Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Great resort, but is showing its age

This was our second time at this resort and we enjoyed it , good food excellent housekeeping staff, very friendly employees in general. The buildings were very well kept and grounds well manicured however its age is starting to show. We were a bit disapointed that some of the Specialty Resturants were often unavailable at supper times due to "private events".

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Established Paradise

I know, strange title, but there is something to be said of an established resort. While the rooms were dated, how much time do you really spend there. The grounds and scenery were STUNNING! We didn't have a meal we didn't like, and although we were a little concerned that the a la cartes didn't take resos (this was our first experience with this set up) it worked really well. A couple hiccups were quickly and professionally sorted out by staff. All in all, a lovely holiday.

Dreams La Romana: Children Everywhere!

This is an excellent resort. They offer many great childrens programs which means that there an extradorinary amount of youngsters running amok. Where are their parents!? Soccerballs in the lobby bar - plants being defoliated - kids at the swim-up bar, throwing balls at hotel guests (if accidental, then apologize!!). Great room service, maid service, bar service, dinner service. Internet only so-so but free!. Pools clean and warm, beach calm, sandy, and warm, chairs and shade. Always someth [... read more]ing to complain about if you think back, but will happily recommend for a DR beach holiday.

JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort and Spa: Fantastic resort

From the greeting we received upon arrival to our departure when leaving everything in between was just fantastic. We loved the food and the pools where just beautiful. They did a great job with blending the resort with the beautiful surroundings. We especially had fun with the monkeys and the water slide at the resort Everyone at resort was beyond helpful and pleasant. Rooms were very comfortable and beautifully decorated. We can't say enough about this fantastic resort. Definitely re [... read more]commend it !

Dreams Huatulco: Beautiful

This was s lovely resort , very clean , wonderful friendly staff I would recommend this resort to anyone, the only suggestion would be to stop people going down st 5 in the morning and putting towels on the lounges, and then coming back hours later . Or perhaps the resort should follow secrets example and out more shade spots on the beach or arround the pools

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Amazing stay with family

We had a wonderful stay. The beach is beautiful, the pools were refreshing and always plenty of chairs and umbrellas. The kids pool was nice and shallow for the kids. The buffet was fabulous so much variety. Coco cafe was nice spent each evening there after dinner. The Italian restaurant was good but service was very slow. The japanese restaurant was delicious and entertaining. The french restaurant was extremely slow, we left after 1.5 hrs as we still hadn't had our full meal yet. The r [... read more]ooms are very dated and there is no storage to put away your clothes, not a big fan of living out of suitcases. The washroom layout very poor, and floor was always soaked after shower as there is no closing door on the shower. Do not fall for the Ultimate vacation club, waste of 3.5 hrs was disappointed to have wasted that time. Overall amazing experience and would definitely return. But next time we would upgrade to Diamond club, we stayed in regular room but for the extra I think it would be worth the upgrade. High recommend this hotel.

Dreams Huatulco: Outstanding Resort!

This hotel is the perfect size. Not so large that everything is so far away. The restaurants are really good and as a bonus you don't have to reserve. The beach is really nice as well as all of the infinity pools at the resort. Just beautiful. The rooms are a nice size and kept very clean along with turndown service. What I particularly loved is that you can eat breakfast at a lovely restaurant outside overlooking the beach and also eat dinner under the stars! With the weather there always b [... read more]eing perfect you truly want to eat outside and not stuck inside a restaurant like at some resorts. This resort has become our favourite! Why go somewhere else when this one is so good! The people are so friendly and the whole area feels very safe. No question, I would recommend this place to everyone but would also like to keep it a secret so it can stay just the way it is!!

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Wonderful experience

I had a great time, the resort was beautiful and the rooms were very clean. I have a difficult time when it come's to food all I can say is that there were so much food selection and it was not hard to find something. Not only was there a wide selection but the food was fantastic. The resort is beautiful and well groomed. The staff is very polite and pleasant. I will be bringing my son and his family there next year! Excellent experience.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Feb 12 - 19 - Swim Out Room

This was our first all inclusvie vacation (in the past we have Cruised). Do to the fact that we arrived late (due to flight delays) we ended up getting bumped from our room (it was obvious as they used white out and wrote in the new room number). The frist room we stayed in (Rm 4101) had NO VIEW of the pool and the right beside a walk through to another building. I complained and we were moved to Building 1 and a much nicer room (RM 1102). That room had the extras that the first one was mi [... read more]ssing (ie, umbrella, house coats, welcome letter with % of spa services). The cleaing staff were friendly and very helpful. We didn't like the way the sales for excursions and the night of crafts were done. We could not walk 5 steps without someone trying to sell us something I would have thought the resort would not allow that type of pressure (very similar to crusie excursions...once you pass the cruise port the Islanders beg you to buy something). The food was OK, really didn't have a lot of variety for myself (I have a peanut allergy) for breakfast or lunch. Dinners I had more options. I should have been informed that I needed to see the main desk to have a letter written up to explain my allergy which I would then show to the waite staff and managers. Once I got that it became very easy. This letter should have been given to me prior to arriving at the resort. We felt very safe while on the property.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Dreams Punta Cana

Dreams Punta Cana didn't disappoint us. The lush gardens, the pink flamingos, the beautiful peacocks were a hit. The grounds are meticulous. The pool is absolutely gorgeous and runs the length of the resort to the beach. The waters however is very rough due to its location and not recommended for swimming. The food was excellent and the service was also great. We had booked an excursion from Ottawa for a Catamaran ride to Catalina Island for Wednesday Feb. 15. The agent was not there on M [... read more]onday when we saw our Sunwing agent so we went the next day only to be told that the trip for the Wednesday for which we had a confirmed booking was full. We agreed to go Friday. Our paperwork I dictated that the bus left between 7:45 and 9:00. Thursday morning we got a call in our room while getting dressed that the bus was there at 6:45. The caller didn't speak English so he hung up and had the hotel call. The hotel asked them to wait for 10 minutes so we ran to the front and th bus was gone. Needless to say we weren't too pleased. Following a lot of stress and anxiety they finally got us on for Saturday. It was extremely stressful to have to go through all of this when we had what we had and the paperwork indicated booked and confirmed. Had they had place for Saturday we would have been out over 500.00 for the wrong information we received from the tour booking agency.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Did not meet our expectations

1) The dining was a C+ at best. Extremely bland food. Food was often not kept at a proper serving temp. Not the type of buffet one would expect at such a large resort. Poor selection! 2) Beach was extremely small for the size of the resort. Limited swimming area. I do understand due to the rocky beach but none the less too small. 3) staff friendliness was a hit or miss. Some staff were extremely friendly while other appeared as though you were interrupting their day. 4) entertainment was at  [... read more]a high school play level at best. ( all thought they did try)😔 5) worst of all was the constant harassment while trying to relax on the beach from people trying to sell jewelry, to sunglasses, day trips, pics with parrots and t shirts. Extremely annoying when trying to relax with the family. On a positive there were the few select staff that made up for it and the facilities were clean🌴

JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort and Spa: Beautiful Location!!

This resort was amazing! Food was great in all the a la carte restaurants and the buffet was decent as well. Drink service was a bit slow but other than that I'd highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to visit Costa Rica!

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Beautiful Resort

This resort is very green and lush. The food at the buffet is very good and some of the a la cartes are very good. We travelled with 6 other people ages 50 to 60 and we all agreed that this resort was very good. The seaside grill (steak ) and the oceana (sea food ) were very good and the Italian and French not so much. The buffet had everything you could ask for so I didn't mind going there instead of a la cartes. We went from february 10th to the 17th and it looked at full capacity so sometimes [... read more] when we went to the a la cartes we had a long wait(it didn't help that we were 8 people) but if we found the wait to long we went to the buffet. All the workers were very nice and helpful except for the waiter at the french restaurant. If the resort is full the chairs at the pool get reserved early and also at the beach. Sometimes we wanted to sit at the pool in the afternoon after the beach but there were no chairs to be found. The same at the beach... we went early and had no problems but saw people looking hard for chairs later in the morning. The beach is very nice but we are used to the beach around the bahia principe which is much nicer but we were fine with it. We had a very nice holiday and would not hesitate to recommend this resort. p.s I see in the reviews that some people complain about the rooms...we found our room very nice(deal of the day). We knew that it wasn't big and had no dresser so we brought extra hangers and there are shelves in the closet so it was just fine.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Amazing Vacation at Dreams Punta Cana

I visited Dreams Punta Cana for the third time from Feb 12-18 (first two visits in 2010 & 2011). I was a bit nervous that the resort would not be as nice, since it had been 6 years since I had last visited. I was VERY happy to discover that the resort was just as INCREDIBLE as it had been with my previous two visits. I was there with my cousin to celebrate our milestone birthdays. The staff at Dreams is what makes this place so AMAZING! Every single member of their staff made our vaca [... read more]tion an absolutely unforgettable one (from the bartenders, to the waiters, to the bell boys, to the security guards, to the grounds keepers, to the wonderful animation team). We were treated like royalty all week. Our vacation at Dreams was the BEST birthday gift we could possibly have received. Upon arrival, we were assigned a room on the first floor, which was not ideal – I prefer an upper floor, but we decided to not complain and accept it anyway (we are not there to spend much time in the room). However, when we entered the room, it had a VERY strong musty smell (this is my 12th visit in Dominican Republic, so I am aware that the rooms can smell a bit due to the high level of humidity, but this one was VERY bad). In addition, the safe in the room was broken. A quick trip back to the check in desk and we were switched right away, no problem. Our second room (on an upper level) was much better. That really was the only hiccup during our trip. I have absolutely NO other complaints regarding this property. We tried the spa on our second day since it was raining. We were treated to a WONDERUL white chocolate body scrub, a chocolate body wrap, a full body massage, champagne and chocolate truffles. It was absolutely DIVINE! We felt like absolute princesses. So relaxing! The food at Dreams was really good. Always something really good to eat. We tried the main buffet, the beach side grill, the Japanese (a la carte AND the teppanyaki grill) and the steak house and really enjoyed each and every single one. Like I mentioned previously, the Dreams staff is absolutely a gem! They truly made our week unforgettable. They got us dancing every evening and laughing every day. We had so much fun with the entire animation team (to name a few: Juana, Benjamin Franklin, Jhonny Be Good, Yesson, Crazy Boy, Skinny Boy, Super Luis). I truly hope they are recognized for their tireless efforts EVERY day ensuring guests are having the best time of their lives. Another really sweet staff member I must mention is Domingo (one of the grounds keepers, but was training to become a bell boy on our last day). We had met him 6 years ago and he remembered us. Such a sweetheart. I would absolutely return to Dreams with NO hesitations!

Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Amazing!!!

Another amazing stay at Dreams Riviera Cancun! This was our 3rd time at the hotel and it won't be our last. Everything was great; from the hotel grounds, staff and service to the food and drinks. We will definitely be returning.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Incredible resort

This resort was amazing from the grounds, the food, the staff and the beach! Our swim up room was the best and the pool just perfect. There was even free range on resort peacocks and flamingos. There were so many excursions to choose from and awesome on resort night life. There is literally something for everyone, even an "explorers club" for the kids. I can't say enough good about the food as well. We always felt safe and relaxed. Much needed and enjoyed 10 day vacation. Oh and we went for a  [... read more]wedding and it was stunning and perfect. We will recommend this resort to everyone! :)

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Mediocre

Pushy uncaring people, poor service....would gladly go back to Cuba over Dominican after this experience Not much seafood if that is your thing. Had to personally call roomservice more than once just to have toilet paper

Dreams Los Cabos: Excellent stay

Grounds are great and very well kept, beach is beautiful but with undertow there's no swimming in it. We thought the room (had a bed suite) was great and all have ocean views. Could have been at least one more ala carte restaurant but we really enjoyed the ones they have - ate at both the French and the Mediteranean restaurants twice we liked them so much. Best of all as you will note from TripAdvisor, is the staff - wonderful staff, helpful, and extremely friendly. This resort is not chea [... read more]p, but it is good value from start to finish.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Perfect wedding destination!!

The grounds were Wonderful, it was truly a dream to be there. We had our wedding here and everything went so well very easy to work with. Although very little communication between staff it seemed.. The resort is family friendly if your child is 3 or over. Kind of disappointed that you could only go into the child explorers club for 30 min a day since our son was one month shy of his third birthday. The food is great lots of choices. I would definitely recommend the preferred club as well.

Dreams Huatulco: Wonderful family vacation

Recently had a one week vacation at Dreams Huatulco with our daughter and two grandchildren aged 6 and 8. It was absolutely fabulous...especially the staff. They were so wonderful with the kids...and there were always activities going on for them to enjoy. Dancing, car races, swimming, Explorers' Club - the kids enjoyed it all, which made it easy for the adults to enjoy it all! Very clean resort, reasonable food, fabulous service, wonderful hot weather...it was a great week for everyone!
