Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Wonderful place to chill!!

Had a gloriously relaxing time at the Barcelo Bavaro Princess Deluxe. The pools were large. Lots of chairs with sun or shade around the pool and tons at the beach. People reserved but there were also chairs that could be found and moved. The beach was amazing. You could walk for miles. The water was blue and calm. Food was great. We reserved at the restaurants online and there were no problems. Rib eye steak was delicious at the steakhouse. Loved the guacamole and salsa at the Mexican restaurant [... read more]. We always found delicious food at the buffet. Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. Service was slow but it didn't bother us because we were on vacation!!! We had a very relaxing chill time and would definitely go back.

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: Overall great experience

Grounds were very well kept and all staff were courteous and friendly and very concerned with our enjoyment.Rooms were very clean even in the Punta Cana hotel, however we upgraded to the 'grand' and the difference was like night and day.Top notch room and washroom,very new!!Adults only, no kids under 18.valet and room service 24/7. What an absolute treat!!Even with all this good stuff, I found the buffet food to be sub-par.We tried the buffet at the Punta-Cana, the Dominica then the Grand and al [... read more]l were ok but by no means great.I was very disappointed at the Grand especially at the higher priced suites and the food being mediocre to OK at best.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Amazing resort!

Very nice resort, clean, attentive staff. One issue with the safe in the room but was resolved fast. Lots of activities, shows every night. Easily accessible for multiple excursions. Quiet rooms, especially if further from the reception area.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville

the landscaping is beautiful, the service was excellent whenever we sat at the bar area we were served drinks in very little time The beach was nice as we always had chairs available and didn't need to save a spot and also we has shade and sun as the beautiful palm trees and cabana's we plentiful. Our butler Miguel was very good. He would make sure everything was ok and was very helpful.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Felt like home!

My husband & myself felt at home at this resort. Very clean and the food was excellent! Only down fall was in the main lobby we kept getting approached to buy a Bahia time share. Lots of activities. Beach was nice & kept clean. Staff was very helpful and attentive. Cant wait to go back!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Don't go!!!!

The food on the buffet was the same daily, and never the correct temperature. The majority of the front line staff didn't speak English or even attempt to. The resort is very large and the service is poor possibly because of the size. Beware the sand fleas. The rooms are lovely but the mattress is hard as a rock.

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Management needs work

Visited this resort a couple years ago and it was amazing. Recommended it to friends and 8 of us went down. so disappointed. Took them 4 days to fix our air conditioning, toilet kept clogging and our key would not work in our door. Servers, bartenders, maid and entertainment staff are what saved our trip.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Great time!

We enjoyed our stay at Grand bahia principe golden royal! Rooms were very well kept,resort ground kept beautifully. Service was fabulous from all of the staff. Food was not bad. Never felt that any meals we hot. Not even at the a la cartes. In general an amazing large resort!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Great resort, great food and staff

Gardens were beautiful,rooms comfortable, pool warm and good shade next to the beach. Swim up bar was great, animation team was very energetic, musical entertainment at night was superb. Buffet food was good as were the speciality restaurants.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Awesome experience - resort is beautiful :)

The grounds of this resort are very well maintained and kept fresh by the many, many staff. Rooms are spacious and neat. One downfall, if you use facial cloths, take your own. You will only find towels in the bathroom. The food at the a la carte venues is fantastic. The buffet food provides for a wide variety of tastes. Atmosphere is comfortable. Excursions are very easy to book and pay for with pick up and drop off right in the lobby. A fabulous experience!!!

Vista Sol Punta Cana: Vista Sol Punta Cana was a great resort

No idea why people put negative reviews for this resort. We have stayed at a number of Punta Cana resorts since 2004 and the Vista Sol is just a good if not better than most. Yes the food can be repetitive, but booking the Al-a carts helps break up the food monotony. We upgraded to the Superior Room and it was very modern with all amenities working. The staff were very friendly and most could speak some English. Overall the Vista Sol is a great 4 star resort for couples, families and groups.

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Never Again

Rooms dirty. Roof units for AC turned off each night at 7:00. I am an HVAC tech and know this for a fact. Red wine was undrinkable. Waiting staff inattentive. Stayed for 3 days in this hole and then moved to Puerto Plata Hotel Gran Ventana. While checking out Casa Marina front staff tried to claim there was a large phone charge for the room and demanded money.When confronted with our cellphones they promptly backed down. Our cousins room had cockroaches in the sink and a permanently faulty toile [... read more]t. It became so bad that I was willing to forfeit the 2 week vacation and return home rather then spend another miserable night. Fortunately Air Canada representative upgraded us to the Gran Ventana Hotel in Puerto Plata for a reasonable fee.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Awesome Resort

Out of all the resorts we have been at , which is quite a few , this resort is by far at the top of our list.The people working there were very friendly and helpful. The food was very good. The rooms were huge and quite comfy. All in all if some one asked us if we would go again it would be a definitely YES.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Over rated

I struggled to rate this place mainly due to how nice the people were. If not for them I would have rated it lower. The food was just OK, the grounds were clean and nicely decorated. The animation people tried as hard as they could as did the waiters and bartenders. We did not see a shortage of loungers at the pool or the beach. We were given room 5211, which surprisingly was a 3rd floor room. We paid extra money for an oceanfront room which turned out to be a total waste of $300. We could only  [... read more]see a sliver of ocean between a forest of palm trees. The room was small, dark and not very nicely decorated. This was our 13th different resort in the carribean and Mexico and for the money I would rate this one in the bottom half. If this is what most Iberostars are like then I would prefer the Riu chain. We have stayed at 5 of them and were never disappointed.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Great Holiday

My husband and I just came back from a wonderful one week vacation at this resort. It is a huge resort, which is quite spread out, but there is a trolley car that comes around every few minutes so its not really a problem. The grounds are clean and very well kept, same as the beach. The ocean and was warm and the pools were very clean and warm as well. The food choices are excellent, there is something for everyone, including vegetarian and sugar-free options. Our room was clean and comfortable, [... read more] although if I went again I would ask for a room off the main roadway as it was a little noisy at times. We rented Seqways and went on a guided tour of the resort and it was awesome. A great way to see the whole resort and such fun! There is lots to do, lots of activities throughout the day, including a Casino and mini putt, and lots of shopping on site.

Occidental Caribe: Its was ok food not good employees not freindly

Food not the best, long wait at beach bar (15 min), staff not very friendly, had to ask for beverage in buffet, was told could only book resteraunts daily and find out from other travellers they booked in advance. Wont go back or suggest to anyone

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Great beach, food, and shows!

This was our first all inclusive. Beach was the best I've seen, but there could have been more chairs. Buffet and restaurants were great. Shows were an unexpected bonus with a different one every night. Room had some issues that required repair, but the resort was quick to fix them. Construction of adjacent resort from balcony was a nuisance, but we spent most of the day away from the room. I would definitely consider visiting in the future or trying another Bahia Principe resort.

Occidental Caribe: Amazing resort

Everything about this resort is incredible. Great staff, the beach was impeccable, the rooms are beautiful, the grounds are imaculate.. there is really nothing to complain about when staying at the Barcelo Punta Cana!

Coral Costa Caribe: Beach is Beautiful, but the rooms are very run dow

Just got back from Coral Costa Caribe. What can I say. Had a good time, but certainly not because of this Resort. The best thing about this resort is the beach. Absolutely beautiful! The pool is small, but average. The people at this resort do not speak much English. We would ask for one thing and they would ask us if we were asking for something totally different. We would ask for a drink at the bar which is listed on their board and they had no idea what we were talking about. If it's on your  [... read more]board then you should know what your serving. We go away 3 times a year and we have never come back from a resort and had such negative feedback. Little things don't bother us, but there are just too many things wrong with this resort. The first night we got there we had 2 rooms and both rooms had dirty stained sheets on all 4 beds. Not acceptable. One room had 3 lights that didn't work as well as a toilet that wouldn't flush. They have no water pressure there so it is a big problem. We went to Customer Service and told them about the sheets and that we were not happy with the rooms. They were old and run down and the mattress were like concrete. We were told they would change the sheets and for us to see our rep the next day which we did. They did come and change the sheets and put clean sheets on and sent a plumber to fix the toilet. The next day we changed rooms. I asked to be put in the rooms that they are displaying on their site. The customer service rep just laughed and said they didn't have rooms like that. The problems with these rooms is that there is no water pressure. I had to take a video to show them the little trickle of water that was coming out of the shower. You actually had to hold your hands underneath to catch the water. This wasn't just in our room. It was in our daughter and my sister-in-law. They said they would send a plumber, but this problem never got fixed. There is just not enough pressure. Half of the time we didn't even know if we would get hot water. Again in these rooms the mattresses were sleeping on concrete. None of the patio doors locked and when we enquired about this we were told to get a safe that none of the patio doors locked. I guess our money would be safe, but I don't know about us. My daughter wanted to go to the gym everyday, but when we checked it out, it was in a dark, dingy basement not safe to be in alone for a teenage girl. The gym was very small with what equipment they had piled together on dirty mats that looked they haven't been cleaned in a very long time. It was not in a very safe location and anything could have happened down there and no one would know. Entertainment is not always the best at these resorts, but we always manage to watch them and enjoy them. Not at this resort. Sadly lacking for entertainment. Food was a whole other issue. Not enough variety of food and the meat was always so tough that you couldn't even eat it. I have never been so disappointed in food at a resort before. Be prepared to be bombarded while you are on the beach with the locals that set up over to the side and every half hour one of them walks by trying to sell something. They just keep switching up people and sending them over. It got to be so annoying. We bought stuff from them, we had massages from them, we bought paintings from them and yet they just kept coming. The only saving grace about this resort is the beach. Unfortunately, not enough for me to ever go back to this resort.
