Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Great hotel

Grounds were kept immaculate Room was standard didn't get what I asked though Great hotel overall The beaches were great and the services were standard. The people were very friendly and courteous. We arrived At 12.30 in the afternoon but our room was only ready at 3.pm and that was not cool at all.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Beautiful Resort

Beautiful resort, amazing food, service was wonderful expensive shopping, fair service from sunquest rep, alcohol wasn't the best.. very cheap, casino wasn't fair.. switched dealers and burned 5 cards everytime we were winning a few hands, Overall it would be a 3.5 star resort!!!!

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Perfect escape

The hotel was in excellent condition. Grounds are well maintained. We loved our room and the attention to detail. We had a Junior suite on the 4th floor with an added bonus of a private outdoor patio and hottub. It was our 35th anniversary so we certainly appreciated the extra touches. The food was very good. Our favourite restaurant was the Japanese steakhouse. We were a bit disappointed with the French restaurant. We were served very well. They advertised a tennis tournament. I inquired a [... read more]bout it and was told to show up. The regular pro was on vacation and so they recruited a former pro to come and play with me, even no one else showed up. I definitely appreciated them going the extra mile. The beaches and pools are great.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Good family resort

We had a good experience at this hotel where we spent some family time relaxing by the pool, kids played countless hour at the water park, and we enjoyed the nightly entertainment. We left with some great memories and felt fully rested. The food was good and the main buffet had a great selection which varied from night to night. There were, however, things that could have been better. We found the resort was too big and too populated and as the result going anywhere within the resort with kids [... read more] was not as convenient. You had to wait for the bus, sometimes it was full and you had to wait for the next one. Also, at times you would not be able to get any towel at the beach since hey had ran out! They also don't have enough restaurants for the number of guests they host. We weren't able to book all of our restaurants since the only available time was at 10:30 pm and that is too late with kids. Overall, we had a good time, but this resort can improve some of its services.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Great time overall!!

The hotel was nice, clean and perfect for relaxing adult getaway! Food very good, beach beautiful but cod of done without all pirranas (venders). Staff service great and timely when needed. Would return for sure for girls getaway or couple retreat!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Amazing Resort

Sensational resort!!!! A fabulous family vacation!!!!!! Would definitely recommend this resort! From the grounds , pool, beach, bars, and variety of foods from the buffets or al a cartes everything was to our liking!!!!!!

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Super magnifico resort!!!

Breathless Resort was beautiful and the staff was extremely attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the fantastic food at all of the various restaurants! The beach was clean and the ocean waters were warm. Loved the fact that many activities were offered and that it was also possible to have quiet relaxing time on the beach.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Amazing resort!!

Beautiful beach! Impeccable grounds dining rooms! Great food,bars! Great buffets lots of varieties,very clean! Needs to improve housekeeping in rooms. The best staff!!😘 Amazing ETeam! Dr. On site! Overall very nice! I would visit it again.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Nice resort

Resort was nice. The grounds where hard to navigate around tho. Food was ok nothing to write home about Staff was friendly and accommodating. Wedding I attend was well put together the planner did an awesome job.

Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Good

Pros: staff is friendly and helpful, food is good, resort is clean and well taken care of. Cons: we got a privileged room on the ground floor, terrible odor of sewage in the bathroom; we had to keep running AC at low setting so it circulates the air to minimize the odor. Probably because we bought a privileged package they tried to sell us a travel club membership. We did not intent to buy anything, the staff assured us it would be a get to know presentation with the gift because we are privile [... read more]ged customers, however in fact they try to sell membership which was a waste of time for us and no gift probably because we were not interested in buying, I would prefer honesty upfront, so we would not waste the time.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Great resort

This will be the third time i have travelled to the Gran Ventana i always enjoy this resort and the atmosphere it provides. The resort was very clean. Amazing staff that did there very best at trying to get everyone envolved with activities and pool games. The food at the gran ventana had to be the best i have ever tried while staying in the dominican republic, and this has been my seventh time traveling to this beautiful country. There were no issues with the room impecible maid service, comfor [... read more]table beds and excilelnt AC. Another amazing factor about this resort is that it is only a 25 minute drive from the airport wich is very convenient for eager travellers like myself. Overall was a great experience and we will be returning to the resort.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Excellent Resort!

Breathless is an excellent resort! A great place for couples of all ages and single people. A Party atmosphere all the time, but also areas where you can relax and be away from the crowds. Rooms are very clean and spacious. Food is outstanding. All those who work at the Hotel are very kind and courteous! They always pay attention to you! Beach is lovely! Great bar service on the beach too! I would definitely return to Breathless in Punta Cana and recommend it to anyone!

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Good, but could be even better

My family and I recently returned from a fun vacation at Memories Splash in Punta Cana. The grounds and pools were very nice. The water in the pool was always nicely heated by the warm sun... be sure to wear sun screen though :). The beach was super easily accessible (about a 3 minute ride) by frequently available shuttles. The beach is beautiful and the water temperature is nice and mild... great for someone like me who hates getting into cold water. The water park is fantastic for kids and adu [... read more]lts. Great food options at all restaurants... but beware of Montezuma's revenge upon your return. There were 2 significant areas in need of improvement before my family and I return to Punta Cana and Memories Splash. One, the Punta Cana airport is a complete and utter Gong Show... it took us about 3 hours to get though the airport when we arrived in Punta Cana... picture being shuffled through like in a slaughter house... hot, depressing, frustrating... you name it, we experienced it. Leaving Punta Cana wasn't much easier... line after line after line... Second, the majority of the staff at Memories are not very welcoming at all... some seemed down right disinterested in interacting with us and some were simply down right rude and dismissive. However, there was one particular gentleman who worked at "Selections" who was very very nice and often went out of his way to come say hi to us and chat for a few minutes... we always left him a generous tip. So, in a nutshell, the resort and beach are beautiful and well maintained and the water park and pools lots of fun, but we will not be returning because of the airport and the staff... and probably because of the Montezuma's revenge (but I'm sure the revenge only has it out for some people)

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Friendly and cozy resort

Our overall experience and stay at the resort was pleasant though the arrival was pretty unusual. We were herded to the side of the lobby instead of the usual check in at the counter. This could have been done more efficiently instead. The staff members are friendly and always smiling. Our thanks to Nilson, Manuel, Lisbeth, Adizario at the buffet area for their services and their welcoming smiles. Food wise a little repetitive so it was not as exciting. The pasta area was my favourite as it wa [... read more]s prepared in front of you so it was hot and nice and tasty too. The food was good but the selection was limited. Our room was comfortable and clean and thank goodness the AC works and no water clogged in our bathroom. TV channels included BBC and HLN to keep us updated throughout , you see we are news addict. Beach and pool area are well maintained however you see plastic cups on the beach due to strong afternoon wind which blew them away easily when its empty😉 The gym area which was used frequently was functioning well basic equipment treadmill stair master and a stationary bike. Safety wise like anywhere else, have to be careful and not wonder off unless you are familiar and speak the language. We definitely stood out as we have the word tourist written on our forehead being the minority group. They have nightly entertainment and a notice is put up on the board on the programs scheduled through out the day. Played volleyball or rather picking up the ball most of the time but we had fun. There were beach vendors walking to sell souvenirs and offering massages. We were approached many times and kept saying no thank you and after a few days they almost stopped coming. We did a half day City Tour excursion which included a cable car ride to the botanical garden, jewelry, rum, cigar factory and down area. Overall we had a great time and returned home totally relax. Unfortunately that was gone after a few days. Back to the real world however with lasting memories. Special thanks to 'Harry Potter' our trip central rep who took care of us.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: VERY NICE HOLIDAY

HELLO ALL, WE JUST RETURNED FROM BE LIVE MARIEN AFTER A RELAXING WEEK, THE HOTEL IS VERY CLEAN THE STAFF ARE FRIENDLY AND THANKFULLY THE AIR CONDITIONING WORKED LIKE A CHARM, WE STAYED IN A STANDARD ROOM BUILDING 3 WHICH WAS VERY NICE, WELL APPOINTED, BED WAS VERY COMFORTABLE, SHEETS AND LINEN APPEARED FAIRLY NEW, GREAT WATER PRESSURE IN SHOWER AND PLENTY OF HOT WATER, MAID SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT AND MINI BAR WAS STOCKED DAILY, THE FOOD WAS VERY GOOD AND NO ONE HAD ANY ISSUES, THE BUFFET WAS BETT [... read more]ER THAN MOST ALL INCLUSIVES THAT I HAVE BEEN TO, THE ONLY THING I COULD POSSIBLY COMPLAIN ABOUT WAS THE BREAKFAST SELECTION DID NOT CHANGE A LOT, BUT HERES THIS COMPLAINT COMING FROM A GUY WHO EATS TOAST ,FRIED EGG AND A COFFEE FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS FOR BREAKFAST, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ENJOY BEVERAGES BY THE POOL THERE IS NO POOL SIDE SERVICE OR POOL BAR, DURING THE SUMMER THERE ARE A LOT OF LOCALS ON THE WEEK ENDS, WE BOOKED DINNER IN THE RESTARANTS FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, THE SNACK BAR HAD A VERY GOOD MENUE AND WAS USUALLY OPEN, GREAT CHICKEN WINGS AND BURGERS AND FRIES, AND SOME PRETTY GOOD THIN CRUST PIZZA ALONG WITH SALADS, ENTERTAINMENT AT NIGHT WAS HIT AND MISS BUT THATS A PERSONAL CHOICE. WE DID SEE THE JUNIOR SUITE UNIT WHICH WAS REALLY NICE AND YOU CAN HAVE AN ATTACHED STANDARD ROOM FOR AN EXTRA $70 A NIGHT WHICH I THINK WAS WORTH IT, JUST EMAIL THE HOTEL AND THEY WILL ARRANGE THE UP GRADE AS IT WAS NOT OFFERED ON THE TOUR PACKAGES. NOW I REALLY DONT HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HOTEL BUT I THINK THESE SUGGESTIONS WOULD MAKE IT THAT MUCH BETTER. 1- HAVE 1 OR 2 PERSONS WORKING THE POOL SIDE BEVERAGE SERVICE. 2- SUN UMBRELLAS FOR AROUND THE POOL AS SHADED AREAS ARE AT A PREMIUM IN THE AFTERNOON, 3- A HOT TUB WOULD BE A NICE ADDITION TO THE POOL AREA, WE BOOKED THIS TRIP AS A LAST MINUTE GETAWAY, PAID $750 FLIGHT INCLUDED AND UPON RETURNING WE BELIVE WE GOT A GREAT DEAL, AND WERE ACTUALLY LOOKING TO GO BACK IN AUGUST HOWEVER THE PRICE IS NOW $1100+ SO WE ARE GOING TO SAMANA INSTEAD. I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU BRING A THERMAL MUG, WE BROUGHT 2 , A LARGE ONE FOR BEER AND A SMALL ONE FOR COFFEE AND COCKTAILS, SOME FRANKS HOT SAUCE FOR YOUR EGGS AND WINGS, A RELAXED ATTITUDE AS THIS IS NOT CANADA AND A SMILE, HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A HEALTHY, HAPPY AND SAFE HOLIDAY

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Beautiful Resort!

Everything was great about this resort! Friendly staff and great food! The pools were massive especially on the palace side. Beaches were beautiful and water was perfect. 40 degrees every day, couldnt have asked for better weather. Disco open every night as well as a casino next door which is 24hrs. Went in with $20 walked out with $200 and peaced out within 10 minutes. Im good. Definately go back again!

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Fun upbeat resort

I thought the resort was older and was tried to be well maintained. However I did not find the pools or rooms very clean. The staff was very fun & upbeat! They made you feel welcome and also had fun with you. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. The food was ok but nothing special. Overall the staff made the experience such a great one!

Riu Republica: Nice place

Good food, actually very good food. Liked that all of the 3 restaurants were along the same row. Quite nice beach and enjoyed the walk up pool bar. Large resort and quite nice. I didn't feel it warranted a 5 star rating, not as luxurious as what I would consider to be a 5 star. Maids did well with keeping it clean. Unusual washroom - it had a smoked glass wall in the shower so that others in the room could see outlines of the person as they took a shower! Not a good design idea. Felt very  [... read more]secure. A few of the staff did not speak English, but they did the best they could. Staff were all very nice and provided good service.

Grand Palladium Punta Cana: amazing resort (wow)

we just got back from the grand palladium punta cana and it was great, almost flaw-less, i think the food, drinks ans service was the best i ever had so far, in my group of 12 i think everyone was happy and everyone said they will return some day, i know i will. if you go on trip advisory and if you read the bad reviews they are the people that can fine 7 things with a rain bow and should stay home. it's a beautiful place and if you do book and go you will have the time of your life. thanks for  [... read more]reading. wayne.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Beautiful resort!

Thanks to Karol Chareza our travel agent we had an amazing time in Punta Cana. Karol suggested Gran Baha'i Punta Cana and made all our arrangements for us and he was just wonderful and so full of knowledge. The resort is very large and beautiful and grounds are immaculately kept. The rooms are clean but a little dated. Your not in them much so not a big deal. Buffet and restaurants where excellent. Plenty of variety on the buffets and good quality too. The shows at night are very good, especiall [... read more]y the Michael Jackson show, a must see. Very hot in Punta Cana and trying to get a chair in the shade around the pool proved to be difficult most days as people reserve them very early in the morning by placing their towels on them. Good food areas around the pool and bar service was good. All in all a great time.
