Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: An amazing week

The Ambar Green exceeded expectations. The resort was incredibly clean, staff were friendly and always available to help, rooms were beautiful. The pool was great, plenty of loungers and if they ran out of umbrellas they went and got more. You saw staff cleaning the pool daily. The animation team was a lot of fun but also didn't push to involve people of they wanted to relax. The beach is by far the best I've ever seen. Powdery sit sand and that perfect turquoise water. You could easily walk for [... read more] an hour in either direction. The food was beyond good. First time I've actually enjoyed resort food. If I had to find a negative it's that I only had 7 days

Occidental Caribe: Occidental caribe punta cana

I found this hotel was awesome for a 4star and for the price. Good service, good food and good staff. Rooms are clean and grounds are always well maintained. 2 big pools. One of the best beaches on the coast. I highly recommend this resort.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Amazing resort.

This resort was excellent in all aspects. It was very, very clean which is important to me. The beach was beautiful. The food was so delicious with a great variety of different foods. The service was impeccable. No matter where we were, the staff always had such a big smile, very courteous and helpful. The grounds were exceptional. The entertainment was absolutely great. I will definitely go back to this resort. What a great vacation this was. I have already recommended this place to fr [... read more]iends and family.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Good Bang for your Buck

This hotel is good value for your money. The food was really good and far better than I had expected. The pools were nice and lots of options for different locations and atmosphere. The beach was nice. The water was a little bit rough but we still managed to swim. On Sunday's it's a lot of local people's day off work so we noticed the beach was filled with local people. It was nice to see them all out enjoying their day off with family and friends. A lot of smiling happy people enjoying the beac [... read more]h! We did not travel VIP and noticed a difference in service. It was very segregated and unfortunately the entire complex was set up like that. The resort is very big and it was a lot of stairs and walking. I wouldn't recommend this resort to someone with mobility issues. Definitely not accessible. The weather was great, we had one day of rain which was in the middle of our stay and a nice break from the sun. The kids club was amazing, they did some pretty cool activities with the kids, horse back riding, a trip to Ocean World and painting and crafts. Once we figure out we could access the Tropical Resort restaurants and pools we quickly began taking advantage of that. It was much closer to our room and less stairs. Our room was a descent size and I requested a third bed as I traveled with my daughters age 7 and 8 and we all slept better in our own beds. Rooms were clean, beds comfortable, small rooms, small fridge which had 2 beer and a couple waters and pops in it. The fridge was only stalked once during our 7 days. All and all a nice resort. I would recommend it however, not sure I would go back again. There are so many places I want to travel, I liked this resort but I didn't love it!

Occidental Caribe: Awesome hotel!

Me and my girlfriend recently stayed at this property. We found it was an amazing experience. The staff was friendly ,the food was excellent and the grounds and landscaping were exceptionally maintained. We would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a nice get away.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Paradise!

Beautiful place to relax and wine and dine. The staff were amazing. The grounds were immaculate. The food was great. The entertainment staff were wonderful. Lots to see and do. Will definitely go back!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Beautiful resort!

We just came back from an amazing vacation at the Grand Bahia Principe Ambar Green yesterday( march 30 to april 6). It is an adult only resort with unlimited a la carte restaurants. Our favorites were the Don Pablo and the Japonese Maiko. With all the other Grand Bahia resorts together, it is huge, but we don't mind it, we love walking and the properties are very clean and beautiful! The beach is amazing!

It was our forth vacation at a Grand Bahia Principe resort and we were not disappointed with our choice! 😎😎

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Beautiful resort!!

This was our first trip ever and it was amazing!!!The resort is beautiful, clean and the service was amazing. You will never go hungry and never get bored, so many things to see and do. The beaches are gorgeous and the people we met were amazing. Thank u Laura for suggesting this place to us we look forward to going on another trip next yeat!!!!

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Amazing resort.

Had a great time. Beach, entertainment, food all wonderful. Bathroom a little dated. Would definitely go back. This was our third trip to this resort, except on our first two trips we stayed at the Palace section.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Great resort, but...

The rooms and the food were excellent. Because of heavy rains the previous week the beach was inaccessible. I arrived on Tuesday and couldn't get in the ocean until Saturday. Silt, muck and debris washing up on shore. No English speaking TV at all...problem with the cable company they said. I don't go on vacation to watch TV but do enjoy news channels early in the morning and maybe a movie late at night.

Occidental Punta Cana: Mould in room

Stayed at Occidental Punta Cana March 29 - April 5th. Took over 90 minutes to check in only to be told to come back in 2 hours to pick up key for room. Had paid for upgraded room and was placed in old building #12 room 105 which had mould on the ceiling and in the closet. Unable to hang clothes in closet due to mould. Room was very dated. Striker plate on door was loose and you were required to hit the door with shoulder or hip to open it. After two days of requesting our originally paid for u [... read more]pgraded room we were moved to new building which was beautiful. Transat rep, Hugo was not helpful at all in assisting us with resolving our room issue. He mad big promises but did not deliver at all.Food is fine at resort. Service is average at best with long waits at all bars for drinks. Beach and pools are beautiful.

Bahia Principe Explore Turquesa: Great resort!

The resort is great,the grounds are perfect and beautiful,the service was great.It is very big but there was never a problem going to and from the beach on the trolleys.The only critique i have is the wine it was not good it tasted like it was diluted.Bottled wine at a la carte was better.

Paradise Playa Dorada: Totally Satisfied at the Grand Paradise Playa Dorada

The resort has been well maintained, the rooms were fine, food was wonderful and plentiful. The bar staff, table waiters and entertainment team made our stay very enjoyable . We especially would like to recognize Hermie as our dinner waiter. He served 10 of us very well and keep the wine glass full at all times. Edgar at the pool bar was a ball of fun as well. Alonzo our beach vendor was also a great guy and a good salesman as well. We were pleased to have a visit with Nelson a beach vendor we m [... read more]et 15 years ago and he still remembered us as " My family". Weather while there could not be any better. We most likely will go back to Paradise beach " God Willing".

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Beautiful palm trees

Great resort, lots of palm trees and landscaping. The beach close to the water was full of sea weed and very murky. However, we walked down the beach, past all the resorts, and the water gets crystal clear and there is way less sea weed in the sand. It's about a 15-20 min walk down the beach. There was a lot of pools to choose from and bars in each area, so very convenient. The grounds around the resort are clean and very pretty, lots of lighting at night. There was a lot of people trying to sel [... read more]l time shares outside the buffet area and excursions on the beach area, gets kind of annoying after a bit. If the guys in brown shirts tell you to come with them to the front desk for your free gift, don't go, they are trying to sell you a time share(unless you want one of course!) The nightly entertainment was good, and the staff was entertaining. The bar tenders don't like to make all the drinks on their menu and the most popular drink (coco loco) was often not available because they didn't want to mix it in the slushy machine thing. The food was great, a lot of choices for a la carte and the buffet was awesome, if you can't find something to eat there, you're not hungry. All in all it was a great resort, pretty grounds, safe and secure, beautiful to walk thru to get from the different pools, main bar/pool/theatre/beach. Our room was exactly as shown on the Sunwing website, but the couple travelling with us had to move rooms as theirs was so bad and nothing like what they booked thru Sunwing as well.

Occidental Punta Cana: Gorgeous beach, excellent service, very nice hotel

We stayed in one of the newly renovated buildings, 23, which was very nice. The service was excellent at all bars and restaurants (we are frequent tippers) and the food was good. The beer is cold and plentiful; tried mamajuana as well as a few other cocktails. Not really a fan of the house red wine but there were plenty of other drink options. Kudos for excellent service to Bibiano (and Franklin) at the lobby bar who are smiley and work well as a team and to the wonderful Nordy at the hibiscus  [... read more]bar near the theatre (not sure of the actual name of this bar but it has carved hibiscus flowers.) Nordy makes a wonderful martini and is very friendly and efficient. The a la carte restaurants were good and there was always something tasty at the buffets. The beach restaurant has really good burgers, much better than the ones at the snack bar. Excellent pizza at the wood oven pizza place, which is open 6 pm to 6 am. The beach is lovely, soft, white sand, lots of chairs, but not much shade. The gym has several machines (most of which work) as well as free weights. Clean and adequate. Overall, a great hotel for those who love the beach. Too many smokers for my liking, but that's totally a personal preference.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Impressive resort

My husband and I very much enjoyed our vacation at Barcelo Bavaro Beach resort. The grounds and beach area were well kept and the pool was wonderfully laid out with a ramp entry at one end that was shallow to the other end which was about five feet deep, perfect for swimming and very refreshing. Plenty of shade and sun areas both at the pool and beach and we never felt crowded. The turquoise water, the palm trees and powdery sand were visible from many of the restaurants and buffets which we fo [... read more]und both beautiful and very relaxing. The room we had was adequate. Nothing fancy but the bed was comfortable and the bathroom area provided everything we needed. The air conditioning was a little wonky, either too cold or not cold enough since the controls did not allow for much choice. The room could also have used a few more places to hang wet towels and swimsuits inside the room itself as opposed to hanging things on the balcony outside. But these were small things and didn't detract from our enjoyment. We were a little disappointed in the food at this resort. We have been to other resorts in the DR and found the buffet at the Bavaro did not have the variety of choices that we had elsewhere. The a-la-carte restaurants we tried, the seafood restaurant, the steakhouse and the Mediterranean restaurant all seemed very assembly lined with not much flavour and were very skimpy with the vegetable sides. The exception was the rib eye steak I had which was huge and delicious! The desserts everywhere look beautiful but generally are tasteless and bland. Nevertheless we always managed to find something to eat and it didn't prevent us from gaining a few pounds! We liked the variety of activities that the resort provided and were impressed by the shopping areas and rooftop lounge. Getting around the resort was easy with the train trolleys doing the rounds continuously. Overall we had a great week and would consider returning in the future.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Nice Vacation

We just returned home from Confressi Palm Beach Resort April 4th. We had a great time. The resort is very big and lots of stairs so not great for anyone with any physical difficulties. The room was clean but dated our bathroom ceiling was leaking upon arrival but fixed quickly are view the Frost Bar and pool so nice access for my grandson traveling with me. The food was good plentiful staff was pleasant and helpful. We did visit Ocean World and enjoyed it but for what we got it was way over pric [... read more]ed. I do not believe I would travel with air transit again as the cabin crew service was the worst I ever experienced, the food choices on board were limited and not that it was the airlines fault the 2 hour delay coming home was not a pleasant experience. I had been to the resort before when it was Sun Village in 2006 and would probably go back again but would upgrade to a junior suite. I am not a beach person but other people seemed to enjoy it. Lots of pools to choose from.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Lovely resort

My husband and I went with another couple who had been to this resort 11 times! We were in Priveledge which I would recommend. Excellent value. Very impressive lobby. Beautifully kept grounds. Rooms were comfortable and very clean. The staff was superb, friendly and accommodating. Entertainment was good although we did not use the casino or bowling alley. Pool could use more umbrellas as shade was minimal. We hope to go back again. Would not hesitate to recommend to a friend. Special call out [... read more] to Wilfredo , Luis and Jose 'ConciergeButler for Priveledge,Judy in Customer Relations.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Can't wait to return

This property offered absolutely everything, the service was better than excellent, food and everyday selection was amazing for the Caribbean, the beach was clean and spacious, the selection of children's water parks, trains, kids club was endless, so very pleased, can't wait to return next year, I will be telling all my friends with children that this property is a must!! The adult only side of the property looked just as great, likely a bit quieter! ;)

Ocean Blue and Sand: Work to be done

The workers at this resort are fantastic. The lobby bar and the pool are great place to hang out. The food at the buffet restaurant and the restaurant at the pool is great. The Wifi is not good. The rooms are good but the maids do not replace towels if she takes some away from the room if dirty. The room's temperature would not go down lower than 23 Celsius, too warm for me.
