Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Great Resort

Over all Great Resort . From staff to food to bars , to rooms was great . I do recommend to bring bug spray as all of us were bitten lots . The beach swim area has coral in it ( which u r not warned about ) so If u are not aware of it you may end up with some nasty scratches . I would go again in a heart beat

IFA Bavaro Village: Fantastic place

The hotel was beautiful, the grounds were very well kept, the rooms need a lot of improvement, there were no bath towels in the room I took a shower and had to dry myself with the bath mat, In the two weeks we were there they change the towels twice, the glasses were never replaced, the bed creeked every time you turned. we cleaned the table there was a rubber stuck in the middle so if we played cards it would get stuck. the beach was beautiful, but there was a deisal fumes that was very irrit [... read more]ating wheather it was from the the construction or the boats you couldn't tell. there were no bathrooms close to the bars, wifi was free only if you paid 40.00 dollars for the password.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Great value

Very clean , food was very good , beach nice but water was churning so brownish . Lots of seaweed on beach . Pools were nice and well kept . A la carte restaurants really nice and excellent service . Activities during the day and night shows as well .

Paradisus Punta Cana: 3 star hotel with the potential to become 5 star

Paradisus Punta Cana presents itself beautifully. The grounds are spectacular and their eco-friendly setting is magnificent. Everything is spotless. The staff are very friendly and helpful although at times the lack of proficient English made it difficult to communicate our needs. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best and far too often only lukewarm. On one occasion the breakfast buffet was so cold that it was impossible to eat. The Royal Service section was the only exception where [... read more] the service and food was impeccable. As well, the buffet was very limited in its choices. On three nights around 2:00 am there were very rowdy and loud guests on the grounds which the staff did nothing to stop. We loved the pool and were impressed by how hard the staff worked to make the guests welcome. We were disappointed in our room as it looked nothing like the advertised pictures. The maids never noticed when we were out of toilet paper and kleenex and had no face clothes so I had to go looking for somebody to get them for us. The public areas were beautiful but the suites are in bad need of a facelift. The walkways were poorly lit at night with uneven and cracked flagstone which were very dangerous and scary to navigate in the darkness. We feel that the hotel is over rated as a 4.5 but with some tweaking could merit the rating that they claim. It is well suited to a younger crowd and is ideal for families. Unless you are lucky enough to get a room near the pool, you had to walk a long way to get to the pool and restaurants. We will not return to this resort.

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Great resort

Restaurants were very good and buffet [... read more] was good as well . This is our favorite resort in punta cana and we will definitely be returning !

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: The Resort was Good

Overall the resort was good. Only negative thing I could say is the service lacked. Didn’t seem like customer service was a priority in the main buffet. Most walked around looking like they hated there jobs. Otherwise the food was great. The pool was great! The beach was maintained. Just the overall service lacked. I would go back. I just know I won’t need much tip money. And that I probably will have to get my own coffee in the morning!

Riu Republica: This Hotel should have rating 3 Stars

I was there with my 2 sons, booked 2 rooms. 1st my room phone did not work. I complained for 3 consecutive days and finally on day 3, I was told that it is not fixable and they moved me to a different room, this time closer to my sons, however it was not Garden View as requested and payed for. When in this the phone was working, however Shower was not as well as Hair Dryer was not and the room safe was locked. I advised the reception and the Shower and Hair Dryer were then fixed but the safe in  [... read more]the room NOT. It was not corrected during my entire stay, I had a huge concern about my valuables as I needed to take them with me everywhere. I was not able to enjoy the pool or the ocean as I was continually concerned about my valuables and therefore confined to my pool or beach chair. Food was OK as well as service in the restaurants, however only local wine and extremely limited international liquors .... most liguors mentioned on their menu were not available during my entire stay. NO I would not recommend this resort for anyone seeking 4 or 5 star accommodations. On the positive .... relatively new hotel with lots of choices for dinning.

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Wonderful vacation

Having never been to the Dominican Republic before, we initially found this resort to be a little tired and in need of some TLC. Having said that, after taking some long leisurely strolls down the beautiful beach, we found it to be one of the nicest in the area. Restaurants on site were a bit hit-and-miss. We read glowing reviews of the Italian restaurant on the Now Garden property but we were very disappointed with the food and the service. Our next choice was the Blue Water Grill and I'm sorry [... read more] to say we found it to be equally dissatisfying. After that though, it was all uphill. The French restaurant was amazing, food and service. The Hibachi Grill was well worth having to get a reservation for. The Mexican restaurant was also very good and the main buffet offered a large assortment of amazing foods. We only ate breakfast there. Everything was within a short stroll of our room including the beach which I can't say enough about it. We did notice on our many walks that the beach at this resort was absolutely one of the best as far as size and huts providing shade. We upgraded to preferred status and took advantage of the excellent beach bar service as well as Castaways Restaurant/Bar. It was very well located to the beach and pool areas. Weather was perfect which was a real bonus!

Casa Marina Reef Resort: amazing resort

I found that resort has had many renovations which are very nice but staff are overworked and are not as able to friendly service to visit er as they were able to last year.last year it was nice for staff to have a minute or two to speak with visiters like to know a bit about there family's and lifestyles.

IFA Villas Bavaro Beach Resorts: Good Resort

We work in the hotel business so I know a little on what to expect. We enjoyed the IFA Villas Bavaro during the week of January 20th, 2018. Our rooms where well taken care of by Maria in the main pool, which we nicknamed the Loud Side. She changed our towels daily, cleaned our room and left us water when asked. The resort grounds where spotless, not a speck of garbage to be seen, a few cups here and there but they where quickly picked up. The quiet pool was quiet nice and not very busy. The P [... read more]ikalo Pizza hut was good, we ate there almost every day or the lunch buffet. The breakfast buffet was pretty much the same daily. I am picky so I pretty much had the same thing daily, but there was a lot to choose from, BUT it was never different. We did eat at two of the specialty restaurants that where good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall the bedrooms, pool area and the restaurants where very clean and comfy! Only issue I saw was a little mold in the shower area. We did go to the beach one morning but we are more pool people. The only thing regarding the Loud pool is it needed a paint job and handles for those that have trouble walking or the elderly and the quiet pool needed handles also. The only thing that caught my eye as soon as we got off the bus was the staff did not connect with people. This is the first resort that we have ever been to and yes we have been to a few that the staff where like robots, there just to get their pay and not interact with the guests. It was very odd as there was tons of staff around. I feel that if the resort management is to work on the friendliness of the staff, as a genuine smile and OLA goes a long way. As for the food, you make due....oh the booze was a plenty!!!

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Great resort!

Hotel grounds are beautiful Beach is good, although there were some seaweeds, but they were removed in timely manner by the hotel personal Food is delicious and drinks are awesome Room are clean and large I would definitely recommend this hotel

Casa Marina Reef Resort: Average Resort

The front lobby is old and unappealing but the resort behind it is much better. There have been a lot of renovations but there are a substantial amount of rooms to be refurbished yet. The buffet was excellent but the a la carte restaurants did not measure up. Our phone never did get hooked up for the entire week even though we told them everyday. There was no Wifi in the rooms just in certain areas around the bars and snackbars. This we found out after paying 27 US for internet. The buffet wa [... read more]s an exceptionally long walk from our room and the walways are very uneven and hard to negotiate for older people. The beach and pools were great and the staff very friendly. I got my monies worth but will go to a better class hoetel next time.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Fantastic vacation

Beautiful resort and wonderful people. The beach was breath taking and the food was excellent. Staff took care of all of our needs with a smile. Room we booked was low so requested a room higher up, without a problem we were given a beautiful roogm with a beach view the same day we arrived. We also met two wonderful people Yolanda and Henry, who gave us a seat at the French restaurant that you must pay for, for free, due to a power outage. Overall our stay was fantastic! Excellent people, food,  [... read more]and service. Will definitely be going back again!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Perfect vacation

We were a group of 8 adults. The resort is gorgeous and the staff are amazing. We had a perfectly relaxing vacation. Food is delicious, drinks are a plenty. The only negative about this resort is the water at the beach, it is not turquoise blue.

Cayo Levantado Resort: Excellent resort and location

Everything was great. Staff couldn’t do enough for you especially around the pool and beach area. Not that other staff members in other areas were any different. Buffet had everything you could want and Don Pablo restaurant was fantastic. Excellent vacation and would return even though it’s going to go as a family resort unfortunately. One minor problem though our travel agent advised the resort that it was our wedding anniversary. Nothing materialized although we had observed several units  [... read more]throughout the resort with door saches etc for birthdays and anniversaries. Just not us
