Ocean Blue and Sand: Great way to spend our honeymoon!

Our first ever trip out of Canada and we had a blast. The hotel staff was super friendly, never once did anyone ask for a tip. Marino, our beach side privilege bartender was AMAZING. Always ready with a drink - he even hunted us down half way down the beach to bring us beer (even though we were not within our Privilege area). The resort was nice, easy to get around. The resort was not huge so easy to walk around. Only thing That would of made it better was more shows, bars and hang outs. [... read more] Food was good, with the exception of the Blue Moon - we were sick after that one. Enrique (our concierge) was very friendly and fun to chat with. He even gave us a beautiful gift for our honeymoon on our last day. The beach needs some work but our room was within feet of the ocean so it was great. The shop vendors off the resort could be a little overwhelming when you step on the beach but they are still friendly and not pushy.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: just great resort

The resort was great very nice lobby, grounds very well kept, public bathrooms super clean I was very impressed with it all. My room was very nice staff very friendly.I would go back again and would definitly refer my friends . I was near the beach and the beach restaurant which made it very handy. The weather was just perfect. Holiday was to short should have gone for 10 days.

Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort: Beautiful Resort and Grounds

The resort and grounds were beautifully maintained. Our room was spacious and clean. The grounds were well tended. The pools had swim up bars and between the restaurants and beach BBQ, food was never far away. The beach was very clean and had plenty of lounge chairs. The staff at every turn were attentive, cheerful and very helpful and accommodating. The main building had two large dining rooms with a different themed buffet every day. The food was delicious and there was a large variety to choo [... read more]se from. Very family friendly resort with certain areas more kid friendly than others so if you wanted to be in a more adult area it was easily possible. There was a different show for the kids at the pool every afternoon and another family show every evening. Great time!

Paradisus Palma Real Golf and Spa Resort: Breathtaking, peace and solitude

We loved this hotel. It is spotless. The staff can't do enough for you. Lots of activities. You can walk on the beach for miles. Lots of restaurants to choose from! We missed the sound of the ocean from our room but we loved the view of the gardens ! We didn't have any trouble booking restaurants. We loved every moment,

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Fun times!

My family and I just got back from a vacation at memories splash Punta Cana and we had a great time! My three-year-old absolutely love the facilities and we were fairly pleased with the experience! Lots of choice at the buffet and no lineups for the restaurant & easy to get cots in high season! Staff was very responsive him we were fairly pleased!

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Amazing Resort!!

The hotel was beautiful, immaculately clean and the attention to detail was commendable. The service was always with a smile and the food was absolutely delicious, lots of variety and fresh all the time. We appreciated the choice of buffets and the a la carte restaurants. The beach was very close (just a 1 minute trolley ride) or 10 minute walk. The waterpark for the kids was absolutely wonderful, I couldn't get them to leave.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Enjoyed our stay

This resort was good value. The rooms were kept clean, the grounds also immaculate. The food was very good especially the Brazilian restaurant which was the highlight of our stay! The evening entertainment was just okay. The pool was great but hard to get lounge chairs unless you come out early. We didn't use the beach much as there was a red flag the whole week (rough water and very windy). Also, it was difficult to get dry beach towels (could be because there were many rain showers and p [... read more]eople were trying to exchange their wet towels). The service was friendly but often long line ups to get drinks at the pool bar. No good coffee anywhere - warm instant in the buffet, push button machine coffee in two of the bars. I may go back, but most likely try something else next time.

Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Awesome resort, great food!

The hotel was kept very clean and the staff were very helpful. The only thing I was not satisfied with was the seaweed in the water and on the beach. The steak house and the carribean were by far my favourite restaurants!!

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Beautiful resort

Best resort we have been to!.The people were so friendly,the food was awesome,and the layout of the resort was perfect.Always chairs available at the pool area.Great customer service with the phone calls to see if we needed anything .We loved this resort😊

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Amazing beach

The best part of this resort is the beach. New buildings are going up but the rest of the resort is tired. They say they are changing the water system, so hot water was very limited, and usually only in the afternoon. The grounds are not kept up and our "Deluxe Garden View" room faced the back of a fenced in transformer. We would not return to this resort. Good luck getting a aircondtioned room.

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Amazing beach

Beach was exceptional. Resort buildings were clean and most have been updated. Rooms were nice. Make sure to book a king size bed ahead of time (there are only a few). Air conditioning worked well. Hot water problems for a few days. Hopefully will not be an issue in the future. Food was good. Could use more selection. Staff need a course on customer satisfaction and friendliness. Select club didn't provide all that was promised. Ran out of liquor a lot. When asking for som [... read more]ething some staff member seemed put out. Some staff were friendly but only a handful. Quiet resort. Not many activities. Good place to relax. Overall we would go back.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Our family vacation

They have a very clean resort. Lots of activities to do. Easy to book excursion with. Book your all a carts right away as they book up. Personally my daughter and I really enjoyed the brazillian restaurant while my hubby and son loved the Japanese. The dive staff were amazing and fun to dive with. Very professional. Only issue was people putting towels on chairs to hold them. That you never saw anyone use. So our theory was if there was no one in the ocean and seat were empty for 30 minutes we m [... read more]oved the towels and used them. Evening shows were entertaining. And entertainment staff worked hard to involve everyone. We feel it was very good value for our stay.

TRS Cap Cana Hotel: Perfect setting

Really enjoyed the entertainment. The staff's English needs improvement. Hotel room service and housekeeping needs to be revised because something is always forgotten. Food was great. Needs more vegetables on menu

Occidental Punta Cana: Amazing resort

This was our fourth year coming to this resort. It has new owners and the rooms and bathrooms have been completely transformed. Everything is very modern and I loved the shower. It had a big shower head like a rain shower and a hand held. Plumbing is great and lots of hot water. We missed the old style rooms but most younger people I'm sure would prefer them. There is wifi in rooms now but of course it isn't free. The house keepers were good and supplied everything we wanted. We always leav [... read more]e a tip on the bed and in the cooler They have elevators in all the buildings now which is great! The food is pretty good and plentiful. We were disappointed that the new rule for the alacarts is the men have to have long pants and closed shoes. We thought that was not very fair since women can wear shorts and sandles. The steakhouse alacart was awesome. The service was good in all restaurants but again we always tip. One dollar is really appreciated. We noticed this year that very few people tipped. These servers are very poor and need that little bit!!! The grounds are kept very clean and the workers are constantly busy. We miss the flowered hedges. They took them out for some reason. The weather was great and loved the beach and pools

Bahia Principe Explore Turquesa: Beautiful Resort!

Very large grounds, with 7 resorts to keep you busy! Food was great, pools were nice and plenty of them. Each day we walked around and found something new to do. The beach was a bit disappointing, I have definitely seen better. It felt compact, but nice sand and blue water!

Excellence Punta Cana: Second Time a Charm

This was our second time and once again it was amazing. The service, food and amenities were excellent. I can't wait to go back next year. I understand that the resort is getting some updates and that will be wonderful. I hope they add more bathrooms at the beach area and provide softer beds. Also some faster internet service would be appreciated. The only annoying issue is the lack of non smoking areas. Specifically around the bar and entertainment areas. Otherwise this is the best res [... read more]ort that we have been too. It was our 9th visit to the DR so we have been to a few resorts. Love them and DR.

Bahia Principe Explore Turquesa: Beautiful winter escape

Bahia Principe Turquesa Punta Cana Pros: Clean rooms, flatscreen tv, daily maid service, mini fridge replenished daily, jucuzzi tub in bathroom and a rainforest shower head. Buffet food good, ala cartes good, drink ok, white wine very dry but adequate, Grounds very well maintained, lots of shaded area with palapas Pools very clean,beach has loads of loungers and seed weed free, Entertainment in main lobby was a couple of singers that were very good. Cons: No orientation, beds are ve [... read more]ry hard, most cocktails were made with slushy ice mix, Overall I would rate this resort a solid 4 star. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate while we were there to be able to experience more of the resort but it was still amazing.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Best trip ever!

This resort is absolutely beautiful! My boyfriend and I loved every second of our vacation. The room was so fresh and clean, with a nice view of the resort. The staff always smiling and happy to assist us. We enjoyed the various shows and activities each night, night life is fabulous. The restaurants on the resort are superb, not a meal we didn't enjoy. Quick and easy access to the gorgeous beach. This is a place we will definitely go back to!

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Nice resort

The resort was beautiful. There were lots of pools to choose from. The beaches were nice but the water was a bit rough. There were waves everyday. The rooms were clean and our cleaning lady was amazing. Not sure I like the different coloured wrist bands, I felt like we were divided into classes. These bands let you into different areas. So if you were the lower class you couldn't go to certain beaches and the staff was right there to let you know.

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Beautiful modern resort

Overall we had a fantastic stay Would recommend to couples, solos and friends who like a more lively and up beat resort. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing resort I would not recommend. (although they do have down time during the day from the music and entertainment) Resort: Resort was very modern and very well maintained. Rooms: Room was always clean and fridge stocked daily Food: Although reading other's comments, the food here was one of the best we have ever had. I would [... read more] recommend all restaurants and buffet during your stay for supper. Good variety, quick service and friendly staff. Entertainment: Big shout out to Luis, Silvia and Fifi who made our stay amazing. They work very hard to entertain you during the day and the night. People often neglect to tip entertainers, remember just because they aren't pouring booze down your throats does not mean they are not working hard to entertain you. So please keep this in mind. The foam party was the best by far. If you love night life this place has great parties after 10PM. Drinks: Overall the drinks were what you would expect at an all inclusive. They do take their time in making them so please be patient. The best drinks served were at night while waiting for your meal in the sitting area outside of the restaurants as well as the main bar in the middle of the main entrance. Negative points: I do find some of the staff a little pushy trying to up sell you when you are walking to your room. I understand they are there to help you, but once you start talking they want to try and get you into a presentation that takes 2-3 hrs (from what I was told). Although you do get 100USD towards spa, or cabana etc. Other than that we had a great time and great experience at this very modern resort. I also want to thank Jonathon (hotel manager) for taking time during the day to walk around the pool and discuss and concerns that guests may have. Very professional.
