Sunscape Puerto Plata: I loved this resort!!

The resort was fabulous!! It was not a larger scale resort and therefore walking to all areas was done in just a few minutes. The main pool was quite large and hosted a swim up bar and snack bar which was very convenient. The a la Cartes were available every night and you did not need a reservation which I really liked. Just outside the area of the restaurants is a bar and pizzeria- the pizza is made to order and was delicious- if you like pizza, you’ll have to check this out. The food was te [... read more]rrific and the service was top notch, especially in the a la carte restaurants. The beach was about a 5 minute walk from our building and while there were no umbrellas for the chairs on the beach, there were lots of trees to relax under and enjoy the ocean breeze. The resort was very clean and well maintained. And, I felt very safe in the area. Other areas where I vacationed had armed guards at the gates and you were told not to leave the resort. This resort did not have armed guards and you could walk to the mini mall (mostly souvenir type shops) without any worries. I would definitely recommend this resort and I am looking forward to going back at some time in the future.

Riu Republica: RIU Republica was an amazing time! Would repeat in a heartbeat!!

This resort is for adults who want to have a good time and meet a ton of like minded individuals from around the world. It was a very refreshing experience from the usual all inclusive resorts as this one is adults only and has a different vibe. I made a ton of new friends from Canada, the USA, UK and Argentina as well as some new Dominican friends ...mind you I have been to the DR 5 times before ...this trip was the most memorable, the event staff was amazing and the restaurants were ok.... [... read more].not 5 star but acceptable and the buffet was good. The beach was awesome and clean.....I am sad writing this review as it means I am back at my desk!

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Hot Hot !!! Resort

The hotel was perfect, the food was great and the beach was amazing. The staff was so nice. The transfer from the airport to the hotel was very quick the location perfect. I would return to this place anytime..

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Amazing resort

This resort was a five star resort all the way. The rooms were spotless, the floors were shining. The service was spectacular. The pools were very clean. The beach was very nice no kelp to deal with, sand was soft on the feet. The restaurants had excellent food choices. Our Buffets had plenty of food choices, no need for anyone to say they are still hungry after leaving there. AMAZING PLACE.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Great time

Resort was very clean and staff works very hard to please. They have three very good restaurants to have dinner as well as the main dinning room. The beach is okay but you get lots of Ocean views everywhere you go.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Another wedding aniversary success!

Staff, staff, staff! They are why we keep returning to this resort. Good food choices, clean updated rooms. Great location from airport. Wife happy beach. Stayed two weeks at an excellent price. Hard to find a negative comment, but here I go. The bacon was usually tough. Sorry, but that is all I can complain about! That was our fourth trip to VH Gran Ventana and we will be returning next year for our 49th aniversary.

Riu Republica: Amazing resort

It’s close to the airport. The beach is amazing. Very clean and very friendly staff. A lot of food options. There is a water park and a great convenient/ souvenir shop on the main leave. There is also a great lobby area when you can hang up that’s close to a bar and you can smoke.

Riu Republica: fantastic resort

What an experience at the Riu Republica! We stayed Oct. 27 - Nov. 3, 2018. Cannot say enough about the food, rooms, vast beachfront, seaweed free. Many resorts have had their beachfront washed away with erosion. The beaches and pools were well maintained. Never had anything to complain about. Would highly recommend this resort to anyone wanting an Adults Only vacation.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Just ok

Return last week from two weeks at Royal Golden section. Be sure to bring a lot of bug spray as mosquitos are very active as well as send flies and ants. Also learn some Spanish as most of service people in hotel do not speak English at all. Resort is huge so if you are not in good shape and ready to walk a lot, consider some other place. Yes, there are trains around resort but you will still need to walk to them and wait. As for Royal Golden section, do not waste your money. You do not get any [... read more]thing more then regular section except more sales invitation. We were last time in Bavaro Princess for about same amount of money and I would not think twice about going back to Princess but we will not be back to Bahia. Nothing specially bad about this resort but too big to take care of everything in proper way and prefer Spanish guests. For same or less money there are better choices.

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Outstanding Resort

Hotel grounds are beautiful. Rooms are spacious with comfortable beds. It also has a very nice whirlpool tub with glass windows. the rain shower head is very powerful. Food everywhere was outstanding, the buffet offered amazing food which included lobster tail at lunch and dinner. Food presentation both at the buffets and ala carte restaurants was amazing. Plenty of beach huts and there were always seats available around the pool. Service was outstanding, best we had in the Caribbean. Nightly [... read more] shows were great with an 8-piece a live band and singers performing most nights.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Adults only

The resort at Ambar Green or now Aquamarine has some very friendly and helpful staff. We ran into some problems but they were always trying to correct them. Some they could correct easily like making sure our water and chips were brought to room each day. Also when we arrived they did not have a room with two beds for us so we had to stay the first night in a king room then move the next day. That was a bit frustrating since we couldn’t really unpack and the whole next day had to keep going to [... read more] lobby to see if our room was ready. I was very disappointed in the fact that the only place adults only could eat breakfast or lunch was the buffet. The beach buffet had kids there too and we were turned off eating there because kids were touching food etc. there was a section right beside it that we thought was for us in adult only Ambar but were told it was only for PRIVILEDGE guests. Very annoying. We paid more for adults only for a reason. So, after that we had to come back to the main buffet for lunch when we went to the beach. Although most of the a la carte restaurants are in the family sections the Brazillian at the Esmarelda was awesome, we went there twice, not many children were eating in there either. The only issue we had with going to other areas for dinner was getting timely transportation back. After the second time waiting 20 minutes and asking several people to get us a ride we learned on the third time to ask our driver from Ambar who took us and he gave us his cell number to call when we were done. Also very frustrating was the free gift offer they leave in the room saying to get gift in lobby and enter a draw too. Well, that is BS because you don’t get the free gift or the chance to enter the draw unless you do a tour of Fantasia. That is wrong and not only that the badgering you get from the guy even after saying no several times is unacceptable. We were frustrated enough after ruining our oft whole ay waiting to get another room, didn’t need more time wasted. The pool was big and hardly ever many people at it, always empty chairs all around so you never had to search for chairs any time of day. Maria in buffet is the best, always happy and making sure we were too. They should clone her. We only ate dinner there the first night and did a la carte all the others so can’t say much about what the dinners there are like. The breakfast and lunches were good but often lacked in potatoes and rice options. I already mentioned the Brazillian being the best. The Asian at Esmarelda was also good. Tex mex was good once inside but the greeters at the outside turned us off from ever going there again. They stood there chatting with two young girls in bikinis instead of making a drink outside for guests. Also the bench was full of sand where the two girls sat and when I went to sit there I told the guy, he ignored it so we stood until they let us inside. Since customer service phoned us everyday to ask we advised them of all we thought was not good. The manager Smiley then called us for further details. Sony, one of the customer service guys arranged for us to get a reservation at Brazillian and cancelled our last night reservation for Tex mex when we told him about that experience.

BelleVue Dominican Bay: Nice resort

Hotel was older but very clean, grounds are very well kept, food was very good and staff were excellent. Downside to this resort it was right in the middle of town, and the beach was further away than was stated. also lots of stairs both in the complex and getting down to the beach, which is not good for some people.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Quiet amazing resort

Very clean all over. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Didn’t see a bug out there. They had new beach lounge chairs. The a la carte restaurants are very good and the buffet had a good variety. This is my second time too this resort and planing again to return next year for 2 weeks again.

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Beautiful resort

The hotel is just beautiful. The restaurants are good and the buffet always has fresh delicious food. The service is outstanding. I would most certainly return. I had a great 7 day vacation. Favio and Carlos are great yoga and fitness instructors. Yoga on the beach with the ocean breeze is phenomenal.

Sunscape Dominican Beach: Great resort

Had amazing service from the people. So sweet and so caring when it comes to service. Only issue with the hotel is the buffet food was not that great and the water shutting off. Other then that amazing hotel and amazing people who work in the hotel

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Five Star All the Way!

This resort was beautifully kept from the rooms to the beach area! We enjoyed a relaxing week with great food and friendly service! Come and see for yourself! It was small enough to have a warm and inviting feel and delivered excellent service!

Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort: Love this

The food, staff, quality, pools are so amazing! We travel here 2-3 times a year and always stay at this hotel/resort. The games and animation staff are great. However, they need to update the music. I would like to hear more Bachata and Salsa since I am in the Dominican Republic. I don't want to hear old 80/90's music (example: titanic song & rhythm of the night)

Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort: Amazing Resort

This resort is my favorite. Every time we travel to Puerto Plata we stay at this resort. The staff is friendly, the cleaning staff is amazing. The food could be better but its better than most resorts I have been too.

Riu Republica: Amazing resort

Loved it....Beautiful resort. Lots to do, you can relax or there is a lot of different activities to do. Lots of delicious food options. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The beach is fantastic. Good beach for walking. Weather was fantastic...great vacation!!!!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: A must!

This resort was absolutely beautiful, the people are extremely genuine, funny and just overall amazing. The rooms were huge and they come with perks such as choosing a scent for your room, extra pillows for different parts of the body. 24hr room service, many delicious A la Carte restaurants. The buffet was always delicious and they had a lot of variety to choose from. Overall this resort was absolutely everything I needed to have a relaxing week, I rarely go somewhere where I feel like time wen [... read more]t by very quickly.
