Cayo Levantado Resort: Tropical Paradise

I was pleasantly surprised. The grounds at the resort are immaculate. It is very lush, the beach is small but we never had a problem finding chairs in the sun or shade under the many palm trees. The drinks are very good, and the service is excellent. The hotel is spread out so there is a lot of walking, or if you prefer you can take a cart around the resort.

Cayo Levantado Resort: Fantastic Holiday - Great Resort

My wife and I recently spent a wonderful week at Cayo Levantado with 3 other couples. We have been to the Dominican Republic many times in the past, a number of which were Bahia Principe resorts. I must say, this was my favourite spot. The island setting is incredible. We were all looking forward to a week of relaxation and "getting away from work", and the Cayo Levantado did just that. It allowed us to relax, have some good laughs (and a few beverages) and eat some excellent meals. The people  [... read more]there are very friendly, although there is a bit more of a language issue at this hotel than I have noticed at some of the other resorts that we have stayed at. We never had to search for someone to help us with directions, get a drink, etc. They were always there for us. The restaurants were very good, especially the Rodizio. I would highly recommend that you book this one a couple of times during your stay. The food was excellent, and plentiful. The Don Pablo is also a must during your stay. The morning buffet was very good, especially if you have the chefs make you up a special omelet or something else to your liking. Service by the staff was excellent. The grounds were beautiful. It didn't take you long to walk to anywhere, but if walking is not your thing, the tramcars were always there to take you to where you wanted to go. The paths were well kept and the greenery was immaculate. Lots to do around the beach. Kayaking and paddle boards are available every day (and included in the package). Lots of fun and a good workout if you have the desire to try to kayak around the entire island. We did the Zip Line adventure in Samana and it was excellent. It was my first time zip lining but the others that went had all done it before and said it was the best zip lining they had ever done. Good long runs (and many of them). The balance of the trip was very interesting as you got to see a lot of Dominican culture on your tour back to the resort. In speaking with other guests that we met, all of the tours (especially whale watching) were excellent value for your money. Overall, a VERY good trip and an excellent resort. People can always find fault in every place you stay, but there is very little to complain about at the Cayo Levantado. We will definitely look at coming back, and I have been preaching the virtues of this resort to friends and colleagues ever since I returned. Wish I was still there!!!

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Hard to Beat Views

There isn't really anything bad I can say about this resort. I have stayed at many resorts including Hard Rock in Punta Cana and this one was my faviourite. The views are just breathtaking and can't be beat. Because you are in a bay the ocean is always very calm, warm and great for swimming. The food was great and they always had a great selection. The one gourmet restaurant was by far the best and had the best steak I have ever had. We were in one of the villas which meant lots of stairs betwee [... read more]n us and everything else but the shuttles were pretty good so it wasn't too much of an issue. If you were older the stairs might be a problem but so long as you are in the main building you should be fine. The night shows were pretty good and they do have a Disco at night that I never went to but obviously places like Hard Rock would be better if you like the party scene but this place was perfect for us. Also even though the hotel was sold out, there was never more than maybe 10 people in the pool, almost never had any trouble finding a seat in the shade at the pool or the beach, and there was never a wait for the restaurants. Also the fact that the resort is right off the city is awesome and very different from any other resort I have ever been to. I will 100% be going back to this resort!

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Dominican nice retreat

The hotel was not too large so therefore not overly crowded on the beach. Overall the hotel was quite nice with 2 relaxing outdoor sitting areas. Buffet area was a little tight for space when trying to look at what to eat. You had the option of eating indoor outside which was nice option. It took sometime for tables to be set and serve beverages which from my perspective was due to the lack of servers not the quality of service. Food was good but not great. The house wine was not very good. Our  [... read more]room was large and clean but a little tired.

Cayo Levantado Resort: Great week with friends

The resort was beautiful, and both the rooms and common areas were kept spotless.The buffet food was good and the a la carte restaurants were very good. The beach was where we spent most of our time and had no trouble getting loungers .The pools were clean and refreshing when trying to cool off from the hot tropical sun. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Premium alcohol was hit and miss at the bars, but there was always plenty of drinks and specials available.I would rate this a 4.5 sta [... read more]r resort, as all 8 people in our group had a very enjoyable week.

Cayo Levantado Resort: Perfect holiday at an almost perfect resort

Best service and beautifully maintained. Perfect holiday but almost perfect resort. Only real complete is that the buffet food was always cold when I would eat it. Some bones in spaghetti sauce and the quality of buffet is so so. The a la caste were great. No complaints.

Bahia Principe Grand Samana Roulette: Very nice resort

Small hotel with very friendly staff . Beach is very small . Life music Entertainment on the terrace was very good . Food was very good and hotel was very clean . The water pressure in the bathroom shower was law and water was not very hot . Overall the resort was very nice and we were enjoying our vacation there .

Bahia Principe Escape Samana: Hidden Gem

Small hotel. All Superior rooms and junior suites have an ocean view. Beach is small, not condusive to water sports. Food was good, especially Don Pablo a la carte. David our butler was superb. Very good place to relax. Not much night life which was fine with us. An adult only which we love. Hotel is very clean, staff very friendly.

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Just what the Doctor ordered

This is a very beautiful, low key, easily assessible resort for all levels of mobility. The food was great, the service was over the top, and my husband and I had a wonderful time. The beach does experience some seaweed most days but the workers attack it with vengence. We were very leary with it being rated a 3 star, and we both often during our stay said we'd rate it a 4 - 4+. Everything far exceed our expectations. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Very tropical resort but lacked good service

Beautiful and well maintained grounds. Food was excellent and lots of variety. Rooms were nice and staff were pleasant. Only complaint is that resort was overbooked, and there didn't seem to be enough staff to handle the requests. There were long waits at the bar and the buffet. Forget about getting into any of the a la cartes unless you wanted to dine at 9 pm. Also lacked in entertainment; never saw any of the entertainment crew at all.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Beatiful Hotel and EXCELLENT STAFF.

The best thing about this hotel is the ANIMATION TEAM and their hospitality. The Bahia Principle had a wonderful buffet and variety for the inclusive package. I recommend the Italian restaurant on site as well, although I personally did not enjoy the others, with a party of (9) we had mixed reviews of the gourmet restaurants on site - but there are 3 to choose from... so something for everyone!

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Truly amazing resort

The hotel; very attractive, and elegant (on the highest elevation and on a cliff) The sea-view from the main hotel building; very romantic (small islands connected with bridges and mountains) The landscaping; beautifully designed with paths to walk even for people with mobility issue. The hotel and surrounding area; always very clean, and appealing. The elevator to the beach ; bonus with a great sea- view through the glass window. The beach ; small with everything you need there. It is also a pu [... read more]blic beach with many local teenagers during their school break. Swimming pools; a few. The main with a pool bar and amazing activities. The restaurants and food; 24 hours available, variety, yummy and delicious. The entertainment; fantastic!! The town of Samana; can see from the hotel, very picturesque. The hotel "service taxi" will take you there and pick you up every hour for free. The travel time 5 minutes. Tours; fantastic!. Thank you Edwardo! (tourist guide) I took catamaran to the Los Haitises National Park and a tour to the Playa Rincon-on the other side of the Samana Peninsula (Atlantic Ocean). I advise to take the "option plus" version. My room was on the fourth floor (407). Make sure to make a sew-view reservation in the main building. Villas have separate swimming pools but no beach and they need to come to the main area. If you are a traveler and not only beach body this resort is a perfect choice for you.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Beautiful scenery

Beautiful tropical resort , very clean but service was not the best ,very slow at the bars either at the pool or lobby . Great place to go for good food and families but not couples . Love children don't get me wrong but this resort was full of them . My drink had more chlorine in it from splashing kids than booze lol

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Great resort!

Lots of greenery, nightly turn down service (with chocolates), great food, good entertainment..only negative was slow service at lobby bar and staff could speak a bit more English..would recommend to family and friends

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Wonderful vacation!!

This resort was amazing. Everyone from the staff were so nice. They always wanted to make sure you were happy. The view, no matter where you were was spectacular. I cannot wait to return to Grand Bahia Principe Cayacoa!!

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Beautiful resort!

The resort grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Good variety of food, staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. The beach was amazing - clear water with coral right off the beach for snorkelling. Great resort for kids - kids buffet section, kids club and games. We'll definitely be going back!

Cayo Levantado Resort: Quiet, laid back island vacation

The resort is very secluded, well maintained and perfect for a week of relaxing. The grounds are very lush and well maintained. The island has many hills, some areas steeper than others. The resort is very spread out & never felt crowded. The Rodizio & Don Pablo restaurants were the best for dinner. The buffet at Rodizio for breakfast or lunch was convenient & had decent selection. Drink service around the pools and in the lobby was quick & friendly. The villa room was large with a huge balcony, [... read more] perfect for relaxing on before leading out for the night. Overall, a fantastic, memorable resort.

Wyndham Alltra Samana: great value

great value for the price, the grounds are great and kept up every day, all around super place and the staff are also super friendly with a big thanks to Roberto at the sports bar and Ceasar at the small pool they just made the holiday that much more fun

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Great beach, half of the family got sick.

Hotel was basic and what we expected from a 3.5 star. Our family booked five rooms and had been looking forward to this vacation for years. Everything was to our satisfaction except the big one.......my wife was sick for half of her time there and half of the family also had a couple of sick days.........NOT fun.
