Emotions by Hodelpa Puerto Plata: A nice resort!

Liked the resort is smaller. Food was adequate, rooms could have been cleaner, like they need a good deep clean. Elevators not working so when carrying luggage it was a bit problematic. Overall a nice resort.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Wonderful resort

The place is very luxurious from beginning to end. The location on south shore is one of the best things about it. A great beach area. The buffet is quite good but beware that all buffets suffer the same hum-drum-ness. The ala carte restaurants are tremendous but book as soon as you can, they get booked up.

Bahia Principe Escape Samana: Definitely Not 5 Star

Upon check in, we were told that our mini fridge would only contain 1 bottle of water. No pop or complimentary beer. We were also told that only 2 of the advertised restaurants were open, both of which served shellfish mostly that I am extremely allergic to. There was no poolside service (no one to offer drinks or pick up our empty glasses). Same with the buffet...I would sit down but wouldn't be offered water or coffee until I was almost done with my meal. A few nights i was served RAW chicken [... read more] breast and fish. Not just undercooked, but raw. No beach bar. No daytime entertainment of any kind or any sports. Night time entertainment was usually just a live local singer for a couple hours only. No dancers or anything. Resort is 18+ but it was really 70+. Our room had a nice view but it was right next to the main road so we could see cars and constant exhaust and racing. Very hard to nap. Beach is stunning, water is crystal clear with no seaweed or rocks. That was probably the best part.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Good week at the resort but the weather should be better the week after we left.

The main hotel lobby reception area is located in the middle and you have the differents stylish buildings around it where the rooms are located. The theatre is very close to the lobby and the buffet and the bar outside. They keep the place clean. The workers are quick at cleaning the tables and serving us coffee and water. The omelette cooks are very quick and are good at mastering/juggling the omelettes preferences of the guests. The food was good. We did not get sick, ( we don't drink muc [... read more]h). The live music band (one night) was very very good. The others nights they had karaoke, silent disco and some good dance performers.They had the super bowl party viewing on the giant screen in the theatre outside. We had few sunny days and some rain but it's the same everywhere (climate change). The resort does not have elevators but after few days of climbing three floors, my heart rate improved, I was less breathless the last days. It was a good exercise but it makes it a little harder when you take your luggage down when you leave. You can also ask the porters to come and help you. In general, it was a good week and we were happy with our choice.

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Beautiful beach and pool

Nice hotel located close to beach. The beach was well groomed. The pool area had plenty of tables and chairs and the staff ran some great poolside activities. The Mexican restaurant was amazing. The snack bar overlooking the beach was nice. The room itself was not great. Air conditioning leaked water on the floor. The ceiling in the bathroom shower needed maintenance to repair due to a water leak, the two queen beds were not overly comfortable and room furnishings were minimal. There are  [... read more]not nearly enough beach lounge chairs. We were there 10 days and we're unable to get a lounge chair on the beach even once!!! One day we couldn't get beach towels due to a dryer problem. All the staff were amazing and helpful. The constant push of viva staff to sell memberships was a bit too much.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Relaxing/Fun week at Waves Costa Dirada

Solid 4 Star resort. Excellent service from staff Kennedy, Carlos and Doulche. All 3 AlaCartes were very good. Pool was kept very clean, a bit cool but very refreshing. Bathrooms in rooms upgraded very nicely. Both buffets were also well stocked with great salad bars and hot foods. 7th time visiting this resort and will go back. One negative comment, the resort beach is nice but once u get to the public area’s there is garbage, plastic bottles etc everywhere.

Secrets Tides Punta Cana: Resort was amazing did not like the unisex bathrooms

Rooms were cleaned all the time food and service was amazing. I had my jewelry stolen at the airport from my luggage not the resorts fault but they didn't seem to care I wish there was an airtransit represented there when we needed them

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Good value

Lobby should have a bar and nightly entertainment. Hard to get change made in lobby. Very loud by the pool at night. Rooms were good and clean. Very nice beach and pool. Overall good value for money. Long bus ride to resort.

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Pretty Resort!

The grounds are beautifully maintained very pretty. No faults with our room, very clean, mattress is comfortable.Food good,drinks good. Good beach,safe swimming. I would have liked to have some Palapas for shade. The only fault I had was that no one could speak English or French or German. The main reception desk were able to speak English. Be aware of long bus ride ( over an hr)

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Great resort

Had a great time, the food was amazing. Needed a few more days of sun the weather wasn't the greatest. Staff are all amazing. Rooms are good, biggest bed in the world. Beach was beautiful. This was our second visit and would do it again. Thank you

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: 2nd time enter than the first!

We visited this resort in November and loved it so much went back in February. We were not in preferred club yet felt spoiled the moment we arrived! Every single staff person from maids to servers always had a smile and welcoming comment! We would give this resort a 10/10 from rooms to food to beach to pool to entertainment etc etc. can’t wait to return!

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Awesome resort with great people

Upon arrival we were sent upstairs to the Royal check in. While doing required paperwork were given drinks of our choice as well as access to some Hors d'oeuvre in the lounge. Check in was quick room was not ready but was ready when we came back at 3pm. Room and grounds clean pool good and was kept clean. Man bars available for the size of the resort and all good. Ocean was good with very little coral and water clear enough to see it as well as see small pools of fish. Buffet was good can it ge [... read more]t repetitive? Sure but if you try the different dishes it was good. The Ocean Grill, Italian and Octopus restaurants were also good for an all inclusive. The staff were top notch friendly and quick for the most part (yes restaurants could be slower in service and getting coffee at breakfast could be slow but the resort was at capacity the whole time so please be patient they are going 10/10.) Overall I love love love this resort especially at the price point and will visit again.

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Amazing Resort

What a beautiful resort, so clean and well kept up. Our Butler, Bolivar was fantastic. He kept us well informed on what was happening that day at the resort. He was prompt in getting back to us about our questions or concerns. The bar staff at the beach were super to all. We all had a great time. The food was wonderful. Great place, and we will be returning next year.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Great resort

Just returned from a week at El Portillo, a fantastic resort. From the moment we arrived the staff was friendly and welcoming. Our room in building 25 was great and very convenient to all amenities, cleaning was done daily to a high standard. The staff at the Sports and Beach bars were all very good, too numerous to name individually. The buffet staff was likewise friendly and hardworking. We dined at the Greek, Italian and French restaurants, all very good. The entertainment staff was very  [... read more]lively and engaging, with a special shoutout to Gerson, one of the friendliest and lively staff members we have ever encountered. The beach is very nice and overall a fantastic resort.

Tropical Deluxe Princess: Loved It!

Everything was lovely. Resort was very clean, room cleaned immaculately. We requested a main floor room which we got, close to pool, beach was just beyond the pool and buffet was directly across from us. Best location really. Only problem was our room was very tight as far as putting clothes away. There is a hanging closet but virtually nothing other than 2 small drawers for everything else. No shelves or hooks for hanging towels. We do plan to return.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: A Perfect Getaway!

A 5 Star hotel, that is probably a 4.5 in reality (showing some age/signs of wear and tear), but still beautiful amenities. The food was excellent, lots of variety and great flavours, nothing bland. The staff and servers were amazing, going out of their way to ensure coffee/drinks are always full. The beach is gorgeous with plenty of chairs in both the sun and the shaded areas. The pool area is very nice too, sheltered from any wind. Again, no need scrambling to save a chair early in the da [... read more]y - lots available. Some small 1"x1" tiles on the sides and floor of the pool are coming loose/falling off. Lots of entertainment to take part in in all areas, both during the day and at night. It seemed like there were bars all over the place - never had to wait long for a drink. Rooms are clean and cool, but no private change area (our family members needed to change in the walk-in shower since the rooms are wide open with no privacy). All in all, I would definitely recommend, and I would go back again.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Trilingual Staff- Hotel Gem "Hidden In Plain Sight"

I was surprised by the gorgeous solitude of the beaches while walking a half hour in each direction ~Beyond- the East and West edges of the Bahia Principe. Where is everyone, this place is gorgeous! Buffets and A-La-Carte were amazing, specifically the Brazillian giant BBQ red meat skewers [3 feet?] the waitstaff walk around with and slice fresh to your plate. Pool was a good size but we prefer the Ocean, and they provided afternoon and evening entertainment including fire performers, mixed danc [... read more]e troops, and singers. Nearby EcoTours highly recommend LimonWaterfall [horseback through the muddy trail then you climb down 800-900Meters of big stairs] please bring $25USD cash tip, we were not told ahead and it's awkward offering "volunteers" who look after the horses a payment via CreditCard. Also I suggest to tip the Bahia bar staff 50DRP or $1USD for each 2 drinks [small cups] you order or your Margarita will be sugar and salt with a splash of booze. Alternatively order beer on tap. They work really hard and "All Inclusive" doesn't mean they see much of your nightly fee. Vibe is relaxed, good mix of ages for guests, hotel wasn't overrun by screaming running children but there also weren't the loaded and loud party crews. Put your hands over your ears during the jingle at the beginning of the entertainment or it will get stuck in your head and you'll be singing it on your Excursions. Literally when I Googled it, the A.I. said guests noted singing it years after being on the trip. :]
