Bahia Principe Explore Turquesa: Okay, but expected more from a Bahia

Room was dated and it feel like it as well. Balcony door did not lock, luckily we were on the second floor. Shower was falling apart and the toilet was making weird sounds for a while after being flushed. Food was decent in the buffet. Breakfast and lunch was repetitive but dinner had some good options like lobster night etc. The lunch by the beach seems to be better than the one by the pool. Mixed drinks were a hit and miss. The ladies I traveled with felt they were being ignored by  [... read more]the bartenders sometimes serving the men first. As for service, majority of the employees were good and attentive but there were a few that just ignored requests. Could be a language barrier but it would have been better if they just indicated they did not understand. The Beach was infested with seaweeds. They try to pick it with a tractor but it was hopeless. Not the fault of the hotel and the workers were doing their best to control it. Pools were good and enjoyable. A la carte - a couple good ones. The Brazilian and Mongolia were the best of the ones visited. Sushi and Indian not so much. Not a lot of good activities for kids. There were a few good shows like the magic snow and circus, but it started and 10pm. After a day at the pool, the kids were too tired to be up that late.

Vik Hotel Cayena Beach: Great memories from this little hidden spot

We have found this place by chance, as initially it was not near our top choices due to the resort's aging infrastructure. But since the the dates worked for us with our short notice trip, we took the chance. After staying there for a few days, I can confidently say that this was the most relaxing sun destination trip I have taken so far. The entire VIK resort complex is dated and not fancy, which is visible once you start exploring, but it was clean and comfortable. The staff at Cayena are very [... read more] friendly, helpful and courteous. The guests that were there at the time also seemed to have developed a sense of care and relationship with Cayena, as quite a few of them continue to return on regular basis. The private beach section always offered plenty of loungers and hammocks. The pool was not overly busy during our stay. Many times, were were the only ones there. The Cayena exclusive a la carte restaurant offered great options for breakfast and lunch. We have tried almost all of the menu options and enjoyed every dish that was made for us. I really enjoyed having our made to order breakfast while sitting a few meters away from the ocean. The Cayena exclusive bar also provided us with all the necessities for our stay. All combined, the Cayena section delivered everything that we needed at the pace we wanted. We have not experienced any moment of urgency or rush, as almost everything was within reach and exclusive to us when needed. For the duration of our stay, we hardly ever needed to cross over to the main resort, with the exception of the evening buffet and entertainment. Now, the beach was covered in seaweed because of the season, so we did not get to go into the ocean. Erosion is also visible along the beach, which is a more widespread occurrence along many other resorts. However, with the way Cayena is set up, you can still enjoy the ocean views from the pool, the bar, the restaurant, the patio, and the rooms. I would definitely go back and definitely recommend for anyone that just wants to relax.

Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana: Wow - Dreams Macou

The resort exceeded our expectations. The staff was incredibly helpful. The kids explorer club was great. The entertainment crew rocked it. The variety and access to food was fantatic. All our meals were delicious.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Excellent Resort

Bahia principe Ambar was the perfect getaway for us. The location was right on the beach and the resort enviorment was perfect for older couples. Food was excellent and we had mamy choices of restaurants to choose from as all of Bahia principe resorts in Punta Cana are conectred

Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort and Spa: Secrets Esmeralda

Beautiful area of the country. Still undeveloped. Best beach so far. Food average and some ala cartes good and some not so good. Buffet good variety and staff are excellent. Front desk staff are careless and not very helpful. They tried to over charge for the preferred package not knowing I had researched how much it was from here. Wanted crazy money for something I didn’t think was worth. All you get is top tier liquor by their standard, extra restaurant and a butler. All of which have  [... read more]no value to me. Their area is gated off but not on the beach itself. The resort is new and nice but the area is being developed with other resorts planned already which are even higher end. Good to visit now to see the beautiful beaches as not sure how long that will last. Would go again but would try other resorts planned already. Overall a solid 4 star. Also was our anniversary and nothing special was done. Maybe the butler might have if I had chosen to pay thousands for preferred but not really worth a bottle of booze, banner and maybe a bubble bath set up.

Bahia Principe Explore Turquesa: Good resort

It is good resort food beach activities show except reception guys which don't want to fix cold water in the sink in our room I'm ask them 3 times during our vacation and they still not fixed because only hot water coming any position and you can't do nothing water is very hot you have to step in bathtub to do your thing this is only one thing I don't like in this hotel all the rest it was perfect

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: NOT A 5 STAR

The only good things I could say is that the rooms were clean and the “Limbo” à la carte restaurant was good. That is were it ended. The meat at the Rodizio steak house was harder than my shoe. We went for a wedding and the chicken also was tuff to cut and was stuffed with raisins when it was supposed to be wild mushrooms. Most of our guests got sick and to top it off, all 4 toilets by the pool were locked the two days I had to use them.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine, Punta Cana

The property was nice. Pools are good, Rooms are nice. Good gym The issue we had was with the food - especially with the lack of food options during the day. The only coffee shop on the resort was off limited to us as we were at the Aquamarine and the coffee shop was only for those at the Ambar. So, machine coffee it is. The meals at the restaurants are OK, not great. Went to watch a World Cup football game at the sports bar, during the day. The place was empty except for the 4 booths at [... read more] the very back that were full. This is because no one was allowed to site the big screen without reservations. That entire area was empty! Also, beer was $5 at the Sports Bar. The staff was polite but not friendly. I will not be returning to this resort.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Amazing Trip

We loved the resort grounds, the food, the people. Room was very dated but clean. The AC worked and toilet flushed. Entertainment was good but often ended early in the evening. Liked that it wasn’t crazy far from airport too.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Elegance Magic

From start to finish this resort is simply top notch! Staff are incredible, grounds are amazing , rooms are heavenly and the food is excellent! Would go back in a heartbeat! Majestic resorts have it all! Perfect vacation spot!

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Disappointing

There was black mold on our bathroom ceiling and I ended up with bacterial pneumonia hospitalized for 3 days which the doctor at the hospital said it could certainly be caused by mold They switched our room. The new room had a faulty electrical outlet. Theywere supposed to fix it but never returned. They put a huge cable outlet running across the room which could have ended up with one of us tripping. We got locked out of our room for 2 1/2 hours because of the faulty lock. No compen [... read more]sation given us whatsoever

Occidental Punta Cana: Low budget hotel

1. It’s a Spanish owned hotel, not much workers speak English. 2. Food was a 5/10 3. Waited 1 hr in line at the reception desk to check into our room just to find out we have a royal level check in which is somewhere else that had no line. Workers were not working, keep leaving the desk doing other things even thought the line was long. 4. Beach was the highlight 8/10 just lots of seaweed by the shore.

Royalton Hideaway Punta Cana: Not bad but not great

The grounds of the resort are beautiful and the entertainment is top notch. For some reason is says I’m reviewing Hideaway but we were at the Punta Cana Diamond Club. Tried to get connecting rooms - no luck. Reserved rooms ahead of time - not honored. Our daughter has a shellfish allergy and it was a very difficult experience for her. We informed the resort of her life threatening allergies and on the second day we found a shrimp tail in the children’s pasta. We had a good response from the staf [... read more]f to help accommodate her need to use take out containers and eat in her room. On a few occasions we were stopped and questioned about using take out containers. The beach has beautiful sand but the water is not turquoise - it is kinda like swimming in an Ontario lake. The pools are super warm and both my kids got ear infections after a few days. Being ear drops because they are 35USD at the shop at the resort. The water park at Splash was a lot of fun.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Good Resort

We have been to this resort 3 times in the last 4 years, we had excellent service from Rodolfo the beverage person. The house keeping staff was amazing, an issue we had was we booked a king size bed in November 2025 but we were given 2 twins. Which was disappointing as this was our 25th wedding anniversary trip. Some of the à la carte restaurant the staff were dismissive and rude. The Indian and Greek restaurants were disappointed in.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Adequate resort experience

Pretty grounds, talented bartenders. Poor communication about shuttles to and from the airport Food was amazing with new items everyday. Very nice house red and white. Bring singles to tip wworkers

Riu Republica: very big hotel

this hotel was huge, plenty of lounge chairs, plenty of restaurants, huge buffet. many rooms lack air conditioning, we had to request a different room 3 times, eventually we got one that if you kept the blackout blinds closed with the ceiling fan and ac, you were able to bring the temp to 24 degrees. we slept comfortably as the bedding was thin and light. showers were huge, stingy on the shampoo, the staff works 12 days on 3 days off so they seemed tired. when we tipped some staff member we got  [... read more]better service, but at first they barely looked us in the eyes. the beach was beautiful, no seaweed, huge waves super fun jumping and splashing into the waves, i enjoyed the monkeys and parrots on the beach. dont do the saona beach excursion it was filled with bees and you spend most of the time in the car and on the boat, takes forever to get there. you had to take a shuttle to riu palace to enjoy the wild theme parties, the hotel itself was kind of boring at night. overdose of bachata music and performers. the activty pool and calmer pool had two speakers going at the same time, that was super annoying its like my ears had no idea where to listen. buteventually our super nice pool server said something and suddenly we had bachatta at the calm pool and regular top 40 at the activity pool. legit felt like two ipads blasting the same time.. mbut once we said something it changed instantly so that was appreciated.

Paradisus Grand Cana: 3 night 4 day Trip

At first we thought the distance to the beach would be an issue but it was not at all. It was nice to make the beach a full day event and plan for it. The rooms were great. The pools were cool and each building had its own pool. We only went for 4 days and 3 nights and that was perfect for us.

Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort and Spa: Total bliss & happiness

Despite multiple mixed reviews, we went with out gut to Secrets Michès and loved it. We received a warm and genuine service since arrival. Top coktails and drinks all day with Mildred, Dani and Pedro at pool bar and with Yafreisy at Lobby bar-- best Lemon Drop and Maracuya Martini we ever tried. Good food at main restaurant lead by Chef Alejandro and service by several team members like Yohan. Overall fantastic value. A la carte restaurants were good: we were surprised by the Mediterranean food  [... read more]Meraki and by Tierra which were our favorites. Did not wait long for a table at any of them. Fair live music and shows with the entertainment teams who work really hard and do a fantastic job. To the complaining Karens and Kens saying they paid for more than you get: if you are paying less than $1,000 USD per night per person, you are not overpaying!
