Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Amazing Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville Hotel

The hotel ground and public areas are well kept. The pool, as well as the beach area are beautifully maintained by workers constantly cleaning the swimming pool ground; and, they are there raking the debris off the beach sand every morning. Our room is very nice, just as it is shown in the ad. No problem with the maid making their daily round of cleaning and stocking up the fridge. The buffet food quantity are ample, with good variety to please. This hotel is a real gem.

Riu Republica: Fabulous honeymoon!

We chose this hotel for our honeymoon. We are a mature couple and weren't too sure about the adults only, but it was great! The pools are between the hotel and the beach and are laid out from party pool (with bar on the right), to a quiet pool on the left (with another swim up bar), and a medium action/noise pool in the middle. You have a perfect choice! The entertainment staff is excellent! There is also a wide variety of food. All looks great and taste is usually also good. There is  [... read more]always lots to eat! The steak house is good, first time not so great , second time amazing! The Italian was, ok but I honestly preferred the buffet. We didn't try the Japanese or the fine dining, But it was nice to have the option to just walk into any a la carte without needing a reservation. Our room was great very clean, modern and the bed was very comfortable. We were in the middle wing, ocean front, third floor. The view was amazing! The beach was unparalleled. The best sand ever, no rocks, no shells, although the water is sometimes too rough to be on the kayaks etc....the resort is on the Atlantic Ocean not on the Caribbean Sea, the water is very warm though. The beach is definitely the place to be for sunbathers and romantics. The new part of the hotel wasn't yet open but the whispers were saying by the end of November. It looks great! The best thing about this hotel is the staff. We didn't have the room we had expected when we arrived and I was quite upset. Victor at the front desk really went out of his way and made it right the next day. The servers are very friendly, happy people who seem to always be working hard. And AGAIN the entertainment staff are amazing...yes make sure you see the Tuesday night Michael Jackson show, and stay to the end, it's the best part! Special shout out to "sexy coffee" who runs all the entertainment at the quiet pool, he is hilarious and so charming! Can't wait to return!! Will definitely stay at Ruis in the future and will definitely be back here!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Beautiful resort

Grand Bahia is a beautiful resort. The ground are immaculate, the rooms are very nice and the food was excellent. The staff were a great help when we needed the doctor and also with calling back to Canada to our insurance company. The beach was our favourite. Yes there was seaweed but they were raking constantly. Only issue we had was when we went down early to get 2 chairs we marked them with 2 old tee shirts. When we went back a hour later they were gone.

Riu Republica: Lots of room to grow

This new RIU is similar to the others in terms of quality of service and food. My gardenview room was really a view of a construction site. Regular jackhammering near the lobby was a turn off. The buffet was decent and the a la carte restaurants were hit and miss. The beach was beautiful - keep in mind that the water is rough. Our phone had to be repaired three times and our safe needed fixing. Lots of small ants in our hotel room. Free taxis to shopping was nice. Hotel employees were always kin [... read more]d and good natured despite the fact that they have limited knowledge of English. Obeide at the front desk was a delight. Overall the hotel is more of a four star. If you simply want to get away from your stress in life and enjoy a break this resort is good value for money - I paid about 1200.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Mediocre

If I have to give a rating of my overall stay based on service, cleanliness and food i'd give it a 5.5. the food was very repetitive, unlike last year everyday the menu changed. I feel like the hotel is so focused on trying to get vip membership by wowing them on big things they're quality for "regular members" is really lacking. Also the cross contamination of foods was no joke. I am highly allergic to shellfish and could not eat the pasta because the chef doesn't clean the pan after serving ot [... read more]her customers who asked for shrimp in their meals. The fish was also uncooked and if asked to cook it longer it became a hassle. The tap in the tub broke as soon as I tried to turn the shower on the first day and did not get fixed til nearly 2 full days after reporting it. The sink drained very slowly and always left residue. I also made a request about that but that never got checked out. HOUSEKEEPING was so rude. They knocked everyday at 8:15 am and then continued knocking basically every 30 minutes until u got up to leave the room. They even went as far as calling the room to wake you up. I am on vacation. Chances are I drank all night and fell asleep a few hours prior. Why keep knocking and waking up your customers? Also on the last night I called the front desk to find out what time our shuttle was coming to get us. They said they didn't know even though there's a book with the disignated times and then when I called the next morning and was told an inaccurate time, nearly missed my flight, and had to pay 60 USD. One last thing that I thought was very unpleasant was the staff constantly pushing sales on you. I picked Lifestyle (Confresi) because I enjoyed my time there last year but I really was not please this year and most likely will not return to any lifestyle resorts in the Dominican Republic when I decide to go back next year.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Love it :)

First time in Dominican Republic, I could chose any resort and I always do my research, hearing that the Grand Bahia Principe was an excellent resort to be... it was true! Great choice for first timers, lots to see and lots to do! We’re going back next summer! See you soon! Thank you for the hospitality :)

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: GORGEOUS RESORT !

First time at Ambar Green ( 2nd Ambar building in the back), beautiful , clean, very well taken care of, fantastic swimming pools ( 3 of them). The food was delicious, every night a different theme, Halloween was so much fun, everybody was dressed up, really got into it ! Will be going back next year !!! Staff was extremely nice and friendly!

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: beautiful resort.

grounds were well kept and beach was kept clean by staff. negatives about over all stay. 1. no T.V. for first 3 days. 2. trip to hotel took 1 hour and 40 mins. 3. rained 4 days total, but not your fault. 4. my husband slipped and fell 3 times on slippery floor (could not tell difference on wet or shiny floor. 5. sharp 1/2 inch step in bathroom husband cut toe on it, very dangerous step if you did not see it.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Great relaxing resort

The staff were great. They did everything they could to make sure things ran smoothly and everyone was doing what they came to do. The excursions through the resort were reasonably priced, could book almost last minute, and very enjoyable. All around, great place to go, whether to relax or have fun.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Good resortg

Good resort, Normal food, Good beach and good entertainment. Only one hour of free WIFI and it too is not up to standard. It was off for more than 24 hours. Snack bar is only open till 2 AM not 24 hours.

Riu Republica: Beautiful clean resort!

Large resort lots of room For everyone. Clean rooms and grounds. Beautiful beachfront and 3 large pools where one can choose the party crowd or the quiet crowd. No reservations required for the a la cartes was nice first come first serve. We were a group of 6 or 8 for most meals and never had to wait to be seated together

TRS Turquesa: Great Resort/Excellent Value!

We loved the Royal Suites. We were located directly across from the Pool Bar and a 2 minute walk to the beach. It was also a short walk to the Lobby Bar. Although we could have hopped on the train to go for lunch at the 2 restaurants reserved for the Royal guests, most times we did walk. The French restaurant was excellent and we enjoyed the small buffet of which you could also order off a small menu. We also took advantage of the large buffet down at the beach. That was very enjoyable [... read more] at lunch time. Rooms were very clean and very well furnished. The pillow menu was also a bonus. A huge bonus for me was that I only received 1 bug bite over the 7 days. We would definitely return.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Nice resort

An understated resort. Cozy and comfortable with all the amenities one requires. This was a return visit and we're sure to return again. My only reccommendation would be signage notifying guests about cash payments required for extras. Safe lock, internet etc. All in all another wonderful stay.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Amazing

This resort gets better each time! The staff went above and beyond our expectations. The rooms are well appointed. The food was exceptional, we went to multiple a la cartes and each was very good. They were out raking every day, all day to keep the beach clean of the seaweed debris. We definitely would return for our 4th time!

Riu Republica: GREAT RESORT FOR THE PRICE

NICE RESORT, GREAT STAFF,GOOD SELECTION OF FOOD .SHOWS AT NIGHT TIME NEED SOME WORK.BAR TENDERS AND SERVING STAFF ARE GREAT.ROOMS WHERE VERY NICE AND CLEANED EVERY DAY.WE ONLY USED THE STEAKHOUSE ONCE IT WAS ALL RIGHT BUT BUFFET WAS BETTER.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Amazing resort

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Esmerela : I love it!

Spotless grounds, fabulous professional service even at the beach. Food at the buffet was good, but so much better in the al-a cart. Exception is Dominican restaurant outside :had mosquitos..food bland. Drinks all top quality. Taxi service promt. Rooms great but bed a bit hard and pillows were a 3 out of 10 Beach clean, activities good. Esmerelda is the best spot in the resort. Loved it. 3rd visit for us.

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Great resort at dreams palm beach

The hotels were great but the beach was gross because of the seaweed but we survive anyway and had a greAtweek anywAy The food was amazing we ate a la carte every night .we like the Asian restaurant the best but the others were ok too

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Excellent Service... Excellent Property!

Everything was impressive. The service, the butler service, the concierge service. The only negative would be one that is an issue at many resorts... temperature food. Hot food is barely warm on many occasions and is a serious risk to cause sickness (I was sick from day 3 on). Even when arriving to buffet as soon as they open makes no difference... the food is not kept at proper temps. Aside from that, everything was perfect. The grounds are immaculate and worth a tour and there are plen [... read more]ty of beach palapas for everyone!

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Quite resort compare to barcelo Bavaro palace

I will try keep it short and simple, it is close to airport. barcelo bavaro beach is nice and quite resort for adults only but you can use bavaro palace resort too, so you get to use two resorts for one price, barcelo bavaro palace side is more happening place, it is huge, lots of restaurants and night life, casino, disco, spa, gym only in palace side but there is also a train shuttle every ten minutes. I enjoyed more in palace side, so next time I will book that.
