Dreams La Romana: Very good, but room for Improvement.

Dreams La Romana a lovely resort with plantation-style character, beautiful pools and a gorgeous beach with calm water that was wonderful for swimming, lounging and relaxing. Out from shore there was sufficient winds for good catamaran sailing. Our accommodations were comfortable, although we could hear the next room through the unused shared doors. The staff were friendly and helpful. However, certain staff were always in sales-mode trying to get you to buy services or future vacations at Amre [... read more]sorts properties. They were so persistent that after a while you just had to ignore them when they called to get your attention. We really liked not having to reserve for dinner. All resorts should do this. Food was typical all-inclusive with some great dishes, mostly average and some mediocre. The breakfast and lunch buffets were consistently good. Deserts were not so good – lots of spongy, gooey, sugary manufactured stuff. The puddings and ice cream were better. The house white and red wines were poor, the rosé better. They did have a decent wine list of Spanish and Italian wines for additional cost. They also have an excellent coffee shop. Overall a very good experience but definite room for improvement.

Grand Palladium Palace: GOOD RESORT BUT..

Grounds and pool areas are great. Food was average. Rooms were OK but the newer renovated rooms have poorly designed bathtubs that leak into the bedroom. No adjoining rooms anywhere, which we had requested. Their idea of an adjoining room is two rooms next to each other but none connect directly. Three of four of us were sick at the end of the trip even though we never touched the local water.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Best Punta Cana vacation yet!

This was my third stay in Punta Cana and I have to say I have never been happier. Staying at the Grand Bahia Principe Esmeralda was an extreme pleasure. The grounds were immaculate, the food was fantastic and the service was incomparable to any of the other resorts I had stayed in in Dominican, along with Cancun and Cuba. This is by far my favourite resort and I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get away to Punta Cana. Not only did I think so, but I met a number of people who  [... read more]said this was there 6th-7th time returning to the same resort because they loved it so much.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Best Time!

My boyfriend and I went to this resort over March break (March 14-21). The food was really good, although was not as hot as it could have been. We had no trouble finding something different to eat every day and ate at 4 of the 5 a la cartes. The buffet dinner on Friday was amazing. We ate until we were stuffed. The beach was nice and the staff work very hard to maintain the grounds/beach. The resort is located on a cove so you can only walk so far but that wasn't an issue with us. We rented non [... read more] motorized equipment from the activities centre more than once. We didn't go swimming in the ocean (we preferred the pool) but saw many people swimming. Our room was huge, the bed was comfortable and they switched our pillows to our liking. On the last night, the room was decorated for a birthday celebration by our butler Freddy. All the staff are very friendly and hard working around the clock. I especially loved the happy faces of the girls opening the doors/seating us in the morning at the breakfast buffet. We would definitely recommend this resort to our family and friends!

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Great Resort for the Price

We stayed at Casa Marina for 7 days from the 13-20 March 2016. The hotel staff received us well at the reception and we were all given an complimentary cocktail. We were a bit sketched out by the rooms initially, as they are pretty outdated, however, they were very clean and the maids came in everyday to replace the bed sheets and the towels. The quality of the food was a pleasant surprise. We initially feared that the food quality would be questionable, but it ended up being of high quality and [... read more] really tasty. The 3 a la carte restaurants were also very good. The Mexican restaurant was arguably the best, followed by the seafood restaurant, and the italian restaurant (do not order the pizza it's not that great, but order anything else chichen lasagna was good). The night club entertainment could be better. Other than the Mr and Miss Casa Marina Night (Monday), the remainder of the nights were pretty uneventful and there were barely any people at the resort calipso nightclub. The evening shows were pretty good every night though and I definitely recommend going to them before going out clubbing. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful for the most part. The hotel beach and pools are of high quality.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: This resort was amazing!

My friend and I just came back from this resort. We spent a week at this resort and we absolutely loved it. The staff we’re great and provided us with wonderful service. Lots of fun activities by the pool and the beach is great. Food was very good as well. Only downside is the walking. This resort is huge so you often have to walk a little bit to get from one place to the next. Overall it was wonderful. Would definitely return to this resort!

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Good overall experience

Overall, we had a good experience. Our group was a total of 21, parents and teenagers. The grounds are lovely and well maintained. The food was above average. The staff were very friendly and engaging. The rooms are in need of upgrading, especially the bathrooms. In my opinion, this hotel rates 4 stars.

TRS Turquesa: fabulous resort

Excellent resort, great location, well maintained. Staff was professional, friendly, willing to help and provided excellent service. Beach was fabulous and was kept clean. Lots of shade for the hot sunny days.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Medeioker

Poor service at restaurants and bar service even with tipping. We booked restaurants 2 weeks before arrival from recommendations from an on line review and not our travel agent. There weren't any reservations available upon arrival. $1000us resort credit totally misleading, it is a coupon for 10% or 25% off some services and shops. Free golf is also rediculous. $70US per person for mandatory cart. We took 4 sets of golf clubs with us and just the two adults did one round. It would have cost us $ [... read more]400 cancaian for our family to do a free round of golf. A lot of activities for the kids were not included and cost extra, bowling, water park. Front desk at checkin did not give us any info on resort activities, water, ect and the AT rep did not do this in his orientation, we were there a couple of days before finding the activities center. There 24 hours before we were told the tap water wasn't safe. No menus for specialty drinks at bars and the wine is absolute trash! White wine at one of the bars was actually cloudy and poured from a plastic jug. Even purchasing a bottle at the resturant would have cost $60 can. For a $12 bottle. Have to be at pool before 7 am to get a beach chair. For a trip that cost $10,000!!! I expected more!!!

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Nice resort

The resort was well maintained and clean. The service was adequate. Food was not exceptional but good and many choices. The maid service was marvellous. Any problems or concerns were dealt with immediately. The resort was adult only and was peaceful.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Sick as a dog

Both my husband and I were extremely ill on two different occasions. Food poisoned (did not eat food off resort or drink the water). Put us in the furthest hotel with a 5 month old and had to constantly lug everything back and forth and the elevators were always broken. So we had to both carry he stroller up and down the stairs. Never had clean towels ( they would take the towels and not being new ones ) Costantly harassed to buy stuff on the resort. Couldn't even sit without being bothered ( [... read more]time shares, jewelery, excursions) Tons of drunk teenagers puking and fighting mid day. Not family friendly. Food wasn't good. Ate fries and pizza the entire stay Would not return here.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Relaxing place

loved the location, decor, food, snack bar, drink bars, friendly workers, snorkling excursion, beach, pool. Would like better shows and entertainment at night, wi-fi doesn't work unless you pay for it

Grand Palladium Palace: Great Resort!!

This was my second year in a row at this resort and I really enjoyed it once again...I especially like the fact that you stay at one and play at three...Each lobby has different entertainment every night with a variety of music..The grounds are impeccable, the pools and beach are beautiful with never any lack of beach chairs. A good selection of restaurants with the Japanese being by far the best...My only complaint here would be that you cannot reserve in advance...The buffets had a good select [... read more]ion however I don't believe they have enough staff to cover the amount of tables. Not arriving as soon as the buffet opened, we rarely walked in and found a clean table that was cleanly set with cutlery and napkins...Disco and sports bar are very enjoyable and the service was excellent...I would recommend this resort and not hesitate to go back..

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Huge Resort

Pros. -Great food selection -Lots of Gluten free / Celiac choices -Friendly staff -Royal golden section conciger changed my room within 5 minute when I had an issue with my room (water flooded from a toilet) Cons -Gym could use some work (but who cares about working out on vacation?!) -Too many sales people on beach trying to sell junk (not a huge deal it is to be expected) -Some bars ran out of certain types of liquor randomly

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Punta Cana: The Hard Rock Punta Cana Rocks!!!

The best family trip we ever had. The resort caters to all age groups, especially young teens!!! Excellent service, clean and safe! The nightly entertainment was great, there was always something to do! We loved it!

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: amazing resort

The grounds are beautiful and well kept.The pool and and beach areas are kept very clean.The food was well presented and always a huge assortment.The staff was pleasant and always tried to please.Had a great time.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Amazing vacation

Great getaway. We had a fantastic time in the sun and pool. The food was wonderful and the staff was as well. The hotel was about an hour away from the airport and it was a bit of a long trek to the hotel.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Perfect Winter Getaway!

The Luxury Bahia Principe Esmeralda was the perfect resort to go relax and be catered too. We had a great time. The rooms we had were just as we had requested, clean and comfortable. The resort was manicured beautifully and the staff were second to none. The food was plentiful and without exception better than expected, and I had high expectations......the one drawback on the food was in a lot of cases the desert choice or options were limited and seemed kind of lazy by comparison to the rest of [... read more] the food selections, could finish off meals on a much higher note. I would definitely recommend this resort and plan on a future visit!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Everything about this resort is 1st class

Buildings, grounds, food and the staff are superb. Our room was very central to the beach and restaurants. Buffet breakfast and dinner at the Ambar 2 were well prepared and the variety was fantastic. We love the beach and the long walks that you could take.
