Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Great Value!
We had a great time at Blue Bay. For a small resort, it's well-appointed with amenities. The beach is beautiful, the food was great, and the staff were terrific. It was more of a party resort than I had anticipated, so if you like an afternoon nap make sure you get a room away from the main pool. ;)
Be Live Experience Hamaca Beach: Two and half hours away from Airport!
Main concern about this hotel is that Airtransat flies to Punta Cana which is about 2 and 1/2 hours away from airport. Why can't Airtransat land closer airport - SantoDomingo? I stayed at the Gardenview location which they are the buildings behind the main hotel. Rooms very simple king bed, TV and view of pool, walk-in shower hot water, air conditioning. Value for your money, great food. Beach is spectacular for swimming.

If you are looking for an Adult Only, small resort then this is the place for you.......there is always lots of staff to look after you and they are very friendly. For a small resort there are plenty of food choices. We look forward to returning sometime in the near future.
Bahia Principe Grand Samana Roulette: Absolutely Beautiful
We really loved the location of this resort - Bahai Principe Samana Cayacoa. A 45 min. drive from the airport brought us to a mountainside property with a lovely view of the town across the water. The choice of several different pools and 2 beaches made every day by the water a little different which was quite nice. Our room was standard Bahai-type room with a great view, large patio and was extremely clean. We found the buffet a little smaller than other resorts, but the hotel itself is not lar [... read more]
TRS Turquesa: Not a 5 star
To start with the positives, all staff were friendly, especially the bar staff and the drinks were of premium quality. I went with friends and had a fun time. However, food was mainly cold and of not good quality and the service in some of the restaurants was bad or at least hit and miss from one day to the next. Rooms were old and worn, chipped furniture, mold in showers, filthy toilet door and bathtub, rusty bathroom fixtures and the mattress was awful, very uncomfortable to sleep on. [... read more]
Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Wonderful vacation at Dreams Palm Beach
Wonderful vacation at Dreams Palm Beach. The grounds are beautiful and so well kept. The staff are polite, friendly and very accommodating - anything to help you. Exceptional service by Joanna at the lobby bar and Irwin at the pool bar. Francisco kept us laughing every time we saw him. The food is great and the buffet has something new to offer each day including a special food station for children. The chef prepares a new dish pool side each day in a huge paella pan. Even offers a cooking lesso [... read more]
Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Excellent Resport
I would give this place a 10 out of 10. The rooms were fine, clean. The grounds were well kept, no litter laying around. The food was excellent in the buffet and the snack bar. The three al carts restaurants served excellent food. All the waiters and servers were very pleasant and were always there to help you. Activities were great. The pool was always clean and lots of lounge chairs to sit on. I will be going back and would recommend this resort to anyone looking
Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Wonderful Relaxing Resort
The grounds on this resort are outstanding....the beach is absolutely beautiful!.....staff are very friendly and helpful....food selection is varied...sure to find something for every pallet.....For those wanting more activities or night life....the Bávaro Palace provides that just a short walk away.....Bávaro Beach provides a quiet relaxed environment for adults wanting to just get away and chill out.
Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort Adults: Melia Punta Cana Feb 2019
Overall the hotel was good with no major deficiencies. Grounds of the hotel were well maintained as was the pool area. The beach was large with ample lounge chairs and cover. Rooms were dated and average but clean and the bed was comfortable. Food was fine, we like the choice of “a al carte†restaurants for dinner as break from the buffets for breakfast and lunch. The resort was large and we were shuttled from the beach area rooms to the dinner restaurants in the evening, not a concern but a [... read more]
Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Amazing resort

Brought me a cake and sing me happy birthday right on the resort outside when it was singing and dancing. Food is awesome bring u drinks right on the beach no need to get up. Thank you Definitely recommend Dreams Palm beach
Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Great resort
Had a great time at now onyx Punta Cana. The rooms, property, and staff were all outstanding. In particular, the wait staff on the beach were great, especially Mariya. The food was very good, but on occasion it lacked a bit of quality. For instance, I ordered spaghetti bolognese at the Italian restaurant, Capers, and it was not very good. I asked my daughter to try it, and she said it reminded her of the canned spaghetti she ate as a child.
Barcelo Bavaro Palace: 3 couples, golf and fun
We returned from the resort on Sunday, March 3, 2019. This was our 2nd trip as we went last year too. I have to say we had not one complaint. The staff at this hotel are amazing, you can tell that they are treated well by management as they are happy to work there. Everything from check-in, housekeeping, food, bar service (Luz and Victor at the pool bar) was perfect. A few of the staff even remembered us from last year. We will return next year for sure. The hubbies loved the golf and the [... read more]

Had a problem to arrange La carte dinner for my husband's birthday manager Raul went out of his way making sure we got what we needed. Overall good resort.
Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Satisfactory Resort
Beach was beautiful, can walk for miles. Nice location because it was not too commercialized. The only resort in the area that I was aware of. Few concerns that we didn’t care for.... When we arrived they put our kids in a separate building from us even though we requested our rooms to be close. Only 2 pools and too many young kids (noisy and splashing). No swim up bar. Sometimes very slow to get a drink. Fridge and coffee maker in room broken and did not get fixed. Overall though we had a go [... read more]
Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Very good! But....
We enjoyed our trip in Grand Bahia Principe Punta Cana. Food is good 4.5 of 5 stars. Alcohol 3.5/5 *, it depends on bar you are drinking. The Beach is really good 4.5/5. The are some negative things. First, there is no WI FI in the room.... It's sad guys! Really sad. 4.5* hotel and you have to pay for WI FI? Secondly, some of the staff is not very friendly. It's kinda weird for me. But its only 5% max, so it's acceptable. To conclude, they have some points to improve. Good hotel, but a little bi [... read more]
Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: A big improvement from last year
We have been going to the Ambar every year for the past 10 years. This year they have upgraded this part of the resort to compete with the luxury resort market. We were very impressed with the upgrades and with the new swim up pool. The buffet food seemed better than previous years and the service was excellent.
Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Wonderful resort!!
Very well cared, nice staff, excelent accommodations!! My only complain is about Wi-Fi - it is not nice to have to refresh it every 24 hours and I had mine expired at 6pm the night before departure. Wi-Fi should be available all the time during the stay. When you are gone, you do not use it anymore. Food: buffet is sort of ok, A la carte - very good!
