Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Great resort

This resort is well maintained: grounds and pool very good. The rooms are large and no complaints about cleanliness. Fresh towels each day, bar always stocked and beautiful flowers tugged in towels daily. Restaurant had a large variety of good food to choose from and service was one day good and the next a bit slow, but all in all cannot complain. Entertainment, wether day or evening could be better and needs improvement, especially sports.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Good value

The resort was great but the effort Tripcentral made for our request was very lacking.Ambar green was only about 75%full and we were put in the old section on the third floor where the shower was in the hot tub very unsafe for seniors.We were able to change rooms ourselves very easily.I would not recommend tripcentral any more.

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Superb!

The resort was absolutely amazing. The hotel, the food, the pool, the sun and staff were great! Everything was close and convenient. The staff were pleasant and kind. Clean with a bunch of activities to do for any family. A heartbeat away!

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Nice Resort!

This resort was very comfortable! The grounds were beautiful and the room and dining areas were great! We enjoyed the nightly shows and appreciated the helpful staff. Transportation from and to the airport was excellent.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Not worth it!!! Really bad resort

I don't want to be a party pooper BUT I must say what I think about this resort because we also work hard to pay off a week of vacation, some of us overpay for what we get here, I'm not a picky person at all, this was my 4th time in Punta Cana and this resort isn't a 4 1/2 as they said, this is more like a 3 star. Check in was sweet and short Loved it, until you get caught by these Yellow shirt guys that make it look so fun until he tells you that you are getting a "welcome breakfast" a breakfa [... read more]st that you paid already lol.. but to really sale you timeshare, I was straight up with him because I knew what it was but he continue bugging asking for a time for it so I gave it to him, the next day he was there waiting (even when I told him that I wasn't interested) then he gets all mad because we didn't want to go and we also had an excursion to go to! Well buddy Too bad, I went there for a vacation not to waste half of my day with you. The rooms were basic but clean, they cleaned everyday, we had two rooms and in one of them my sister found a cockroach on the bed! Yuck! The buffet food was just ok. You can find something to eat, but it was always the same food or food from the previous night, Breakfast was always My favourite, the Omelet guy "Marcos always have a smile for you" and I loved it. The servers in the buffet area are very pleasant and always smiling, a big Thank You to Roldán, Carlos (El Comandante) y Julio who made our mornings wonderful, full of laughs! Keep up the good work. The restaurants were good, the steak house was good, again thank you Julio and Jovanni, and the Italian was ok. Again I don't like these "first come, first serve" it doesn't work like that, they should make reservations for us like most resorts do in Punta Cana, not being in a huge line up to get a table of 8 people, insane... oh and you better be there by 5 pm to eat a decent meal... Mike coffee was really good! The entertainment was poor, I'm not sure if it was because of low season as they said, not entertainment for kids at all, but it needs a big improvement. The pools were nice, our favourite place to hang out. The beach.... the beach.... you know! We paid all these money for the beach (at least I do because I don't have a beach here) but it was a big disappointment (even tho I knew what to expected) but it is more worse then expected... the beach in that area is gorgeous but at this resort is BAD and those sand bags made look really bad, i understand why they did it but the smell in the morning is bad, I'm not sure if it is because of the sand bags or the amount of seed weeds that gets accumulated around these bags, Yes, some guys try to clean the beach but also with little bags and a broom is brutal for them, they should get a small truck to help out to clean this beach constantly at least. The buffet lunch at the beach it wasn't good, not food or BBQ at the beach like many resorts do, example: paella, fish, roast pig etc.... The guy who makes the panini I don't think he wants to work there maybe they should get him another job, he was a very boring Person to deal with compare to other employees. I love Punta Cana, like I told them that's my second home but this resort isn't worth it... I love Dominican people and I will definitely come back but not to this resort.

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Don't go here

The front desk staff are rude and arrogant. The rooms are falling apart. Food is mediocre. Activity staff non-existent. Offered drugs on the resort by staff. Prostitution EVERYWHERE. Nice beaches though.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Beyond Expectations

I was pleasantly surprised. We went on a Weds to Weds late May, not too busy. Adults only. We arrived before the rooms were ready, our luggage was taken care of with no worries. We went straight to the buffet. The buffet had a great variety of diverse foods, we ate shrimp, squid mussels every day. The a la cart restaurants were fabulous. I had lobster 4 out of 7 nights no additional charge. As you can tell I'm a seafood lover. There was chicken, pork, beef you name it. Deserts were lovely  [... read more]and so many different options. The staff were friendly, the rooms were spacious and clean. the beach was superb. We brought cheap little floaties with mesh from Canadian tire they were a great enhancement for the ocean. The water was calm, the white beach sand soft on the feet. We went over to the Barcello Palace, it was loud and busy, we were happy to go back to our resort. There is lots to do. There is a little park near the convention centre, lots of Peacocks and a nice garden. The grounds are very clean. We had a great vacation and will definitely go back.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Awesome resort

When you drive up to the resort it doesn't look like much from the street, however once inside it is awesome. Great food, something there for everyone, very friendly and accommodating staff, drinks are great, just the right size resort to relax. Beach has a lot of vendors, but politely say no thanks and they will continue on they're way. I would highly recommend this resort, amazing bang for your buck.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Excellent resort

The VH Gran Ventana beach resort was an amazing experience. The staff was very professional and friendly . The food was great and the entertainment was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone interested in a relaxing experience.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Amazing resort

It is a very nice and clean hotel. Everyone is very friendly. Will sure recommend this hotel to my family and friends.Pools are excellent! Need to have more English speaking staff. Also would like to have DJ played a mixed music e.g soca music.

Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Amazing Resort

The grounds are amazing, beautifully well kept. The staff are friendly, polite, fantastic people. The beach is amazing, the animation team is great. The rooms are nice and big and so clean. The shower is a little small but there's also a large tub in the bathroom you can hop into.

Excellence El Carmen: Stunning Luxurious Resort with the most amazing people!

From the moment you step out of the airport transfer which was included in our package you are immediately welcomed and your bags taken. They start the checking in process quickly and have champagne waiting for you before you even walk inside. These giant dark doors automatically open and you get a glance of the huge stunning lobby with beautiful polished stone and rich finishes. It's hard to pay attention to guest services while your checking in because it is so nice. Our bell man Sergio "b [... read more]est of the best" was more fantastic and very energetic and always making us laugh and feeling good. We were in our room and had our bags quickly. Our room was gorgeous, we choose a 2nd floor suite in the main building facing the center of the resort with a outstanding view of the resort, palm trees and the ocean in the back ground and the sunrises were really beautiful. It was a Terrace Suite with plunge pool and again was amazing. High end finishes, stone everywhere, custom glass enclosures, flush mount rain showers, in room safe in a custom floor to ceiling cabinets. A huge king size bed that is sooo comfortable as well as a jam packed mini bar and 2 flat screen Tvs. Giant patio door and all glass wall makes for a wonderful view even from bed. Whirlpool enclosed in glass with private shutters if wanted was a nice touch and we loved our plunge pool and laying on the sun loungers on the terrace. They kept the room clean and the mini bar stoked and adjusted when asked. Only tired room service once and it was ok nothing to rave about and nothing to complain about. The property is very well laid out and maintained and they are always working on it constantly. It is really a piece of paradise. We had breakfast at the buffet every morning in theThe Kitchen Table and it was great! Fresh food of all kinds the biggest selection I have ever seen and all soo good. Our favourite was the omelette station and El Jeni who made our mornings fun and always made us smile and made a damn good omelette. We also tried The Lobster House and The Grill and both were very tasty with fresh well seasoned and uniquely prepared food. My steak came out a beautifully cooked med rare sirloin strip and it was melt in your mouth good and seasoned perfect. We went on a few excursions so we didn't have much time to eat alpt at resort. We did get to do it beach dinner and it was so cool! We were served a tropical drink on our way in and spoke to hostess and were seated immediately. A buffet fit for a king with unlimited authentic booths of food prepared in so many different ways and flavours, grills fill the air with such a savoury smell while the band plays authentic and current music with a Caribbean twist. We met a great couple at this dinner and had a blast till it was over. The beach is beautiful and I love here little huts and comfy sun loungers. They get lots of seaweed sometimes but work hard on taking it up. The swim up bar is perfect and when your relaxing at the pool in a lounger or in the pool they make sure your drinks are never empty or not for long. There were a few minor things but really nothing not expected for a new resort and if anything arouse it was taken care of quickly and we were happy with all the service we received. The shows were all good but our favourites were the circus and the fire show. The live music at night is fun and they get you up dancing and having a good time always. We can't wait to go back as we absolutely loved EEC and the people throughout. I want to give a special thank you to all the people in general, the front desk staff and especially Yamirsy "shaky shaky", Sergio "best of the best" bell man, Julio, Bruno mars, Spaghetti, El Jeno "omelette king", Christiana "happy birthday", & our west jet rep Ernesto. Together they made our stay unforgettable. I'm forgetting names as well. I can't wait to go back as we now plan to spend a lot more time at EEC in the future.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Great Family Resort

This was our 2nd time back to the Majestic Colonial, and it did not disappoint. A new part of the experience this time was going with children and utilising the "Splash Kids Club". I have to give special mention to the staff at the kids club, they made the trip especially enjoyable for our 7 and 3 year old children. The kids did not want to leave whenever we came to collect them, and they made a lot of friends with the other children. Service, food and rooms are all top notch here. The on [... read more]e thing that was not as good as I remembered was the beach....this time around there seemed to be quite a bit of sea weed washed up on the beach which was not there last time we stayed here. I don't know if it depends on the weather maybe? I would not hesitate to book again at this resort, although I may wait a few years before returning just to try out some other locations.

Paradisus Punta Cana: 25th Anniversary Trip

Everything was as advertised. Large, beautiful resort is well maintained. Service was great. Food was good too. Rooms were clean. The people here are very pleasant. Large beach area. Pool area is also very large. This resort never feels crowded. We would definitely live to return to this resort.

Sunscape Puerto Plata: Amazing Resort - I am definitely going back

This resort was absolutely beautiful! The food was amazing. I loved "Windows" restaurant. This was the buffet restaurant and the food was impeccable. The service was amazing. Those who waited on us were attentive and joyful. I also enjoyed the Pizza shop and Cafe Coco! The Asian restaurant was on point too. We had the deluxe Pool side room with a private balcony which was stunning and clean. Our maid was the best. She really out did herself with making sure our room was well stocked with towels [... read more], beverages etc. So good. Now the entertainment team was off the chain. I can't think Julio and Rafael and Michael and Elvin who made it a fun and fantastic time at the resort. I have not seen such great talent and fun for a long time. This resort is fun for both family and adults. There is something for everyone here. The beach was beautiful and tranquil and just plain relaxing. I will definitely give this a rating of 4.5. The weather could not have been better. We had about 2 hours of rain and that was it for the week of May 26 to June 2. I can't wait to go back again. I am already planning for my next trip there.

Cayo Levantado Resort: Wow!

We were very happy with the resort in all aspects particularly the customer service from the Butlers to the bartenders, servers,housekeeping staff. We felt like we were in Paradise! Make sure you book your complimentary bath with bubbles, rose petals and candles.

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Number One Resort on the Island!

Iberostar Grand Hotel Bavaro is the best destination for couples. Service, beaches, Restaurants and food are awesome! Nightly shows are captivating along with live entertainment at the bars. You feel completely safe there. There are no bugs.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Nice resort

Second visit to El Portillo, also been to GBP Cayacoa and Luxury Samana and four other GBP locations. Not pleased that that they no longer offer differentiating bands for VIP guests (we had a white band last time around). They stated the new rule is 10 visits for a gold band - hardly a positive experience for past travellers having perks taken away). We felt this impacted the degree of service we received in a la carte restaurants and was challenged when we visited the golden club room just t [... read more]o sit down and use our cell phone. Nicest thing at this resort is the beach allowing for very long walks into Las Terrenas in one direction and to quiet beaches in the other end. This time around, we encountered a lot of noseeum bites maybe because of 2 days of rain. Other than that good value and very good experience overall.

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Beautiful resort!

Hotel was amazing! Beautiful grounds, great pool and great waterpark! Perfect location for kids! Lots to do. Amazing night time show against the castle which was an amazing surprise that we have never seen anywhere else! We felt like we were at Disneyworld. Beautiful beach! Rooms are big and clean and I recommend staying in either building 98 or 99! Definitely recommend anyone especially with kids to go!

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Love this resort will go back

The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. All of the ala carte restaurants were very good. The French Restaurant and Steak house were both so good we went again. Staff is very friendly and outgoing, small resort so you can walk everywhere. will definitely go back again
