Amazing trip superior staff

we stayed for 11 days over the xmas holidays have decided to never do xmas at home again the experience was awesome the work put into the decoration and the time to make travelers enjoy being there by the staff while being away from their own families was astronomical. The resort was clean the food was plentiful and the buffet at xmas was amazing. Have been to many resorts in DR with never a negative experience but have to say the workers at all levels at this resort deserve their weight in  [... read more]gold. They are working extremely hard to satisfy all. They could use more staff as they all looked sooo tired but never complained. The only peeve I had was the seaweed which is out of their control,and the amount us travelers litter the plastic cups would like to see a charge of maybe $15 upon check in to receive a bubba cup with name of resort and even smaller ones for kids which would advertise resort and act as a souvenir.

Very much enjoyed this resort!!

This is an excellent resort for the price point.....the staff were awesome....beach was lovely....rooms clean....food very good.....we will definitely return for another visit!! Thanks for a lovely 2 weeks over the (busy) Xmas season! Only pet peeve is inconsiderate guests leaving their towels, etc. on pool and beach lounges overnight....leaving little opportunity for others to enjoy the lounges (perhaps never occupied), without removing their belongings. Also, the ability to change our US dolla [... read more]rs into small denominations in order to tip our servers was not readily available....this restricted our ability to tip to the extent that we would have preferred.

Be live collection

Over all it was a good vacation. The food isnt terrible. The only annoying thing is how the bombard you to join things. They also need to learn something about time. Had to wait 20 minutes for the lady to come and book resturants. They also have a terrible system for wifi

Pleasant resort

Nice resort boasting a stunning mountain backdrop and a long stretch of beach to take a leisurely stroll, swimming pool is large and clean, main dinning room spacious and well presented, the snack bar served up delicious burgers and endless supply of hot french fries, also on site are 3 alternative restaurants. Our room was ground floor oceanveiw, room was clean and maintained, mini bar was restocked daily, toilet was slow to refill but not an issue, air-conditioning worked very well, and the da [... read more]ily fresh flowers placed in the bathroom added a special touch. Nightly entertainment did not disappoint and the fire dancers on the beach gave an awesome performance. All resort staff were friendly and helpful. Timeshare sales reps not overbearing or pushy. This is the 3rd BeLive resort we have stayed at in the Dominican Republic and it lived up to our expectations.

Hotel ok/Service terrible

Its an outdated hotel but if you have any issues they would fix it. The food was okay but a lot of people got food poisoning from the Mexican food (Mexican night, Maxican restaurant.) On the advertising they show they have eight restaurants, the hotel only has three a la carte restaurants the rest are outside the resort. So if you're not looking to leave the restort you're stuck with one buffet and three restaurants that you have to make reservations for; I was there for a week and I only got t [... read more]o make reservations for 1 of those as they we fully booked. The front desk staff were really rude at anytime or any day. Overall it's a very clean Place, pools are great, the beach is nice and the kids club it's a great thing if you have kids. The service of the buffet is terrible especially if you have kids. The lines for the food art long and the food doesn't have labels. I give this resort 3star rating.

Would not return

Very dated hotel, had to pay for safe daily, 2 towels only, chairs around pool were broken and had to be reserved before 6 am! We both got an intestinal virus at end of trip with stomach pains, chills, diarrhea and others on resort experienced same.

Gorgeous scenery!!

We had a very good vacation in Puerto Plata, the food was very good and the beach and ocean was awesome, can’t wait to visit the area again. The resort was friendly and inviting, and the pool was very nice.

Comfortable and Friendly

We enjoyed our stay. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms although not elegant were clean and adequate. We found the grounds and pool very nice and the beach clean with nice sand. The banquet for Christmas Eve was just beautiful... so much effort put into it. What a lovely surprise.

Somewhat disappointing.

We arrived at approximately 8:30 in the evening and were the only customers to check in , so all went well except waited approximately 10 minutes for a bell boy so finally followed the map and took our own suitcases. Our Superior deluxe room was truly disappointing. The furniture was paint splattered and chipped in numerous locations. The air conditioning duct grill was dirty. The pool, colourfully lighted was, however, spectacular and relaxing. The buffet was the best option for meals. We did e [... read more]njoy the Mexican and the Brazilian a-la-Carter’s restaurants. Mylos, Mediterranean restaurant was not worth the effort and could not eat much of the food as it was less than pleasant. The pool was cold and lacked shade so we opted for the beach each day and found it pleasant other than the litter of plastic straws, cups and spoons littering the area. Disappointing to see these items used in such great quantities and not being recycled. We also had to go to the front desk on four occasions to have our key cards redone in order to get into our room. The grounds are clean but the entire resort appears “tired.” Weekends in the Dominican are the same at every resort we have stayed but this resort seems to be totally over run with locals. Food, scotch and snacks became scarce for the weekends. We always found ample lounge chairs both at the beach and the pool area, however, not always in the shade. Our final day was rainy and it was difficult to find a dry place to sit, relax and have a drink or a coffee. In all, we would not recommend this resort and would not return. P.s. the bar fridge beer is CoorsLight in the mini cans. This in itself is a good reason to avoid this resort.

My First Resort

The resort was extremely clean, the excursions I went on like ziplining, cliff diving, and horseback riding were memories that will last I life time. There was very little vegan or vegetarian options for the meals. I got food poisoning on night two and I continued to get sicker as the week continued. The beach was amazing though, great views and access to the Atlantic Ocean. I would never go back there again. I am still sick and I've been home for two days now.

Very nice resort

Be Live Collection has a very large swimming pool with be clean daily. DJ music and pool activities always make me excited. At a pool bar, I tried all around kinds of cocktail and almost all are very good. We went to a buffer restaurant for breakfast and dinner. A menu is be changed every day and foods are so fresh, not too hot, not too salty, not to sweet, therefore my wife can eat so much. Most of all, people in the resort are so nice, so friendly and so professional. I will go to Be Live  [... read more]Connection against.

Beautiful Resort!

Loved our stay here. The resort is beautiful, grounds are well looked after and the staff is very accommodating. I was originally concerned that there was only one pool however it is never-ending and beautiful. I highly recommend this resort!

Amazing resort

First of all we would like to thank Trip Central Trivia where Carol Field (my wife) won this trip from and also Rachel Guindon who handled all of the paperwork for us flawlessly from the day we won it in February. I had notified Be Live hotels that we would be celebrating our anniversary while there and on arrival we were welcomed with a fruit basket in our room and the workers at the front desk had been notified about it as well because they congratulated us. The rooms and grounds of this resor [... read more]t were spotless. All of the workers were very pleasant and willing to help in any way possible. The pool areas were great but be careful walking in on the gradual slope when entering because it could tend to be slippery. Overall our holiday was great and would go back in a heartbeat. Not once during our stay did we run out of hot water or did our air conditioning fail as is quite normal in these areas. We also had one free consecutive hour for each device and this was more than adequate. As far as recommending this resort I would also do it anytime. We were there during a slow time and the buffet would be moved to different areas to accommodate how many guests were being served. The food was amazing and you never went away hungry from any restaurant.

Very nice resort

The rooms were clean and the good was good. The entrance to the pool was slippery and quite a few people either slipped or they fell. The resort was situated between the mountain and ocean ...very pretty. I would go there again.

Amazing resort

Good service Good entertainment Food was great Personal was very friendly Clean rooms Great beach I would definitely go back as I had a good experience. Was there for 2 weeks in October and Halloween party was really good with a outside barbecue and the Halloween decorations was awesome. This resort was on the ball and if you needed something fix in your room it was done in no time. I ask for a bedside table lamp for reading at night and got it in just a few hours. Definitely would  [... read more]recommend this resort and would definitely go back for a good time with the friendly staff.

Great Resort!

Food was good. Very clean. Resort is very well kept. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Always making sure everything was ok. Only thing missing was a swim up bar and some shade in the pool area. Other than that everything was great! Thank you! We had a wonderful time!

Nice resort

The Be Live is a beautiful resort with great staff, however the food was the same thing every day for lunch and dinner! The only time there was a change in the menu was the snack bar or if u booked at the a la cart!!

Very nice hotel

very good hotel...room are very clean....food quality is good...and the location is very close to the city for those who like sport , they have a lot of activate..like volley ball and more in fact I am planning to go in the end of octber for tow weeks..back to baradise running away from the cold weather of quebec

Amazing trip

My boyfriend and I recently stayed here and had the best time! The food was amazing and so were all the people. So kind and friendly. We loved the pool along with the pool bar. One day we even went kayaking on the beach and it was so much fun and can not wait to come back.

Great vacation

I recently vacationed at the Be Live Marien resort in Puerto Plata, DR with my 16 year old twins. I went into a Trip Centrallocation in Ottawa and Amanda helped book this family vacation. I cant say enough about the service Amanda provided me. She was always there if I had any questions or concerns. Would highly recommend her to all. We had a fantastic time. Beautiful views, mountain on one side , enormous pool (technically 3 in one) surrounded with waterfalls. The ocean is on the other side  [... read more]just a short walk from anywhere on the grounds. The staff were very friendly and efficient. All in all a wonderful time away in the Dominican! Thanks Amanda!
