Grand Palladium Palace: Beautiful resort

The food was 5 star rooms are roomy &great, beach was excelllent. The staff was beyond excellent, friendly and cheerful. The grounds were well kept and beautiful. The restaurants are plentiful and excellent.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Not for MOBILITY impaired

If you have Mobility problems this is not the resort for you. When you arrive at Lobby you have to go down stairs to get to bar area and pools. Then more stairs to go down to buffet then more stairs to get to room. They also have pathways that all have an incline. Food Ok no problems and lots of choices. Lots of lounge chairs around pools and close to a bar. Beach VERY weedy and not very suitable to go in. Toilets are a big problem as most do not flush away waste. Had to keep calling for a plumb [... read more]er to clear toilets. Remember you are on Dominican time when you are there and pace is very slow. Rooms comfortable but very old furniture.

Occidental Punta Cana: good

The beach is beautiful.The grounds and beach area were clean,The food was mediocore,The room was nice We really enjoyed the bed., it was fantastic,Service could of been a little better.Overall the fantastic weather and beautiful beach made up for any inconviences,

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Fabulous hotel!

This is a great vacation resort. The resort is kept impeccably clean by a great friendly staff. The food and the drinks were great. The pool is beautiful and the beach is simply amazing. We upgraded to the colonial club which we really enjoyed. Just book or, you won't regret it!

IFA Bavaro Village: Not the best resort in the area

Staff were not overly friendly..front desk was not a welcoming group for sure. Too many sales people on the actual resort....rooms were fine. The all night pizza spot was right outside our room so that was loud at times. If you go to this resort you may want to be, if possible, selective of your room as the layout of the resort has entertainment areas very close to the rooms.

Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus-Cruise: Amazing resort

Very clean the grounds very well kept,and the staff is very friendly and helpful the gang in the bar are very pleasant Madeleine lido Brenda Raymona ,Raoul Alberto ,the gang in the dining room Nelson yanet Johnny and Roberto ,in the steak house Ingil jhonnie and Nelson the trainer is number one

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Very enjoyable time

We stayed for one week, food was varied and very good as were the pools and beach. The only drawback was there was Free WIFI for 60 minutes a day.. but you could only use it in one session.. awkward.. there was also expensive WIFI available.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Beautiful disappointment

Short and sweet.....beautiful stunning resort...awesome variety of pools and food....but we both got food poisoning as did many others we spoke too. I would still recommend this place...just do not eat the meat or make sure it is FULLY cooked (the food was delicious!) Staff was super helpful and nice as well.

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: great time!

The hotel itself is a little outdated, but other than that the Riu Bachata had great entertainment every night, the staff are very friendly and helpful.The food was good! We would recommend this hotel to others.

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: There are lots of resorts out there better

We arrived on a Friday morning and check in was uneventful. Our rooms were #535 and 534 in the A building and they were older rooms but clean. We paid for a superior ocean view room and did get a room with both a pool and an ocean view which was nice. We did have a fridge in our room which we were pleased with as we brought yogurt up to have as a snack from the breakfast buffet. There was a bottle of vodka and a bottle of rum brought up to our room the first day which was very nice but after the [... read more] first day we didn't receive reloaded beverages in our fridge such as water or pop. The water bottles we refilled ourselves at the buffet everyday. Our air conditioning did not work on the first day and it took 3 visits from a hotel staff and 3 days to get it working again. Also we could smell cigarette smoke coming through our vents from who knows where which was very irritating since we cant stand the smell of smokers smoke. The buffet was mediocre at best. At meal time we rarely had a server come to ask us what we wanted for drinks. They only showed up to take our plates at the end but seldom spoke a word to us. We went to reserve the a la carte restaurants early on Saturday morning which was day 2 of our week and were told that there was only room on Thursday for any reservations, so we reserved at the Italian. It was ok but we really noticed that they seem to pawn off a lot of tomato soup type sauce off as tomato sauce. Anyway the biggest problem I found at this resort was the staff 9with the occasional exception) is not friendly compared to anywhere in Cuba. They also speak very limited english. They all seem much more interested in each other (staff members) than in the tourists. Many times while taking our order or answering any questions they were busy smiling or motioning to each other which is very rude and wont get you much of a tip. Weve been to Cuba the last 12 years and thought we would try Dominican Republic for a change but we are set to go back to Cuba now. It also didn;t help that the first 4 days of our week were cloudy and rainy. The beach we were warned of being not for poor swimmers was very wavy. It was red flag from day one until day 5. I found the grounds, though pretty, was very compressed. Maybe that's because it is right in the centre of town. Oh and also there was no internet all week. It was broken. So we went to the ice cream place down the road to use the internet. We paid 1045 each for it and we felt we paid a bit too much. I would have liked to pay about 800 all in for a place such as this.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Beautiful resort.

The Iberostar was a wonderful place to spend two weeks. The grounds were outstanding, clean and very picturesque. The pool was so huge that it never felt crowded. The variety of food was unending and very good. The entertainment staff added a variety of activities making it fun for everyone.

Punta Cana Princess: Outstanding

This resort was quiet and the service was excellent. The grounds were beautiful. The four restaurants were all good, and no reservations required made it even easier to enjoy the selection each evening. Even the buffet was top-notch! There was smoking allowed in more areas than I have usually experienced, but only in the open areas so it was not overpowering. The staff were friendly and efficient, and there was a lot of entertainment provided which you could take or leave. My only criticism: the [... read more] rooms were nice but small and not much privacy in the bathroom area.

Occidental Punta Cana: Wonderful Resort

Had an amazing time, the beach was beautiful, staff very friendly, night entertainment was great, they could of had more things during the day, our room was decent the cleaning staff were awesome, the food was good, large variety. (Had an awesome time)

Blau Natura Park Resort: Live exotic birds!

We stayed there for five days from March 5-9th. When we first checked in there was a mix up with our room but the staff member that assisted us was efficient and very helpful. However, the first room we were shown was spacious, updated and had a flat screen TV. The room we ended up getting was old, with dated furniture and an old school box TV in which we never received a remote for so we had to keep getting up to change the channel. Since we were tired and hot, plus were only staying for a few  [... read more]days, we decided to make do with the room. Also, we were supposed to leave been provided with beach towels in our room but never received any. We had to go back and forth between the towel hut and front desk due to an obvious lack of communication between the two. In addition, there are too many locals on the resort trying to hackel you into going on an excursion. I've never been to a resort before where you're being harassed by at least 3 people on your way to your room! This was the biggedt annoyance for me. Keep three trusted excursion companies and/or reps seated in the lobby. The last thing your guests want is to be consistently harassed to and/or from their rooms and especially from people whom you can't distinguish whether or not are trusted or just a local trying to make a buck. The food is okay...look at for some under cooked food but that could happen anywhere. My last day I got food poisoning even though I was mindful of what I ate. The only saving grace was the beautiful peacocks and pink flamingos that seem to live on the grounds. Absolutely beautiful creatures! And gives the resort that added exotic feel. There's nothing like coming out of your room and having these exotic birds right in your backyard! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I would only suggest that seeing as most tourists that frequent the resort speak English, that the staff be versed in it as well. Trying to communicate with house keeping about getting more towels was a mission! Not every experience about this hotel was a bad one. I would recommend it, I would just want potential guests to be aware of my experience. Would I return?? No. Simply because there are some amazing hotels in Punta Cana that I'd like to try out next.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Right place to go!

Super clean, food great, employees exceptional! This is my second time and will definitely go back next year! I am recommending this to everyone! Shows are exceptional! I think that the workers should be appreciated and given tips to make them proud!

Grand Bavaro Princess: Nice resort

The resort was beautiful and well taken care of. Beautiful beach and the staff clean any seaweed that washes up. The grounds were amazing and the landscape crew work hard! Majority of staff are very nice but limited on speaking English, Platinum staff speak English and was a joy to laugh with them daily, hats off to them they were great (look for Jonathan, Juan and Anna at Platinum lounge, Burgos platinum beach and Evelyn at the main Buffet restaurant). I've only given the resort 3 stars because [... read more] the food was hit and miss (definitely not 5 star quality) and the staff you come in contact with at the restaurants speaks very little English if at all. Made for difficulties when inquiring about the meals.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: A Wonderful Return Trip

Anybody who is not happy here has problems. Lovely grounds, good food, friendly staff, adequate rooms and a pool that swimmers could die for. Fabulous beach for walking. Can be very windy at times but waves are great to watch and play in.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Wonderful place

We absolutely loved Grand Bahia in Samana! Everything was great: room, food, service, grounds. The beach is beautiful. There is nothing to complain about, we had an amazing time and can't wait to go back.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Amazing resort! Top notch!

Our recent stay at the GBPB was incredible. I would go back to this resort specifically, in a minute. Everything was perfect from the service, room (spacious, clean), food was great (I'm vegan and I had lots of options!), the beach (breath taking!), etc. I really have nothing bad to say. Just make sure to book your a la carte restaurants soon as you check in (or you may be eating dinner very late - which may not be an issue),

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Complete

Our honeymoon at the Ambar was great! The staff left no request unanswered. Adults only beach/pool was welcome since our own kids have long moved on. Getting a la carte reservations was a little tough, but the buffet was great on it's own! We plan to consider Grand Bahai as our future brand for resorts.
