Riu Merengue: Old and run down

This resort is in dire need of a complete overhaul. Our room was always clean and done so in a timely manner. That being said it was overrun by cockroaches and mosquitos. The furniture was falling apart right in our hands. None of the drawers would work and were falling apart in our hands. The shower head was falling off the wall . There were no toiletries in the room. We couldn't even get a Kleenex. The air conditioner was more like a humidifier than an A/C unit. We have never had such poor qua [... read more]lity food in all our travels to the Caribbean including Cuba. The lowest quality and the same every meal. Smoking is a huge problem for the majority of guest who come from North America as the Europeans smoke everywhere including nonsmoking areas. One day we watched a waiter serve a guest several times in a nonsmoking area and do nothing until we called him over and complained. The beach was riddled with cigarette butts and never cleaned up. The ala Cart restaurants are not bad if you don't mind getting up at 6:30 to line up for a reservation. This is the last timeI will stay at a RIU resort.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Beautiful resort

The grounds of the resort were very well maintained. The gardens were beautiful, the beach was cleared of garbage leaves etc. constantly. The staff were amazing, always wanted to please. The disappointments were the house wine, it was terrible - I can't believe the organization would even consider serving this type of wine at a 4 star resort. The wifi was only available for one hour daily in the lobby, but if you purchaed a $70us card you could have unlimited for the week, and I believe that wou [... read more]ld be from your room. The rooms are large, very musty but it is the island. Great location with a very long beach which leads right into Las Terranas. We were advised not to walk the distance because some of the beach is deserted but we felt safe. Overall is was a great holiday.

Whala Bavaro: Got what we paid for

We traveled to Whala Bavaro Feb 19-26 at a decent price....got what we paid for. The resort is dated but clean. Had a couple of issues but when dicsussed with the front desk staff, were quickly addressed. Had to change rooms the first night as our room basically bordered on the street in front of the motel and was very noisy. Food was good, plentiful and a good variety. Beach was disappointing. Very narrow and people were packed in like sardines. Staff friendly and helpful.

Excellence Punta Cana: Excellence all round

This was our 4th stay at Excellence Punta Cana and well, each time is a joy. It is always windy and large waves and this time was no different. It did calm towards the end of the week and was quite pleasant and hot.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Amazing!!!

The hotel was spotless and the people were amazing. They couldn't do enough for you. The food was excellent as were the drinks. The restaurants were all good as well. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing vacation, I would highly recommend choosing this location. There was plenty of entertainment a short walk away. The beach and the grounds were impeccable. Will definitely go back and will also try other Don Pablo resorts. Top notch! L & J

Dreams La Romana: Amazing Place

Loved the resort. Beatiful grounds, nice rooms and facilities. Excellent personnel. A lots of different options for activities. Excellent restaurants and bars. Free Wi-Fi everywhere at the resort. Good entertainment!

Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort: Great time at Sirenis

Just returned from 10 days. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Advised they are starting to close parts within the month and doing a major renovation. Eventually will become a Grand Sirenis similar to the Grand Sirenis in Mayan Riviera, Mexico. Grounds were beautiful, beach awesome. Plenty of chairs for everyone. Didn't have to go out early in morning to secure chairs. Stayed in the Tropical side which we were advised is the first area that will be closed.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Great vacation

Loved the resort! Very clean and well looked after the staff are very friendly and polite with makes the stay more enjoyable. The buffet food and the three restaurant were very good with lots of variety each day. The Japanese restaurant was a fun night interacting with other guest from around the world. We will return next year.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Clean clean clean

I was very surprised at the resorts maintenance and cleanliness. For the price we paid, I was expecting far less. Medium sized resort which made it easy to find people and re-acquaint yourself with people you met the day before. Quiet relatively speaking. No spring breakers, no overly rowdy drunks which in my experience has been a staple at an all inclusive. The food was very good complete with three nights of amazing lobster! Overall a very pleasant surprise and exceeded my expectation. Oh and  [... read more]was there with 3 month old and he did very well there too.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Good hotel! Friendly service!

hotel room was clean. Toilet clogged a few times. Friendly staff. Beach was great except for constant vendors selling their wares. Food was good. went on 3 excursions bought from vendor on beach & had no difficulties. weather was super-very hot.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Fabulous!!!!

This was our 2nd time there and it was even better then we remembered from last time! All the staff are amazing. Professional, efficient, courteous and extremely friendly. I noted how well staffed the resort was. Everywhere you went there was staff working quitely away to make sure the grounds and the facilities were imaculate. The entertainers are especially great at keeping all ages engaged. There is something for everyone. The beach was prestine! You always feel safe as even the beach is heav [... read more]ily staffed (not that the locals are a threat). We will be back!

Grand Bavaro Princess: Awesome vacation

As this was our third stay at the Bavaro Princess, we knew already what a fabulous resort it is: fantastic beach, great food, superb service, gorgeous grounds, delicious drinks, spacious and very clean accommodations.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Great resort

Grounds are beautiful. Many choices for dinner. The steak house and Japanese were my favorites. Loved Mike's coffee shop. The rooms were clean and spacious. The beach could use some repair work from storm damage but the sand and water colour were amazing.

Grand Sirenis Tropical Suites: Needs some TLC

We went with a group of eight people and had booked four rooms. The next day there was a strong odour of sewer gas in the two rooms. We went to reception and had the rooms changed with some persuasion. The beach was nice and staff was very friendly. Pool needed a little tile work repaired but was nice and big with the activities all on one side. Did not have any trouble getting chairs at the pool or beach.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: O.K Resort

The ride from the airport was a little rough, the bus was something different we could barely get on it was so narrow. The resort was nice, grounds well kept. I found the staff not overly friendly, except for Alex in Mediterranean Restaurant very nice person and very entertaining. I would not recommend Dolce Vita Italian Restaurant The buffet part was O.K but the stuff we ordered was awful. Our room was nice and kept clean. The water pressure is very low. All in all it was O.K for the price we p [... read more]aid. At the Buffet there were a lot of choices of different food so you wont go hungry. They had a few of excursions but very pricy.

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Great stay

We attended this resort February 19 - 26, 2016. This met our expectations and more. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Always had hot water no matter the time of day. We had free wifi in the hotspots all over the resort. Don't expect to swim in the ocean much. Lots of waves and was red flagged 6 out of the 7 days for us. The food was a little repetitive but could always find something to eat. I would recommend this place. One thing I would recommend is a 24 hour bar and snack bar. After 10  [... read more]pm there is no food to be found.

Grand Palladium Punta Cana: Great Resort!!

Beautiful resort!! The food was good, everyone was friendly!! We had no issues at all. Lots to choose from on the buffets. We went to the steak house (which was great) and the Italian a la carts (good also). No problem finding something to eat. Our room (3000 bldg) was central to the beach, lobby, buffet, pool and those two a la carts. It is a big resort and for some activities there is some walking involved. The beach was fantastic and we were sorry to leave. We didn't spend a lot of time at th [... read more]e pool but it was great as well. Our room overlooked the pool and we also had a view of the beach. We had a great time!!!
