Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Forever in my Dreams

I haven't travelled much but from what I've experienced at this resort just set an extremely high bar for any other resort. The food never disappoints, the employees all care about making you comfortable and well looked after. The grounds are well looked after and spotlessly maintained. The night time shows were outstanding. We are going to miss this one until next time.

Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Relaxing Resort with great food!!!

Positives: - lots fun activities all the time - love the green spaces everywhere - staff was very nice and fun to be around - food was excellent, La Toscana - WOW!!! - beach was very clean and beautiful - lots of drink selections! Negative: - a lot of babies/children - bathroom in room was very dirty - shower was WAY too small - always had to wait in line at the beach bar, needed more staff - construction was noisy at the swim up bar but under [... read more]stand that it needs to take place in order to improve Overall it was a great trip and we enjoyed our stay!!!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Huge Resort

This resort had the best food that I have experienced in the DR. The grounds were spotless, staff were very polite, but the room was ok. If you are looking for a quiet resort, this one is not for you! This resort has basically 6 resorts in one area. The beach was extremely overcrowded as well as most of the pools. If you like action and lots of people, this resort is for you.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Average resort, not an average price.

This resort is average at best. Food and drink are fine, you can what you are looking for but nothing is outstanding. Drinks are poor, and nothing is made fresh. The downside to this resort is the service, no one is really interested in their job unless management is around. For example we would have to ask 3-4 times for coffee/water in the morning. The room itself was fine. We traveled with our 6 month old and they brought a pack n play after numerous requests. The resort is quite large, ac [... read more]cessibility not an issue. Ramps everywhere. We requested a ground floor room (for the stroller) and that was accommodated. Trollies running all day long. Room service is quick but menu very limited. One positive to this resort are the grounds, perfectly manicured and stunning. Would make nice backdrop for a wedding. The resort is fine but we have travelled extensively so it did not measure up. The weather was perfect and that's why we went.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Wonderful resort

The Grand Bahia Principe Punta Cana is a huge resort with many different sections. We were at the Esmaralda campus (Adults only) and it was absolutely beautiful. The pool and beach were very close. The room was a great size and the bathroom had a separate shower, tub and double vanity. The hotel and grounds were very clean. The food at the buffets and different a la carte restaurant were fabulous. The service was very good and staff very friendly. There are trolleys to get around one area [... read more] to another. There was a children's area with little water slides and park. It is a great resort for families and couples. I would recommend this resort and would consider returning.

Excellence Punta Cana: We love Excellence Punta Cana!

cThis was our third time at Excellence Punta Cana, which shows how much we love it. The grounds, the service (with the one exception noted below), the beach and the food are 'excellente' as the staff would say. We always choose the Excellence Club option, as we enjoy the benefits we get from that offering. This year, we also decided to upgrade to a Master Suite, so we were looking forward to a larger, better room. We were disappointed, however, in the room we were initially assigned which wa [... read more]s a ground floor room 7005 directly facing the loud swim up bar. Not sure how this room qualifies as an Excellence Club room as it is very far from Building 10 where the EC lounge is and not in a good location. The concierge in EC was able to move us to a second floor ocean front room in Building 10 the next day, so we were happy but this should not have happened, especially since this was our third time there. Also, I was happy to hear that the resort will close this year to renovate the rooms, as they really need it and really aren't five star. For example, the air conditioning was so loud we couldn't sleep with it on, our two sliding doors didn't lock, the mini fridge was totally broken inside, so every time you opened it, stuff would fall out etc. We're looking forward to updated rooms! My one other comment is with respect to 'reserved' tables in a resort where reservations aren't necessary or allowed. We showed up at the Lobster House for dinner at around 8:00 on our last night (we were a party of 4) and all the outside tables were open. Just as we were speaking to the hostess and asking for a table outside, a large group that had obviously had been there before, burst in giving everyone hugs and obviously slipped the main waiter some money and scored a big table outside, while we were told that they were all reserved for 'special dinners'. I didn't give up and pushed for a table outside, explaining that we had arrived before the large party and wanted to eat outside. They eventually accommodated, but the experience was not good. There should be more transparency around how 'reserved tables' for 'special dinners' work. The last thing you want is to have a confrontation just before dinner!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Massive Resort

We stayed in Amber Green which is an all Adult section. While it is a very large resort we really enjoyed it. The food was great with plenty of choices, the staff were great Raymond on the entertainment team was a blast (heyman). I would recommend the resort to anyone for the Adult section as I can not comment on the other parts of the resort as we stayed in our section for the most part. Helen once again you have not steered me wrong thank you. Ron Craft

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Top notch vacation resort

The resort continues to expand with many different areas and amenities to provide something for everyone, yet maintains the same high level of facilities care and service throughout. The staff are consistently friendly and eager to help.

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Awesome resort

I would highly recommend this resort to anyone. The food was excellent with a wide variety of different foods. Rooms and room service and housekeeping was excellent. The staff was amazing, always happy and willing to please. The goundkeepers were great too, always working hard to keep everything looking neat. I will definately be returning to this resort.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Amazing resort with amazing entertaining

Hotel ok Service very good Food ok Drinks needs to be improved We have been given rooms vlose to teather and was so noisy and rooms not so clean Second day we went to block 2 Rooms much better this time Webyad a great time at the beach The enttrtainers were reatless So much fun! One day all. Bars run out of beer And other drinks were disipiring fast

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Great resort!

Overall the resort was great, friendly staff and entertainers. The food was really great except the Oriental night, the meat and vegetable was drenched in sweet sauce and food was not appealing at all. Every other night was great. The water park eatery only had hot dogs and popcorn, perhaps some fruits and veggies would make the parents happy =) The maintenance crew starts cutting the grass/trimming leaves as early as 9:00am which woke us up on our 2nd day. When we arrived at the hotel, we had  [... read more]to fill out a form with our name, DOB and address (I think!). Shouldn't the hotel have all our info already instead of making us fill out a form after a long day of travelling? Which by the way, I never received my hotel voucher via email from Trip Advisor which delayed my check-in at the resort and the man that was at front desk was no help at all. He told me to wait, I waited for him to put on the resort bracelet on every person that was on our bus and then he proceeded to tell me that I needed to print the hotel voucher out (for the 2nd time). First off I never received a voucher via email (I checked my sent, deleted and inbox) and second of all in this day in age, who prints anymore? Lastly, the Air Canada rep should've gave us the hotel form to fill out while we were on the bus. My in laws arrived few days later and had the opportunity to fill out their checkin form on the bus. On our way to the resort, our Air Canada rep asked the driver to drop him off at his home 30 mins into the ride and left the bus to fend for ourselves when we arrived at the resort. On the way back to airport, the Air Canada rep should've had all the airport forms ready to go on the bus so we can fill it out to make our checkin seamless when we got to the airport. My brother in law had email the hotel before we arrived to inquire if our rooms could be close together. We never received a reply and when we asked at front desk, they told us to wait. we never ended up getting rooms close together. Half of The kids movie at night were in Spanish which was a bit of a bummer. Actually this is the first resort I've been to where there were many non English speaking staff. That didn't bother me much though! To end on a positive note, everything was really close, the beach, pool and resort which made it easy when travelling with kids. Overall the trip was great, but there are few areas that could be improved.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Amazing experience. Excellent staff. Rated 10 star

Thank-you to the entire staff for making my husbands and my experience to Punta Cana just fantastic at the Luxury Bahia Principe Ambar Blue. Words alone cannot describe how great our experience from the initial booking with Trip Central staff and the hotel staff was. Everybody gave 110% service and this resort is our number one go to going forward. Management should be very proud for selecting superb staff with friendliness and outstanding manners. True customer service that we have never se [... read more]en before in our lives. Foyers, washrooms, rooms, landscaping, pool areas were top notch and everybody at this resort should be so proud of themselves for making it such a success. We ate at different buffets every day and different restaurants throughout the week and everybody and everything was AMAZING. Thank-you. We had ten guests initially and we stayed a few extra days by ourselves at the end. Great job everybody! When guests complain on the language problems they were having they need to remember they're in the Dominican Republic and should be grateful that the locals show patience to us the foreigners. Thanks again for just being perfect.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Overall Great resort

The grounds were well kept. The food was awesome. The rooms and buildings are starting to look a bit dated , but still kept extremely clean. The rooms need coffee makers in them. Staff very nice. Overall a great resort but not 5 star.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Beautiful resort

Was beautiful,.would highly recommend this resort The pool and the rooms were decorated very nicely. The hotel staff was very friendly and very accommodating. The housekeeper was extremely friendly and always available. She did an amazing job with our upkeep of our room!!👌🏻

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Excellent resort- great service, great entertainment, but the beach is not so good. I am more swarming pool person so it did not bother me at all!

Rooms are clean, the resort is beautiful, lots of grean speace, lots of facilities, gym, spa, tennis court, golf, bikini and many activities. This resorts is more fit for couples then single people. However, I would go agsin for sure

Royalton Punta Cana Resort: Amazing Resort

Here for a wedding. Wonderful location, great beach, clean room, friendly & helpful staff. Restaurants were amazing, especially the Japanese Restaurant. Too bad the Michael Jackson tribute was only on the Saturday night when we arrived...only got to see the last few minutes of the show. Special shout out for Luis Enrique Cabrera - beach location. Had our lounges ready & waiting for us after breakfast. He was very courteous & helpful....even bringing us fresh towels if ours were too wet.  [... read more]With 41 guests in our celebration .....he was a pleasure to have around.

Riu Republica: Great Adult Resort

We were pleasantly surprised with this resort as there were many negative reviews on this resort. Well don't pay attention to these reviews as the resort is great. Food lots of options in the buffet no one will go hungry. Loved the variety and theme nights. The three restaurants are good as well and no reservations required. We loved the patio in the buffet section. Rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. Great shower. I would recommend that you bring a night light if you need light as th [... read more]e glass panel in the shower doesn't allow you to keep the bathroom light on. As we like the beach we didn't use the pools however people that we spoke to liked the pools. No need to get up early to reserve chairs. There are tons on loungers in the beach and pool areas. We enjoyed drinks In The lobby after dinner and found the quality of drinks pretty good. We will definitely return to this resort.

Riu Republica: Amazing Resport

The resort was well laid out and all restaurants and shopping were easy to access. There was never a shortage of chairs on the beach and the pools looked amazing. The grounds were always being cleaned and the rooms were a good size with a shower big enough for at least 2. It was nice to be able to go to the a la carte restaurants without having to book a reservation. All in all, I would definitely return to this resort.
