Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Great resort!

The trip was a great experience for my friend and I. When they said “all inclusive” they really meant it and provided excellent service. I appreciated the friendliness of staff and the helpfulness with people who are new to the experience at the resort. From planning tours to the process for obtaining boarding passes we found the staff to be very efficient and professional as well as friendly. We had a very relaxing time. Just a wonderful time! Thanks for the great time.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: 5 stars hands down!

It was my boyfriends first vacation. It was probably the best all inclusive trip I’ve ever been too and I’ve stayed at many resorts. I’ve stayed at the Bahia Principe in Runaway Bay, Jamaica and it was not as good as the Esmeralda in Punta Cana.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Amazing Resort:

I booked the Barceló Bavaro Palace on the Tripcentral.ca site. We were very pleased, and were very surprized at all the renovations. We had booked all inclusive. We had been there about 7 yrs. prior. The changes were very beautiful. The rooms were very nice. The junior suite was very comfortable. Had 2 queen beds and a sort of a day bed. Nice layout and great hot tub. The staff was very friendly and kind. Restaurants very good. They had 2 buffet places to eat . They had anything you could thin [... read more]k of. It was excellent. Had a great vacation. Also had a lot of activities. Also about 3 to 4 pools and whirpool. The Beach was so beautiful and the sand was white sand just like sugar. Will return for sure.

Excellence Punta Cana: Wonderful Resort

Our group of four enjoyed every moment of our vacation on this beautiful resort. We enjoyed relaxing and quiet atmosphere, friendly staff, great food and drinks in all restaurants and long walks on a wide sandy beach. During our stay the wind was rather persistent so we avoided swimming in the ocean.

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Punta Cana: Best vacation ever

We came here for our honeymoon and had the best vacation experience ever. As a vegetarian I was surprised to find so many delicious options (including wood burning oven pizza and Lebanese food). The environment is awesome - a good mix between party and relaxing. If you care about premium liquor, you can do rock royalty as the pool has top shelf. The grounds are beautiful, the staff is so friendly, and we are in major vacation withdrawal. I have no complaints and recommend ten times over. Only th [... read more]ing that was a negative was the timeshare presentation that they try to frame as not being a timeshare - do the math, you can get the same prices by booking a vacation package on your own. You do get the taxes reduced on your excursions if you attend so maybe have a drink in hand and have some fun with it.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Thieves!

In one word this resort is a fraud and a thief! The customer service manager named KATHY is a thief she stole money from our group. They charged us $200 per person to upgrade the room and once we we went there gave us sewage facing rooms. Made us sign a paper that states we are getting a refund and it’s been over a month and no one is responds back. Mind you ours was a group of 15. The customer service was sooo horrible as if they are doing us a favour being at work. The whole resort is busy r [... read more]obbing vacationers! Please be careful from KATHY. She’s a thief! Please do yourself a favour and not go to this resort full of con artists! Horrible horrible horrible deserves no stars!

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Wonderful Trip!

We recently stayed at Luxury Bahia Principe Esmeralda and had a wonderful time!!! The grounds were gorgeous and very well kept. The staff was wonderful and honestly made our vacation. The room was perfect and it was located away from the main pool which was good because the entertainment was in the same area and would have been quite loud. We even took the local bus to the nearby town, Higuey which was an adventure and recommended for those who want to leave the resort. We will definitely be com [... read more]ing back again!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Disappointing

Most food was tasteless and bland. A la cartes were disappointing and most servers had very very limited understanding of English which resulted in wrong orders, especially Don Pablo. Alcohol was low grade and several times ran out of vodka and baileys and Clamato juice. Room was run down - broken drawers in dresser, shower door would not close, no facecloths most of the time, irradic supplies in fridge, water and coffee. Cleaning was never done on deck. No communication regarding entertain [... read more]ment schedule. Climate was beautiful and grounds were well kept and beautiful due to the very hard work of the ground keepers. We have travelled extensively and by far this is the least satisfactory resort we have stayed at.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Great resort!!

This resort is really amazing. Rooms are clean, food is great, people are nice and the beach is beautiful. This was our fourth time at this Hotel and we just love it. The only thing that we were disappointed about is that there was a lot of kids this year, don't get me wrong we love kids we have three but we were not expecting to see so many.

Sunscape Bavaro Beach: So So

Staff:front desk and restaurant staff was nice. However,staff at the coffee shop were more busy talking to each other then serving the customers. Same goes for one of the staff at the boutique where she was busy clipping her nails when there are customers in the store. Rooms: bed was very uncomfortable; could feel the springs. Room would get half done by the cleaning staff whether you leave a tip or not. Beach towels: after 9:30am, no towels left. You would have to wait 30-40 minutes. Two  [... read more]days before we left they decided to implement a new system to ensure they don't lose towels and only resort's customers get towels. Restaurants: our favorite was SunnySide Grill; although the ribs's sauce was not very good (a lot of nutmeg in it). In general the food was not all that great. I got sick the day before we left. Not sure if it was from eating water melon and passion fruit. Would we go back to this resort: no

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Amazing resort !!

Stayed here from January 31 to February 10,2018 and it was amazing. Restaurants were amazing. The steakhouse was the best for us. The staff, the entertainers always have a smile on there faces. Very friendly. Rooms are huge and very clean. Would recommend this resort no problem. Will be returning for sure.

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: amazing

It is a very comfortable hotel for the family. It is a very clean resort and there is a lot of activities that one can participate. The quality of food is also amazing. The pools are clean and well maintained all the time. There is high security all over the hotel.

Sunscape Bavaro Beach: Amazing !!!

Wow !! Amazing trip. The hotel and staff were awesome and the entertainement was great. Always something to do. Food was great. Nice beach and pools. The resort overall is extremely clean. The only negative is the rooms are extremely echo, not insulated therefore we could here babies cry, people talking outside or coming up the stairs. Besides that I would recommend this hotel !!!

Paradisus Palma Real Golf and Spa Resort: Good time but not great...

The facility was good but not worth the extra cost. Very good service the first few days, but then we were lost in the crowds. Thank goodness we did not opt for the royal service. Felt it was royal service the first few days, then the crowds, the construction... Royal service people were overwhelmed with jack hammers next to the secluded pool? Music was so loud to cover up the noise. Very much felt that our service dropped off when we did not display interest in time shares or other purchases [... read more]. Food was good but some evenings were disappointing. When we attempted to escape the noise of the poolside, the lovely beach area was inundated with vendors who kept circling around. Hotel staff did nothing to prevent this. Seaweed was left daily to pile on the beach... Bavaro Beach is not what it once was.... as is the case of many tropical paradises... It was a very restful time in the room, quiet and pleasant. The supposed HD tv was nothing more than a very old projection that most days would not work. I think were done with the DR... Room safe did not work at first but hotel very quickly repaired. Felt our room was secure and the grounds very lovely. The view when you first arrive, in the daytime, is very beautiful as the lobby contrasted to the nearby ocean. Shared the first day that our shower drain did not flow well, was never dealt with. It was a pleasant and nice stay, but not worth the added expense.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Great staff nice resort

The staff does an amazing job here , the property isn't huge but it's part of the playa Dorado complex and I think one of if not the nicest one . Foods pretty good drinks are pretty good beach is pretty nice pool is decent size for property kind of 3 leaf clover shaped , rooms nice size and clean . 3*+ imho on world scale but for the price I'd definitely recommend.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Great Family Resort

What a great Family Resort. Rooms were amazing kids had bunk beds, food was great. Kids club was amazing!!! 3 play structures in backyard. Staff was amazing kids buffet in kids club. Kids could eat anytime. Great activities in the kids club. Bouncy Castles on the beach. What a great place definitely will be visiting it again!

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Absolutely Fabulous, Best Resort we have stayed in the Dominican Republic.

The grounds were superbly maintained, tended for on a regular basis by crews of groundskeepers. The rooms we had were amazing. Clean when we arrived and each day, cleaned by the staff meticulously. The dining areas were well staffed by conscientious staff, who couldn't do enough to ensure our needs were met. The public areas were clean at all times. Can't say enough good things about the staff we met, they all had smiles and greeted us each time we saw them. If you are fortunate enough to be [... read more] in a dining room with Franklin a server, Abrahan a Manager and Maria who serves drinks at the pool, you will have a vacation you will never forget.

Excellence Punta Cana: Great vacation!

We have been to Punta Cana 5 times and enjoyed this hotel the best. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice quiet and relaxed vacation. Room was comfortable (except for a spider!) , food very good. Resort is spaced out so it does not ever seem crowded. Dining rooms very nice. Rode on the beach every day with Fausto - great horses and fun in the surf. Was too windy to swim in front of the resort (could actually surf!) but a short walk up the beach and around the bend, [... read more] the waves calmed nicely. Staff very nice as well. We will definitely go back ! We were there from Feb 1-8th, 2018.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Amazing Entertainment

I was amazed by some of the things there..Most of the staff was above and beyond amazing. The Food was usually good..Breakfast was my Favorite. The staff was either on the ball or you had to hunt them down. Long days long shifts not enough days off. I will be going to the Bahia in Mexico next. Sadly the area is so poor I felt not safe to leave the resort. We did we took a taxi and the driver was amazing he kept us safe 1 million %. Carlos and most of his team AMAZING. So friendly and HAPPY. [... read more] Air transat guy was not so great. All he cared about was sales not customer friendly. Above all Great vacation. Beaches amazing. Not bothered by the locals as bad as other Vacations Thanks for that. :)

Paradisus Palma Real Golf and Spa Resort: Five Star??

For a five Star resort it was very disappointing,the chairs at the beach were so uncomfortable, cheap and old. Most of them were broken, something you find at a 2-3 Star resorts. No bar service on the beach, we're not alcohol drinkers but sometimes we like to have a latte or a water.The food at the buffet for most part was so so, the fruit was very scarce,basic fruits such as bananas only saw it once in the week we were there. After bringing this issue to the front desk guest service staff membe [... read more]r by the name of Ana Silvereo she suggested we upgrade,I asked Ana if this resort is a five star,shouldn't this already be part of it? Anyways we just wanted a comfortable chair on the beach and bar service, so we decided to upgrade to the "Royal Service" package which is now going to cost $90us per day for both of us, but as we proceeded to purchase this "Royal Service"package, Ana said to us sorry there is a big group coming in and that service is all sold out, you'll have to buy the other package "The Reserve" package for $120 per day. I feel she was only trying to sell us the more expensive package and was not interested in helping us at all. After we left we went to check out the Reserve side which was full of kids.. We wanted to be on the adult side which was the Royal Service side.We decided to go back to the front desk at the end of the day when Ana wasn't there to ask another guest service staff member to purchase this package which appenrately was "sold out" funny that when we asked him to purchase the package it was no longer sold out. After all of that commotion we finally purchased the "Royal Service" package and went and enjoyed our 5 star comfortable $90 per day chairs at the beach. Included in this package was 2 extra restaurants that were available to royal guests only. One was called the Palazzo. This was suppose to be an exclusive restaurant. We went there for dinner only to discover a cockroach crawling on the floor. My husband pointed this out to a waiter who stepped on the roach but left it there. In conclusion we will not be returning to this resort.. We have been to many 5 star resorts in Punta Cana and this is in no way a 5 star resort.
