Ocean Blue and Sand: Nice Vacation

We had a wonderful tune at the resort. It was a very nice atmosphere. The entertainment staff worked hard to make it fun for all. It was a relatively small property compared to some but large enough to have all the ameneties. I did not like getting up in the morning to reserve chairs by the pool, but I think that is relatively common if it matters to you. All in all we were happy we came.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Beautiful resort

The resort was beautifully maintained. Grounds lovely, main lobby and public spaces very clean. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We liked the size of the resort and loved the beach for walking. The beach was clean, close to bars/dining, restrooms and lots of shade available if desired. We participated in some of the activities around the pool and enjoyed them very much.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Amazing resort!

Dear Jennifer: Everything was great. Even the air travel was smooth. Only thing is I was sick almost the whole time we were there. Had nothing to do with the hotel. I was sick the day before we left. That's why it was just so nice to visit the different pools, bars & restaurants. Although I enjoyed the pools the most. And yes there is a lot of walking, that's why I picked Cofresi. There was one older lady with a cane walking up a set of stairs. Hope she made it. Lots of stairs [... read more]. But yes I will go back. Maybe next year when I feel better.

Paradise Playa Dorada: great resort-no major problems

The grounds. and hotel were very nice. Excellent staff. Good variety of food.The Italian and Eden restaurants required reservations and were very acceptable with great wait staff-very accommodating. I would go back there.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Great resort!

The resort is new and very clean. The beds and pillows are so comfy. Good food.I have sensitivities and there were a lot of options. Pool side was fun with events, entertainment, lazy river. I really liked the gym- also Elanny makes poolside exercising so entertaining. Spa was great. Evening entertainment shows, casino. Not a lot for teens. More of a family resort. I was there with my 2 teens and they were not bored.

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: Amazing Resort

The grounds, pool and common areas were very clean. The staff were extremely friendly and accomodating. Everything was within walking distance to your hotel rooms. I.e. The pools, buffet and the beach were all close together without feeling cramped.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: We had a fantastic stay!

My boyfriend and I stayed at this resort from may 14-21, 2019. We had a fantastic stay at Blue Bay Villas Doradas. Room: 4/5 Everything in the room worked as it should, it was very spacious for a super saver room. We expected to get a smaller, less equipped room for the cheaper price but it was above our expectations. The only criticism is that it could have been cleaner as the floors were a little dirty when we arrived. Food: 4/5. There was always great variety and you could find something d [... read more]elicious at every buffet visit. The food at the beach bar was the least preferred as some of it seemed like leftovers/wasn’t that fresh but it was still flavourful. Atmosphere: 5/5. It was very chill and easy to relax at the beach and they also had a quiet pool. It grounds around our room were also quiet. If you wanted to party, the pool was the place to be as there was entertainment every day. The grounds were also very clean and beautiful. Service: 3/5. The largest criticism would be the service at some of the bars. There were some bartenders that weren’t very friendly. It seemed they only gave good service to people who they were friends with or tipped the most. Also, many of the bars were very slow and seemed understaffed. But we were on vacation and weren’t in a rush so it didn’t spoil our moods. Overall, we had a great time would definitely return.

Tropical Deluxe Princess: amazing beach, resort is mediocre

Stayed at the Tropical Princess and you get what you pay for. Property and grounds are very nice, the beach is exceptional, soft beige sand for miles in either direction from resort. This is defiantly a two tier resort, Tropical princess desperately needs some upgrades and maintenance, Caribe Club Princess definitely gets more attention to higher attributes but I am sure the pricing reflects this. Food in the general buffet is a 6 out of 10 unless you eat in the A la cart Restaurants of which  [... read more]you only get access to 2 when you stay at the Tropical but 5 if you stay at the Caribe Club. Would not recommend the Tropical Princess side of the resort but may recommend the Caribe Club side.

Paradisus Punta Cana: Great All Inclusive Resort in Punta Cana

This was an excellent all inclusive resort, with amazing grounds, beach, and restaurants. The food was better than any other all inclusive resort we have been to. I was especially impressed with the VIP Royal Service "lapalapa restaurant". The drinks were good too! I really liked the friendly staff as everyone was well trained and very friendly, going above and beyond the call of duty. The affiliated golf course was fine, and we even ventured to the other Palma Rheal Paradisus resort whic [... read more]h was an hour long walk on the beautiful beach. The lady that was on site the week of the 14th in charge of the fitness was also excellent by conducting Tabata fitness session on the beach. Thanks Paradisus for a great holiday

Grand Bavaro Princess: Perfect holiday

Beautiful resort. The grounds were well taken care of on a daily basis. The staff was fantastic. Our 4th time at this resort. We brought my sister for her 1st all inclusive and she was very impressed! The only item is that the rooms are a bit dated, other than that we could not have asked for a more relaxed and pampered holiday!

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Great resort

This was a really nice resort. It was large enough to not feel cooped up but small enough that we could give our nine year old some freedom. The pool was lovely and well maintained. The beach was nice And staff brought you drinks regularly 😁. Food was great. The restaurants were lovely and we didn't have to ever wait. The staff were extremely friendly. We would recommend this resort!

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Awesome place

Gorgeous grounds, food was fantastic lovely rooms, the staff was invitting and helpful Went on snorkeling tour, it was so fun and entertaining. This is a great place for family or couple vacation. Pool was beautiful and the wild life that lives there is spectacular.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Great Vacation!

Ocean Blue and Sand is a beautiful resort with beautiful staff. This is our second time visiting this resort. I do have to say that they are under staffed. When we arrived at the resort we were over an hour waiting in the check-in line. Also, they are under staffed in the restaurants. The staff work so hard and are running around to accommodate us but they just do not have enough staff to keep up with the people staying here. The managers need to know that these are not minor things.  [... read more]These issues make a huge impact on whether or not people will come back. The food is absolutely amazing hats off to the chefs. There is a variety for everyone. Mike's cafe is another little treasure that is amazing, you can get a variety of teas, espresso, cappuccinos, lattes, fraps, etc.. The grounds are gorgeous and well groomed, the workers keep everything so nice and beautiful. The pool is awesome and very clean. The beach is also beautiful but they have put these big sand barriers to block the waves as it has eroded some of the beach. You can walk along the beach for hours both ways. The rooms are spacious but just another note to the owners of this hotel, it is time to start to renovate. That being said you spend so little time in your room. We had a great vacation and would return.

Impressive Premium Punta Cana: Impressive resort!

The staff at this resort proves to be hard working and most accommodating to all of its patrons.They are responsible for a most pleasant stay. The grounds and rooms are immaculate. All rooms are kept clean and supplies are never lacking. My concern for them is that the tourists are not tipping them for their hard work.

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Totally Top Drawer Resort

The luxury of space, attention to detail, staff that could not do enough for you - what was not to like? Excellent resort golf course - Pete Dye - on of the great golf course designers of his era. Restaurants were great - sometimes a bit cool - but I guess better that than too warm. Fabulous entrees and imaginative appetizers. We had a fabulous room with an ocean view. Thank you “Boom Boom” for you attention and caring about our stay with you.

Riu Republica: Something for everyone!

We loved the pools, the bars and buffet. Food was great and the service was impeccable. On the downside was the beach... chairs were unorganized stacked and blocked the ocean view from the shade areas. Seas can be rough so if you want an ocean swim it may be too rough. But we had a blast this place is huge, all ages and tons of activities. Nightlife was fun too.

Sunscape Puerto Plata: Amazing Resort

We had the most awesome time! Rooms were amazing! Very clean and all the equipment's were working. The personnel in the Hotel, restaurant, bar , entertainment , housekeeping to even the photo shop were incredibly friendly and helpful. We loved everything!

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Beautiful and clean resort

The hotel was new, modern and very clean. Grounds and public areas were cleaned constantly throughout the day. Housekeeping was great. Always fresh towels and linen. Replenished essentials daily. Shower was good. Lots of hot water and presure. King size bed and very comfortable. Dinning was good with lots of choices. Buffet, and 3 al la cartes(steak house, Italian and Tappanyaki and sushi bar. Other options at Tropical Avenue. Pools and beach cleaned daily. Lots of loungers, but get your spo [... read more]t early. Loungers go fast.

Playabachata Hotel: Okay resort for$ but needs improvements

Dining was just ok,(Alcart restaurant was ajoke). Staff was great,but not happy with the new ownership. Beach ok, but could be improved. Nightly shows were not great . 3rd time at location Not sure if we will be back. Unhappy 19

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Great place BUT

My child contracted Hand-foot-and-mouth disease on the third day. This is a very contagious virus so it is obviously lurking all over this resort. We met other people whose kids got it too and found out after that there is an outbreak of this disease in Punta Cana, and has been for a few weeks already. We met people at the airport who stayed at different resorts whose kids were also infected. This REALLY spoils your vacation. And the worst part is - this is a known issue. Many children were seen [... read more] by a doctor and have confirmation notes of this disease. At the airport, the check-in agent knew right away what it was and told me to go straight to the doctor when I get home. We should have been notified prior to the trip of this outbreak especially given the young age of our children who are most at risk. For four out of seven days we stayed in our room watching movies because my daughter had a high fever and a painful, itchy rash. Huge waste of money for us. This resort is not cheap. Otherwise the place is pretty good and I would return. Great amenities. The food is ok. The rooms were not my favourite but that's probably because we stayed in ours so much that I had time to notice every little imperfection.
