Paradise Playa Dorada: Great staff, a little dated, some good and bad!

Staff was amazing... we were there in low season so there was plenty of staff to tend on your every need. Beware the time share people as they are also there for the hard sell... not even a free massage to entice you to listen to their pitch. Front desk staff were a little disappointing, never any cash to exchange of monies, and long wait to check in, 4 hours... other than that a good resort.. They say all inclusive but there are some premiums even with room upgrades, we were in an ocean view su [... read more]ite... 4 dollars a day for in room safe... also the First time I had seen an a la carte with a cash option for the good food......

Riu Merengue: Hotel Trotter

Facility was great, rooms were good, food was good. Too many flies on food at the outdoor buffet. A lot of people in our group were sick with a gastronomical disorder. Beach was beautiful and pools were great.

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Beautiful resort with great hospitality!

We had an amazing experience at this resort. The staff were more than helpful at all times. The rooms were expressly clean and modern. Cleaning staff was on point and always available. The beds were a tad bit hard but hey, you can't please everyone. The food was your typical resort food. Lots of choices and themed nights throughout the week . The only downfall was that the late night snack bar didn't stay open 24 hours as advertised. It was open until 2 am though. The bar staff was amazing! They [... read more] never under poured . (They weren't shy to make a stiff drink) bonus points there! The pools were great! And the guests were always happy. The entertainment team was always around and ensuring everyone was having a good time! The nightly shows were also great. The only downfall is that it would get extremely quiet after the shows. There wasn't much of a late night nightlife but, if you meet the right people you can make your own party. Overall, great experience and would recommend it to anyone!

Ocean Blue and Sand: Excellent resort

Clean maintained grounds, professional and friendly staff. Great entertainers and shows. Great variety and flavours available in the buffett. Rooms were clean. Resort seems big at first but easy to navigate Disco is fun.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Fantastic water park

Grounds clean, people friendly and dinners were delicious at the a l carts. Water park is the best I have ever seen on vacation. Rooms are spacious building 7 is the best place to stay. Close to the airport if travelling with children.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Fantastic resort

Let me first mentiob the staff, particularly Yuni Eusebio who took care of my son when he hurt himself on the second day of our trip. He arranged the trip to the clinic and was quite helpful. Manuel Guillandeaux was also helpful. The staff called for the next three days to check on my son's recuperation which was very much appreciated. The grounds were immaculate, the hotel was clean, the beach was wonderful, chairs around the pool were always available.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Great stay for the family!

Nov 2015. Resort and staff were great. Diamond club is worth the extra cash. The butler you get with the diamond club is amazing. They arrange everything for you and the private pool and beach areas are very nice. The kids loved the water park and the pools. Beach was Clean nice but the waves were too strong to swim. Visit the Royalton resort attached. Very nice! Stay there if you have a bigger budget. But with the diamond club you also have access to most things. Don't worry about the forecast. [... read more] It rains for 5 min in the day or it's at night.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Lots of fun for the kids

Memories Splash Punta Cana is a great resort for parents with kids. The Water Park and activities will keep them busy all day. Start the day at the pool when it is still quiet, move on to the Water Park and its wave pool and slides, and finish the day at the beach. Don't miss the beautiful sunset before going for a shower and get ready for a nice dinner to one of the restaurants or the buffet. There are day activities and evening entertainments for the kids as well as shows for the entire family [... read more].

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Good resort, very poor communication

I did like almost everything, but the communication between the people of the different departments is non existent. We complain that we don't have facial towels to the lady who prepares the room and nothing happens, I went to reception I ask for them and they told me that were allowed to have them and we got them, the next day they clean the room and we did not have the towels. I went back to reception ask for the supervisor he told me that he was going to fix it because we were allowed to have [... read more] them when we went back to our room later around they were there, the next day we did not have them. It was a daily battle which cost the tip to the lady who took care of the room, also in a way is one of those small things that sours a bit the stay there.

Caribe Deluxe Princess: Great resort

Having access to both resorts is a real bonus. There are also 5 a la care restaurants. The buffet was big. The fruit juices were amazing. Great omelettes and pasta. Pool at the second resort is nice and quiet. Seaweed is an issue.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: What a great trip!

The Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville is a very nice resort where the staff go out of their way to please you! The grounds are very meticulously kept and the whole resort is extremely clean. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with each having a walk in shower and jetted soaker tub. Whatever you need while you are away, just ask and they will get it for you. The pool and beach were lovely. The sea water was murky, but don't let that sway you, it's just because the resort is so close to the ri [... read more]ver. The water was great to hang out in on those hot days. The food was well cooked and lots of variety. Most of us in our group did get sick during this trip, but you have to remember we were visiting the Dominican. We did not take precautions before going down. This really was the only negative and we did not let it ruin our trip or sway our judgement of the resort. If you choose this resort, you will have a fabulous time!

Ocean Blue and Sand: Avoid resort

Terrible resort... Filthy rooms, not cleaned at all, sheets not changed from previous guests, poop on light switch in bathroom, hair on sink and in tub, blood on wall, dirty pair of underwear left from previous guest. New room was cleaner. Had to request sheets to be changed because I saw some blood on them. Cockroaches in hallways. Food was good at a la cartes and ok at buffet. The beach was gone. Eroded away. All the chairs had been pushed so close together it was awful. Smoking everywhere. In [... read more] rooms, at beach, pool, entrances to all restaurants, on patios...everywhere you walked. For a non smoker it was awful!!! Spa well ... Lol they get very close to personal areas. Expensive and I am still sore from my deep tissue massage. Air transat rep was useless. No help at all. Management doesn't care if you are happy or not. And beware of the time share guys.

Paradise Playa Dorada: Grand Paradise is truly a grand place to vacation

Trip central was very easy you use to get the best deal for your vacation with the price alert feature. I did the booking on line got our tickets online and just had to wait for the departure date to arrive. Yvette was very helpful in putting this together. Grand Paradise is our favourite in the Dinican because the rooms are clean, well maintained, the staff are all very pleasant, the food is good in taste and quantity. Did I mention Grand Paradise has the best beach in Playa Dorado? Its long cl [... read more]ean,wide, and has a gentle slope into water. This was our eighth visit to Grand Paradise.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Great Time

Overall the resort was very nice. Rooms were large and modern, lighting could have been a bit better. Restaurants were also very good. Need to upgrade their wine and alcohol selection.The beaches and facilities were wonderful. Had a nice week, great time of year weather was fantastic, rained in the evening.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Amazing trip

It's amazing! Enjoyable and relax, excellent service! I really like to go back again. People are very friendly over there. It's a nice place to choose. It's wonderful trip for me. I wil refer to my friends

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Perfect for the price we paid

Amazing landscape , superbe rooms and very clean. One huge disappointment was the sea water in the golfe on the beach front. Not safe for swimming due to a high level of sediments and bacteria's brought by the river that's dumps all that nasty inland contains close by .

Grand Palladium Palace: Very nice resort.

We loved how everything was so close. We could get to the pool, beach, lobby and restaurants in less than five minutes. We would have liked it better if the beach was a little deeper. Everyone was so close to one another.

Riu Bambu: Good value for money

Friendly staff, amazing food, and clean facilities. My only complain was the rooms were dated and definitely required some upkeep. Beach was beautiful and absolutely recommend the massages at their spa.
