Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Fantastic resort

Rooms and grounds were very clean and well kept. I feel some staff could have been a little more friendly but all in all they were pleasant.food was great, a large variety. When I booked this resort I thought that the bavaro was an individual resort. Didn't realize that it had many sister resorts attached which makes this a very large resort.i was hoping for something a little smaller.

Occidental Caribe: Great resort

I loved the resort... Lots for everyone to do...casino, beach that goes for miles, parasailing, trapeze, rock climbing, pool.. Great food... People were very friendly...maids did a great job in the room and always added extra coffee and tools for us to use

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Consistantly good location, excellent vacation,

We have stayed at this resort three times and have never been dissapointed. The staff are courteous and friendly. Activities are fun. Entertainement is excellent. The beach is nice. Food is fine, and speciality restaurants are excellent. Bar services are top tier. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. The rooms are fine, and kept very clean. On the down side is a sketchy internet, and poor currency exchange- they frequently cannot change US or Canadian bills at the front desk. We requested a  [... read more]upper floor room months in advance, but a ground floor room was all we could seem to get when complained (a minor dissapointment), though it did have a king sized bed and ocean view. No problem getting a chair at the beach, (but staff assistance to move them seems to have declined from previous years). Pool side chairs are difficult to obtain, as guests seem to hoard them early (an annoying change from earlier years).

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Luxury Grande Bahia Prinicpe Ambar

Beautiful resort, but huge. This was our second time to this property, although last year we stayed at the Esmeralda. Buffet food was excellent, a la carte restaurants were a bit of a joke - poor service or poor quantity of food. Long trek to the beach, although we prefer the pool and therefore asked for a building close to the pool - bldg 80 - Great. Would highly recommend this 5 star resort.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Nice Resort

Ground , Services,very clean, but buffet food taste the same.This is are secound time there and the food is not good like the first time.Beach is nice but you have to be up at 6:00 am if you want a nice place at the beach.

Occidental Caribe: great value for the dollar

The beach is fantastic, soft sand clear water very little seaweed. The resort is kept clean, food was hit and miss until you find the good locations to eat. The premium alcohol is sometimes kept out of sight but just ask and you will receive. This is an excellent resort I would definitely return.

TRS Turquesa: Fabulous place for a second honeymoon!

We wanted a good, quiet resort and they produced in spades: beautiful room, beach, pool and grounds. Easy access to the rest of the Palladium Resort complex, and a short walk to open air lunch buffet. Staff were friendly and attentive. Meals delicious, and Bavaro Beach did not disappoint: miles of white sandy walking, and a turquoise ocean to cool off in. Totally love the place!

Occidental Caribe: Loved this resort!

Cleanest beach on the strip. Multiple dining options for restaurants and buffets at every meal. Friendly/helful staff, I don't think I passed someone that didn't say hello. Consistent room service. I had a great time.

Blau Natura Park Resort: NICE SPOT

MINUTES FROM AIRPORT,NICE SPOT TILL YOU GET TO YOUR ROOM, BOOKED FOR THREE BUT ONLY HAD TWO SINGLE BEDS, PLUS CHESTERFIELD,NO PERSON ON DESK OR PHONE TO SPEAK ENGLISH,NO ATEMPT TO MAKE US MORE COMFORTABLE,SAID THIRD PERSON SLEEP ON CHESTERFIELD, NICE HOLIDAY HUSBAND SLEEPED ON CHESTERFIELD,NEEDS TO BE UPDATED OR THINGS FIXED, THEN IT MAYBE A BETTER PLACE TO STAY

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: relaxed vacation

Standard rooms are typical, suits are very nice( upgrade worth the extra) Overall the hotel and grounds are kept very clean( always staff cleaning) Food good variety and tasty at buffet. Brazil restaurant is a must...excellent

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Disappointing

Dining area was excellent, service was also very good. Rooms are poor, beds caused constant back pain, air conditioning didn't work well and nights were too hot to sleep, the bathrooms are not even close to a 4.5 star hotel. Much too small and both my husband and I suffered injuries to our feet as the bathroom door opens into the toilet. Staff are very pleasant but communication was mostly impossible, I developed diarrhea 3 days of 7 after eating in main dining area. The biggest disappointment t [... read more]o us was the poor snorkeling due to rough and murky water and the locals soliciting on the beach. We were unable to walk the beach in peace as we were harassessed constantly by people trying to sell us something.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Great resort

Overall our stay was great. A bit of background: My only other comparison is 3 trips to cuba, my fiancé and I stayed April 4-11; ages 26/27. We are not picky eaters nor would I consider us high maintenance. I travel a lot in the US for work so I have my fair share of hotel stays under my belt. The food was great; always something to eat. Fresh omelette in the morning, carving station at lunch etc. The beach bar was my preferred place to eat every day. When we arrived we had already checked in,  [... read more]I highly recommend booking with Air Canada, you get a lot of perks. The first thing: the bed is like sleeping on concrete. My finace has broken his back twice and I have rheumatoid arthritis and when we got home we were both in agony. The bathroom door wouldn't close and the AC didn't work.. and when I went to call downstairs... the phone didn't work either. I have never complained and had my room switched but I figured 3rd times a charm and get a new room. We moved the next day .. had to move our own stuff which I was surprised but no big deal. The pool is beautiful, beach is beautiful. I got eaten alive on the Safari tour.. by the way.. unless you like going to places to have locals sell stuff... don't waste the $75 USD. The bars in the main hotel close at 11 so unless you are going to walk out to the disco (located in the entrance of the resort) you're having an early night. The drive is also 1.5 hours from the hotel but that's not a fault of the hotel Overall I enjoyed my vacation (I paid under $900).

Excellence Punta Cana: Lives up to its name!

We stayed at this resort for 7 days and each day, we loved it even more. From the beautiful beach, great restaurants, superb entertainment and excellent service all around makes it difficult to rate this any less than excellent. Probably the best resort experience we have had yet!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Best vacation in twenty years.

This all inclusive vacation was perfection. The rooms, staff, beach, pool and the food was outstanding. I have never been treated so well. I find myself looking back at the resort after returning wishing I was still there. Thank you for making me feel like I was truly on vacation.

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Good not great

Beaches are beautiful however rooms are the worst I've seen they need some updates and work done to them. Overall the resort is not that bad. Food was very repetitive so you get really sick of it fast.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Very nice

Overall a very nice hotel. The beach was very windy So we stayed at the pool the majority of the time. Service was very good and the animation team was always trying to keep you emtertained and engaged.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Great bang for your buck!!

The grounds were great; not too big so everything was easily accessible. Fantastic and friendly staff, the entertainment crew were particular fun to hang around with. The nightly entertainment was hit and miss some night but all in all I was entertained! They offered a good variety of food and I didn't feel the need to book an alacarte. However the house wines were poor quality so we purchase some lovely and affordable bottles on occasion. The beachfront was lovely and there were always plenty o [... read more]f chairs available regardless of the time of day. Dollar for value, I would go back!

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Better than I ever imagined!

The adult-only Chic, Punta Cana was the perfect combination of luxury accommodations, extraordinary dining options, delightful and charming staff, and wonderful entertainment. The beach was beautiful, although the waters were a tad rough at times. I can't wait to return to the Dominican Republic, and I won't consider any other resorts.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Beautiful Resort can't wait to go back!

We received excellent service from the minute we stepped off the bus from the airport until we departed 7 days later. We initially reserved for Majestic Colonial but were upgraded to Majestic Elegance with a swim up room. We had never been to this resort before so really not sure what the difference between the two are. Loved the beach and never had a problem getting chairs or shade. We were usually at the beach most of the day and would come back to the pool later afternoon. Pool and lounge are [... read more]as are kept clean. It is annoying to see people put their towels on lounge chairs early in the morning to "reserve" them but do not actually use the chairs until mid afternoon. Several times throughout our stay a fruit platter or dessert tray or a bottle of wine were left in our room with a note wishing us well while we stayed at their resort. We received a call from the management team part way through our vacation to make sure everything was okay with our stay. I am a picky eater so will pass on commenting on the food except to say I always found something that I liked to eat. If you are planning on going to the Japanese restaurant make your reservation upon arrival we were not able to get a reservation. One evening the buffet was set up on the beach with entertainment what a beautiful experience. Overall we loved the Majestic Elegance and will definitely be back next year!!

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Fantastic resort!

Just came back from a wonderful one week stay with my husband and two kids (7,9). This is our second time at this resort and it was just as good, if not better, then our first visit. The food is unbelievable! So many options both at the buffets and the ala cart restaurants. We made reservations for the restaurants via email before we arrived and I highly recommend this! The resort and grounds are very clean and beautiful. The beach is gorgeous and well kept. They have hand sanitizer at the entra [... read more]nce to every buffet/restaurant to keep germs at bay. The Esmeralda has an exclusive, smaller feel which we liked but we ventured to the bigger parts of Baha'i Príncipe a couple of nights (the Michael Jackson show is fantastic- the best impersonator I've ever seen!). This resort if gorgeous, the food is amazing, the pools and grounds are clean and beautiful. Pick this resort! You won't be disappointed!
