Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Absolutely amazing

I was impressed with this resort from the minute we arrived. The food is amazing. The swim out room we booked was so worth it. The beach is incredible. I can go on and on about how beautiful it is at Ambar. The service and staff were great and I would definitely rate this hotel a luxury 5 star.

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Beautiful Getaway

This is a beautiful resort, very clean with exceptionally attentive personnel. We were treated like VIP guests the whole time We have only one concern which needs to be mentioned. There are two buildings to this resort. Upon arrival we were nor aware that our rooms where across the road a short ride from the lobby. From this building to the beach is roughly a kilometer. Fortunately my mother and I were able to be relocated to the main complex as it would be impossible for my mother to go bac [... read more]k and forth. My brother however had to stay at the other site. This aside, the food was very good with unlimited access to the a la carte restaurants. I would definitely recommend this resort but insist on a room in the main complex

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Great Vacation February 2019

I would highly recommend this resort to anyone. The staff were excellent, food was great and the pools and beach were awesome. I have already decided that this is one resort I will be returning to in the future

Ocean El Faro: Ocean el faro

This hotel was beautiful. Staff was amazing and good was delicious. Although it is still not complete you were not aware of the interruption. The landscape was beautiful. The casino was still not opened but the rest of the entertainment was.

Vista Sol Punta Cana: Resort is absolutely beautiful!!

This hotel is gorgeous!! You couldn’t ask for anything more. It is a perfect size, as it is not too large but certainly not small by any means. The pools are clean with ample room for everyone. Beach was STUNNING!! Very clean and tons of chairs for everyone. We were a large group and never had a problem finding space. Good was fantastic, especially the Mexican and Asian a la cartes!! My only complaint (and certainly didn’t hinder our vacation) our check in was a bit upside down unfort [... read more]unately and did not go smoothly but was eventually sorted out... otherwise I truly couldn’t say enough good things about the staff! Bartenders and entertainment were always great!

Dreams La Romana: Impeccable Service

With the recent renovations the rooms are fresh and clean. All of the grounds and pools are well kept and the staff are amazing. Can't say enough about the service level we received - my expectations are now high because of how good it was. The food was also really well done, the buffet was always stocked - regardless of time and if you went to a la cart - the waiters were fantastic. There were renovations still ongoing when we were there - we honestly did not even notice they were working a [... read more]nd it didn't impact our stay at all. This resort also has one of the best/involved entertainment teams. Something for everyone, funny, interactive and scheduled in multiple locations if you preferred the beach over the pool.

Riu Republica: RIU Republica

The hotel was very modern and clean. Pools were very nice and the beach very well kept. The restaurant were disappointing. Food was not what you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Most restaurant were buffets and the food was not very good.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Great vacation

I have stayed at many Grand Bahia hotels and was not as impressed with this one. Although the grounds were beautiful and the rooms were very nice, the service at the buffet was not great. We would literally sit there some mornings, eat our entire breakfast and yet had not been asked if we wanted coffee. We went down there to celebrate our friend's 30 anniversary and three times in the week, their room was not cleaned and we had to go to the front desk on three occasions to complain about issu [... read more]es. The drinks were okay but not the greatest.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Nice Hotel - Amazing Beach!

Second time to this resort and feel it was actually better last year. They are under new management and are changing things but didn't seem for the better. (Food is far more repetitive than last year). Upon reserving I have made notations on the file and then called a Trip Central Rep to make sure my ground floor request was noted due to mobility issues, and I asked for a particular building, plus a few other requests. Upon check-in, they told me there were no requests on my file and that they  [... read more]were putting me on the 3rd floor. I advised them I could not do the 3rd floor, and after going into the back room 3 times and 40 minutes later, I got a room but totally not what I requested. You would think they would take care of repeat guests!! On the good side, the Beach is Incredible and the grounds are maintained by a very set of hard working people!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Almost a five star

My wife and I just got back from Ambar - stayed February 22 to March 1, 2019. We very much enjoyed our vacation there and really had no major issues come up during our stay. Room - we had room 69205 which faced the back of the Royalton next door...not much of a view and we should have asked for a better room but didn't and so can't complain about that. The room was very spacious and renovated in November. The bathroom area is pretty much open where the shower is so don't expect to greet anybo [... read more]dy if someone is having a shower...no big deal for a couple. Shower is huge and loved the rain showerhead. Toilet is in it's own water closet. Room has a safe..fridge was stocked daily. We found the bed hard and asked for a topper to be put on the mattress..it took all of about 5 minutes from when I asked for it until the maid brought it to our room...that was fast. The topper helped a bit. Too many light switches in the room, it seems there is a switch for every light and there are a lot throughout the room so you have to try several to shut off or turn on the light you want. A/C - the A/C was a bit of a pain..I had to keep the fan on high for it to cool the room...otherwise the temperature would climb. In the middle of the night, the A/C fan would switch to low automatically and so we would wake up being hot so we kept the ceiling fan on....the ceiling fan has one speed - FAST. That was another irritant, not having different speeds available on the ceiling fan. Food - we ate at 5 of the restaurants with Limbo and Mashua Nikkei being our favorites. Portofino and MEAT were also good. The food at El Olivo was not that good. The buffet at Palmyra is very good, we had breakfast there every morning. One irritant was the obligation to make reservations, not being able to eat where and when we wanted...we have stayed at other resorts where reservations are not required and that is so much easier and simple for the guests. Staff - most are friendly and happy to help although we did have a few that were not. Language is sometimes a barrier if you do not speak Spanish (or even French) but we managed in English and French. Thanks to Miguel at the omelette station for his great service and smile everyday!! The staff at Palmyra were especially friendly - Luis, Miguel, Altagracia, Emile and the greeters too! Maura at the beach buffet was also friendly as well as Jeffry serving drinks on the beach. There were others but those are the names that I noticed. Booze - drinks were good and we often asked for doubles to help things along ...no Crown Royal so that was a bit of a downer...we had drinks at the lobby bar before supper every night and enjoyed that spot. They have caesars (not bloody Marys) which was a treat and they were pretty good too. Beach - the beach here is beautiful and seems to stretch forever. The Ambar has a very clean stretch of beach with workers raking daily. Beach chairs are numerous as well as palapas. Ice cream cart comes in daily close to the beach bar...a cool treat much appreciated!! We stayed at the beach since it's so beautiful and with the breeze was not as hot as the pool area. Gym - I worked out at the gym every morning and it was a pretty nice gym. While it is not huge, it has a good selection of new equipment and weights, treadmills, ellipticals and cycles. There is a yoga room with daily classes. Spa - we enjoyed a couples massage one morning, with a hot tub in our massage room first then the massage which was great. After I used the sauna then the cool pool and finally relaxed on a water bed. Hadn't used a water bed in years but that was a nice touch. No separate men's or women's section in the spa except the change rooms. The whole Bahia Principe is huge with the different resorts spread out throughout. The grounds are beautiful and well kept, great landscaping with workers all over the place cleaning, pruning, fixing, etc. If I could give the Ambar a 4.5 I would but that is not an option and it's not quite a 5 for me for the irritants mentionned above..nothing major but a few tweeks could be done. Thanks to everyone at Ambar for a wonderful vacation.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Amazing Resort Horrible Airline

This was the 7th time my wife and I have visited this resort, and we can't say enough good things about our experience. The facilities have been updated since our last visit, and the food / service remains outstanding. To bad we can't say the same about Sunwing. Our flight departed a hour and a half late despite the fact the plane was at the airport and the weather was fine. In addition to this they parked the plane as physically far from the terminal as possible. It was a 5 to 10 minute walk t [... read more]o the plane with a wind chill of -18C. My wife and I didn't pay to preselect our seats so they seated us apart on both the departing and return flights.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Would DEFINITELY return to this resort!!

We just got back from this resort and have nothing but great things to say! The grounds were beautiful and always clean, friendly helpful staff, never had to wait for ANYTHING, food was awesome, rooms were great and cleaned and stocked everyday. We never had a problem finding a place to lay Oceanside or poolside. The party pool was great for entertainment through the day and the quiet pool was very relaxed. The size of the resort was exactly what my husband and I like, I hate having to trolly ev [... read more]erywhere we go, which you don’t have to do here at all. Everything is walking distance. The night shows were entertaining and got the audience involved whir is always fun. They had a great live classic rock cover band one night and a lobby dance party another night. It was a tonne of fun. I unfortunately had to visit the medic on site who was amazing and helpful and kind. He made sure i got to the local hospital safely and was taken well care of. Overall, I would absolutely return here and recommend anyone to go here as well.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Amazing resort !

Wow is all I can really say. It was beautiful with a great location. Staff amazing, pools amazing, beach amazing. Very clean resort. Whenever we had an issue (self inflicted) they came right away! I would recommend this resort to anyone! Amazing for families , couples or group of friends. Things for all ages to do.

Secrets Royal Beach: AmaZing staff, clean resort, beautiful

The hotel itself was very clean, high end and modern rooms. The staff in my opinion was beyond amazing. Best customer service ever! Starting with Rudy (tamarindo), Juana (housekeeping) and Jorge (Buffet). These people gives the word “Customer Service” a new definition. Amazing people. The hotel invests so much in cleaning the pools, rooms, garden etc. The food is amazing, my wife and I didn’t get sick. It was quality food.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Large but Fabulous Resort with lots of action

Overall a great resort and I will return and recommend this resort to anyone who listens to me. We (my girlfriend and I) stayed at Grand Bahia Principe Punta Cana for 7 days starting Feb 23rd 2019. In short... we had a great time and we definitely will return to this resort. Positives - location was great and only 35 minutes from the airport ; beaches were beautiful and no seaweed on beaches; climate was 28 degrees Celsius everyday with a breeze off the water; drinks were flowing; food [... read more] was good and specialty restaurants were even better ... especially the steak place "On the Grill" ; pools were busy with lots of action and fun; entertainment was good; golf cart service to take you around this large resort if you don't want to walk; grounds were picturesque and immaculate; many ammenities such as gift shops, stores, gym, disco, casino, etc; felt like you were living in a tiny village; several public squares to sit and enjoy drinks/coffee/entertainment; just a great place to spend a vacation. Negatives - had to wait for a room at check in time ... waited approx 1.5 hrs ...they did a poor job communicating with us while we were waiting ...don't know the reason why we waited ... they did not give us options to go get a drink or enjoy the facility while we waited for our room. I think we had some mosquitos in our room ... my legs got bit quite a bit. Other than these small issues ... I can't say enough good things about this resort ... if you want to stay at a very busy resort with lots of people and tons of action ... this is the place to be !!!!

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Great resort

My wife and I had wonderful vacations in the Aquamarine Bahia principe hotels and resort. Staff is very nice the beach is clean . We have enjoyed every moment there. Food is good and the service is perfect

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Best Resort!

My mother and I loved the Now Onyx Punta Cana. The facilities and the beach were beautiful, the staff were exceptional and so friendly. We both found the food delicious, especially the a la carte restaurants. Very relaxing trip. We would definitely go back to this hotel! 10/10

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Good resort

Stayed on the family side and had no issues with kids, beautiful pool and beach, however water is a little difficult to enter and water is murky due to river located nearby . Wasn’t impressed with restaurants but the main buffet was good. Rooms are nice

Impressive Punta Cana: Beautiful resort

Very nice resort. The room was clean. Nice size room and bathroom. Nice balcony. The fridge was stocked daily. The grounds were kept up. Someone always cleaning the walkways and grass areas. The staff were pleasant. Especially the entertainment people. There's always something going on around the pool during the day. Nightly entertainment also. Would go back!!

Casa Marina Reef Resort: Review

I stayed at this resort 2 years ago and had a great trip. This time not so much. The Cleaning of the rooms sometimes took until 5 pm but they already have taken our towels so we couldn’t even shower for dinner. Replenishment of water and pop was hit or miss. We didn’t have hot water for 2 days. Getting a beach towel or loungers is tough. It was nice to see the lobby renovated and the restaurant. Used to have 2 buffets and now have one and had to wait in line many times. A la carte was good e [... read more]xcept we missed one as dinner was for 9 pm. The wait to book the a la carte was ridiculous. Buffet was basically the same food all the time. Could have had more variety. The weather was good and that was the break we needed.
