Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Very Good Resort

Grounds are beautiful Food and drink are plenty. Rooms comfortable with very nice balconies to view pool, garden or beach Animation team excellent Service very good - they aim to please. Market/store on site very reasonable as compared to buying merchandise at airport Location close to airport - short shuttle ride to resort

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Majestic Colonial Punta Cana

Just arrived back from 9 days at the Majestic Colonial Punta Cana. The resort itself is very clean, and the ground are very well maintained. Staff are quite friendly and for the most part very willing to help. The beach was fantastic, and again very well maintained by the hotel staff. Weather was just perfect!! We had booked the Adults only section c/w butler service etc. When we arrived on Dec 1st it was clear the renovations that had taken place for the past several months were not fini [... read more]shed, this resort never should have opened for at least another month. The VIP check in was not finished, room had no Wi Fi, phone not working ( big issue if you need a wake up call or have to contact your butler) TV did not work ( not a big deal for us) , mini fridge did not work. We were told, it's not supposed to keep the beverages cold, not sure what the purpose of the mini fridge was for then? Main buffet washrooms not ready, and a few mornings at breakfast they ran out of bottled water, the hand dryers did not work in several of the washrooms on the resort and also lacked toilet tissue on many occasions We were relocated to the Mirage which was a huge disappointment as our new room faced the construction of the new Royalton, and construction ran until midnight. Not an issue during the day as we spent our day at the beach, big issue at night time!! I'd like to make a special mention to several staff at the Colonial who helped make our trip memorable 1) Emmanuel our butler - the best ever !!! 2) Hector at the towel hut in the VIP section, 3) Oscar in the VIP lounge Also special mention to Miguelina our wonderful bar tender at the Majestic Mirage - and of course the beautiful Johanna who made the best martinis!!

Cayo Levantado Resort: Great resort too bad it’s changing to a kid place

Super clean with amazing staff. Nothing disappointing about this place. They are changing the guest model in May 2018 to include children. We prefer adult only resorts so we are a little sad and probably won’t return for that reason. Fantastic resort and holiday

Riu Republica: Riu Republica Punta Cana. Great Resort.

Grounds were clean and well kept. The beach was very nice. Large waves (a matter of preference - I like this) We booked an oceanview room and we were very happy with the view, the quality the size and the cleanliness of the room.

Cayo Levantado Resort: Second trip to this amazing resort..

Cayo Levantado is an amazing resort, for those who want relaxation, seclusion, and wonderful service. Staff are always accommodating, the service is impressive, ant the resort grounds are beautifully manicured. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for something a little off the beaten path in the Dominican. Service, food choices, and facilities at the resort are all top shelf. Transfer times are reasonable, the Samana airport is small, but very efficient.

Bahia Principe Escape Samana: Gorgeous, Tranquail, and Amazing resort

Grounds: Well kept, always staff cleaning to maintain spotless - beach and interlocking brick, as well as interior. Hotel room: Size is just right, beautiful view of the ocean, maid service in the am and turn down service in the pm complete with pillow chocolate. Beach: Never an issue with obtaining a shelter. Wait staff fantastic. Lobby bar: was the best for mixed drinks. ***Pina Coladas*** Restaurants: All were great. We enjoyed the Brazilian twice, and the gourmet for French ni [... read more]ght. We were not able to try the Italian. Entertainment: Was Okay. But we were so relaxed and enjoying everything else, we didn't mind. Health and Wellness: Fantastic!!!! This is a relaxation resort. Eco crafts, eco walks, and yoga.

Now Garden Punta Cana: Great short stay

The Now Garden is a smaller atmosphere place. The check in was very informal and very quick. the check in staff, especially Eva M. was extremely proficient and friendly. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The Italian restaurant just off in the Lobby was excellent pasta foods and pizza's for dinner which also has the breakfast areas. Caroline was the door hostess who was a special treat with her exceptional kindness and friendliness. Luis at the little Lobby bar was also very friendly [... read more] and a pleasure to deal with. The other restaurants which is a short tram ride or about a 10 min walk over to the Lorimar were also good in regards to both food and service. The Lorimar's had nightly entertainment which keep the large gathering pleased with various much and a variety of entertainments. The disco that was upstairs and open air concept keep the after show crowd dancing and half open , half close concept is a nice concept with the night air blowing thru. They had a beach party with a bar on the beach and a very nice fire show. They did have some issues with continually running out of beer through out the days at the poolside bars which had many patrons unhappy. I found the beach area to be very large with plenty of available lounge chairs. One of the items that was confusing is that there are no wrist bands and there are VIP areas that are not clearly marked. I went to several areas the staff informed me that I was not VIP status and was not allowed there ( One bar and pool area and a restaurant by the beach). It would be a good Idea for the check in staff to advise of this . Overall very pleasant experience. Would consider a return visit.

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: Amazing Resort

We stayed recently at Iberostar Bavaro suits with another four couples and head great time. Grounds are beautiful; beach is big so we had no problems to find a place on the beach. We all love ocean and although was rough sea we were able to enjoy water and swim. Entertainment was good and weather nice. What to say about a food? It was plenty of food and large variety of dishes and also very nicely displayed. Rooms and all restaurants were very clean. Also we were lucky to see a beautiful Christm [... read more]as decorations. Staff was pleasant, smiley and friendly. We loved time spent at the resort and resort itself. We would definitively go back.

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Quiet and Relaxing Resort

Probably one of the most relaxing locations we have visited. We chose the "Select" booking and were not disappointed for the most part. Food and drinks were better than a regular booking. However, the hotel website lists many items which are not included but expected in the future. (i.e. Cigar club, climbing wall, exercise room.) The grounds are expansive and quite well maintained with the exception of some of the walkways are paving bricks which are unlevel in some areas and could be a hazard.  [... read more]With the "Select" booking, we had access to all areas of the resort including the "Premium" club areas. The Cooee club for Select guests offers excellent drinks and a variety of excellent snacks throughout the day. We had access to tablets throughout the day and evening to check email and go online. Food was good and typical of the Dominican Republic resorts. Our room had been recently updated and still had poor television reception and function. Cleanliness was excellent but towels changed and absent too often. Sheets were changed daily but sometimes no top sheet under the comforter. The entertainment was supplied by hotel staff and thus, it was really not worth attending. The hotel is also the destination of many Europeans who come for extended stays due to the long flight times and bus transportation. Very few Canadians were there during our stay. In all, it was a relaxing destination if you wish to read and enjoy the climate and the beach. We also did the National Park tour and would recommend you save your money and skip it.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Impressive resort

Just completed a weeks vacation at this resort. Superior room was excellent food was great staff very pleasant and helpful shows were great grounds well kept I would return to this resort and recommend it to others.

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Amazing Resort..been there 5 times...already planning on going back for #6

We have been here 5 times now and loved each one a little better then the previous. The grounds are immaculate, very well kept property. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable, this is certainly not a party resort like you would find in Punta Cana They have completed a major upgrade over the last year and now this resort could very easily be called a 5* The pools are stunningly beautiful Large beautiful beach area with lots of room and no crowding, plenty of chairs to go around the SELEC [... read more]T club option is amazing, great snacks throughout the day, and the sitting area and pool are nice there also The people are great, very welcoming and kind Beautifully placed in the countryside and surrounded by nature and a beautiful beach A short 10 minute walk into the small town, great locals, and great food in town The resort food is amazing, and seems to get better every year This a great resort for children, safe, secure, lots to do

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: Amaizing resort

Amazing resort, fantastic food and service, very nice beach, but lousy entertainment. Nice a la cart restaurants especially buffets and barbecue. Very nice holiday lights around whole area and decorations.

Grand Palladium Select Bavaro: WOW !!

Its only 3.5 hours to paradise !! Everything was amazing . We had much to learn as this was our first all inclusive getaway . The restaurants were top notch with amazing 5 course meals and very friendly staff .

Riu Republica: Great Resort

I read through the many reviews of this hotel as I usually do before leaving for my vacation to pick up tips about any essentials I need to pack. Most of the reviews were negative, complaining about the food, the beach, the air conditioning, etc., none of which I experienced at this great hotel. I have traveled to many all inclusive resorts and this one is my absolute favourite for entertainment. With so many pools and swim-up bars to choose from, each with a different vibe, you could always  [... read more]find just the right spot. There were chairs galore on the beach and at the pools and unlike most resorts, they didn't seem to be saved with unused towels all day by others who never showed up. There were exercise programs and games all day long scattered throughout this large resort. The entertainment staff were so friendly, always smiling and engaging, but not too pushy. The water slides were crazy fun and well managed. With 2 separate stages for entertainment in the evening and the disco afterwards for the late nighters, there was something for everyone. I loved the smaller stage that closed around 11pm each night as it was more interactive with the audience and there was lots of dancing. The larger stage actually had more professional acts than other resorts I've been to. This adults only resort does not have a Spring Break vibe, there were visitors young and old mixing together with no segregated areas where you felt out of place. If you are tired of the tired entertainment at other resorts, you gotta check it out!

Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort: Paradisiac place with horrible beat as a background!

The grounds, rooms, features are awesome. The horrible part is to be subjected to techno-music everywhere, all the time. We cannot listen to Nature but a constant beat called music. Good food, very small beach.

The Level at Melia Caribe: A big disappointment

The room was beautiful. The beaches were beautiful. That’s about the only good thing of our trip. The food was terrible. The worst Iv had in the Caribbean. Our travel agent claimed it was the best she’s ever had. Guess I should recommend some places to her. The people non stop harass you to buy stuff. We avoided the beach because they constantly tried to sell us drugs and knick nacks. We did a dune buggy excursion which was basically a single file slow follow the leader to three different sp [... read more]ots where they try to sell you more stuff. It honestly felt like the whole resort revolves around trying to force the traveller to doll out as much cash for garbage as possible. The staff will spite you with poor service if you don’t tip on basically everything. I definitely would not come back.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Good Resort,

Hotel very nice. Adult pool just perfect for noise and games. Beach was good. food Good but Transat organization and check in was horrible and the hotel needed to somehow let people know about the theathre shows better. Lack or organization there too. Did not like the bar closing at 11:30 on the ambar blue and have to go all the way to the village. otherwise, the rooms, food and grounds were great.

Riu Republica: Riu Republica punta cana dominican republic

I stayed at this resort dec 1-8. I have been to many resorts in cuba and mexico but this is the best resort I have ever been to. What stands out the most is how clean everything and every place in the resort was. Workers were so friendly. Nobody was trying to sell you a timeshare. The drinks were amazing. The food was excellent. Presentation of the food was unbelievable and every day on the buffet was different and such a huge selection. The beach was beautiful. I have never been [... read more] to a resort where I have said I would go back but I may never go anywhere else except this resort now because I don't want to be disappointed if it is not up to their standards. I highly recommend this resort and the cost is reasonable. thanks sue

Lifestyle Residence Suites: Excellent vslue

Good value for your money. Beach nice but small in size compared to other resorts. Pools were nice with a good selection ie quiet or entertainment staff. Room was outdated but Ac and beds were very good lots of hot water as well. We stayed at the Residence Suites.

TRS Cap Cana Hotel: Good resort

The grounds were beautiful and well kept. Beautiful scenery. There is no beach, so if booking here you have to be a pool person. There are shuttles to go to some beaches (3shuttles going in morning and 3 returning in afternoon) BUT there is not drinks or food there provided. The rooms were clean, but so VERY damp! Felt like we were sleeping in water all the time. We had a good week, but, I would not recommend to my friends or family.
