Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Ive been twice this year 😬

My brother travels a lot and has been to Ambar green many times and finally convinced me to go in February 2018.... loved it so much we went back this August. The staff is wonderful the grounds are beautiful and the excursions are fantastic. I really have zero complaints and would recommend this resort for anyone looking to meet fabulous people at a luxury resort... with no kids. 🤟

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Nice Surprise

We had been to this resort six years ago, and we’re happy with our stay then. However upon returning we were pleased with the changes and updates to the resort. Beach remains beautiful nice to walk, food was very good, property well maintained. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Great family resort

The food at the buffet was fantastic. The pools and entertainment were perfect for people of all ages. I was disappointed with the beach. Too much seaweed! Overall, it was a great family experience. Fun, clean, accommodating, and helpful.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: 5 Star Resort!!

This resort was AMAZING!! We enjoyed every minute of our trip here. The rooms were super big and cleaned daily. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The restaurants were ample and there was no restrictions on where you could eat and when. The pools were clean and there were many of them great kids pools with slides. Lazy river with floats available. Lots of pool beds which are cushioned. Lots of shaded pool and beach chairs. Edwin and Nasir at the Travel smart club gave us your for t [... read more]he holiday club which is available at a fantastic price for people who vacation often. Lastly transport to and from the airport was great. The hotel is 25 mins from the airport feels more like 20 mins. Small tips go a long way at this resort however we didn't feel pressured when we didn't tip. Great weather and they manag3 to spray the resort well so there are no bugs or mosquitos. Lots to do for kids at the kids clubm shows were awesome daily and drinks are very exotic. Big thanks to Miranda at tripcentral who helped us book this awesome trip. We will definitely plan to return to this resort.

Occidental Punta Cana: Very nice resort.

I thought the resort was very nice, the pools were great with lots of lounges so there was no problem finding places to sit. The food at the buffet and all of the a la carte restaurants was very good. They did an excellent job for Stacey and Matt's wedding and the wedding dinner at the Italian restaurant was great with terrific food and service. The availability of shuttle service was a great help for some of our family members who need assistance walking longer distances. The beach was very [... read more] clean and well looked after. The only problem, as you are aware, was on the last day when my niece suffered a medical emergency when she was given a drink that had been drugged. I know the hotel and the hospital will deny this and state it was dehydration. However, her symptoms and the quick onset of problems leave no doubt in my mind that she was drugged and in talking with her upon our return this I believe was confirmed by her family physician although nothing can be definitively confirmed because no drug testing was done at the hospital in Punta Cana. Our activities for that day do not support their assessment of heat and dehydration, as we drank lots of water that day before snorkeling and were only back from this excursion about and hour when her symptoms occurred. Very unfortunate that this should have happened and put a dark cloud over what had been a wonderful time with family and friends.

Be Live Experience Hamaca Garden: Disorganized

I would never dream of going back to this hotel again. Two hours drive from airport then check in was kaotic waited 40 mins to check in only to get in a room that was so filthy I could not bear to stay in it. Bad experience overall.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Good for the Price!

The best aspect of this hotel were the people for sure. Everyone is always available to help you out in any way you need. Other things to highlight include, the food quality with a la carte restaurants that do not require a reservations, the common areas were always clean and well maintained. The only thing I was disappointed with was that the ac was not turned on when we arrived so the humidity in the room was pretty high; which made the beds feels wet that night. We did talk to the manager and [... read more] he tried accommodating us in another room.

Riu Republica: Great vacation!

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at the Riu. There was a mix up with the room ( 1 king bed vs 2 singles) when we arrived, but it was quickly taken care of. The staff was friendly and the washrooms were really well kept. There were plenty of beach chairs available and we never had to wait a long time for any of the restaurants. Only thing was that most restaurants are buffet style. This resort had a mix of guests ( party vs relaxation). It was nice that you could find places to do bot [... read more]h. We took an excursion with Dr. Fish -AMAZING! Easy to book.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Excellent Stay

The resort was clean and well kept. The food was great with a lot of options at the buffet. A la Cartes were great as well! Nicole our wedding planner was amazing and Ramon treated us well when booking our excursion.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Good for the price

Good food. Excellent staff. The entertainment team is amazing. The room was clean. (Even if they don't change our bed in 7 days). Some room have humidity and small bad. The spa time was wonderful. Bad: in the reception they offer you a free day pass in other club. We lost the time. It was a lie. The city is fool the garbage. It's too bad.

Riu Republica: Good Time

The resort was good for me and my vacation needs. There was a common complaint from many people about food, non- English speaking staff and cleanliness. I have been to 4 Riu Resorts in Cancun Mexico and this one doesn't live up to that standard. My room wasn't cleaned 3 days of my stay. When I went down to the front desk I was told to put the blue sign which states "clean my room" ... there was no sign other than the red do not disturb. On my last breakfast, my elbows stuck to the placemat. Whi [... read more]le having that same breakfast a server spilled coffee on the floor. Staff and guests were walking over the coffee so I took some napkins and started to clean it up as I'm a hospitality foodservice manager on the health and safety committee. Soon as started to clean up the coffee captains and servers all rushed to stop me and take over the task. Lady servers are the best staff they have. Male servers, in general, are mediocre at best, especially for breakfast. Yawning at the station, not paying attention and forgetful. Cancun Mexico when you enter and restaurant the servers are escorting you to there station, coffee, juice, and water are offered and served in a flash. Males servers, for the most part, don't make an effort to speak English where all woks of life coming to the resort making an effort to speak the language. Resort grounds should be cleaned through the night. I came down at 6:30 am and walked across a dirty theatre which was always cleaned in the morning along with the walkways leading to pools and beach. Many a morning I walked from my room passed numerous glasses, nachos spilled on the floor and beverages spill. There is no beach view from the resort like 99% resorts rather a pathway leading to the beach. Could it be intentional? The front desk by day doesn't reflect the rest of the resort as when its all lit up at night. The Jerk chicken kiosk is a good idea but they need to change up the hot dogs every day. I wouldn't change the chicken but you may want to consider some plain chicken for those who don't eat spicy. The jerk chicken gets dry as the day goes on but if you eat before noon its juicy and good. The daily hot dogs are not fully cooked on a regular basis. I think it should be changed up especially if you eat there daily. They should consider alternating hot dogs burgers and possibly a chorizo sausage. There was no relish available for the hot dogs. Bar service was great along with the selection of alcohol. Peanuts were good and a nice touch. Sports Bar was good but someone should be monitoring it as when its busy its hard to get a drink. I would reccomend but not all.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Great Resort

It's was a great vacation. We enjoyed every aspect of this hotel. It is a very large resort and we probably only saw 1/4. It was very clean, immaculate actually, staff was friendly, food was great lot of choice of restaurants. Never hassled by vendors. The only down side was the beach and the massive amounts of seaweed. We will definetly consider this hotel the next time we go to Punta Cana. Favorite drink for the week Mojitos awesome. Thanks for a great week!

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Fantastic Resort!

The food was good but I wouldn’t say it was outstanding. The cleanliness of the resort and the outgoing/friendliness of the staff and having lots of activities to do made up for the food. We certainly got our exercise at this resort! Lots of stairs and pathways to walk everywhere! Would recommend asking for a main hotel room if you can’t do stairs... 8/10

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Wonderful Resort - Very Luxurious

The resort was amazing. Rooms were very spacious. Clean. Bathrooms were clean and fresh towels daily. The grounds were immaculate. You saw workers everyday keeping the place beautiful. Pools were great. Never any issues with finding a chair although people reserve the chairs very early in the morning. This happens at every resort. 3 pools separated by bridges. The louder pool is always busy as thats the one with the swim up bar. Entertainment at the pool daily which was a nice  [... read more]touch. Great to watch! Nightly entertainment was great - started at 9pm. The entertainment staff really try to engage the visitors, a lot. One criticism, lots of smokers around which is ok. The hotel should think about sectioning off smoking and non-smoking sections outside as sometimes the amount of smoke really took away from enjoying the entertainment. Construction at the blue section is not noticeable at all! only when you take the golf cart to the beach then you see it otherwise you don't see or hear anything at all. Really fabulous resort. Beyond our expectations. We will definitely go back next year and looking forward to seeing the Ambar Blue sectiton fully renovated.

Paradise Playa Dorada: Not enough value for the money paid

Paid for a Superior Garden View room but wasn't able to get this room when checking in at the reception desk. The tours offered via Air Transat at this hotel was a rip off as well. Food was mediocre, with lots of repeat dishes. The Italian restaurant was awful, serving what tasted like canned soup and same items from the buffet; fish and chicken dishes were overcooked and bland and the wine offered was "cheap" resort wine that had a spoiled fruit aftertaste. There was a section of the menu th [... read more]at seemed to offer better dishes at very steep prices; don't waste your time.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Highly recommend

From arrival to leaving, I found the service was excellent. The entertainment crew worked from morning to night to ensure a good time was had by all. Lots to do on and off resort. Great value for your money. Would definitely recommend.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Gran Ventana

We had to pay for a lock to the safe, we had to pay for wifi. There was no iron in the room. I had to go and ask for an iron from the front desk and then housekeeping came back about 2 hours later to retrieve it. There weren't enough umbrellas by the pool and beach. I don't think it is hard or expensive for a resort to purchase several more umbrellas.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Excellent

An excellent resort. Different restaurants but we only tried Japanese which was not also good food but a great show. Room was nice and clean. Hair dryer not working was the only issue. The beach is not good, seaweeds everywhere although they do their best to clean it. Most of the bartenders and servers are really nice and always ready to serve except for a few who will serve you better after the tip. But the majority of the staff ia always smiling, happy and joking and make your stay great.  [... read more] The entertainment team is AMAZING. You will not get bored and they are always happy and joking even if they have been working the entire day. Just to mention some Sexy Tobby, Chori, the Cat, JC. They make the stay way better and enjoyable. The pool is nice but sometimes to get a drink in the pool bar may take too long so go outside to get your drink and save time. The food in the buffet is great. There is a variety of different things and for all tastes!! Every day a different theme. The Dominican night was really good. The house band playing every evening was really nice. Then the show at the theater and after that you can go to do karaoke at the sports bar and then to the disco. In all, a wonderful time. Nice weather, food and great people. I will come back for sure

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Beautiful, clean, fun resort!!!

We loved the beautiful, clean rooms, swim up bars, pools, restaurants, food and friendly staff. Everything is amazing, except for all of the seaweed in the ocean. I’d go again in a heartbeat! We loved it!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Beautiful resort

Beautiful resort, rooms,grounds, amazing staff , food was good drinks also we noticed the grounds were always kept clean. pleasant staff. Very helpful, beach good but not clear. The only thing to get a glass of wine during dinner at the buffet restaurant was abit slow. But the waiters were very nice. I suggest to leave a bottle of wine at the table so I don’t have to wait for a glass of wine. Animation team great but you need more entertainment around the pool, and at night. For an adult reso [... read more]rt evenings shouldn’t end at 11 pm. At least midnight. I have been to adult resort and there’s always something going on until midnight. I noticed there was slot more to do in the family resort then the adult side. Overall I really enjoyed my stay.
