Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Great getaway on Bavaro Beach

Smaller, comfortable resort for Punta Cana. Shuttle is 30 mins from airport, check in/out no issues. Direct on a very wide and long stretch of Bavaro which makes those who enjoy long walks a pleasure. Rooms were nice, beds are very comfortable (our room had 1 king), fridge is restocked each day. Hotel staff are some of the most pleasant we have encountered; always smiling and willing to assist. Grounds are well kept and clean. A la carte restaurants offered something for everyone's tastes and do [... read more] not require a reservation which is a big bonus (only need to reserve the Japanese Tepanyaki at Spice. Our only issues were the house wine which is not very good (premium brands offered from $30-100US) and beach towels had to be out in a cabana by 7:30 am or you are out of luck for shade. Didn't use the pool areas often, we're beach bums.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Third time a charm!!

this was our third visit to Luxury Bahia Ambar Green and we will be back. Everything about this resort is great ... food, service, staff, cleanliness. We can't wait to book our next trip to the Luxury Bahia Ambar Green.

Occidental Punta Cana: AmaZing resort!

Staff was very friendly , the hotel and grounds were very well maintained , big room, lots of food options which were all great , especially the a la cartes, would recommend this resort to anyone and can't wait to go back!

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Amazing Resort!

We love the Now Larimar! This was our second stay at this hotel (Mar 4-11). The staff were so friendly and very helpful. We were upgraded to preferred as it was our second time and they had a fruit platter and bottle of champagne for us. A banner on the door "Welcome back" and since my birthday was during our stay they added another banner "Happy Birthday" with balloons on the door and in our room with an amazing chocolate cake!!! The food at this resort is excellent as was all the restaura [... read more]nts. There is very little to find fault with this hotel. The entertainment staff do a great job! Especially Sexy Chocolate!! (hee hee!!) he was our favorite. The one thing that we did not care for was the Unlimited Vacations presentation. They say it's only 90 mins and then if you are not interested no problem. The entice you to attend with a free massage and gifts. However it lasts 3hrs!! They don't tell you at the start how much the unlimited vacations will cost you. They save that til the end...and it's expensive. They ask for a $5000 downpayment and want you to put it on your visa cause it gives you more priviliges. It's not worth it!!!! My husband was so annoyed that we got sucked in. The hotel should step in and limit this. This was the only fault we found with the hotel. The free gifts are not worth the trouble and you still have to pay something!!

Riu Republica: Ok, but won't return!

OK resort, don't ask for a garden view room, ours looked out to an industrial park with a generator always humming, very noisy. Couldn't sit on the balcony. Changed our room to have a slight view of the ocean. Noisy at night with the sound of the shows. Food was average. Themed restaurants were horrible. Entertainment crew was great though, but still wouldn't return to this resort.

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Relaxing time at CHIC

Just got back from a 4 day getaway at CHIC and had an amazing time (2 couples in our mid 40s). Loved the smaller resorts, rooms were great, and restaurants were all good. The service was the best part the resort. I was constantly asked if I need anything. Great time

Occidental Punta Cana: Beautiful!

The area was really nice, staff made sure the resort was clean day in and out. Huge communication barrier with staff. If you wanted anything fast you were not getting it (front desk, drinks, food at al la cartes). Rooms were absolutely beautiful, the best i have seen on a down south resort. Good mixture of people (babies to the elderly). Small enough to walk around! I would go back to this resort!!

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Fantastic resort and service!

Majestic Elegance, Elegance Club (adults only side) was one of the best resorts we've stayed at in Punta Cana! We've been vacationing in the DR for many years and loved this resort! The Elegance Service check in was quick and easy, we got into our room right away and our building was closest to the beach. There was no shortage of things to do and the staff and service was impeccable. The room was large, the cleaning staff superb and the resort grounds were beautifully manicured. The Sea and See [... read more] breakfast and lunch buffet was all you need and the a la carte restaurants provided nice alternatives to main buffet with wonderful friendly servers. Highly recommend this resort! We loved the lobby bar and the servers were both entertaining and very nice. Top shelf!

Grand Palladium Palace Resort Spa and Casino: Great Resort !

We were very pleased from the moment we arrived to the Grand Pladium Palace .The staff was extremely warm and friendly . Although our room was not ready when we arrived we were advised of which restaurants we could go to and our luggage was well taken of . Very shortly after our room was ready and we were very pleased .The room was as exactly shown online and very clean . The resort accommodated our requests to be close to the pool and beach . The food was great , lots of choices and entertainm [... read more]ent each night . I would definitely visit this resort again !

Riu Republica: Vacation Oasis!

I recently stayed at Riu Republica for 5 nights. This was my very first ever vacation out of my country, very first all inclusive resort. Best time ever, great food, great service, will certainly return!!

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: The perfect holiday

Beautiful resort with friendly, attentive staff. The rooms were spacious with very comfortable beds. There were an abundance of dining and beverage options each with service that went above and beyond. The best a la care dining I've had at any resort. The Club upgrade is worth every cent, from the VIP lounge, private swmiming pools to the Butler and Room Service it was nothing but first class service. Outstanding property in every way.

Occidental Punta Cana: Occidental Grand,Punta Cana D.R.

Dissapointed that room requested...Ground Floor, Ocean Front,2 beds,turned in to3rd floor room with 1 king bed.We were promised that we would be moved the next day.An appointment was made for2:00 p.m.Some time later we were contacted and told they would be there at 4:00 o'clock.That time came and went and no one came.We decided we we're' the going to spend our holiday waiting for someone to come .We found out we were far from the only people promised rooms we didn't get. Our Nexus rep did a p [... read more]oor job of informing us about the amenities avalaible to us as first club members.Told us we needed to talk to front desk,about accommodation....no help at all

Now Garden Punta Cana: Love this resort❤️

We stayed at Now Garden. Very small and quiet but great food and staff all were very nice. Took 1 minute shuttle over to Larimar for beach and restaurants. Food was amazing at these restaurants and like that you don't have to have reservations. Only thing we didn't like were the exclusive members approach. Didn't know anything about it and were kicked off beach the first day we were there as you have to be a member. We moved 10 feet down the beach. This was a joke. All the staff everywhere we [... read more]nt above and beyond to help you. Love this place and would definetely return❤️

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Super Amazing Trip!!!!

what a WOW place!!! the grounds are beautiful, the rooms are very comfortable, the food was fantastic, and the best part of the trip....... the staff!!! So many amazing smiles!!!! I would definitely recommend the Royalton Chic to anyone interested in traveling!!!!!

Ocean Blue and Sand: Fantastic Resort

Beautiful resort and amazing staff, beach,pools and food were incredible and loved the idea of no reservations required for a`la carte restaurants. Our room was spotless everyday thanks to our maid Francesca who was very friendly and lovely to talk with .Theatre shows could use some work . Definitely a 4.5 star resort .

Occidental Punta Cana: Nice resort

Food needs improvement house keeping is slow. Need more speaking English. The resort is beautiful over all. The beach could be more groomed. I don't think I would go back. The hotel is very nice. The shows were really good. Drinks well you know.

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: A nice four-day getaway

The grounds were well kept at this resort. We loved the fact that it was smaller - felt more intimate and not so much walking to do to get everywhere. Pools were beautiful and beach area was too. Would have liked the restaurants to be open for lunch too for more variety, but the buffet was good for lunch.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Like going home

This is not our first stay at the Barcelo Palace in Punta Cana. We go there because we need to rest and relax . The rooms are always clean, food always wonderful and the staff are lovely. Next year we will be going back but for longer. We love our Dominican Palace, it's like going home

Riu Republica: Garden view rooms are not garden view

I was very disappointed that I was put into a room that overlooked the laundry facilities of the hotel next door, plus there was always a loud generator sound. It was not pleasant sitting on the balcony and I continuously left my curtains shut. Two of the friends I was travelling with also had the same experience. They 'haggled' with the front desk (wasted a 1/2 a day) and they were moved to a much nicer location. I didn't want to waste a beautiful sunny day negotiating so just stayed put for th [... read more]e week. On the positive side, the maids did a great job! I enjoyed the food and was happy not to have to make reservations. The wine was the worst I have ever had and I have been to several resorts. I only drink wine so this was another big disappointment. I could hardly wait to get back to have a nice glass of cabernet-merlot. Had I of known, I would have purchased some at duty-free. An improvement could be made in expanding the number of washrooms in the public areas (especially by the pool) -- three is not enough for the ladies and there was always a line-up. The dining room staff were excellent when we were first seated but never came back to see if we needed refills on our water, etc, and we are generous tippers. We always had to flag someone down. They were great at the a la carte. We loved the entertainment staff. I sure hope this helps to make improvements for others travelling to the Riu Republica. I, unfortunately, will never book there again.

Nickelodeon Hotel Punta Cana: Great hotel

The hotel was beautiful and the beach was nice except the water was rough and the service was terrible. They were booked to capacity and I think they couldn't handle it. The restaurant were nice but there was not enough staff and it was very slow. We went to the character breakfast and the kids enjoyed it but it was not worth paying for (ours was included)
