Dreams Cap Cana Resort and Spa: Relaxing Cap Cana

Just back from Cap Cana let’s start with Negative the beach is unusable due to rocks , we knew this so not a big deal.The restaurants had a schedule posted you did know what nights open . The food was very good ,no reservations needed and if not full stop in another one or order seconds. We went to the Italian twice everything was amazing try the rib pizza. The buffet was good and well laid out. We had a swim out room it was big enough and clean with a safe. Housekeeping was great . Pools are hu [... read more]ge lots of beds and loungers, we got involved with entertainment people we had a blast. Service at bar some might say slow but all drinks are made as ordered not out of a slushy machine.Domingo,Evelyn, Luis and Madeline were all happy to serve you drinks. Romone at beach snack bar was awesome brought you food asap to the pool. Jose , Carlos , kept us busy at pool …All in I would go back in a heartbeat , yes some locals come on weekend but nothing to stress about

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Not a 5 star

Definitely not a 5 star. This was a long-awaited family vacation. Since I was traveling with my adult son, I specifically requested a room with two beds. Upon arrival, we were given a room facing a brick wall, with a single king bed. The room was in noticeable need of renovation, as were many others we saw at the resort. The door was covered in dirty fingerprints, suggesting it hadn’t been cleaned properly. Additionally, the room had no electricity because there was no key card in the slot — me [... read more]aning no lights or functioning air conditioning, even though it was 36°C outside. I immediately raised these concerns with the front desk. I was told there were no other rooms available, but I could move to the Ambar section for 50% off — an offer I declined. I reiterated that I had made a request for two beds well in advance. While I understand that special requests aren’t guaranteed, I didn’t feel I was asking for much. The front desk agent simply shrugged and said there was nothing he could do. I asked to speak with a manager, and was told the manager had left for the day. However, after explaining my situation further, someone — possibly the manager after all — was able to move us to a nicer pool-view room with two beds. While the rooms are spacious, the housekeeping left much to be desired. Since the water isn’t safe to drink, we had to keep requesting bottled water. There always seemed to be something missing: towels, face cloths, coffee creamers, coffee machine was never emptied and washed, etc. It’s understandable if something is forgotten once, but when you have to repeatedly ask throughout the week, it becomes frustrating. The resort itself is very large, and shuttles are necessary to get around. Unfortunately, they don’t come as often as advertised, and when they do, they’re often full. It takes patience to catch one you can actually board. The beach is beautiful but can be seaweedy at times. That said, the staff does an excellent job keeping it clean. However, the constant interruptions from beach vendors become tiring. While I respect that they are trying to earn a living, it gets irritating when asked repeatedly to purchase something after already declining. Particularly bothersome were the people with parrots who, without consent, place birds on you while trying to relax. That level of intrusion is simply unacceptable. Service at the Sports Bar is as nil. We asked to watch the Montreal Canadiens game and after 5 minutes it switched to the Toronto game. I guess their guests from Montreal are not worthy of watching their team. We asked them to switch it multiple times and it never was. The head bartender could not care less about servicing his guests. Spanish soaking guests received preferential treatment. The restaurants were average — nothing particularly memorable. The pool areas were clean, and the entertainment staff did a great job. In contrast, the staff at the beach towel hut seemed uninterested in helping and rarely smiled. It always seemed like we were interrupting his chit chat with another employee. Overall, most of the staff were kind, helpful, and pleasant — and their efforts were appreciated.

TRS Turquesa: Fabulous

My family and I had a wonderful time at this resort, I’m sure we will return in the future, they could use some extra attention with the public washrooms at all the connecting resorts. I absolutely loved how clean the pool was at our walkout room

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Nice resort

There was some positives and not so postives. The grounds were well kept, our room (corner swim up) was spacious and clean. We enjoyed our afternoon swims. We are not foodies, but precooked our food ahead of time, with the dinner slots that fit our needs. We really enjoyed M.E.A.T and Limbo..the other ones were good, but those two were our favourites. The beach was crowded, so to find a shaded area was impossible..even if nobody showed up for hours…a little disappointed, so we did not spend [... read more] to long there, as it got very hot. The vendors on the beach could sometimes be a little pesky, but you get it everywhere. I did not use the big pool, as I enjoyed our swim up. The negatives… Some staff were not so friendly, drinks were very strong and lots of bugs, a lot of loud Spanish music blaring throughout the day..seemed to play the same music..if you are not a cat person, might want to stay clear…lots of them..we had 7 on our deck, one morning. Overall, a nice resort…

Dreams Flora Resort and Spa: Fantastic Resort

The grounds are beautiful and clean. The staff is beyond friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the food is good with lots of variety. This was our second time in two years coming to this resort and we loved it the second time as much as the first. Would highly recommend the Dreams Flora.

TRS Turquesa: Amazing

Everything was fantastic from check in to check out ! Staff amazing , rooms were beautiful! Great service from butlers to drivers , cleaning service , waitresses , bartenders pool staff ! We had swim up room and was amazing Great food great service great friends Cant wait to go back Highly recommend

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Amazing resort

A great experience not to forget. Everything went as planned. Thank you trip central. Flights as scheduled, hotel shuttle well organized, hotel accommodation and service top of the line, daily activities and tour guide all great.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Don't waste your money - Would not go back to this resort

Nothing but trouble from the moment we got into our room. Air conditioning didn't work, TV broken, sliding door wouldn't close and app for dinner reservations wasn't working. Took 3 days and 2 complaints to the front desk to get someone to fix A/C. Spoke to guest services and she got the manager involved. He offered us a new room and "Privilege upgrade" for our troubles. After being locked out of our room that we needed to get into to pack up and move to the new room (maintenance had to come dis [... read more]mantle door lock and reprogram so we could get in), new room had more problems than the first. Most of the upgrades that came with "Privilege" we didn't get and the room we were moved into had less amenities than our first. It was a downgrade rather than an upgrade. They were supposed to plan something for my husbands birthday as part of this "privilege" and all they managed to execute was a banner on our door. The special restaurant for his birthday didn't acknowledge us or his birthday and we left without anything special happening. I have been to several resorts in the Dominican and I would rate this a 2 out of 5 and that is being generous. Do yourself a favour don't waste your money on this resort. The lawns looked nice since they worked on them from morning to night every day and outside of the buildings were getting a fresh coat of paint everyday but they should take some of that budget and work on keeping rooms functioning. This was not the place for rest, relaxation or most of all DE-STRESSING - its the total opposite. Many others we talked to there had issues with their rooms and with the app. So if going by looks is your thing and not function Ocean Blue and Sand has got that.

Royalton Hideaway Punta Cana: Great/Bad

Just got back from this resort have stayed here three times in past years. First time great Dennis the best Butler you could have attentive. Second time it was due to Air Canada strike ruined plans to Europe we settled for what we knew. Stay was ok but food appeared on repeat service gone down and noted weekend was packed with as per staff “family and guests from the area” and the resort turned into massive party. The rooms clean never an issue with that. I slipped in water outside the coffee sh [... read more]op injured knee and thought it would be ok limped for the rest of the trip but still have injury to knee. This third time here a last minute trip as we canceled Italy due to flooding and protests we came back to what we knew again had heard the resort had renovations done and better now. Dennis going on leave home still arranged part of stay for us before he left. The food ok again but we got sick last day diarrhea and vomiting gonna say it was probably the salad we did eat that and I don’t normally as I advised by friends that salad washed in regular water but you can’t brush your teeth with it?? Been sick for three days now had to miss work and also fell outside the same coffee shop due to water again same knee in pain again. Reported the incident to Butler he said to go to guest relations but after reading reviews of guest’s that had been injured and the horrible ordeal they had reporting the incident I decided not to go through with it. I was not going to leave the resort pay for cab to hospital when they say not safe to leave resort. I mean marble floors everywhere!! They need a designated person mopping up water outside that shop or a rug. Somebody’s gonna get badly injured there. I seen several people slipping throughout the resort almost hitting the ground. I hope they take this review serious and do something about this risk. The beach wiped out apparently by rough seas just before we got there. I mean it happens they had a break wall in place ocean still beautiful. The amount of non guests walking up off beach and sitting in the diamond club beach area no bracelets getting free drinks and food maybe family and friends?? I noted one security guard on beach one day he walked by never seen any the rest of trip.The amount of merchants trying to sell you everything from massages to hair braids to jewelry and wooden carvings is crazy!! Then you go back to your room and get staff badgering you to book things?? It’s nuts!! I feel it’s not a vacation anymore. The shows usually posted somewhere now it’s word of mouth by staff. Used to have a show every night. That has turned into movie about americas best singers and a pirate movie.There was a heavy rainfall one night took out the front entrance of the Dorado restaurant that was the main restaurant for the hideaway guests where we were but they repaired it over 24 hours!! Impressive!! The pools including swim ups water levels very low below filtration levels. I would say some of the staff make your stay welcome and the sunsets amazing but for the price we paid and that was a last minute deal as we had originally booked to go to Europe again but unfortunately there was flooding and protests so we opted to what we knew again. I suggest if you go here take regular room not in Hyde away area don’t pay for diamond club as its not managed and the Hyde away pool small and packed with guests not managed by staff either. The pool water in all pools is like 38 degrees. I suggest get in the swim up pool to cool off that’s where we went. The room service menu has little food on it and used to be 24 hours at royalton but now until 11 pm..Pay as little as you can for this resort otherwise save your money go somewhere else. We will not go back there,

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Great Family Resort

Our stay at dreams Onyx was a great experience overall, starting with Airport pick up. It was a nice surprise to see newer transit vehicles versus the traditional big bus. When we arrived, we were greeted and had a seamless check into our room. The staff at this resort is fantastic. The only disappointing part of this trip was the arcade, when booking an all inclusive resort based on a family stay you assume games and such would be included just like the water park is included. The arc [... read more]ade was very nice, but came at a very steep price.

Grand Bavaro Princess: Good Resort, Very nice resort

Amazing beach with very little seaweed, great food and selection, also guest services was helpful Only critique is the buffets lacked service, you just walk in and find your own table which was weird

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Memorable stay at Royalron Bavaro

My stay at the Royalton Bavaro was excellent from the first minute. We arrived at the hotel and the check in was seamless. We were able to be close to our family friends and immediately, we went for our breakfast and the vacation started. The rooms were great, food and drinks were everywhere and the service was great. Our butler, Manuel Delacruz made our stay memorable as he went above and beyond our expectations without hesitation. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Beautiful Resort

This resort was beautiful! The rooms were clean and spacious, the grounds were well maintained. The pool was beautiful, although crowded at times and availble lounges were difficult to find. The staff was very efficient, the variety and quality of drinks was excellent . There was a great choice of restaurants and most of the food was great.

Secrets Tides Punta Cana: Fabulous Resort

This hotel was beautiful. Everything top notch. Pools were so nice. Everything is modern, clean and very comfortable We ate at all the restaurants and we had no complaints. Never had to wait in line and didn’t have to wait in lines. Glad we upgraded to preferred. Our butler was amazing and very helpful

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: Great resort and very affordable!

This resort was exactly what it was promised! It was beautiful, food was great, it had a children’s play area. The only things that could improve were the kids pool were too warm , the bathroom didn’t have a complete door or screen that separated it from the rest of the bathroom so water would get out and the kids place had a trampoline that was closed :( other than those it was WONDERFUL! Definitely recommend

Riu Republica: Absolutely NOT

View wise it’s a nice sight.. but the whole place smells of mold especially the club it’s toxic! Most the rooms are leaking,alcohol is watered all the way down. Lastly I got food poisoning for days !!

Royalton Punta Cana Resort: Review of Stay from Sept 27 to Oct 3rd 2025- Royalton Diamond club

Hotel, accommodation, grounds, beach, food, staff was all excellent EXCEPT THE BATHROOM Bathroom OLD and not to standard. Sink was spewing water on the mirror when tap was running. *Shower: MOLD and Mildew, dirty looking. When taking a shower, water leaks out to the floor. Needs to be totally refinished to be acceptable. Toilet, bolts were missing the cover and it was black and nasty looking.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Mediocre resort

This is definitely not a 5 star resort. Not very good amenities.rooms were a little dated.nickel and dimed for everything. No activities for kids outside the lazy river.definitely overated and will not be going. Back

Zemi Miches Punta Cana All Inclusive: Great resort

This is a great resort hotel it will be even better when it is completed. It is one hour 20 minutes away from the airport a long drive. All the staff was super friendly big smiles try hard to speak English. Our favourite restaurant was the Italian and the sports bar. The bartender Abby was super. Socrates helped my wife out she had an upset stomach he brought her sparkling water lime and bitters it helped. Daniel the server at the pool was great super friendly and very likeable. All the staff f [... read more]rom the front desk to the lobby bar the spa girls the coffee shop the buffet were so nice. The one staff member we were sad to leave was Yueri aka super man he was great at his job but such a nice person we loved talking with him. We would definitely recommend this hotel. Thankyou Zemi Miches

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Fantastic Stay

Recently spent 5 days in Dominican at the Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar. Honestly I have really nothing bad to say about our stay. The food was fantastic with lots of options, we got a massage which was great and we had a private dinner on the beach which was very personal and romantic. The adults pool was a bit quiet during the day. Unless something was going on there was no music so we just started bringing our own speaker. The compound is massive, we barely saw any of it. I would have like [... read more]d to do more of that but honestly we didnt have a reason to. Yurta was one of the best restaurants to eat at. But honestly even the buffet is pretty rockin' The hotel mini fridge can be stocked as much as you want but if you plan to do any drinking in your room it may be easier to just grab a bottle of duty free on your way in.
