Riu Palace Macao: Beautiful resort

This resort is lovely and very clean. Exactly what we were looking for. Very relaxing! The staff were very attentive and pleasant. The only negative comment was the vendors on the beach were quite persistent. As well, very persistent is attempting to sell illegal drugs. Was approached very day to buy ‘weed’ and cocaine. Very annoying!

Tropical Deluxe Princess: Great Resort

The grounds were beautiful and well kept up by the hard workers. Loved this resort it was very clean and staff was friendly. Had lots of choices for the Restaurant, the Chinese one with the show was delicious. The entertainment was great my favorite was the circus night. Having a beach restaurant was great. There were 3 pools which were all nice. Love seeing the Iguanas every day the flamingos turtles peacocks and docks. Loved the wildlife. The only thing I missed was having the towel art on my  [... read more]bed even with a tip( wasn't a big deal but it is kind of neat to see the different things they make) The water was very wavy which wasn't great hoping I could snorkel off the beach . Not enough shade umbrellas or chairs around the active pool. But all in all I loved this resort it is great

Grand Bavaro Princess: Amazing resort

Grounds fantastic Platinum package worth the cost Food was good Rooms great This was our 6th time at resort and will be back next year Pools were great Had 3 pools to pick from and a kids pool and slides Only problem was lots of kids in platinum pool

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana

I was very disappointed. We are definitely never going back. Air Transat representative was very unprofessional. Most of us guests were ignored as the representative prioritized booking tours to earn commission. It became necessary for me and other to interrupt and remind the representative of our primary reason for meeting him at 10am in the hotel theater— obtaining essential information regarding our bus departure time. Food was below average. Lunch at The Food Truck restaurant was terr [... read more]ible. To place an order you must enter your room number for everyone to see on the screen above the counter. Wow! it is a matter of time before an unfortunate incident happen. The room was very nice and staff very professional.

Tropical Deluxe Princess: Very clean resort!

I loved the fact that the public bathrooms were so extraordinarily clean and good smelling. The resort is small, its great for families with kids, great food. The rooms are close to the buffet, pools and the beach. Within 1-3 minutes you can reach any one of those. The lobby, and the you can walk 10 minutes through a small tropical forest or take the mini bus. Beach was alao great. Will definitely return here, one of the best resorts I've been to.

Occidental Caribe: Disappointed in the Rooms

The grounds and the hotel itself were very nice. We had no problem with the service, staff were friendly and helpful. We had to change rooms 3 times. The first room was unclean, smelt, and the bathroom was gross. We requested a new room right away and were given one. The second room was a bit better than the first. The main room was cleaner but the bathroom was still yucky and the toilet barely flushed with each use. We requested to move again and were given a room in building 2. This room was c [... read more]leaner, had a ceiling fan and looked upgrade. The bathroom was somewhat upgraded, the tub looked in newer condition. The toilet worked as it should. Although this room was better than the other two rooms the ceiling in the bathroom was leaking and left our vanity soaked all the time. I would love to go back to the Dominican Republic just not this resort.

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Amazing as always!

3rd vacation at this resort and will not be my last. Well kept, clean, great food, pool and beach. Staff are very friendly and professional. Would recommend the adults only for those travelling without children, it is worth the extra money.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Amazing service

This was my 4th visit at Ambar and have noticed that the pool area does need an update and more umbrellas are for sure needed around the pool. I truly wish that the staff would enforced the do not reserve a chair rule as many were left empty for a major part of the day. The rooms are in really good condition, very spacious and the service is excellent in all areas of the resort. Daritza at the coffee, Desiree and Marlene at the pool, Michellie and Miguelina in the lobby bar. Service is very qu [... read more]ick at all bars and same at the coffee shop. Truly outstanding service all over the resort.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Love this resort !

We had a wonderful stay at Majestic Colonial . We stayed at Majestic Elegance last year so I was interested to see how the Colonial would compare as it is said to be lower budget . The colonial did not disappoint and I found it to be quite similar to Elegance maybe just a bit more dated. Everything was extremely clean and the staff were always very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate. I really enjoyed the food we generally ate at a La carte restaurants over the buffet . The steak a [... read more]t the rodeo grill is great and if you can get a reservation at Le Gourmet the beef fillet was amazingly delicious. We did room service pizza almost everyday for lunch and it was so good . The omelette and crepe stations in the morning for breakfast were always a hit. We did a swim up room and I don’t think I could ever do a resort another way after the experience . It was so convenient not to have to fight for a chair by the pool and to know we always had a shade spot . We stayed on the club side and had an amazing butler named Jacob , he truly went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience ! Will definitely be returning .

Serenade All Suites Adults Only Resort: Absolute Nightmare

We were genuinely shocked by the poor quality of this resort, especially considering its high ratings. While the weather and beaches were beautiful — truly the only redeeming part of our stay — the overall experience was frustrating, disappointing, and far below the standard expected from a supposedly top-tier destination. From the moment we arrived, the issues began. We didn’t get to our room until 12:30am, only to find we were given the wrong bed type, the AC wasn’t on, and the room was in  [... read more]unacceptable condition — dirty sheets, a wet bed, and a bathroom door that wouldn’t even close. Water from the shower leaked all the way out to the main door. We spent the next several days dealing with service failures. Staff were largely unhelpful and dismissive, and maintenance requests took hours or were outright ignored. We had to fight for a room change, which only came after showing “proof” of our complaints and involving multiple staff members. Housekeeping repeatedly failed to clean properly — towels were left on the floor, and surfaces were not cleaned. Room service was consistently terrible — food always arrived cold and tasteless. Despite informing them of pork and ham allergies, we were served dishes containing pork multiple times. Breakfast meats were mislabeled (ham labeled as turkey), and at one point we were served a pork dish after specifically ordering salmon. If someone had a life-threatening allergy, the consequences could have been severe. We were eventually offered a room upgrade and a beachside dinner to make up for the issues — but only in exchange for signing a form agreeing not to post negative feedback or take further action. When we asked about it, we were told we could still leave an “honest” review as long as we acknowledged the resort’s attempts to make things right. Seeing a stack of these forms at the front desk told us this wasn’t an isolated incident. The “romantic” dinner itself was another letdown. Due to high winds, everyone was moved to the terrace — where we sat near loud groups, including children. The food was once again terrible, and my wife even found a hair in her dish. The only mild positive was that the service that evening was better than usual. Across the rest of the resort, service was wildly inconsistent. Staff at many restaurants barely acknowledged us. Drinks like orange juice and soda tasted different every day — either flat, diluted, or just off. Meals ranged from cold and inedible (like the lamb at Gourmet) to undercooked and unsafe (a rare burger after requesting well done). To top it all off, housekeeping never showed up when we requested service, even after multiple hours. In conclusion, the food was a 4/10 at best, and the service was worse. A serious language barrier combined with a lack of care or attention from staff made this stay feel more like a chore than a vacation. If you’re someone who values good food, service, and attention to detail, this is not the place for you. The weather was perfect, and the beaches were beautiful — but that’s not nearly enough to make up for everything else. We won’t be returning, and we strongly caution others to look elsewhere.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: great experience

We really enjoy everything, was a magnificent experience from the beginning till the end. i will highly recommend it to my friends. staff were very kind and helpful i will suggest for the price to have gazebos on the beach area.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Everything was perfect except for...

Almost everything was perfect. The pools, the beach, the food and especially the staff were all amazing. However, the rooms are in massive need of renovations. They are tired and do not do justice to the rest of the resort. We unfortunately will not stay on the Adult side until the rooms are redone.

Occidental Caribe: Mediocre

Food not great No AC for 4.5 days out of the 7 Toilets get clogged Need more bathrooms throughout main areas Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Assignment

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Amazing Resort after check-in

We had a very unfortunate interaction with staff during checkin that got the vacation off to a bad start. After that, all I can say is that the Dreams Royal Beach Resort in Punta Cana is A-1! The rooms were beautiful and clean. The beach was lovely with tons of seating. The restaurants were some of the best we’ve ever been to and we cannot say enough about the incredible staff. So pleasant and always making sure we were looked after! Thank you Dreams (except during checkin)!

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Excellent Resort!

This was our second time at the Majestic Mirage and we loved it even more than the first time. The food was awesome and lots to choose from. The a la carte's were perfection. The service is impeccable including our wonderful butler Alexander at the Mirage Club. The rooms were spacious and clean. We had the swim up room, it's a must have! The grounds are lush and the scenery is stunning. The beautiful beach and crystal blue waters are so enticing. Air Transat did not disappoint as usual. We will  [... read more]be back again next year guaranteed!

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Relaxing

The pool was great and lots of chairs. Most of the time we could get some. Beach was awesome and close. We like how pool and beach were close to rooms. Buffet was Ok, decent variety. Close restaurants were ok but all similar. We were expecting all inclusive but some restaurants charged for a reservation. Make sure you take an adapter for the AC outlets as they do not accept 3 prong plugs. Rooms had the typical smell.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: great resort

the grounds are beautiful and well kept, however we were not impressed by the room. It need some care... especially the bath room. Every time you use the shower, lots of water spilled on the floor, making getting out of the tub very unsafe. just a half sheet of partition provide. the soaker tub was unusable, it drain could not be plugged, to be filled. The shower heads were not good at all, sprayed water every where with too much force. Even the hand held hose was not good.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Beautiful resort!

Majestic Elegance is really beautiful. The resort and beach are super clean. The rooms are nice and large. It's a large place but most restaurants are in a general location and easily reached. Multiple bars to choose from at various locations. The staff really makes the place the best.

Impressive Punta Cana: Very Good Value

We were led to believe the resort was recently renovated. It may have been but the areas of the resort we had access to have not been renovated for quite a while. There are far too many restaurants, bars, pools, beach area, etc... that you do not have access to unless you are Impressive Premium. It is a good resort and the staff were amazing but it is a 3.5 star if you take the overall experience into account.

VIK Hotel Arena Blanca: Quiet resort

If you are looking to really relax Vik hotel is an excellent option. It was clean and the main pool was very nice. Food was decent enough and the drinks were good. There was not much entertainment nor Latin music by the pool. All in all a nice relaxing vacation.
