Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Great resort

We stayed here May 31 to June 7. The hotel is very nice. The grounds are well maintained and the staff are very helpful. The food is excellent though we ate mostly at the buffet and only tried the Asian restaurant. The only place for improvement would be the quality of the beach which had lots of seaweed. Overall, you can't go wrong with this resort, especially for the price

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Excellent amenities

Great, except the pools and certain bars close too early. would really like 24hr access to those. The service was fantastic. Our room was large, with a very comfy bed. Our stay was marred by a bit of bad weather, but it passes quickly in the DR.

TRS Turquesa: Amazing first vacation!

It was beautiful, the staff were amazing (casino being our favourite!), the meals from buffet or reserved were delicious. It was an amazing first experience. We will definitely be back sometime in the near future.

Grand Sirenis Tropical Suites: We enjoyed the beach and pool

It was a nice resort .. Loved the pool and beach . A lot of rude and pushy people made it difficult to enjoy the buffet . The food wasn't very good but the people we travelled with loved it , maybe we were too picky? Our room was musty and had some mold but due to the humidity there it would be expected . The workers treated us with kindness as we them . A word on the vendors they have there , the resort really should get rid of them, very few took no for an answer would not leave us alone even  [... read more]if we walked to the other side of the sidewalk . The shows in the evening were enjoyable ....Would rate it a 6 out of 10

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: Awesome Place, Awesome People

An absolutely awesome resort! The food options, accommodations and staff were the best I've ever experienced! Even all the clouds and rain couldn't overcome my stay at Iberostar! I arrived last minute to surprise my best friend and family of almost 30, and celebrate dad's 90th! Mistakenly, I booked the Punta Cana and the group was at the Dominican. Without hesitation reception staff were willing to get me transferred to the next resort over. It was splendid. Fabulous week of family joy! And  [... read more]I was so lucky to experience it all at such a beautiful and accomodating resort! Slight issue on departure day when my ride to the airport didn't show. Many conversations with the bell boys, then suddenly realized my pick up location was never changed to the Dominican from the Punta Cana....where I checked in! Bell Hop guy quickly made a deal with another driver to get me to the airport as soon as possible. Just on time! The gardeners, cleaning staff of all kinds work hard and do amazing jobs throughout the resort. I definietely want to return with my family

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Great resort!

Everything is excellent services, entertainment, beach, grounds, pools, food, staff but the sand flies and bed bugs were killing us. Too bad because this resort is amazing otherwise. If it weren't for the bugs, I would go there again for sure.

Bahia Principe Grand Samana Roulette: Great Resort

We recently booked the Air Canada Samana Roulette and stayed at the Grand Bahia Principe Cayacoa. We had a excellent experience; the al carte's were top notch and I highly recommend. You only have to visit the booking agent once for all of your reservations (you don't have to show up every morning). The food was excellent and the rooms were amazing. This resort is spotless ... we upgraded to the Jr Suite and our room was really nice and spacious. Because we booked the Roulette our package  [... read more]did not include a safe, which I thought was a little petty considering we did paid to upgrade our room ($28.00 US for the week). The staff are very polite and friendly. Pool is very nice with the exception of two sounds systems being played at the same time, not a big deal. Everything about this resort is amazing with one exception ... the beach is lacking. The beach bar and lunch deck is very good and there are enough beach chairs available throughout the day, the downfall is the actual beach. It is not the resort's fault, but we had some rain and there was some garbage washing up from town. Overall I would come back to this resort again and I highly recommend.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Good Value

I read all the reports and went with the average report before i booked.It was defiantly a 4 star hotel, I am an avid traveler and have been to Dominican Republic 5 times alone. The beach is a 4. - food 3.5. - room 3.5. - grounds and lobby etc 4. I only paid $750 Canadian, approx $ 600 US, so really how can you ever complain. If you want Value this is a solid resort. If you want all the bells and whistles go else where.

Grand Sirenis Tropical Suites: Great Time!!

There were 5 of us there to celebrate a 35th Wedding Anniversary. We had a great time. The rooms, food & service was good. We didn't have any issues. They didn't do anything special for the Anniversary even though they knew that's why we were there. The only suggestion I would make is to ask the vendors on the walkway NOT to persist to get you to see their stuff. Asking to view it is one thing but to say you promised, you would stop and actually bother you is another. I'm not saying don't  [... read more]have them there, just not to make people feel bad if they don't stop. I found a lot of the guests did not speak english which was disappointing as we like to chat with people. There were a lot of Russians and a few people from Germany, Spain and Argentina and of course some Canadians who spoke english. The shows were very good. We tried the water park which was fun for all 5 of us adults!! We enjoyed the casino and donated our $20 each per night. Nothing outstanding but nothing went wrong!! So all and all - we had a GREAT time!!

Occidental Punta Cana: Resort Awesome, Transat Service Horrible

The resort and staff were wonderful. The staff were very friendly as always! Franklin at the beach bar is amazing! The grounds are kept very clean. The food was great! The staff really make an effort to ensure families are treated well! The beach was beautiful and it looks like they are renovating the buildings close to the beach which should be lovely!

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Spectacular Resort

This resort is absolutely amazing! Without a second thought, I rate it to be a 5 Star Plus..The grounds are immaculate, the rooms are large, very clean and with housekeeping twice daily. The restaurants have plenty of variety and theme night daily. You will never go hungry from lack of food.Our beach was simply gorgeous, little to no seaweed and plenty of shaded areas for everyone. I must tip my hat for the staff at this resort.They go up and above of any other resort we have ever stayed at, and [... read more] we have been travelling for over 22 years. Also smiling and making you feel right at home. I couldn't say enough wonderful things about our week at the Luxury Bahia Principe Esmeralda, other than, I and our traveling friends will diffidently go back.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Amazing Resort

The hotel is beautiful, the beach has a lot of sandflies. The rooms were very clean and decorated. The staff were very friendly especially the animation team, the buffet and the front office reception staff. We being vegetarian were treated like kings and queens, being served on the table by the head chef. The animation team members, Angel, Daniel, Yubili were very friendly and entertainment was amazing. The front reception staff, Adeline and Michael were very helpful and this being our 5t [... read more]h trip to the resort upgraded our room. Thanks to all!!

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Beautiful and Tropical Resort

This resort is truly very tropical looking. We found everything about the resort wonderful, from the staff to the food, grounds, beach and pool. It is a very large resort, but they had small train trollies to move around resort and lots of staff with golf carts that would stop and take you where you wanted to go.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Definitely one to recommend.

The Bahia Príncipe Bavaro complex was a large resort with awesome grounds and services. The bartenders, front desk staff, restaurant workers and grounds keepers were some of the friendliest staff I've encountered in the six Caribbean trips I've taken. The entire facility was kept immaculately clean. There was plenty of restaurants and variety in food choices. The al a carte restaurants were beautifully decorated and the food was excellent. The only thing I felt the resort was lacking was there  [... read more]weren't any water sports available on the resorts beach. Overall we had a great experience at this resort.

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Over the top

I have never written a review but this resort is amazing, in every way. The rooms were so clean, I'm very picky but everything was super clean. Room service 24/7, order anything any time of the day and it will be warm and fresh. They don't expect tips and are super generous and kind to the guests. Dining was excellent, make reservations the day you land. Gomez the butler was spectacular, took us to the little village to get some souvenirs. Beach was clean, it was a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. [... read more] Not many young people, more older couples. Would definitely recommend going!

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Exceeded expectations

This report was very convenient, all amenities were nice and close. The pool was very clean as well as the beach. Food was good we found something everyday. We travelled in May with 6 adults and 2 toddlers, all the staff were very helpful with the kids. The rooms could definatly use updating but they were always clean.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Excellent!!!

Hotel was clean, staff friendly and all our needs were taken care of immediately upon request! The beach was near the top of my list for beaches that I have been to. White sand, turquoise water and very very clean!

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Nice Resort

Resort was nice and clean. Food was pretty good. Entertainment staff were the best part of the trip. There were activities to participate in constantly. Beach and pool were very nice and where we spent all of our time.

Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort: Fun times

I really have no complaints other than the washrooms could have been bigger. The food was good. The staff was polite. One thing I would change is to have entertainment during the day as well and everyone should have access to equal property

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Great resort

This resort was a great place to stay the staff where friendly and curtious to us and the activities staff made it fun to be by the pool every day the grounds where clean the resturants and wait staff made it a very pleasant dining expierance the only thing I found not to my liking was the temprture of the food on the buffet
