Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Terrible worst resort we have been to.

1, Hardly anyone spoke English they catered more to the Spanish speaking people. 2, We upgraded… really couldn’t see the benefit except for the adult pool… The a la cartes were a joke, Japanese got a pass… Supposed to get premium drinks 🍹 Not one of the party of 10 could drink the red or white wine, that’s so you buy a bottle that costs a fortune… 3, So after upgrading flight, & amenities in the hotel, which has mold and rooms very damp We all were counting the days t [... read more]o come home…You guys need to reavalueate this place… Won’t go into trying to get some bacon 🥓

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Fantastic Vacation

We returned from Iberostar Costa Dorada on Sunday March 4, 2018. We are a party of 3 comprising of myself and my two kids in their 20's. The resort caters to all ages and activity levels. You can be as busy or as relaxed as you choose. We had a standard room and we asked for another bed to be brought in. When we arrived our room was ready and the third bed was a full sized single bed that was extremely comfortable not a cot or a fold up bed. We were very pleased. When we arrived at the  [... read more]hotel and had checked in we were given a personal tour by one of the staff. He also assisted us in booking the specialty restaurants for the week. We were then taken to our room. When we arrived in the room the staff member checked that everything was working (nice touch) our luggage arrived about 5 minutes later. The entertainment crew is fantastic, they make you feel like family. They are fun, encouraging, silly and knowledgeable. Thank you, WiFi, Blondie, Justin, Micky Barbie and Maria. You are Soupa! The resort itself is beautiful and is consistently being maintained by cleaning, gardening and maintenance staff. I saw nothing that appeared to be neglected. This includes the beach, everyday there was staff raking the beach of seaweed and fallen debris from the trees. The pool water is clean and clear and the pool area always had staff walking around to pick up empty cups and dishes. Public bathrooms were always clean and well supplied and maintained. The main dining room was our favourite place to eat. We met Robert the second day we were there and we continued to return to his section. Robert knew what we liked after the first time he served us and he would bring our drinks before we even asked. It just happened that he was off for the 3 nights we had our specialty restaurant reservations, but he was back at breakfast for our last morning. The food was very tasty and well cooked. Dominican night was our favourite buffet night. As for the specialty restaurants, our favourite was the Japanese and then the Mediterranean. We do not recommend the Mexican. At the snack bar the food was really good tasty. Our issue with the snack bar was that it was hard to find a clean table, either cutlery, napkins or glasses were missing. The serving staff was not attentive and if you asked for water you often didn't get it. The bar staff at all the bars were very friendly and attentive. We will definitely return to the Iberostar Costa Dorada

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Resort for Younger Partiers

The resort is nice, clean and well laid out. The xhale club beach front room is amazing. The staff awesome. It is very much a younger persons' "party" atmosphere - lobby is like a night club. So if you are there to relax it's not the place for you (but their sister location next door is). If you aren't - lots going on, especially in the evening (not first class entertainment but definitely a party) and at the "party pool". Food was "okay", not great, not bad - many restaurants to choose fr [... read more]om - seafood/steaks limited. The best thing I can say about this resort (having been to the DR 14 times) is that the staff are top notch and service same.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Best resort experience -

We were 2 couples, and the hubby's had one thing on their mind..... GOLF! The boys golfed everyday while the ladies lounged on the fabulous beach or at the beautiful pools. Every room had a hot tub on the balcony and a beautiful view of the ocean. The food, premium liquor and happy attentive staff made this such a fun trip we are already planning to come back next year. Thanks to Angela Koscis at Tripcentral for the excellent recommendation!

: DISAPPOINTED!!!!

This was by far the best food I've ever had in any resort. I didn't find one item I didn't like from the buffet to the beach bar and the restaurants. No more positive comments on this hotel. We had daily issues with our room from cleanliness to plumbing. Customer service there is horrible. In the 7 days we were there not 1 person came to our room to address any issue.

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Fantasia

grate for families with younger children, playground &water parks excellent,restaurant (Italian)waste of time, buffet best for kids .Shows too loud,bad acoustic&should be more focused on children stories not on adults-easy to fix

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Great resort

Big beautiful rooms , big balcony with tubs, great for all ages will take grand kids there good value long stretch of beach if you like walking close to other entertainment caterman, close to airport friendly staff good food so much variety,

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Best Resort in Punta Cana!

Excellent service, great beach, clean, fun, an absolutely perfect vacation spot in Punta Cana. We've visited multiple resorts on Bavaro beach and Majestic Elegance stands head and shoulders above the others. We will definitely return next year!

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Dissapointing overall

The beach has a beautiful view, but overall the resort has got so prioritized to making sure you are aware of which area is available for only Select or Privledge patrons, that it spoils the overall vacation. The small pool, which cannot be used by the Deluxe room customers now, use to be our favorite area to spend time in, and we noticed that less then half of the chairs around this small pool, were ever occupied. They have lost a lot of the English speaking guests, mostly French and German  [... read more], spoke now. We have visited this resort 6 times in the last 10 years, and now, will not be going back again, because of the changes in privledges of guests, according to what room you book. Deborah did promise us an voucher for 100 dollars, which we never have received.

Riu Republica: Was ok

This was a bigger resort than I expected. I was disappointed with the restaurants because out of 8-9 only a few were "à la carte" all others were like eating at the buffet. Would be nice to go for a meal with some atmosphere and get served. No issues with cleanliness of the resort Besides the drunken games in mid afternoon with all the 18-25 year olds, not many games or things to get people off their pool chairs, especially in the middle pool near the beach. In my opinion this was n [... read more]ot a 5 star. Maybe a 4-4.5 star

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Amazing resort

Family of 5, 2 adults and 3 teenagers visited VH GRAND VENTANA from Feb.16 to Feb. 23 2018. The rooms were spacious,clean and airy. The beds were ok but the pillows were lumpy and not comfortable at all.( they need to invest in better pillows) The grounds and common areas were well kept clean and tidy. The Caribbean and the Italian restaurants were excellent for a la cart,and the buffet was amazing with different food seletions daily. The staff were amazing as they were always prompt to assist [... read more]. However, the chairs around the pool were not enough since people claim their chair with towels or slippers early in the morning. I think it would be effective if the staff established a rule that seats cannot be occupied if you not present at the pool. This way, everyone could also enjoy the sun by the pool. On the beach there was enough chairs. There was quite a few vendors that walked the beach back and forth, however I did not feel pressured to buy anything. I would say "no thank you" and they would walk away. During that week it was quite windy on the beach which was unfortunate as we would rather spend more time there. Also, the entertainment team was great. After the shows I would have liked to have more dance music and have a dance party at the resort instead of going to the discotec Cluber. Although it was very close by which is convenient, it would not start until after midnight. Overall,it was a great trip and I would love to go back!

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Worst vacation ever

I did not have high expectations when booking this trip, I just wanted a beach, pool, and to relax with a drink. Somehow, I was still dissappointed. This resort is poorly maintained, the food inedible and staff unhelpful. It was a complete waste of my vacation days and money.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Very disapointed.

Our party off 8 people were very upset about this hotel,the food was the worse we have ever had on a resort.Hardely anyone spoke English ,Just to get breakfast was an nightmare.All 8 off us paid an extra $300,00 a couple to get upgraded to VIP.but it did not get much better.The food was still the same,food was always cold even the soup,I don't know how many times we had to send our food back for one reason or another.I really don't know how they rate this a four star.Ive been to a three star in  [... read more]Cuba & it was a lot better than this.For $1500.00 each it was a rip off.I would never go back to this resort.& I would not recommend it to any off my Friends.i don't usually put reviews on here but I feel people should know what they are getting into before they spend their hard earned Money.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Great resort!

The Barcelo Bavaro Palace was everything we were looking for. It was clean, the beach was long, the sun shone and people were friendly! The only down sides were the wind which was pretty much constant, and the food which was never really hot. We loved being able to walk for miles on the beach although being fair skinned and not so good about using sunscreen I really did wish for more shade or shaded areas. We were not bothered by sales people on the beach - ever! We had a little bit of  [... read more]rain, but not even enough to leave the beach. All was good!

Occidental Punta Cana: Outstanding resort

The occidental was a clean,well maintained grounds,excellent buffet,Mexican,Steak House and Oriental Dining was superb.The only complaint I have was the first day registration and getting keys to our room could be more efficient a lot of time wasted.I would recommend this resort to any traveller and return for a second time if I had the opportunity.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Fantastic Resort

The hotel is a five star resort,,, the grounds were beautiful, the beach beautiful and we'll maintained . Always enough chairs ,, with plenty to do ... The device was second to none . The buffet was fantastic with a large variety of food , Alacarts were also great .. Finally the service was second to none and always with a smile . I have been to this resort twice and will definitely go back again

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Good

The amnesia room - the room itself is great, really too big for what you need. Lounges - several days there were not enough lounges for everyone at the pool and at the beach. We used the neighboring resorts lounges at the beach. No one complained, but we did feel a awkward. Of course there's still the issue of lounge holding. I understand why you reserve a lounge, but you could often see towels on lounges that you never saw a single soul on. Someone has to come up with a better method for [... read more] this.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Ok

While the resorts meets all your basic "resort" needs. The front desk staff are very condescending and basically make you feel like you are asking for the moon. Which I think is a tactic to just make you go away...which ultimately it did. The resort is very clean. There is security at all the main entrances. The evening shows are too late, with nothing to do between dinner and the 10pm show. Food was ok, we certainly didn't starve.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Nice resort

We stayed at the Adults Only side, and the rooms are tired looking, but functional. The beach is very nice, and it was easy to find lounge chairs in the morning. We found the buffets to be very typical, but the A la cartes were amazing! It was very easy to get reservations at these restaurants and the food was outstanding. Our big complaint was getting through the airport at Punta Cana. 2 hour queues to get in, and 2 hour to leave. We weren't aware of the $20 US tax per person to leave, s [... read more]o we scrambled to get the money. I believe our Sunwing Rep should have made us aware of this fee.
