Catalonia Royal La Romana: Amazing

Beautiful grounds , public areas and dining! Everything was truly amazing ! Gorgeous beach, best beach we have been to and we have been to many in the Caribbean. Can’t say enough good about this resort. The service was exceptional and the cleanliness was incredible!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Alright, But Won't Return

It was an alright place, but not worth the five-star price tag. My least favourite part of the experience was by-far the food. I found the buffet options very limited, and during my stay, I ended up with some digestion issues from some of the fish. Eventually I just played it safe and stuck with plain foods (e.g., toast and jam). I didn't enjoy any of the la carte restaurants; they took too long, portions were very small, and it wasn't that good. Pools were more for socalizing rather than actual [... read more] swimming. Too many smokers also ruined the experience. On the plus side, very friendly staff, although the poolside entertainment staff were a bit too much at some times (some days I just wanted to truly lounge out and felt pressured/pushed to always participate). Drink servers were very wonderful and super kind, as well as staff in general. Our shuttle drivers were a lot of fun and very friendly. Bonus points as our flight was delayed and they still drove us in the early morning hours. Their patience is most appreciated. Very good beach for swimming (so no need for the pool really), although the water was a bit dark to see anything. The gym was also quite sufficient and nice (i.e., it gets the job done). We wanted to rent the bicycles but the shop was randomly closed during working hours. Beach Zumba was also fun. Rooms need some upgrading work. Some items within it seemed rusted and or dated/worn-out. Could use more electric sockets too (only limited amounts, so this made charging electronics a bit difficult). We requested certain items to be restocked in the fridge but they did not honour this. Finally, while we were granted a late check-out, we were almost double-charged for this. I had to pay with my physical credit card (they wouldn't use it on file), and when we actually checked-out, they wanted to charge me again. I had to pull up my credit card information to show/prove that I already paid for the late check-out. If you get a late check-out, hold onto your receipt. Overall, it was alright, but I won't be returning.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Beautiful Resort!

Very friendly & appreciative staff. Very clean & lush grounds. You can be as laid back or active as you want with numerous activities & entertainment! Would recommend this resort. Restaurants had great varieties

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Bouganville is a Gem

I will start out by saying that the resort, every part of it was immaculately clean. From the rooms to the public areas and grounds. The staff are constantly cleaning everything!. The front desk were amazing, (shout out to Fabulous Fabio) helping in every way. We love the colonial architecture which to us is a great feature. We are not modernists and the whole resort felt comfortable and pleasing. Having the choice of an activity pool or quite pool was a bonus. And everything is only a [... read more] short walk. The buffet food was excellent with lots of choices. We even wandered over to La Romana, the family side of the resort a few times for dinner at the buffet and shopping. And coffee in the morning with a game of billliards by the bar before the heat of the day was fun. I would recommend this Resort to anyone as we had such a wonderful stay and will definately return.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Dreams Dominicus

Extremely friendly staff ,the food was good ,very clean. Resort very picturesque . The beach was very soft to walk but once in water it was excellent. We deal with Kevin Dupuis is great to deal with. He has taken the time to know what we like and don't like

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Nice hot weather

Nice resort, beautiful well kept , shower had limited hot water, had to shave with cold water, food was the same every day, goumet restaurants were not gourmet. Too many real estate sharks bugging us every day.Bahia Punta cana was better last year

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Dreams Dominicus La Romana

We travelled as a group of 5 adults to celebrate a milestone birthday and had stayed at other Dreams locations previously so had an idea of what to expect. We also booked as Preferred Club. Pros: The beach and ocean were great, a little more waves than usual for La Romana but we had unsettled weather during the week so that's to be expected. The bar service on the beach was great, the girls came by frequently are were very friendly. We booked a cabana for a day and had a lovely day wit [... read more]h wonderful service. Our room was a Master Swimout Suite in building 62. The room was lovely, spacious and I especially loved the alcove patio and sun beds. Very close to the beach and restaurants. Mini bar was restocked every day. Cons: The room location was very noisy. The pathway between our swimout pool and the building next to us (60 I believe) is constantly used by hotel staff as a general walkway to and from the main areas. There is constant foot traffic, housekeeping carts, service carts and golf carts rattling back and forth over the cobbles. Unfortunate because its the perfect spot for an afternoon siesta but you won't get the peace and quiet to actually have the siesta. The room was also beside the main entertainment square with the stage about 50 feet from our bedroom door. No hope for a quiet nightcap on the patio or an early night after a long day of travelling. The shows went to about 10:30 - 11:00 pm. The room also had cockroaches. They did spray the room a couple of times and I didn't see as many afterwards. The restaurants were hit and miss. We ate at all the restaurants including the buffet. Some dishes were quite good and others were close to inedible but mostly it was just okay. One thing I noticed across all restaurants is the heavy use of salt in their dishes. The food was plentiful and portions were generous. It was a challenge on a few occasions with the language barrier but that's not uncommon in the DR. The staff though tried really hard to please the guests and we had a great time with the majority. They went all out for my husbands birthday both at the buffet at breakfast and at the French restaurant for dinner. Our Butler Gustavo is a gem. Such a genuinely nice guy that takes pride in his work. I cannot say enough good things about him. He checked in with us every morning, made reservations, decorated our room and made my husbands birthday special. Would we return to Dreams Dominicus? No we wouldn't but we still had an enjoyable vacation.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Average resort

Very well maintained resort with very clean and comfortable rooms The buffets are very repetitive and the a la cartes are not waiting in line for as the quality is just average at best. The beach is nice to walk but the ocean is murky. The quiet pool is ok with a good bar and service.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Vacation

The only problem is the hot water, the rest is perfect. Very nice and helpful service, very clean and really wonderful greenery in the resort. Great appreciation for the fabulously colorful cakes. Thank you.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Great Resort

The staff at this resort are all amazing, super friendly and always wanting to help Rooms are large and clean, wonderfully large balconies Great bartenders! Food is good Only one thing they could work on is water pressure for the showers in the rooms Fantastic resort, will definitely return

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Beautiful Resort

The resort is nicely kept, good beach but not a very good access to the sea for the kids. A bit dissatisfied with the greyish colour of the water instead of the turquoise like in other Caribbean beaches. The food was great lots to choose from, staff very friendly. Overall good experience.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Hidden Gem

Food - outstanding, best I've had at an all-inclusive service-fantastic, rooms- large, but outdated. Beach- well tended-water had no jellyfish as stated in other reviews, but cloudy. 8.9/10. Would I go back? Absolutely.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Worth the price

Hotel was great. Very busy lots to do. Food was ok. Service was hit and miss. Good one day not so good the next. Room cleaning same good one day not so good the next. Minor issues throughout the week but nothing to cry about. Overall we enjoyed every minute.

Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach: Not even a 2.5 star resort

Located about an hour from the airport, fairly large resort. Grounds are nice, maintained well. Our room was okay, clean, power would flash the room lights at all times for about a week, difficult sleeping, reported to customer service 5+ times, not fixed. Buffet food was mostly cold, concerned about food safety. Hard to get items for non-gluten diet. Good, warm food in the a la carts. Very long nice beach. Surprised by the lack of a beach BBQ or beach bar. Staff wasn't overly friendly.

Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach: I would not recommend this resort

This resort is crowded the food is all served cold .Lights in my room went off and on all night for days .Terrible smell in bathroom. Long line ups at pool side bar as there is no bar at beach so they come to the pool bar. Most employees very rude the only service is the bar ,room and alacartes that where pleasant .There was 14 of us on this trip and half of us had stomach issues It was rated as a 4.1 when we booked it's more like a 2.3 at most

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Amazing Resort

Wonderful resort in all ways, staff were helpful, happy and lots of fun. Grounds were kept very clean, food was excellent. Enjoyed a la carte restaurants - easy to book! Felt completely safe walking to golf course etc. Golf course in great shape - all round great vacation! Beach wasn’t great but we knew that before booking and prefer poolside.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Great resort

As usual, rooms were spotless but dated and had very low water pressure in the shower which we were told was the entire resort. Food at main and beach buffets was excellent. Every night was a different theme and lots to choose from. Never a problem finding chairs either at the beach or by the pool. Lots of shade. Water in the ocean was murky due to the river close by. Not the blue you would normally expect. Lobby was massive with tons of places to sit and grab a coffee or a drink. Overal [... read more]l the resort was nice and we would go back.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Beautiful Grounds, Beautiful People

In general, we had a great stay at Bougainville. The resort grounds were very well kept. The staff were very pleasant and always willing to assist. Plenty of events planned throughout the day, if you want to be involved. Food, drinks and fresh water was always available. We had a couple issues during our stay but they were addressed promptly and efficiently. Here are my three (3) constructive takeaways for improvement: 1) A-La-Carte restaurants were difficult to book - if you download the app a [... read more]nd register with Bahia then you would be able to book reservations ahead of time, 2) The ocean was always mirky - not sure why 3) Rooms are in need of renovation - overall wear and tear has taken its toll on the rooms (corroded hinges, broken drawers and some electrical switch issues)

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Not the beach you are looking for...

We have been to many resorts around the Caribbean, and understand that different standards apply to different countries. That being said, when choosing a resort in the Dominican Republic, blue water and white sand beaches come to mind (and the food can be overlooked). This resort does not have beautiful beaches - the water is brown and not attractive. The food is fine (nothing to write home about) and the kitchen staff is polite and moderately attentive. Entertainment staff do a great job of ens [... read more]uring lots of participation. We found the room to be in need of renovation, and hot water was hard to come by. It's a VERY small resort. Lounge chairs were very difficult to find after 9am, despite the usual rule of not "saving" chairs. Overall, I would say it was fine, but would not return.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Best All Inclusive

The resort was beautiful with gorgeous landscaping. Staff were so friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to make guests experience special. The food was delicious. Christmas and NewYear’s Eve dinners were the best we’ve ever had. Entertainment was top notch. We can’t rate this resort highly enough and hope to return.
