Bahia Principe Explore Turquesa: Good trip

Hotel , pools, food and rooms ok, staff very were very friendly and helpful. Kids enjoyed the water park and pools. Lobby bars were very busy the first few days as we had rain. We did however experience bed bug bits, though at the time we thought they were other bits, until got home. Overall all we got what we paid for, resort was very busy the week we stayed.

Riu Republica: Outstanding

Well let me start with amazing people,food,drinks , coco bongo. All the trips we went on were really fun and the tour guides were very good at there jobs no one was left behind sober or intoxicated. The locals are extremely friendly and kind. I would go back in a heartbeat. The resort was perfectly laid out.

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Beautiful resort

The rooms and grounds were awesome. The beach was terrific, the best snorkelling on Bavaro beach. The water got deep quite fast unlike some other resorts beaches but still amazing. Beautiful gazebo at beach ideal for weddings. The staff were also amazing.... Maids did a super job cleaning, gardeners did a terrific job grooming and cleaning, bartenders were fantastic especially Jesuito and Hector and Sugey at the colonial club beach bar. The food was good for the most part, some dishes we didn't  [... read more]like but could always find several good ones. We spent two weeks here in February 2017 and would highly recommend this resort.

Vista Sol Punta Cana: Very good Resort

The grounds at this Resort was well maintained and very tidy. The public areas was keep cleaned daily by the Staff. Room was a bit dated and there was problems upon arrival with our patio door lock broken, toilet didn't flush properly and musty smell. We reported this to the front desk, they fixed the items right away and put the ventilation system on which fixed the musty smell, they offered to give us another room the next day but we declined as they had fixed the items. We enjoyed the pool b [... read more]eing so close to our Room. The nightly entertainment started too late 10:00 - 11:00pm. Food at buffet was very good with different various dishes daily and the Gourmet Restaurant was great . Bring your face cloths, Resort uses hand towels fro face cloths.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Disappointing Resort

As a first timer to an all-inclusive resort I was not sure what to expect. I was happy with the location, the accomodations, the food, the beach and pool facilities. However, there were small issues that tainted the experience for me. Check in at the resort was a nightmare. Waiting in line to get to the desk for almost an hour is totally unacceptable, especially as I was travelling with my son and daughter-in-law and my 6 month old grandson. We had already had a long wait in lines at the ai [... read more]rport. It seemed if we wanted anything like change for our money or a change of room due to excessive noise, we had to really argue with staff to get anywhere. Service in some of the restaurants was not very good and in one of the restaurants the evening meal was a disaster. On the beach, which we were told was a public area, we had hotel staff tell us we could not put our chairs in certain areas. They put comfortable beds under certain umbrellas but there was no note indicating that if you wished to use these there was a $10.00 US charge per day. If you did not pay for the bed you were told you could not even put your beach chair in the same location as the bed. Not acceptable!!! Our party had a few other complaints so needless to say we will not be returning to this location.

Sunscape Dominican Beach: excelent two week stay

excellent beach,pools and buildings. Garden areas are being freshly planted daily and will grow up looking beautiful.Staff are friendly and always smileing and trying to help.Food was great and plentiful.

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: RELAXING RESORT

BEACH IS NICE NO PROBLEM TO GET A CHAIR TO SUN AND LOUNGE. POOL IS NOT OVERCROWDED LOTS OF PLACES TO SIT. LOTS OF STAFF TO WAIT ON YOU.GREAT RESORT IF YOU WANT TO RELAX AND HAVE QUIET TIME. AL A CARTE VENUES OKAY LIMITED WITH THEIR SELECTIONS FOOD OKAY.

Punta Cana Princess: Love this place !

Third year going. We keep going back and are never disapointed. All rooms are walking distance to the beach. Resort is Clean, beautiful. Staff are amazing, very friendly. Food is great. No complaints, will defiantly go back again !

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Amazing resort

Can't wait to go back. We had a very relaxing time, enjoying the beach and the pool. There was a wide variety of food available and their Italian restaurant Il capriccio, has my top vote! Cleaning staff did an excellent job and were always available to provide more towels, water, and coffee. Beach and pool bartenders were always friendly, dancing and singing along with the music. We enjoyed the dancers and their enthusiasm to teach us their dance routine.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Very fun resort

The resort has a lot to offer for any age group. Lots of entertainment at night and daily activities. The food & drinks were also great. The check in was pretty slow but other than that we had an amazing time. Not everyone speaks the greatest English but we managed fine. I would recommend this resort to anyone and would go again :)

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Nice Resort. Some things to consider

Ambar Green, very nice rooms, very clean. Beds are firm. Mini bar restocked and no issues. Beach: Very busy and tight space with chairs. Clean. Not a place to sit on the beach for quite relaxation as all chairs are within a foot or two of your unknown neighbour. Pool: Very nice clean and not many persons around. Bars: Good service and polite staff. Food: Very good A la carte. Buffet food nice selection and very good tasting. No issues with the food. Buffet Service staff: Terr [... read more]ible. No service for beverages, not fancy cocktails just a glass of water was overlooked morning,noon or night meals. Check in: Only 8 couples for check in and took over an hour. They were unsure if rooms were ready or not. This was arriving after the 3 pm check in time. Rooms still were not ready. There is construction on one side of the resort, (Ambar Blue and Green). This begins at 0800 and does not finish until 1900 hrs. There are dump trucks, bulldozers and diesel equipment running throughout the day. If not in a pool side room it is not an option to sit on your balcony without constant disruption of noise and fumes. We are not people to sit in a room but we had two days of rain so we were unable to use the balcony to read a book or enjoy a cocktail. The service issues were not major just disappointing and frustrating when you wanted a hot or cold non alcoholic beverage or just to get checked in after a long day of travel. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who books with a room on the construction side or someone who likes undisturbed relaxation on the beach.

TRS Turquesa: Just returned from Royal Suites by Turquesa

The beach is absolutely beautiful! We took a 45 minute walk every every morning. Delores does an amazing job serving the entire Royal beach! Although she works non-stop, on sunny days when the beach was busier she could have clearly used some help. If you have kids the water is a bit rough for them to play and would have to be very closely supervised. Lots of shade and sun available. Service is good, but language is a huge barrier. They barely speak English so do not go 'off script' as it ma [... read more]y seem that they are rude but they simply do NOT understand. 'Butler service' was included for us. Our butler Carlos was practically non-existent! He almost seemed annoyed when we asked him if he could book our reservations at the Steakhouse-to which he responded that we could not get a reservation because ALL Americans like steak? Not sure what he meant by that?! We later learned from another vacationer that the steakhouse was first-come-first-serve - and we simply walked in. Food: We really enjoyed the French restaurant for dinner. Fondue was amazing! Brazilian restaurant was just Ok and the steakhouse was very disappointing. The seafood, Mexican, and Spanish restaurants were good. The buffets were the typical all inclusive (even the Royal buffet). There was a good selection of drinks and they were quite good! It rained on Valentine's Day, so we decided to spend a few hours at the spa and used the facilities. It's free when staying at the Royal suites. We used the hot tub, steam room, sauna, even did a 'mud bath'. Lots of beds, towels and even its own healthy snack bar. No alcoholic drinks are served there. The property is spotless. They are always sweeping and mopping.

Tropical Deluxe Princess: Great family resort.

The staff was amazing. The rooms need updating but not bad. Had a few issues but they took care of it quickly. Took our 3 young daughters and we felt safe letting them run around on their own. Have to get up early to get pool or beach chairs. The beach towels were also hard to get, they never had enough clean and ready. They blamed the guest's for not returning them each night.

Vista Sol Punta Cana: Beautiful hotel and beach!

This was honestly one of the most beautiful resorts I have been to. The grounds were so amazing and the beach and ocean were perfect! The food was delicious and so many choices. Did the Italian and Mexican a la carte and both were great. I did have to upgrade my wine 🍷 but no complaints. I would definitely return to this resort!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Amazing Vacation

The resort is amazing. Always clean and the grounds pristine. Staff were so friendly and helpful. The abundance of staff was impressive. Our room was spotless and so comfortable. Food was fantastic. Everything we ate was delicious The selection of ala carte restaurants was very impressive. I highly recommend the Bahia Principe Ambar to anyone thinking of going to the DR. The extra it cost for the resort was well worth it!.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Very Disappointed

On a good note the Staff was wonderful, food was ok. Very disappointed with the rooms, we had requested a garden view room, and upon arrival we were given 2 rooms with a view of the main road and a fence. Because we arrived only at 6pm we were too tired to complain. The next morning we complained and were given other rooms with a better view but with 2 double beds and not a King. After changing rooms, we proceeded to the desk to book our reservations at particular Restaurants for the  [... read more]week, only to be told that all restaurants (Buffet excluded) were totally booked and the only times we could get were at 9pm or 9:15 pm, which being seniors was too late. We ended up eating every nite at the Buffet. with the exception of our last nite when I made a fuss and they told me to call the Restaurant we wanted directly to see if we could get in for 7pm. Upon arriving at this particular Restaurant there was a fuss at the door, but they finally let us in, only to realize 3/4 of the place was empty and when we left the Restaurant it was still almost empty. We were not very happy. That same day, with some people we met, ,we found out that people booked their Restaurant Reservations at the same time as their trip booking, which we were never told.!!! This is NOT a 5 Star Resort!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caribe Deluxe Princess: No snow in Punta Cana

Good walkable beach but a bit too wavy to make use of watersports. I emailed a room request in advance of my arrival and although they responded electronically they totally ignored my request. A/C was not the greatest. Most of the time it was 24 C in our room. It did drop to 23.5 once. Had it checked and they said it was perfect! Had the VIP which includes free room service and due to the fact that we had 3 rainy days (February 2017) we had some meals delivered :) You can dine in a la cart [... read more]es every night and can book every meal at once in the lobby (you need insect repellant in the lobby). Favourites were Mexican and Asian. We did not try Dominican on the advice of people we met. The Brazilian was just a lot of tasteless meat. VIP also gave us a meal in the seafood restaurant. We had lobster which was delicious and huge. Unfortunately my husband's was not fully cooked. Need to "reserve" your chair at the beach well before 9 am. VIP includes beach towels in your room and if you ask they will exchange them in the evening. We went to a couple of shows in the evening and they were better than we expected. Sunwing flight was delayed and Rep made no attempt to let us know that our hotel departure was changed. In hindsight, if I had data on my phone I would have received an email from Tripcentral at 7:45am. In summary, Punta Cana is a nice place to get away from winter and the resort was okay but I would probably try another resort in the future.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Awesome Resort!!!!

First thing, the Resort is spotless! The grounds are pristine! The rooms are spacious & clean. Buffett food is very good. Ala Carte food is even better! The beach is big & beautiful. The pools were clean & big. The staff were helpful & friendly. All in all my experience was extremely enjoyable and fun. I would not hesitate to recommend the Luxury Bahia Principe Amabar resort to anyone! Actually I already have! Great Resort!!!!!

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Fabulous Vacation!

This is an awesome resort with everything you need for a great vacation. The beach is amazing! The restaurants and food are very good. The activities staff are energetic and we found all of the staff friendly and willing to help. There is always something to do. While there were little things that were inconsistent, we really have nothing bad to say about our stay at this resort. The grounds are clean and well maintained. Just watch out for the slippery walkways and floors.

Riu Republica: Beautiful Resort

It was a beautiful resort, everything was very clean, people were very friendly and worked very hard. Food was great. The beach was very nice. But I was surprised that there was not any life guards at the ocean. The ocean was very rough most of our stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
