Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: It was everything I had heard it would be

This resort was recommended to me by a friend who has stayed their multiple times with family. It was every bit a good as I hoped it would be. The staff were wonderful and helpful. The food was amazing with plenty of selection for all tastes. The grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. The resort was just big enough that you could find seclusion if you needed it, but not too big that it was too much to walk around. The beach is beautiful, but the best part is the lazy river pool. It is  [... read more]HUGE and there we no shortages of spots to park yourself and enjoy the day. I would go back for sure. My travel agent Tina Scibetta-Moore was so helpful in getting this booked for me and answering all of my annoying questions. I can't thank her enough!

Melia Tropical: Amazing resort!

We had an amazing time at Melia Tropical. The best part of the trip was the people working there. The entertainment staff were fun, energetic and you could tell that they loved there job. There wasn't that much going on at the resort but there was enough. Also, the bartenders at avenue bar and the lobby bar made the best drinks. They really took their time. Overall, it was an amazing trip and I think this is the first time where I feel so sad depressed about being back home. I'm ready to book my [... read more] next trip now!

Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Three Times a Charm

Been to this Resort 3 times over the last ten Years. Seems to be our Stand-bye .Food was good service as alway excellent , Rooms clean , Pool could use some cleaning . They were updating the Tiles not a issue,

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Great Value

The hotel is very nice. Staff keep it very clean. It has some of the nicest people working there. Animation crew keep everyone involved in what was going on. They try very hard to make sure that everyone has a wonderful time. The pools are extremely clean. The food was excellent lots to pick from.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Great resort

A beautiful clean resort. If you are looking for white sand beaches you wont find them here. What you will find is hard working staff who really do their best to make your stay enjoyable. The food was very good, and they change up the buffet theme every day.

Grand Palladium Punta Cana: Grand Palladium Punta Cana

Found resort to be too big. Not very well laid out and confusing to navigate. No activities at the pools during the day. Food was OK. Service was good however. Rooms were clean and well maintained. The villas were good and clean. We simply didn't like how big the resort was. Lots of children and locals on the weekends. The a la carte restaurants were very badly organized. You had to get in line at 5 to 5:30 to make a reservation for that evening. There was no reserving in advance. Many times you [... read more] simply didn't get into the restaurants. Sent 3 days in line for over one hour each day to make reservations. We got in, however, it was a long wait in line. Beach was great!!!!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Great time!

This is my third trip to Gran Bahia, first time to Ambar section and all was great! Pools, beach, grounds, service, food, drink are all Fabulous! I do think however, some of the facilties are outgrowing the rooms, they seem to always be adding more rooms but still only one bathroom at the beach bar.

Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Great place with good response for service calls

The staff is super. The food was very good. HOWEVER, the air Conditioning system let us down. We arrived on Nov 29 (room temperature that night was 28C) Monday night 29C; Tuesday the 30th 30C; Wed. Dec.1st 31C Thurs 2nd 33C, Friday the 3rd 34C same for Saturday Sunday our last day woke up at 28. We still enjoyed our stay (in spite of very little sleep due to heat) and are looking forward to going back next year at this time and for 2 weeks .

Paradise Playa Dorada: Nice Resort

I was at this resort the beginning of November. I went solo so my opinion may differ from couples or families. It was not too busy so for the most part fairly quiet. The food was fantastic. Plenty of choice and tasty. The servers were polite and the entertainment staff were happy go lucky and made me laugh everyday. When the local families started checking in for the weekend, it became crowded and noisy but entertaining at the same time. Nice to see local children and their parents having such a [... read more] good time. One COMPLAINT: during the day on the beach you would be asked quite often to buy jewelry or clothes; have braids done or have a massage. Also to take tours or to talk about time share possibilities etc. For this reason I found it more pleasant to stay around the pool during the day and go to the beach after 5p.m. The water (ocean) was warmer than the pool and very relaxing.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: A good value adult resort

This was our 4th trip to the Villas Doradas and we have seen 3 renos. The resort is very clean with a definite pride of ownership. My major beef is that there is a large section of "better" rooms reserved for time share guests versus regular paying clients. If possible we would like to be able to receive CNN and a Canadian TV channel. With the large number of Canadian guests they should be able to mix Caesar's. The selection of food is great and the Jade Garden is a beautiful restaurant with exc [... read more]ellent food vs. the old Chinese format. The small pool beside the Spa should have the bar re-opened for the 4-8pm crowd with some bar snacks and some bar stools. Something that definitely needs to be changed is the beach vendors. Unless these people are resort employees then get them off the property. There is vacant land next door to the east and that is where they can gather, not mingled in front of your beach guests. We receive an insessant noise from this group that is completely inappropriate for the paying guests. There is a wonderful carring staff that is probably underappreciated by the guests.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Wonderful Resort

Beautiful resort on the top of a cliff. Scenic views from everywhere. Food was great with lots of variety. Beach small but very clean. Rooms average but very clean. Not great for children or the elderly. Many stairs.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Bahia principe

The hotel itself is very clean and beautiful. The people were so friendly and helpful. The tile around the pool was very slippery. There needs to be more bathrooms near the beach . The food I found to be just okay . There was a lot of fried food and very repetitive . The entertainment was pretty lame. The music was not very current and everything ended at 1030pm

Grand Bavaro Princess: Beautiful beach

This resort is very large but the grounds are very well kept. Birds rabbits cats run freely through the resort lush gardens. The best was the beach, white sand and beautiful ocean. Food was ok. We traveled with a family of 6 and no one was sick. Enjoyed the Italian restaurant the best. The night entertainment was a huge disappointment. Overall we had an enjoyable time.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Amazing hotel and beach

This is our first time in the Dominican Republic This hotel is truly first class (5 star) We have been to many all inclusive hotels that where beautiful But this hotel is spectacular Beautiful beach(no seaweed), restaurants first class. We went to three (Italian,Mediterranean, Brazilian) The buffet anything you want BUT what we were impressed by the cleanliness of the place Rooms amazing and clean and new Service is fantastic We have been all over the Caribbean in all inclusiveness but this is t [... read more]he best We will return Regards Frank

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Very nice resort a lots of Palm trees.

exellent location grounds very clean a lots of green everywhere.what I like the most was the palm trees on the beach and pool area very nice and busy. food ok.always fresh and plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Secrets Royal Beach: Great resort - terrible a la cartes restaurants.

Great grounds, excellent service, great beach. Sub par food. Buffet was ok, but restaurants were not good. Three times left the restaurant and headed to the buffet. The Beaches resorts in PuntaCana have much better food. Would not return.

Cayo Levantado Resort: A well maintained island resort

The friendliness of the staff, the amazing location & the amply stocked buffet made this one of the best All Inclusive Resorts that we have had the pleasure to stay at. A very relaxing atmosphere which is just what we came for.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Amazing resort very large

Grounds, pool, location, rooms, food were great. If you want to be near a pool and only a 7 minute walk in one direction to ocean, or other direction for 7 minute walk get block 31. It is right in middle of the Bavaro section

Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Ideal for all ages

Iberostar Dominicana and Puntacana are the same.Choose which one is better price. Check in /out very fast. Staff are friendly.The WestJet tour rep more intrested in selling tour pakages than explaning other things.The tours are very expensive,most are over $100 US p/p. We stayed in bungalo type suite and it was very good. The site has beautiful landscape and well maintained. Walking around the site is very enjoyable.Beach is very nice .No water shoe required. The waves are bit high and the water [... read more] is slightly deep, so if you are not a swimmer, you may not enjoy that much.Food is ok. If you are a vegetarian, you are stuck with pastas every day. Would be nice more veg dishes available. Most staff don't speak or understand very basic English.This is a big draw back for Canadian,USA/European tourists. If the price is right, I wil go back again since I spent all my time in the beach.

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Will not return

I'm easily impressed and this vacation did not impress us. We were quite excited about our 10 day get away until we arrived. There is certainly no wow factor upon arrival, quite scary looking actually. Inside the resort the grounds are nice and clean . We were upgraded right away to vip so we had a fabulous room with an ocean view.the a la cartes were not as good as the buffet . The food was not as I would expect and the staff acted as though they were doing you a favor. Front deck was nice, but [... read more] got hoodwinked into taking a tour of a " vacation club " for half the day then tried to make feel guilty about not having 26 grand to fork over. Too many pushy people trying to sell you things on the resort and during excursions. It's not relaxing when you are constantly trying to push your way through vendors. Even the adult only beach had folks yelling to you for a massage , hair braids or come see my shop. We spent a lot of money to relax only to be harassed. The beach was piled high with seaweed and not cleared until we were leaving . I tried to swim in it and it was like swimming in a pot of soup, not fun . We made the best of it but will never go back. I'll stick to Cuba thanks
