Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Wonderful stay!

It was a wonderful spot and lots to do. Staff were so good and friendly. There were so many fun activities, the Michael Jackson and Beatles tribute shows being two highlights. Myself and my son also went parasailing.

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Iberostar Joy-a was excellent……again

Absolute perfection—again! This was our 6th or 7th stay at Joia Bávaro by Iberostar, and it somehow gets better every time. This resort has truly become our home away from home. Houston, our butler, was exceptional—professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. He made every detail seamless. Ery at the pool bar was incredible, crafting great drinks with a fun, welcoming energy that kept us coming back. Mornings were made brighter by Ortiz at the buffet, whose warmth and friendly service set t [... read more]he perfect tone for the day. The golf course was a dream, and exactly what we Canadians need in January—lush, beautiful, and a perfect escape from winter back home. From the outstanding staff to the beautiful grounds and flawless service, Joia Bávaro continues to exceed expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and already can’t wait for our next visit. Highly, highly recommended.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Great DR resort

Luxury Esmeralda had great landscaping and wonderful pools for swimming and swimup bars. Our room had a swimup to our room and it was refreshing after a long walk on Bavaro Beach. Our room was exactly what we expected and the room was always made up very well by the hotel staff. The service was excellent at the hotel. In particular Alexa at the front desk spoke good english and advices us on our stay and how to get around all of the Bahía Príncipe resorts. The activity staff did an awesome job a [... read more]s well. We joined in on Aquafit every day that we were on site. Overall, very good a la carte restaurants. We loved the Mongolian and Naan restaurants as well as the MEAT steak restaurant (Grand Punta Cana) the best. The sports bar was excellent to catch up on sports and their food/snacks were superb. Thank you for your hospitality!

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Nice resort but….

The beach is public. And it is nice but too small for the amount of people. I had 2 nights of no sleep as the ceiling in my bathroom was leaking a substantial amount of water. No compensation was offered to me.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Dreams Onyx honest review

Dreams Onyx was everything we expected and more. The hotel suite was spacious, clean and modern. The grounds were well maintained and quite beautiful. the pools were large and not crowded. the Lazy River, water slides and pool was very nice and usually a bit in the shade in the afternoon. There was never an issue finding lounge chairs. The beach was very sandy and swimmable. There was sea grass but it was regularly removed so not usually an issue. The food at the restaurants and buffet was  [... read more]very good but not exceptional. There was a wide array of food selection at the buffet. The Coco Cafe had the best coffee. The entertainment was generally quite good. The bars had the normal drinks and we did not have the preferred package so don't know if they had a better selection of top shelf alcohol. Overall the staff were welcoming and wanting to please and we had no issues whatso ever. I would recommend this resort for families or adults.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Great location-3rd visit. Some things to consider though

The Ambar is a lovely hotel with wonderful staff, great beach and pool, but it's due for a refresh. This was our 3rd visit. The last time was about 10 years ago. Some of the rooms are a bit tired. Bahia Principe rep made a point of saying that a couple of the other hotels in the group had recently been refreshed and renovated; time for the Ambar to have its turn. Having said that, entertainment was great, most restaurants wonderful. Service good. Exception, and not in a good way, Maiko; i [... read more]t was Chaos from the hostess to dessert. Limbo and Portofino were fabulous. Do bring along some bug spray if you tend to get bitten by sand flies--my husband got a lot of bites on his legs (I have none, go figure) and they were really itchy. All in all, I would go back to this hotel but would be checking to see if the renovations were done first. Our experience with Bahia Principe has been good overall, and their upgraded app is super.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Wonderful

The grounds were beautiful, well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful, solved our problem for use. We weren’t sure about return pickup and Luis phoned to get the information we needed. The food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the fresh fruit and the varieties of salad. I liked going to the a la carte restaurants off site. Great choices available.

Riu Palace Macao: Great vacation

Our room at first was horrible but went to front desk told be to return at 3pm, I did and they gave me keys for another room to check it out 100 percent better and moved after the first night. Buffet was good but if not there when first open if you want hot food you need to find someone making something any hot food sitting was normally cool (microwave might have helped) overall thou great time and meet great people!

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Highly Recommend

Great resort, clean, well maintained, amazing friendly staff, good restaurants, zero complaints. No reservations at restaurant is great. Taco truck is awesome. Easy to get a pool chair. No towel cards is the way to go.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Great resort and beaches

- this was our 2nd visit to Majestic Colonial -VIP club - - Checking in took a lot longer than necessary (1-2hrs) - arrived at our room to find out that it wasn't what we requested (two beds, ground floor). We were on the 4th floor and only one bed. We had to wait for our luggage to get up to the room, then wait for them to find us another room. We couldn't leave the room until our luggage arrived. Then we had to go down to guest services and get our bracelets changed and then go to our new ro [... read more]om. - butler was not very attentive, so I had a little chat with her and let her know what was expected from her and how she could improve for the benefit of other guests. After this chat she was excellent!! - a la carte meals were excellent. - buffets had lots of selection - beaches were amazing!!! - it was difficult to find chairs / cabanas. There were a lot with towels on them, but no one was around. This has nothing to do with the resort, but more to do with guests

Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort Adults: Mixed Review

I will start this review with the fact that our primary reason for travelling was for the golf experience and it was excellent. The shuttle back and forth to the Cocotal was always on time and the driver was helpful. As for the resort itself we spent the extra money for The Level experience but this was disappointing. From our check in which took far too long and the fact that we had to carry our own bags and golf clubs to our room after travelling for 12 hours would be deemed unacceptable. We r [... read more]elied on our concierge in The Level to confirm our bookings for our a la carte restaurants and they failed to do so whereby on 3 occasions when we arrived at our restaurant they had no booking for us. The commute from the lobby to the Level section was quite far and the wait for a trolly took surprisingly long. On several occasions we walked instead of waiting... The only perk of the Level was the rooftop bar where the staff was amazing and the drinks equally so. As for our room, we had to have our phone fixed, our safe did not work, and we had to request both water and coffee pods as they failed to replenish them. Sadly we paid for Level service but did not get it... The beach was lovely, the food was ok, the pool for the Level guests was small but served its purpose. We have stayed at many Melia properties and this was our most disappointing experience. We will not be returning to this property. Thank you to the wonderful rooftop staff that were so accommodating and lovely. The golf and they were our highlights.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Worst place ever

⭐ Absolutely the Worst Resort Experience – Not Even 0 Stars Our stay at Cofresi Palm Beach Resort (Jan 20–27, Booking #149939083) was extremely unsafe and unacceptable. I strongly advise everyone to avoid this place, especially seniors. Major issues we faced: • Too many stairs and no senior‑friendly pathways • No hot water for the entire stay • Room phone didn’t work • Toilet wouldn’t flush unless we poured water manually • Iron was broken • Door key failed every single day • Staf [... read more]f and Sunwing representative offered no help Serious incidents: • My husband got food poisoning, collapsed, and suffered a head injury that required hospitalization • I slipped in the dining area due to a wet floor, lost my toenail, and bruised my entire left side The only positive was the resort doctor, who was excellent. This resort is unsafe, poorly maintained, and completely unprofessional. I will never return, and I do not recommend it to anyone.

Dreams Cap Cana Resort and Spa: ABSOLUTELY GREAT RESORT

ROOMS WERE VERY CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE....STAFF IS AMAZING...POOL AND GROUNDS ARE VERY WELL KEPT...JOHN WILLIAM WAS THE BEST ...AND NICOLE MORELASE WAS A SWEETHEART AND KEPT US BUSY AND ENTERTAINED AND MADE NEW FRIENDS WITH BOTH OF THEM

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Good resort

The resort in general was good. It is close to the beach, the pools are nice, many activities to do. However food is not too good, specially the international restaurant, food lacks of taste, and the wifi is not good is your room is away from the lobby.

Paradisus Grand Cana: This is not it

Overall Rating: 2/5 This resort fell well short of expectations and should not be marketed as a 5-star property. While the room layout works well for families and young kids enjoyed the splash pad, the overall experience was inconsistent and frustrating—especially when travelling as a larger group with couples, children, and grandparents. Major issues included the lack of a resort app, making basic tasks like restaurant reservations inefficient and confusing. Language barriers with many st [... read more]aff made it difficult to get help or provide feedback, often leading us to give up altogether. Dining was a significant disappointment: over an entire week, we were only able to secure one à la carte reservation for two people. Multiple times, reservations for our full group were “confirmed” only to be missing when we arrived. If à la cartes are important to you, this is not the resort. Cleanliness and maintenance need serious improvement. Rooms showed signs of wear, furniture was dirty, appliances malfunctioned, and housekeeping was below average even with tipping. The grounds and pools lacked upkeep, with visible litter and residue left unattended for days. Hospitality also felt lacking—service was often slow or dismissive, and tipping did not improve the experience. Additional drawbacks included inconsistent room amenities, no designated coffee bar, basic décor throughout the resort, limited drink menus, and a kids club that does not allow parent participation. Despite being marketed as beachfront, the beach is at least a 15-minute walk away. Overall, we came based on recommendations and high reviews but would not return. For a similar price point, resorts like Lopesan offer a far superior, more polished, and reliable experience.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Resort poor

We really didn’t have a good experience. Room was leaking water from air conditioning. No hot water for three days. Towels and bedsheets are very shabby. Worst was so many steps to take from beach to lobby,dinning area. Not relaxed at all.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Honest review

1. Staff was helpful & kind 2. Rooms were spacious 3. Hygiene not to the standard, also be prepared for mosquitoes if you are at 1st floor 4. Food was low quality & not very much variety 5. Lots to do in the resort itself, so would not be bored. 6. If you have low to medium budget then go for it, otherwise go for better

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Review
