Paradisus Palma Real Golf and Spa Resort: Fantastic Resort

We thought the staff kept the grounds very clean and garbage picked up often. The staff worked very hard to provide great service in the dining areas. We had wonderful meals at all the A la carts. We had kids with us so we did not enter any adults only ones. The night entertainment was a very nice selection for all guests.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Meh

Dated; broken lights; mediocre food - not what we were expecting given Royalton freely adds "luxury" after their name everywhere we looked. The app for booking a la carte res was terrible. It gave us a res on a night when the restau was closed??... It also constantly crashed. Nothing was simple or easy.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Beautiful Resort and Friendly Staff

My stay was very relaxing experience, which was the total purpose of it all. The front desk customer relations representative, Miguel AKA Mike, was very helpful from the moment I checked in. Requested for a room upgrade, in front of the pool, and he was able to do it for me right then and there. Throughout my stay, if I needed something OR I had any questions/requests, he was the person I went to. Overall, my stay was awesome!

Vista Sol Punta Cana: Vista sol punta cana

We had a great time at this resort! First reception upon arrival friendly. Actually I found all staff friendly. Would be nice if they could speak english! Vendors all spoke perfect english lol go figure. Asian japanese alacarte was amazing best meal and entertainment of the week! So much good here cant say We would definately go back!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Very nice resort

Our room was near the pool so amazing views. Riom was dated but we still liked it. The sliding doors had little gaps so we had to stuff toilet paper in as there were alot of mosquitoes. Our group of 6 had alot of bites, and beach had alot of sand pleas. Meals were disappointing actually, best was Japanese.

Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana: Amazing time!

Our family had a wonderful stay at the Dreams Macao Beach resort. Everything was very well kept and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful! The food at the restaurants were good and we had no problem getting seats at the restaurants either (thought this would be harder since we went during March break). My only wish would be that a few restaurants opened earlier as we were travelling with young kids who have early bedtimes. The entertainment for the kids after dinner was a lot of fun! Overall, w [... read more]here our room was located was fairly quiet during the night and had minimum disruptions. We would definitely recommended to families with young children!

Secrets Tides Punta Cana: Very disappointing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We expected the best as we had paid for the best package. The appearance was very new and clean. We paid for ocean view suite but no view of the ocean was there....too much beach chairs and bars everywhere, blocking the view. The cleanliness of our room was less than expected....floors and mirrors were not done for our arrival or during the stay which was disappointing. Paying for a butler was not a good decision...he did nothing for us...he said good morning and failed to follow through on an [... read more]y requests we made forcing me to go to the concierge to insist in physical accommodation to allow me to access the beach. The food at the main buffet was very disappointing so we did not eat there if we could help it. The restaurants were the best part of the experience...good staff attention and excellent meals. I would never pay for preferred status again...it was extremely expensive and not worth the service....if you were not tipping they would not serve...completely ignored us on the last day I guess since we were leaving soon but I paid for the full week of service. Lastly, the beach was not relaxing...the hotel allowed a truck load of vendors on the beach each day and they constantly begged and asked for money for their wares. In addition, people who did not pay for preferred came on our beach and got served as well so what did we pay $15, 000 for??????

Grand Bavaro Princess: Average Resort - Grand Bavaro Princess

In general, our stay was enjoyable. That was mostly due to having visited the resort the year previous so we knew what to expect and how to find the things that were most enjoyable for us. Unfortunately, however, there were some issues. We had an important sewer pipe leak just outside our room resulting in a flooding of the general area with contaminated and repulsive smelling raw sewer. Thankfully, the winds were moving away from our room so the affect was at least limited by that. The hot [... read more]el staff were quick to respond to the problem and they had it mostly repaired within a day. The a la carte restaurants had nothing to offer to our taste. We were aware of that from the previous visit. We used the buffets exclusively. The food there was predictably good and predictably poor: Good: chicken, pastas, breads, pork ham, pizza. Poor: beef, lamb, deep-fried fish all of which was mostly inedible. Pools were nice, especially the quiet pool. Ocean was what it always is - cool and refreshing. Beach well cleaned and the locals selling goods were not overly pesky. Overall, we have had worse stays (in Cuba mainly), but we certainly have had better also.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Great resort for the price!

First time at a Majestic resort although I have been to several others in this price range. This was a good one! It was very clean, service was excellent, and there was lots of entertainment and night life. The week I went, the resort was full of spring breakers. They were generally polite and well behaved, it was nice to see people having fun. And lots of opportunities for the generations to mix. At the beach party on our first night the dance floor was filled with kids and moms all having a go [... read more]od time. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. only complaint about the room and it's a big one: why the open concept bathroom? who wants that? I understand it is common in the area. (to be clear the shower and toilet are each behind a frosted glass door, but they face an open space that includes the sinks and tub. You wouldn't want anyone coming to the room while someone is using the toilet, they would have to walk right past and would get a view of the person's knees through the frosted glass!) Beach was lovely although the shade/palapa areas were very tightly crowded together. The hotel was full, yet we were able to get lounge chairs by the pool at any time, at the quiet end of the pool if nowhere else. OK with me. By mid-afternoon spots tended to open up in the shade at the beach. This is better than some. The evening entertainment was excellent! We only attended two shows in the theatre and both were great. The absolute best and most memorable was the rock show. My compliments to all of the performers: singers, dancers, the band, and the lead guitarist. Everyone was professional and very talented. I felt privileged to see that show. The second show we saw was the Michael Jackson show (I think every resort does one of these) Very good dancing and lip synching and very entertaining. But nothing like the live vocals and live music of the rock show. Meals were OK. We had a couple of great ones (once at the Rodeo Grill steak house, and the other at Le Gourmet), and others that were just OK, but I don't like to complain - with the logistics of feeding so many people it must be hard to keep everything just so. I certainly got enough to eat, lots of variety and plenty of healthy choices. One thing I didn't like: on our first day one of the animation crew approached my husband and me by the pool and asked if we were having fun, then asked us to scan a QR code on his phone and leave a 5 star review, right then and there. We did explain it was our first day and we would leave a review after our vacation. I thought oh darn, did I make a mistake? I chose this resort because of the good reviews but is this how they get those good reviews? Anyway here I am writing a good review after returning. It really was one of the better experiences we have had in this price range. I would return and would recommend it to friends. Also: please bring cash for tips - perhaps a percentage of what you paid for your vacation - and plan to spend it! We are privileged to be able to have a vacation like this and the staff depend on the tips.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: 2nd time at this resort and loved it even more!

Last year we stayed in an older "house" and while it was quite nice with a canopy over the bed and terra cotta everywhere, this time around the newly renovated house (#10) closer to the beach was gorgeous. Spotless! Decor all in beige and cream with ratan lighting, minimalist decor, very tidy. Staff was great, the odd grump but most were so kind and so welcoming. Our room was always cleaned up spotlessly with fresh towels and fridge stocked. Food was as expected. We're not fussy so alway [... read more]s able to find things to eat. Breakfast was our favourite, omelette guy and smoothie girl were our highlights to start the day. Omelette guy would sing to us with a beautiful voice and smoothie girl was just the sweetest. Pick of 3 restaurants, we did seafood restaurant and loved. Mediterranean was so-so and Japanese was not so good. this time around we discovered the Bavaro next door (via beach) has a lunch buffet that we could also go to and it was very good. Amazing view and a great hostess Elisabetha. Beach was beautiful. Some days alot of seeweed so we would walk up the shore to swim. some days no seeweed and gorgeous clear water. We would go early each morning (6:30ish) to put towels on our chaise lounge other wise you would not have a good spot come 9 a.m. I'm pretty sure some people leave their towels on the lounges over night! It was worth it to see the sunrise each morning! We are not pool people but the pool areas always look like a lot of fun. Check in both years have been extremely slow and you can see a lot of peoples getting frustrated checking in, so be prepared for that and all will be great. Your'e in paradise, enjoy!

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Very nice resort!

We were a family of four traveling to Ocean El Fero. 2 adults and 2 teens. This is a typical all inclusive resort, but I really have nothing bad to say about it. Even at max capacity itwasn’t overcrowded. We were always able to reserve seats as long as we went out early,and the food was pretty decent for Dominican Republic. Our room had a nice patio with a swing and there were some rooms that were swim out, which looked very nice. We spent quite a bit of time at the beach and the lazy river. We [... read more] arrived on a Thursday and there were many vendors pressing for sales in the main eating area, which was a bit alarming as we were just arriving, but they were only there that first day possibly every Thursday? Overall, a great experience I wouldn’t return unless it was free as there’s too many other places to see, but not for any other reason.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Great resort

We went a family of 4 with two teenagers. We had a great time at this resort. The lazy river was fun, bring your own floaties though. Food was pretty good, but we aren’t picky. The beach was beautiful and the drinks were delicious. They workers are the resort were fantastic and cheerful. I would definitely recommend.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Great Family Vacation!

We had a great time at the Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana! Our room was awesome for the 5 of us! A family with three daughters needs two bathrooms! The resort was clean and well kept. The food was pretty good. The Indian A la carte restaurant (Thali) was our favourite!!! The entire staff was friendly and the entertainment was excellent! A great time enjoyed by all!

Ocean Blue and Sand: great resort

hotel was great easy to navigate. rooms were very good . ala carteecomfortable beds bathroom was a great size walk in shower was huge with all the goods you would need and more. buffet restaurants were very good with lots to choose from.a la carte restaurants were good all very close to everything.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Nice fun resort

Enjoyed our stay at this resort. Buffet was outstanding. Ala carte restaurants were very difficult to book due to the fact there were only 14 restaurants to accommodate this massive chain of resorts. Other than that, rooms were very nice. Next visit will be the Ambar at Bahia principe. Right on the beach and best for activities and entertainment.

Occidental Punta Cana: Fantastic time

We had an absolute fantastic time at the Occidental punta cana. Rooms were huge and updated, pools were beautiful, beach and ocean spectacular, food amazing. If you don't want to be bombarded by usa university students ide suggest you don't go in March though. Lolol.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Amazing Resort, Beach, Staff, and Food - Highly Recommend

We loved our vacation! I took my 9yo son who immediately made loads of vacation friends and was living his best life between the waterpark and the beach. You get to use the Splash and the Royalton Punta Cana Resort. Its a BIG place, but the little trolley runs all the time and you never wait longer than 5min for a trolley. Reservations are hard to get for the a la cartes, but the food was great when we did get a reservation. The buffets were great. The rooms are basic, clean and modern enough. T [... read more]he staff were all amazing and we are so grateful for their kindness when one day my son got too much sun and became very ill. They were incredible. Honestly? I have no complaints! They're doing a great job at this resort and I absolutely recommend it.

Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Catalonia bavaro

Needs a refresh. Most bathrooms are rough. Buffet mediocre. Main buffet is terrible. Service is non existent. Staff pretty good at beach buffet and specialty restaurants. Our service got better when they realized we were tipping well for every meal. Beautiful beach. Most privilege advantages not available. 9 hole Golf finally worked after negotiating fora better price. 200$ for 9 rounds instead of 60$ per round.

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Relaxing Resort

Stayed at Catalonia Royal Bavaro. All the staff were great, especially the front desk and the pool servers! Resort is on the more quiet side, but if you wanted more activity you could just walk next door to the family resort. The pool was great and warm! Restaurants were wonderful. The rooms were a good size but dated, could use some updating. The resort was clean, even the bathrooms by the pool. Took advantage of the spa and had an amazing foot massage! The beach area was a little disappointing [... read more], not really the nice beaches that you usually see in Punta Cana but we spent most of our time at the pool.
