Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Not Dreams Quality

Very Disappointed with the Dreams in Punta Cana. We were expecting better service and better food. The hotel rooms where we stayed were just ok. The attention to food allergies were taken into consideration for one night buy one waiter. Which can be very dangerous. The waitress' that did the beach service and pool service were very attentive and we showed our appreciation with our generous tipping. I do recommend the staff get training on working in the hospitality industry.

Occidental Caribe: A wonderful, amazing resort

I thought the resort had much to offer, there was a party area when I wanted to be entertained and then there was a quiet pool area were I could relax and enjoy myself. I thought the resort was big enough that you could walk around and enjoy the sites and the building and the pools areas and beach, the beach bar was close enough to get to.. Able to get into the restaurants and they had amazing food. I enjoyed the entertainment every night and it was something different each evening. My room was [... read more] wonderful with a fantastic ocean view, and I could enjoy looking from my balcony. I would go again and enjoy myself.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Nice Resort

Just got back from Grand Bahia, we found it to be a beautiful clean resort, excellent service with a smile through out the complex, rooms were very nice, food was good, only disappointment was the beach it was not what we expected, water is quite murky doesn't compare to Playa Dorado Beach

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Breathtaking Bahia Principe REsort Complex

Beautiful lush landscaping, clean and well organized. Pools were spotless and well maintained. Service was spectacular. The food was the best at any destination. The meals were well represented and the buffets were endless. Our room was in the 94 block, in between the two pools and close to everything. The Beach was nice, my wife loved it.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Great time

The resort was off a post card Soft sand endless beach butler service and staff were nice and always had a smile on their face You have to try the majestic drink I had a blast if go back to punta Cana will Stay at same resort

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Excellent resort

Excellent location, particularly for wind watersports. Plenty of lounge chairs around the pool and on the beach. Very friendly staff. Buffet was so great that there was no real need to eat at la carte restaurants (we made only two reservations during our 2 week stay). Rooms were freshly renovated. The main drawback: the free internet was available only at the lobby and it was so slow that was practically unusable. The paid internet was very expensive (USD 15/day per device) so I ended up turni [... read more]ng on data roaming on my phone and using it as a hot spot for other devices (still quite expensive). Would be nice to have a jacuzzi in the pool area.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Wonderful place

Great place amazing service and hotel very clean and well manicured grounds first time there and would go back michael Jackson show was so good as well as the other shows loved the Japanese restaurant people were friendly beach was beautiful 5star forsure

Grand Palladium Select Bavaro: What a nice resort

Just came back from spending 7 days at the grand palladium bavaro The resort was clean and absolutely amazing no complaints whats so ever . Great for couple and families Would definitely recommend this resort to anyone The palladium has plenty of bars pools and over a dozen restaurants

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Beautiful resort

Loved it! All amenities were close by. Beautiful pool, clean beach, clean grounds and the buffet menu changed every day. Getting the mini bar re-stocked daily was a problem, as was the fact that guests who had booked two rooms because they were staying as families were denied one room on arrival. They wanted to send us to another hotel as they were overbooked, just for the night. We would get a room the following day at 3:00pm. That was frustrating as we had booked three months earlier and a cou [... read more]ple that had booked just the week before had a room!! We hardly ever travel, so this was very upsetting as we were with our daughter and her family. The five of us spent the night in their room. Over all, except for that, we had a very enjoyable time, after all was sorted out and we got two rooms the next afternoon. I'd be afraid to recommend this hotel in case this happened to a friend. Our room was very clean and comfortable, and the cleaning, bar and wait staff made us very welcome.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Over-Booked Rooms!

We arrived at the hotel at 12:30am, we were the first ones off of the bus to check in and were told that one of the rooms that we had booked (we were travelling with my parents) was flooded. The main desk told us that the 5 of us would have to share a room for the night, but that they would give us the $21 lock for free for the week. Apparently the rooms were already assigned to guests and despite the fact that we booked and paid in full in October (and were the first people checking in) there [... read more] was only one room available for the 5 of us. The next morning we realized that everyone from our bus that had more than one room booked were in the same boat as we were, however none of the single rooms were effected. This was obviously a scam to receive double payment from the people on their last night and the people arriving. We ended up having both rooms upgraded to Superior, free WiFi and free lock for the week. But we wasted a day of our vacation fighting for an upgrade for the inconvenience and moving rooms. When we did finally change rooms, half of the amenities did not work. When the staff were notified of this, they explained that we were using them wrong (How do you use a shower drain wrong?!?!). Very unfortunate because the hotel was beautiful and most of the staff were wonderful, however I would NEVER go back. Not having what you paid so much money for at check in can really ruin a vacation and point out many other things that weren't up to par, that you probably wouldn't have noticed if you just had your 2 rooms to begin with.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Not a 4 star.

Food was terrific, rooms and bathrooms are small and very dated. We were Bit by a lot of bugs and spiders in our room. We had a spider crawling on our bed and beds mattresses are very hard. Pool was fine. Overall resort is old and dated. Water pressure totally sucked if you could get water to have a shower and just warm water, never hot water. We never got clean towels or wash clothes replaced. Overall rating a 2.5 - 3 star.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Great Weather!!!

A very good 4 star resort! Staff was very friendly and the resort very clean. Service was excellent although wifi, television reception and dinner reservation process very frustrating at times. The purchasing of a keyed lock for room safe was an additional charge of $4 per day. "Stocked" room bar fridge consisted of two beers, bottled water and soda.

Surprise Escapes: Great Escape...but not so much of a surprise.

We booked Sunwing's Punta Cana Surpise Escape, 5 Star Adults only Package. We were already interested in going to Chic Punta Cana, which was the lowest cost resort we could potentially end up at with "surprise escape" and with the "surprise" costing $50 less than booking Chic straight up, and the best case scenario was Secrets Royal Beach which was going for $1000 more than we paid at the time. We also booked under the pretense that we would end up with the best available room remaining at the  [... read more]time of departure...although in fairness that was not actually stated anywhere in the Surprise Escape description, and we did like the idea of the surprise. We later found out (internet research) that everyone who books Surprise Escapes ends up at Chic, which makes sense as it is Sunwing owned. Unfortunately I followed the pricing after we booked and not long after the price for Chic was actually less than the cost for the Surprise package. 4 days before departure we found out we were indeed going to Chic, and just a standard room, despite an oceanview room still being available, as well as rooms at the other 3 higher rated/higher priced resorts. So we did feel a little cheated by Sunwing. Luckily the price of the upgraded room had dropped significantly at this point and we were able to upgrade with our agent through Tripcentral prior to departure for a significant savings, which made us feel more like we were getting our money's worth. At the end of it all we had a fantastic vacation and Chic was a great hotel that we will likely visit again. As always we were pleased with Tripcentral and will book through our agent again in the future. However we would not do the Surprise Escape package again, and would recommend just booking the hotel that best suits your wants & budget. Thanks again Tripcentral for another great Caribbean vacation!!

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Awesome time

This resort rocks food was awesome room was ultra modern and clean we were super happy with pretty much everything The only thing that I would recommend to what is already there would be a larger variety of house red wine

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Excellent Service, However

A slightly older resort, in fact it's Bahia Principe's oldest resort. The rooms are tired, food is average to better than average. The staff are awesome, always saying hello and wanting to serve. Our A/C stopped working everyday and we had to call and have it fixed each and every day. The TV only had 2 English stations and didn't work for half the weeks trip. The price was good which would bring me back and as one might expect some issues with a reasonable price. The beach is great, service  [... read more]was great but don't expect much. The resort is listed at 4 stars, the resort shows 5 on their wall behind the main desk, but is a 3 to 3.5 stars in my humble opinion. This has been my 2nd time to this resort and had a horrible sewer issue.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Stunning resort!

The grounds were spectacular with so many palm trees and gardens!! The beach area was pristine with plenty of palapas overlooking the water. Great selection of restaurants. Overall beautiful resort with plenty of activities and dancing!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Awful resort

We did not have a good experience visiting this hotel, we showed up and the room was. It ready so they said they upgraded us to the fantasia, we got our room an hour later, it was very dirty with lots of flys. We complained twice and where told it would be cleaned they came the first time and it did not get cleaned, had to complain again since the bathroom had cobwebs and all these flys, asked to be switched rooms told us we would half to wait a day, so next day we switched rooms and than the ai [... read more]r conditioner wouldn't work, finally got it fixed at 11 than each night after it would shut itself off during the day and we would come back and the room would be 28. Bar fridge was only filled once the week we where there and anytime we asked for things the workers where rude. I used trip central to book this trip and they where incredible with help so I give them 5 stars but this resort was bad from day one and I don't like that the workers pretty well laughed at us. The food was okay, and beach and pools where great. Night life not much went on.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Second stay

I've stayed at this hotel twice now. If you get it for a good price it's defiantly worth it. There are some minor things that would really make the hotel great. My favourite thing about the Be Live is the pool, there are 3 sections to it and it is always clean. The grounds are clean and full of flowers. The beach is ok, there were never enough lawn chairs but the hotel was very busy. The rooms are a little plain, fridges were stocked with soda, water and beer always. We were returning guest but [... read more] our room was not as good as our first room, our first room had a better view and no ceiling water marks. Food is good, it's repetitive but there's always something to eat, burgers, hot dogs, pasta, rice etc. One big con was the service in the buffet, we rarely got water, we always had to get up and get it out selves. The bar staff was nice especially the manager in that department he made an effort to get to know us and do all he could. The entertainment was just ok. During the day there was some games going on and beach volleyball, the basic things. Night entertainment could use a lot more energy, the shows were ok. Overall if you get Be Live for a good price it's a good stay.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: nice resort

The hotel grounds were clean. The room we had was alright. The bathroom was showing it's age. Ceiling was starting to come apart. When the maids cleaned our rooms sometime the coffee pot wasn't cleaned or coffee mate wasn't refilled. Food was decent at most of the restaurants. Staff was friendly. I didn't care for being harassed by people saleing their items, very pushy. There was incident where some one could have potentially drowned and the staff was not very proactive. They finally react [... read more]ed once myself and my husband approached them to go save that person that was out in the ocean getting smashed by the waves. I believe the staff has little or no training in life saving, and had insuffient equipment to perform a rescue.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Grand bahia principe San juan

My friends and I had a good time. We met a lot of nice people and made friends that will likley be future travel buddies. The food was great and enjoyed the a la cartes very much. The rooms were certainly good enough though our refrigerator did not work, but they replaced it immediately. Drinks were very good and the pool was a bit cool, which is my preference. The only complaint I would put forth was the beach. The shoreline was very dirty and sand flees bit my legs many time. Some did not get [... read more] bitten but myself and my friend were absolutely attacked so if your a beach lover this may not be the spot for you. Though that is an issue for some overall we enjoyed the trip very much.
