Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: fabulous family vacation

Everything was amazing. A little disappointed about activities around the pool. we had 9 grandkids with us who loved the dancing. After the first 2 days the activity people were entertaining themselves. Some evenings there was nothing to do in the lounge.

Puerto Plata Village: Okay resort

The hotel grounds was pretty simple nothing fancy but yet relaxing, now the food omg amazing lots of cultural authentic food,any one that likes beef that's the place to go the best,the rooms nothing fancy but very clean!

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Friendly and fun

Good food, entertainment and long beach with good swimming, long walks and palapas. Beach chairs showing aging. Building and could use some updating. Super friendly staff. Great service. Too many smokers around pool. Charge for in room safe.

VH Atmosphere: Very good resert.

Room is very big and clean, towels are always available. Food, especially salads and soups is very delicious. Great facilities. Clean pool. always available seats and plates in the dining room. Only domestic drinks.

Emotions by Hodelpa Puerto Plata: Will go back!

I liked that it wasn't a big resort, 1 buffet restaurant and 3 a-la-carts. The beach was beautiful, the food was good and the staff very nice!! We were in the adults only building and we had our own pool with jacuzzi and bar!!

Riu Palace Macao: Very good resort

The hotel is very clean and easy to function from place to place . Room very clean could use a update mattress because it sink on one side but this is detail,bathroom very functional and clean overall the room is great .The Buffet was awesome very high quality food and presentation and service is A+ all the way . Pool clean ans easy to use well maintain not too big but no problem using it . Entertainment, at 8:30 Pm every night was ok they play a lot of Spanish song that we don't understand  [... read more]and not that easy to dance on but it okay it dose the work . Entertainment continue inside at 9:30 PM nice room the seating is excellent but very cold the AC is working there but maybe for the personnel doing the show need to have it cold . The beach add a lot of Seawee and they clean it on and off by hand which take days that should be machinery clean everyday. Overall great resort well maintain very polite and smiley personnel . Would recommend

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Fantastic!

We stayed in the adults-only "preferred" section. It's serenely beautiful, close to the beach. Everything was great, the service, the food and the drinks. Special mention to Felix and Aris for their amazing attention to our every need.

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Punta Cana 2018

We had a great time at the Larimar resort. Great entertainment team really engaging, great activities, food was good, but no real Caribbean food. There was an adults only restaurant that was 19 +, since we paid adult price for our 15 year old we feel we should have had access to this restaurant. Either that or have a youth price. Coffee portions were small, like 1/2 of a small everywhere in the resort. Teen's club was not what it was advertised to be... was a sports bar with some games for teens [... read more].The Xbox and Playstation were both broken. The bar that was in the "teens club" was an alcohol bar so men would be sitting around watching the game and drinking when it was to be a place teens could go and hang and grab a smoothie. It was advertised on line that there was a floating iceberg climbing inflatable in the ocean however it was not there. The rooms were very clean, bathrooms very clean everywhere in the resort, grounds very well looked after. Most of the week we received toiletries however about 4 days in to the stay we had to keep asking for them as they stopped stocking our room with them and it was really a pain to have to keep calling for that and also to have our fridge stocked. Without buying into the preferred club it would have been nice to have access to more than one main pool at the Now Larimar. The preferred club had 3 pools and we had 2, however one was a swim up bar one so most people in there were drunk. The other one was not at that resort but down the street. Beach was clean, seaweed cleaned up constantly, however the people at the pool selling excursions constantly were very annoying and the people selling their goods on the beach were as well. You couldn't just sit and relax without being harassed.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Could be better

The grounds, pools and service was great. Clean Grounds, Great service, Clean pools. The rooms were not updated at all, the photos made the rooms look nicer than they actually were. ALL the food was over cooked, the hamburgers were like Hockey pucks, The Pizza was the worst I have ever had. I enjoyed Being there simply because we were away from our Canadian winter, however, the food was not good. The best items on the menu at the restaurants came with a charge( Approx $20 US EACH). We did not,  [... read more]order any of it because, all the other food was overcooked. The best food they had was the Fried Chicken and Cold French Fries at the buffet and snack bar. All in all I am Glad the food was inclusive because I would have not paid to eat any of that food. I would not return to this resort.

Riu Republica: Great beach but leaves a lot to be desired

Had a one week stay over the holidays. Clean rooms and a great beach. Food was so so and the staff was hit and miss. If you're looking to relax maybe not the place. Busy and the adult only means a lot of younger groups looking to party.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Clean resort

Very Clean Resort Love the remodelling. The resort was due for a update and it is marvelous! Love the swim ups. Clean rooms. Close to the main lobby and beach front. Staff work really hard at making us happy. Thanks Carlos and Pablo for putting smiles on the faces of your staff. Happy staff equals happy experience.

Excellence Punta Cana: Most Excellente!

Excellence Punta Cana is a great resort; we were there mid-December for 1 week and I highly recommend. The resort is very clean and the people are very friendly and happy to help. Grounds are gorgeous. Rooms are awesome. The beach was full of seaweed which upset some people, but we tend to spend most of our time by the pool. Food was great, though the lobster was overcooked - we're not going for a culinary experience, it's more about the warmth and relaxation. We did the "Excellence Club" a [... read more]nd loved it. Some people don't feel it's worth the extra expense, to each their own. We like the added touches. They ask for your room number at the EC pool to ensure you're a part of the club -- the only thing is, they do this in the morning only. So by mid / late afternoon, people who are non-Excellence members make their way over and it's not monitored in the afternoon. There is a bit of a language barrier, but not enough to worry about in my opinion. Highly recommend this resort.

Cayo Levantado Resort: Great Relaxing Enviroment

My wife and I stayed at this resort over the holidays and very much enjoyed our experience. The location takes a bit of time to travel to once you arrive, but is worth it for the exclusive location. You are on a private island that requires a short boat trip, but creates the exclusive and luxury experience. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Our room in particular had an ocean view which was spectacular given the oversized balcony with great patio furniture. The only downside to our r [... read more]oom was that there were ants in and around the toilet area. This got pretty bad the one day and when we called down to have the resort assist, there was some confusion given the language barrier. Regardless, a couple hours later the resort staff came into assist. The food and dinning experience at this resort was very good. The different restaurants provided excellent experiences. In addition, the breakfast and lunch buffets were delightful as well. The hotel/island grounds were beautiful and well kept. Could not have asked for a better private beach or cleaner pools. The only downside to this resort is the english language barrier. Some of the key staff who you would expect to have "good" proficiency with the language were very poor. THis being the front desk and guest services representatives. The only other advisory would be to check and plan your excursions carefully, if they end mid morning you are stuck waiting for the boat until noon as only a few go to and from the mainland. I was personally stuck after one from 9:30 am until 11:45 am as they would not send a boat over for 5 of us after the excursion. THis wasted half a day. Overall I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a true relaxing get away.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: very nice clean fairly modern, not to big ,good service

good layout, had ocean view, room was very nice , cleaning lady did a great job , fridge always had beer, food was really good ,wide variety , Xmas eve, lobster feast ,Xmas eve the hotel was invaded with new people , hotel seemed to handle it well, could have used an extra bartenders at the pool and beach bars, overall good value

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: good resort

nice resort , all good except few suggestions: more food options at the sports bar and must add another place to eat when buffet is closed since eating at the sports bar all the time and same food is not fun. it would be nice to have a place on the beach where they do BBQ fish grill etc. bad experience at la Fluente. i would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. poor customer service and food is terrible.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Perfect vacation

Hotel was very clean, staff were amazing and friendly. Food was very good with lots of variety and the presentation was great. Room was nice and clean. Five minute walk to town either by the road or the beach. Very easy to book restaurants and excursions.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Wonderful resort

a well groomed property perched on the perfect ocean beach. White sand, aquamarine blue water that was crystal clear. Water temperature was perfect! Lots of wonderful meals and staff could not do enough to make our stay the best.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Great resort!

Nice smaller resort with good food and great staff. Easy to get from one area to another and both the pool area and the beach have shaded areas. I enjoyed the buffet and the restaurants. would not hesitate to return.
