Serenade Punta Cana Beach and Spa Resort: 10/10 Experience – Exceeded All Expectations!

My stay at Serenade Punta Cana Beach & Spa Resort was nothing short of amazing and truly exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained the entire resort was. The grounds, buildings, and rooms were spotless—no garbage anywhere—and everything looked modern, fresh, and up to date. I was also pleasantly surprised that I didn’t experience any mosquito issues during my stay. The views throughout the resort are stunning, and the [... read more] atmosphere was both relaxing and vibrant. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. There were multiple dining options, and every meal I had was impressive. The drinks were equally fantastic, with a wide variety and excellent quality. The staff at Serenade truly made the experience even more special. Everyone I encountered was friendly, respectful, kind, and incredibly helpful. Their genuine hospitality made me feel welcome and well cared for at all times. The entertainment was lively and fun, adding an extra level of enjoyment to the overall experience. Whether you wanted to join in or just watch, there was always something entertaining happening. While there was quite a bit of seaweed on the beach, I was really impressed by how diligently the staff worked every day to clean it up. Their consistent efforts made a big difference and ensured that the beach remained as enjoyable as possible. Overall, my experience at Serenade Punta Cana was a perfect 10/10. I would absolutely recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing, fun, and high-quality getaway. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Costly upgrades

My initial booking was for a fairly decent price but when I got on location I was being offered upgrades to a newer room which I initially declined, but when I got to assigned room I saw why I was being told to upgrade. I did so immediately and had to pay which was very disappointing! The newer room was way better compared to what we offered. However, it was also standard for what you expect to get when booking an all inclusive for 1 week with your children! Or just in general. Those other rooms [... read more] shouldn’t even be on the property. They are an absolute disgrace!

Ocean Blue and Sand: Amazing Resort

The agent thru trip central Candice Anger was patient when helping me select Ocean Blue and Sand. Her recommendation was spot on with our every needs. The resort she recommended was impressive with the layout of resort and not over sized. The resort was amazing. The hospitality was great and the hotel was clean. Friendly staff and good food. Thank you Candice Anger at tripcentral and Ocean Blue and Sand for making this family vacation very memorable!

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: Where the Atlantic Meets Luxury and Comfort

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful resort along the Atlantic Ocean, and it was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and a breathtaking view of the ocean just steps away. The property itself is stunning—well-maintained, with a perfect blend of modern comfort and natural beauty. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, offering balconies with panoramic views of the beach and the sound of waves as the [... read more] perfect wake-up call. The food was another highlight—fresh, flavorful, and varied. Every meal felt like it was crafted with care, from the seafood specialties to the international dishes, all paired with excellent service. The resort also had plenty to keep guests entertained—beachfront lounging, water activities, and cozy spots to simply relax and take in the scenery. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail of the stay was perfect, always friendly and attentive without being intrusive. What truly stood out was the combination of luxury and relaxation—it felt both indulgent and laid-back at the same time. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or just a peaceful escape by the ocean, this resort is an absolute gem. I left feeling completely refreshed and can’t wait to return in future if things go as planned. Highly recommend!

Dreams Playa Esmeralda Resort and Spa: Lovely resort with some wrinkles to be ironed out

The resort is aesthetically beautiful, so fresh and modern and visually very pleasing. Lovely rooms, pools, gym, restaurants, etc. The beach is quite wavy, with few people, so it feels like you the beach to yourself. On the flipside, it seems that in rushing things to open the resort to the public, it looks like some attention to construction might have been done haphazardly. For example, the trim around the door room popped off, and one of one potlights in the bathroom was accumulating wate [... read more]r. The staff are very pleasant, however, a number of the workers in the restaurants do not understand English, so service was not always up to par. In general, the food was good, some things better than others. There is a good variety though to choose from, which is a plus. As well, many of the events listed on their activities schedule did not take place at all and/or ran late. However, the activities that took place were wonderful, and were run by an energetic and friendly entertainment team (shoutout to Yailin). Overall, a great place with a lot of potential. I chalk up the weaknesses to the « opening pains » of a new resort.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Amazing Resort

This hotel is second best to None! The moment you step foot on the lobby you are greeted with a warm Welcome Home and I felt that vibe of you’re a family member they had been waiting! Our first dinner at the buffet my daughter already bond with Keila and every single worker is warm and accommodating and wanted to do anything that would make your stay relaxing pleasant and memorable.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Great Resort

I loved Majestic Elegance Punta Cana. Very relaxing environment. The staff is great, kind, helpful. The room is clean, food is great,entertainment is great. I had great time during my stay. It is welcoming place. I definitely recommend this place to my friends. There is only one incident happened. This doesn't effect overall my feeling to this place. I was getting towels to go beach, the staff asked my how many towels, I said three and the staff repeat that THREE TOWELS PLEASE. I shocked and [... read more] try to understand him why he has attitude because I was kindly said three. He may looking for tip but I gave the tip a day before to his colleague and I didn't have my wallet with me and I am over 50 years old and the staff was young. He didn't have his badge and I walked 20 meters and decided to go back and ask his name. I asked his name, he was with his collegue at that time, he took his id from his pocked and showed it, his name is ALEXANDER FRASER. There are many employees working hard and this person need to get some more costumer service training. He may be tired at that moment but We worked all year and saved money for this vacation and need to relax and have good time also. Overall everything was great.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Beautiful Resort!

The grounds were beautiful. The kids loved the water park! The main pool had various activities throughout the day, which were fun! The beach was disappointing with the seaweed. I believe that the beach would have been gorgeous at a different time of year. The drinks were good and they had various different drinks of day. Lots of dining options for dinners. We often had Breakfast and lunch at the buffet. Not a tone of variety throughout the week at the buffet but still pretty good. The gelato ba [... read more]r is was our favourite. My kids had about 8-10 ice creams a day lol! The cafe was very good as well. Lots of great options in there! Overall, it was a wonderful holiday. I would definitely recommend this resort to families with young children. I will for sure go back to another dreams resort again just not in august.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Not truly Adults only

The hotel was nice however it was falsely advertised as adults only. There was a portion of the resort which was ‘adults only’ however kids were still accessing the beach where the adults only part was. The main dining area was also shared with families and kids. I requested something nice be done via email, as I was there to celebrate a birthday - nothing was done. The beach wasn’t the greatest either. Having said that the staff there were very nice and always polite. The housekeeping, entertai [... read more]nment staff and over all everyone was absolutely lovely. It’s unfortunate but I would not return.

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Fair resort for what we paid

The hotel was clean , a bit run down, some renos required. Buffet was ok, a la carte restaurants much better . Pushy salespeople trying to sell timeshares . Very frustrating! Diamond club members favoured over non- diamond club regarding the app to book restaurants. Karina was very helpful . Give her a raise. More work required to clean seaweed on the beach .

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: Needs facelift and less harassments

Resort grounds clean/ nice. Pools need staff cleaning cups /food inside. Beach needs cleaning. Terrible seaweed issue not dealt with every day. Watch out for some guest services personnel. Yaqui - very bad harassment on time sharing selling service. The only person we loved and appreciated was Carina. Amazing and caring Carina who helped us book restaurants. The App they provided only gave us a 9 pm dinner time line. I have been to several Royalton resorts and this one needs a facelift.  [... read more]Everything including building falling apart. This specific Royalton favours Diamond Club and others are treated differently.

HM Alma De Bayahibe Hotel: Beautiful Resort!!

The resort was beautiful, the staff were very friendly, food was decent. I did know that the resort did not have a beach but I did not realize how much I would miss it. All in all 3.5/5. Not sure I would stay at this resort again

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Amazing resort!!!

An amazing family vacation at an amazing resort. Excellent service and a great entertainment team. Second visit for us at Dreams Onyx and can’t wait to go back! Thank you Leo for all the great dancing.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Amazing resort!

Excellent service from the hotel staff, very clean amenities all around the facility, family friendly and detail oriented, very nice dining options for everyone and great entertainment schedule every night. Overall, very pleasant experience.

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Nice Resort

The resort itself was nice. The service was not really great. The room were not really clean, we had to request to get it cleaned. No fresh towels, that was also requested. The food was also not that great. we got no proper service at the restaurants, we had to wait for our food like 2 hours. Even on buffet we did not get any attention from the servers.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Great stay at Gran Ventana

I stayed there with my teenage kids (age 19 and 15). We had 2 separate rooms, side by side. The rooms were well appointed, although a bit aged and could be due for an update soon, if the resort is not changed to a condo develooment like many of the prior resorts in Playa Dorada. We loved the compactness of the resort - just the right size, it's short distance from the airport, and the proximity to Puerto Plata. The grounds looked great, the pool was very nice and the beach was great.The buffe [... read more]t restaurant and the snack bar combined offered a very good variety. The 3 a la carte restaurant were very good as well, and they offered a nice ambience. We spent hours each day playing volleyball in the pool. The entertainment was really good as well. Altogether we had a great week there thanks to the wonderful staff. I am bad with names, but Amoury and Rosa stood out. The pool entertainment guys and gals were fun as well. I would certainly return!

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Nice resort

The hotel is nice but rooms are outdated! rusty and holes in tubs, low water pressure. Cabinets ( closets) and dresser drawers got stuck. Cleaning staff does a good job cleaning the rooms just old. Air conditioner not great woke up some nights sweating. Buffet was good somedays we had to wait to get in too over capacity. Food quality and service in Buffet and A la Carte were great! Steak house was phenomenal. The Sports bar service was not great especially when ordering drinks, bartenders woul [... read more]d overlook you and serve a local even though you were waiting 1st. Beach is beautiful well kept lots of chairs and shade. Pool was ok, some worn out areas, cracks in the concrete my son cut his toe. Not enough umbrellas in the pool area to protect from sun some shaded areas were available. Games and activities by the pool were good, entertainment staff were all great. Overall a good holiday but for the price the resort should update rooms.

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Very nice Resort

This resort is very clean, friendly, professional I would recommend this resort to anyone and would even go again to this resort but I would upgrade to a swim up room with ocean view. Only thing I wish It has was beer in my fridge in my room stocked daily.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Amazing resort

Overall, our experience at Majestic Colonial was awesome. The food quality and service were excellent, and it’s worth highlighting how attentive and cordial the staff were. they were always ready to help. I especially enjoyed the fresh fish and fruits. One minor concern was with the housekeeping service. Although we requested our room to be cleaned before 11 a.m., it was usually done in the afternoon. My only recommendation for the resort would be to offer HALAL meat options for guests who ar [... read more]e interested
