Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana: Very clean resort

This resort was extremely clean. Never seen one bug which is surprising due to the extremely hot and humid climate. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. In particular Patricio from the Waves restaurant went out of his way to make sure our holiday was enjoyable. At the pool, the servers were very accomadating especially Solanji, she was always greeting us with a smile. The only complaint was the decaf coffee at the buffet was INSTANT COFFEE and since I cant drink caffeinated coffee, I had t [... read more]o drink water or juice. They need to brew decaf in the morning. We had to go to the lobby after eating to get a decaf coffee which was delicious but it would have been nice to drink coffee WITH breakfast. All in all it was a good holiday!

Zoetry Agua Punta Cana: Pure Paradise

I would not hesitate to book another vacation through Susan Snider, nor would I hesitate to return to Zoetry. Both could not have made our stay more wonderful. When booking through Susan, she was available via email and phone to answer any and all of our questions. She gave honest and helpful advice that made selecting a resort really easy. Further, she listened to our responses and together we arrived at a resort that was everything we could have wanted. The resort itself was absolutely won [... read more]derful and we did not have to want for a single thing. The small scale of the resort was appealing to us. While a smaller resort, it had everything we could have wanted and more. It wasn’t until the latter half of our trip that we took advantage of the spa area and that’s simply because we were enjoying all of the other amenities. I really enjoyed the fact that we did not have to make reservations for any of the restaurants. We could go when we pleased and did not have to worry about being somewhere for a specific time. It was a vacation we will cherish!

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Wonderful Resort

This resort has it all. Many pools to chose from, close walking distance to the beach. Great selection of restaurants, clean and spacious rooms and fun, professional entertainment at night. Shout out to Junior at the lobby bar, Eliphet and Jefry who always gave us awesome drinks with a smile. Their customer service was outstanding.

Occidental Caribe: Not as advertised

The hotel is very old (and it shows every where) but clean. However, the food is mediocre at best and only about 5% of all the employees speak any English. It was very hard to get anything since no one understood what you're trying to say. Making reservation for ala cart restaurant was an ordeal. it took over an hour to communicate and get reservations. From all the restaurants we've tried, I only recommend the French (both food and service was great). Our toilet brook and we had to wait 16 ho [... read more]urs for someone to come and fix it (the technician and the supervisor both didn't speak English so we couldn't talk to them). Every time we called Guest Services we were told that someone is coming or were told nothing and the person who answered just hanged up on us. When we physically went to the Guest Service we were told that there is no Technician on premises and they will call someone to come to the resort.... They wouldn't change rooms for us, so my husband and I had to go to the lobby to use the bathroom..... Over all I would give this resort 3 stars (even though they have the potential to be a 5 star resort)!

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Royal Beaches

My girl friend I had a wonderful time at Royal Beaches in Punta Cana This was our second time at this resort and found that there was great improvement this time. Food was more tasty and staff from cleaning crew to maintenance was so great. Everyone was so polite and curtious and speaking to us when greeted. We had a hot water problem and that was quickly resolved. Very satisfied and planning to return.

Occidental Caribe: Honest Review

My honest review. This resort is definitely an older resort. The resort was kept clean on a daily inside and out. Of course they can not keep a cleaner at ever public washroom all day so on occasion there was a mess on a toilet or on the floor. That is no fault of the resort. Our room was a superior oceanfront room. In my head an oceanfront room is actual right close to the ocean. That is not the case an oceanfront room is actual a straight on ocean view. This should be specified. Our room wa [... read more]s in unit one on the second floor. We were lucky and got two balconies as our room was a corner unit. That was a pleasant surprise. Our room was also the top unit which there are usually 4 floors but this section was only had 2 floors. I mention that because in many reviews there was leaks coming from units above. Just because we didn't have a unit above us did not save us from having a leak coming from above when it rained. We booked with airtransat. They sell you an oceanfront room that comes with many perks. However there was really nothing in our room that was supposed to come with it. That being said im a seasoned traveler and knew if I left notes for the maid daily and tipped with money and treats that she would bring us what we needed. She gave us new towels when requested. Stocked our fridge with pop and water. Left us beer and rum when requested. She was a lovely lady and did a fine job keeping our room cleaned and supplied with the necessities. Our room was definitely on the smaller size but ample for us as we don't spend alot of our time in our room. One issue was that we booked two superior ocean front rooms and one was in unit one and one was in unit four. That should not happen in my opinion but we made it work. We got up early Sunday morning to stand in line to reserve the a la cartes. We were able to book 4 right away but were told that we'd have to come back the following Sunday to reserve additional a la cartes. We stayed for 10 days but chose not to wait in line the following Sunday. Partially because we didn't want to line up but also because the buffet has a theme each night and the food was actually good in my opinion. My group of 5 adults also felt the same about the food. We ate at the Italian, Japanese, Dominican and Mexican a la cartes. They were all good. We had a surprise, one of our group members daughters showed up to surprise her and each restaurant allowed her to join us. Thanks for that. There was a smaller buffet by the swim up bar pool also a pizza place that served at lunch right above that buffet. We spent some days at the swim up bar pool. There was also a very shallow pool to the one side where you could sit on the bottom and relax in the water. That shallow pool hardly ever had anyone in it. That was wonderful. We of course had our favorite pool bar girls. She would bring us drinks wherever we were. We gave her money tips and fed her snacks that we brought from our country. She was a pleasure. The quiet pool was right in front of our room and we spent a few days there also. There is a bar by this pool also. There was only one day that they played music around this pool. If you want pool chairs you must get up early to put your towels on them. I hate that people do this but if you don't you will be shit out of luck. There are ample places for chairs they just don't have enough. That is definitely something the resort should rectify. The beach was stunning. Beautiful color, beautiful sand. Lots of palms on the shore line for shade. Once again a shortage of chairs. There were no umbrellas on this beach. The ocean was always wavy. This would be a deterante for some but a fun time for us. There was a different show nightly. I caught a few shows and they were average for a resort but entertaining. There are also on site shops, over priced just like other resorts. There was pool tables, a casino. Im not a gambler but was talked into going in with my group to try our luck with 20 dollars each. I left with 150 in my pocket. They have a weight room climbing wall and a trapeze. Also a disco for the night owls. Would I go back? Yes I would. This resort is bigger then I like but it was a good resort. I was worried after reading reviews but there was no need to worry. We got what we paid for.

Riu Bambu: RIU MAMBO

We vacationed from Jan17- 31 at the Riu Bambo We were in Building 0912 Nice room clean great maid always fresh towels lots of toilet paper could have used an extra blanket though The grounds are lovely well kept The breakfast crew were Fantastuc Jesus and the 3 others when I came into dining room He would get my Tea& Juice for me very Thankful to have friendly service made our holiday was glad to see them again for dinner at buffet We tried all the el cartes Liked the Mexican the best Hung out a [... read more]t pool bar Johnny bar tender was friendly very efficient enjoyed bingo at 5 everyday Also the Riu parties Enjoyed the Michael Jackson show Enjoyed the sportsbar and the staff there All & All great vacation Thank You to everyone

Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Family vacation.

Our kids are 2.5 and 1 - this resort was perfect for them. I cannot stress enough how the staff went above and beyond making our kids feel special each and every day. A very special shout out to Wescar and Lus in the buffet dining room - your kindness and smiles are contagious and you brightened my kids days every time we ate there. Thank you.

Majestic Mirage Punta Cana All Suite Resort: Beautiful Resort

The resort was clean the room was large . The restaurants and bars and cafe had great service the people were all friendly I will return again hopefully. The servers around the pool and beach were very attentive.

Serenade Punta Cana Beach and Spa Resort: super bad

I never experience nothing like that before. For the first day I didn't feel like I'm welcome Service it was one of the biggest problems Manager of the resort was aware of all the issues we have but he was to busy enjoying his own life That trip was very important to me and I left disappointed and very unhappy

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Nice Resort

Overall this was a nice middle of the line resort. Lots of food options with no reservations required, we got in to whichever restaurant we wanted. The buffet had a wide variety. There was always a bar nearby. The resort was an appropriate size, not so big that you get tired walking from one end to the other but you wouldn't want it to be any bigger. The land was nice and flat no big hills or stairs to climb. The room I was in was recently renovated with a jacuzzi tub and stand up shower and h [... read more]ad a couch and king size bed. Lots of open walking space and a large balcony. The water slide, casino, and night club were fun activities to shake things up. Beach was nice. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the layout. The buildings were close together with pools between some of them, it felt a little claustrophobic until you get into the main area. Agree with the 4 star rating.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Fantastic..

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oceans Blue and Sand Resort..we don't have any complaints ..food was great..staff was good..welcome staff was over the top as soon as you set foot off bus....We had a Happy Anniversary banner put on our door for the 10days..was really nice..

Ocean Blue and Sand: Good resort

The beach, pool and lanscaping was excellent, the room and buffet dining was good, we never tried the restaurants because from past experience the portions are small and you do not feel satisfied plus buffet had a large selection to choose from.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Quiet, peaceful and beautiful

I had never been to an adults only resort before, but I wish I had! So peaceful and quiet. The resort itself was amazing. The grounds were beautifully kept. The food was amazing, best that I think I have had during any trip south! The rooms, slightly dated but functional. The only reason to be in the room anyway was sleep and shower! Staff are amazing - shout out to Miguel!

Caribe Deluxe Princess: Very nice resort.

Grounds were clean. Entertainment was great. Rooms were spacious and clean. Maid was great. Servers were courteous. Women’s bathrooms could use a little more attention. Food was good. Some food dishes could be warmer.

Riu Bambu: Good resort

Could use pool renos broken tiles in the pools someone could cut their feet and ruin there vacations.staff was very good and friendly tour operators were informative. Place was clean restaurants were always full.Riu party was amazing.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Great vacation

Adult side of the Barcelo Bavaro complex, great location on the beach. Beach no problem getting a lounger any day, there was always availability. Water was calm and clear, swam with the fish and turtles. Ground were clean and well maintained. Staff very pleasant and helpful, even with a language barrier at times. Some activities in the evening but it was an easy 5-6 minute walk to the main area at Palace if you want more late night activities. There was always good food available. We found th [... read more]e Buffets often had the same if not better food than the restaurants. Had our best meal at Santa Fe. The buffets at the Palace had more choice than Beach but were much busier. The room ( we were at the basic level) was dated but had what you would need. Most rooms close to the main area. The gym at the main resort had decent equipment for a resort but was busy at times. Had something taken from the shelf that was never found, not what you would expect at a higher end resort. We would visit again and would recommend the adult side for a relaxing vacation

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Nice Resort

This hotel is well maintained both inside and out. The gardens are lovely and frame the buildings and pools beautifully. We did not receive the ElBaso wrist bands and were therefore not allowed to partake in any of the upgraded pools, Restaurants, etc. that this review request suggests. We were asked to leave the beach side restaurant as our wristbands were not the correct ones. This was disappointing as we were given the upgrade at checkin.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Mediocre stay

We stayed at Barvaro Palace from Jan 23-30, 2025 and it was underwhelming. The room was a junior suite with the jacuzzi which was nice. There was a door I guess for the room next door but you could hear everything. The wash area is not a room, the only thing separating you from the rest of the people in your room is a few mirrors or a frosted door which you can hear and see everything. Just odd. The hotel lobby was beautiful. No issues with staff or check in. We were in building 6 so it was a l [... read more]ong walk everywhere. The food was dreadful. We tried the seafood restaurant one evening it was so bad we couldn’t eat it. I had the lobster ravioli which look like a big heavy sheet of pasta. We didn’t see any filling. Just couldn’t eat it. The buffet was the cheapest foods around. Rice , mashed potatoes, pasta mainly. The pizza was good but it was always out so you would wait. Anything good or different was very limited and gone quickly. I was unwell after one evening and couldn’t leave the room the whole next day from an upset stomach. It is just so big and impersonal, more attention paid to the casino and shopping area. Just not what is shown on videos Would never go back

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Needs some TLC

The hotel was HUGE. The buggies were constantly around so no trouble getting around. Rooms were nice, we were in Villa 2. Always stocked fridge and towels. Room service for extra items was quickly delivered. If your staying at Grand Punta Cana you don't get access to all the other hotels within the Bahia Chain. It's the lowest tier resort of the seven hotels. Beach was beautiful but chairs were over crowded and on top of each other. If you weren't at the beach by 6am good luck getting a seat. Th [... read more]at goes for the pool also. Unfortunately the food was terrible and service during meals was not great. Everything was overcooked or sometimes raw and constantly the same thing. The A LA Carte restaurants were decent minus the Greek one - awful. Tons of mosquitoes so if you don't want to get eaten alive, go inside your hotel by 8 pm. We had a baby so we didn't stay for entertainment because we didn't want her to get bitten by mosquitoes. Never had an issue with getting a towel. The Staff at the resort were very kind. I would definitely stay at a different hotel within the Bahia chain. I would suggest to pay more and get on the luxury side. Overall, although we had a really nice time, the weather was beautiful. We went in January 2025.
