quite lovely, modern, well laid out, shower is huge with rainhead shower head plus a hand held. Can’t comment on their shampoo/conditioner since I brought my own. They do give you lots of nice fluffy towels, including facecloths and toilet paper. To the point where they rarely had to restock. I liked that. AC works well. Sliding door actually is newish and works well. Enough storage. Room (premium) had no hairdryer,robe or umbrella. Front desk gave us a hairdryer. We were in building 7, close to beach and premium pool. 10 minute walk to buffet & restaurants. • Staff – nice but very little English. • Beach – lovely, random few rocks in first couple feet but don’t really need water shoes. Very little shade; if you must have, purchase and bring shade umbrellas from Amazon. Grassy area is nice if you don’t want sand in everything and much more personal space. On the sandy part, you may find others plunking down in your personal space. That was unpleasant and rude. • Pool – we only went in Premium pool twice – it is nice. The main pool looked nice too. • Drinks/bars – mixed drinks were awful – made with syrups which were gross. Skip them if you can. For us, the main drawback of the resort is no nice bar to relax after dinner. All evening activities, such as they were, are held at a brightly lit open bar by the main pool with plastic chairs. Entertainment is basically zero, with a DJ playing music backed up with the sound of plastic chairs scraping on the floor. • Snack bar on beach – great hamburgers, pizzas etc but expect 45 minutes to 1 hour wait. Quite disorganized. And really busy – usually few available tables. • Las Galeras -nice enough little town but not touristy at all. Small grocery stores etc. • Bonus – horses on property next door. Lovely. • Overall, nice but not enough to do the long transfers to/from airport and the food not great.

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: El baso / El faro trip

The hotel adult side is rated as a 5, we had been to this property in 2019 El faro and now stayed at El baso. We have been to various Punta cana resorts approx 20 times. This hotel is a 3.5. Based on food, service, room condition, check in at El beso (Avery needs to improve on people skills ) and lack of Gluten free options, lack of ambiance in the a la carte restaurants noisy and buffet has better options, italian not good. Moldy rooms our friends room was moldy and smelled horrible, it took 2  [... read more]days to move them and the hotel rebooked the same room to someone else same day who in turn had the same issue. Why would that room not be taken out of service. Issues with front desk completing simple tasks like an additional blanket, filling the beer and water in fridge as promised and some arrogance . Dont put something in writing if you cant fufill it as a tour operator. Entertainment subpar except for fireshow which is a off premise group which tours hotels. Piano bar had an excellent pianist but horrible bar service every nite. Very little gluten free options many staff could not speak english and did not know what gluten free is which is dangerous if you have celiac or food allergies. One restaurant by the beach Villa marina, was never open, others were closed for private events which limited choice. Excessive attempts to upsell wines, beer and lobster at the a la cartes very annoying. We had a good time with our friends and will come back to Punta cana but somewhere else please note their are many great staff here which did provide excellent service such as the Pez damas restaurant at the beach excellent atmosphere ,food and service. The japenese Sakura restaurant was very good. Route 66 was typicall rd house but the hostess needs to lighten up and lose the attitude not much of a cheerlreader. Groundskeepwrs and security staff and bellboys and cart drivers were hard working. Lazy river is awesome,thankyou for topping up our floats. Great service at Mikes coffee and great selection but no gf deserts which you had in 2019. Beach lagoon was fun and safe to swim no reef or rocks. All in all we had a great time , well laid out resort, honest review and everyones experiece will differ based on their interactions and experiences and oh ya no snow to be found !

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Amazing resort!

The resort was beautiful, everything within walking distance, beach was beautiful and the service amazing. Loved the strip with all the little shops, kids loved getting pizza and ice cream whenever they wanted. The performances were great each day. Food was good. Room was a little dated but clean and honestly we've stayed in worse. Everything in the room worked, hot showers, etc. would 100% not hesitate to return.

Adults Only Club at Lopesan Costa Bavaro: Not 5 star category

The hotel and grounds were beautiful. However the food and service was not great. We could not find any loungers by the main pool our entire stay and staff were not helpful. The booking system for the restaurants was frustrating and we had to take inconvenient times. The breakfast buffet in the morning was awful.

Riu Republica: very nice

We liked it very much and expect to get back. Nice resort, well situated on a long beach of white sand. Impressed by the number of chairs, the dunes next to the beach with shade under the trees. Lots of bars including wet bars, some more quiet, others with lots of entertaining. Liked the bar in te room with whiskey, rum, gin and vodka. Big (huge) self serve main restaurant. A second opne on the far side. The a la carte not so good. Good service and the food was quite diverse. Had a gastro a [... read more]fter the spanish restaurant and never went to another a la carte afterwards. I heard other people complaining about gastro on the scuba trips. No sports on the beach, probably because of the wind. Nice waves though and clear water. Rooms are large with air conditioning running without having to keep a key card in the room. Good entertainment in most of the days. If it rained (one evening) we realized that we didn't have to go out in the rain to move almost everywhere on the site, On the bad side for the administration of the resort, the checkin was a nightmare. We did the online checkin in advance. We still spent more than one hour at the special checkin desk waiting in line to discover that our online checkin didn't count.

Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort Adults: Beautiful resort

The beach was amazing the rooms were very nice and clean the staff were very friendly. The grounds were beautiful and kept very clean. It would be nice to have a few more restaurants. The pool was really nice but a bit cool at first.

Riu Palace Macao: Great two week vacation!

We loved the Riu Palace Macao. Check in and out at the desk was easy. They accommodated our group of six in the same building and on the same floor with King beds. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The shower water was always hot. The room was clean and quiet (room 5113). The buffet was very good. ALL the buffet staff were always friendly and moved tables so our group of six could sit together. Pepe's Food Grill at the pool was amazing! The grounds and bathrooms were always clean. We especia [... read more]lly enjoyed ALL the activity staff who made our stay fun! Everyday there were activities around the pool. Short easy games of hoop toss, ladder toss, corn hole, board bowling, darts, plinko, bingo etc. There were two ping pong tables at the pool that we enjoyed using. Everything was within easy walking distance for us 65 + visitors.

Riu Republica: Was Good

Room was very well kept 2210. No coffee or towels . Had to ask a few times after room was cleaned. Far walk to the food . Buldings seemed to end and had to go back to find a way to out Food was ok. I was very sick on day 2 3 others where ok. Pool towels could only be handed in after 3 pm Beach was nice, ocean rough. Shows were very good! Sports bar was a mess! After the young patrons Food looked dry. It was reading week. Tons of kids ( which was fine) That where fun/ respectful o [... read more]f others

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: ** Food Poisoning, Shockingly Sad **

This is NOT a 5- star resort! Don't be fooled by surprising number of positive reviews. Food was a hit (beach BBQ) or a miss (buffet and a la carte), where a miss makes you sick. We found maggots in the cauliflower at beachside buffet, majority of shellfish at both buffets was inedible (rancid), rancid butter, and a piece of wire in the vegetables at L'Essance that was nearly ingested, it could have caused a very serious illness or worse. Beautiful beach, pools, bar service, grounds, most se [... read more]rvers, but none of that matters when your end trails uncontrollably force themselves from all your exits, repeatedly! Yes, it was that disgusting. Failed on bed type requests, overall room quality and housekeeping despite oversized tipping. ** DO NOT RECOMMEND **

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Great resort

Good hotel staff very nice and helpful front desk good but dont take the time to explain things eg if your key stops working you have to have both keys changed at the same time or your roomates wont work ours had to be chamged three times rooms in the 2100 building are very noisy at might right across from the entertainment area if you like to stay up late youll be fine if not bring earplugs food is good plenty to choose from you wont go hungry for the price it is a good hotel finding chairs and [... read more] tables outside can be trying as some guest put towels on beach chairs and pool chaisr for the entire day and only use one set but that happens at most all inclusives had a nice time a few extra charges for some meals and premium drinks like baileys 400 dollars a drink oh and my freinds said the wine is not good all in all I would give this hotel a 8/ 10 rating
