Occidental Punta Cana: Occidental Punta Cana

Hotel turned out to be very nice as they are updating all of the buildings. Check in was terrible talking an hour and a half at 10:00pm which is unacceptable with kids travelling. The rooms were clean an up to date with two double beds and two couches, air conditioning, fridge, safe, coffee maker and tv (which only had local channels). Each building had a concierge to help take care of anything you needed. Beach was fantastic with lots of loungers and shade available. Everything was accessi [... read more]ble as the resort was not too big. Food was good but got a little repetitive by the end of the week. Will not book with Sunwing again as plane was delayed two hours going down, our rep did not show up for the meeting on the first day and was never around, and boarded plane early on the way home only to sit for over an hour waiting to take off while vegetables were loaded. Overall once at the resort it was a relaxing week with great weather in Punta Cana.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Nice resort.

The resort is very well laid out and the staff are accommodating. Some of the staff were amazing and the FRAN group (Julie and Antoine) were great with their activities for children and adults. To be honest, I much prefer the low key atmosphere of Memories to Royalton. The pool bar manager Ramone and his staff were loveable as was Pedro of the hotel entertainment group. Generally speaking, most employees set an example for friendliness, courtesy and accommodation that city people (at least) [... read more] could adopt, in my opinion. Not being a "demanding" eater, I found the food and drink good (but difficult to handle due to the "all-inclusive" aspect). Pina Coladas and Rum - ouch!

Emotions by Hodelpa Puerto Plata: Good enough resort

Not what I expected or invisioned the resort would be. There were bees in the washroom of my hotel room coming from the hole in the ceiling. Everyday I would dispose of at least 6 bees. The toilet did not flush very well. The food was not great - not much variety - monotonous and plain. The nightly entertainment was ok. The only saving grace of the resort is the excellent staff - friendly and very helpful. Most likely will not return there or recommend it to my family and friends. Overall r [... read more]ating, 4 out 10.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Most Amazing Vacation!!

This was an amazing vacation. The resort is so beautiful, beach was amazing and the service was spot on!! Anytime we were looking for something there was always someone there to help. Highly recommend.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Family holiday

Hotel was fantastick! Wonderful kids club felt totally secure leaving the kids .. so many activities for them to do! Gorgeous grounds great food and the beat pool and lanscaping ive ever seen! Would like to return for sure!

Riu Merengue: Good time away

All in all this hotel was good and we did have a nice time together as a family. I was happy with the cleanliness of the resort and the facilities, the rooms were done every day and very clean, there were plenty of chairs at each pool (and options for pools) and the beach whether you wanted sun or shade, the buffet had a good variety and plenty of space to accommodate the 6 of us eating together and because you could go throughout the resorts you could pick which show if any you wanted to see t [... read more]hat night. There were activities throughout the day if you wanted to partake. The things I was disappointed in was that there were only 2 restaurants at the Merengue that you could choose from and there were no reservations, you had to line up at 6:00 each night is you wanted to go. The other things was the service at some of the bars was not very friendly and only 1 bar in all three places was open 24 hours. Otherwise any other bars only opened at 10:00 am. The biggest complaint was the quality of the alcohol. You have dispensers in each room but the alcohol was watered down and tasted awful. Also they only restock beer in your fridge every other day and only 2 tiny Coors Light. I have been to other resorts in the Dominican and the alcohol was much better everywhere else.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: good resort

nice resort, luck of variety of drinks, the room 27310 to far from the beach and playground, but over all it is a good resort for the money, stuff was good ... will recommend this resort to our friends

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Huge complex

The grounds are extremely well maintained. The lobby is functional and well situated. The villas /rooms in the punta Cana resort we found to be dated. Also, we had plumbing issues. Short on bath and face towels but would be supplied when we requested. Beds were not comfortable and neither were pillows. Food at buffet was very good as well as service. Found booking our entitled al la cartes very stressful. Look into it early. We figured that they must reserve a bunch of tables for gold members or [... read more] more privileged guests but that is unacceptable given how much we paid to go to the resort and our entitlement. Overall it was a great vacation. We found the "complex" too big however which resulted in a very busy beach. We instead opted to hang by our local pool which was nice but water was freezing cold. Staff are great.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Luxury Resort

It was a huge resort, very clean and well maintained. The food was very good and there was a variety selection of food. The beach however was not wide enough and there was seaweed every where. The night life was good, the disco was fun, but daily entertainment was not good at all!!! There was hardly any fun activities happening during the day. I personally prefer a smaller resort and more fun travellers and entertainers. The majority of the guests were Russians who were very cold and unfriendly! [... read more] In total it was a real luxurious restort but not a fun one.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Decent

Resort was nice, food was edible. Resort was waaayyy too big for my liking. And because of all the people the beach was packed! Couldn't get a al la carte reservation either. Probably wouldn't go back.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Love to splash at Splash

What a great first trip to Punta cana! Had the best located room near the water park which the kids loved. The staff were all awesome, esp Ramon the baretender and the entertainment staff. Love the beach and pools. Great entertainment. bartender

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Splash spectacular!

We went with my grandchildren to memories splash punta cana and had a wonderful time. I've been to other resorts in Punta cana but this was by far the most fun! Great food, room and the water park was terrific for the kids!

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: We love it here! We've gone twice now!

We have gone twice now and are going again next year and taking our kids -16 & 18 years because they will absolutely love it too. Food was even better this time, drinks were great, beach is beautiful and you can snorkel while still standing ten feet off shore. Love, love, love. We've also recommended this place to friends who have also all loved it!

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Somewhat disappointing

Our room as pretty nice except it smelled like sewage. The drinks were the worst I've ever had: way too sweet , not really frozen. After being there for a couple of days, it was very apparent that unless you had a time share there and had a VIP bracelet on, you could only use about one third of the resort. There were a lot of bars, pizzeria,restaurants, ice cream parlour , crepe place, sushi place and beach areas that we were not allowed to go. And premium drinks too. Sort of deceiving in the de [... read more]scription which does not state any of this.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Ho Hum

The hotel was clean, staff was friendly. That said it really was a "budget" hotel.....we paid for the upgrades, some of the upgrades included were a lock for the safe (I was surprised that a lock on a safe was not a standard amenity), room service (but our phone did not work for the first 3 days.... after asking 5 different people, it finally got fixed). Entertainment was actually dreadful.

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Outstanding Vacation spot!

I visited Now Larimar from Dec 28/16 to Jan 4/17 with my two children, sister and brother-in-law. This was our first time here and we loved every aspect of the holiday! The facilities were clean and very well-maintained. The staff all were so friendly and helpful. It was apparent that the staff wanted us to enjoy our stay and everyone appeared genuinely happy to be there. The activities and entertainment were amazing. The food was exceptional always. We would absolutely return to this res [... read more]ort and recommend it to other travellers.

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Great Resort, Amazing People

The Riu Bachata is a wonderful Resort, beautiful views, from the beach to the mountains to watching the cruise ships come in. We had a terrific time. Fabulous people, everyone there worked extremely hard to make our trip incredible. Loved the entertainment staff.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: superb resort

We visited luxury Bahia Principe Esmeralda resort for the first time last week. We felt so welcome.The staff was so polite and helpful. The food very well presented, delicious and lots of variety. The rooms very spacious and super clean. Pool and beach area very nicely kept. Thank you Brianna for finding this paradise for us.

Sunscape Dominican Beach: Awesome spot & highly recommend!

Great food! Loved the variety of salad offered at the restaurants & burgers, steak or chicken. Pizza Shop always available & drinks at poolside were most delicious. Rooms were very lovely, great king bed in our room as well as bar fridge stocked at no extra charge. Air conditioning worked awesome and could be adjusted easily. Lovely balcony to relax on in evening should you wish to. ✔️😊😊👍🏽

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Fabulous Resort

Everything about this resort was first class. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The rooms and grounds were extremely clean and well maintained. Although it is a very Maarten resort it was fairly easy to navigate and there are plenty of trams if you don't want to walk.
