Occidental Caribe: Beautiful place but poor service

Was there with my boyfriend for my 30th birthday, stayed from Oct 26- Nov 2. The rooms and resort are beautiful, ocean was super rough, food not so great and service and English of staff not so good. The staff seems annoyed to even be there. We originally had a great room but facing a pool they were doing construction on which we weren't even aware there was construction at the resort until we arrived, asked to change rooms and while doing so at the front desk the man blatantly started speaking  [... read more]in Spanish about us to another employee. Not much air conditioning throughout the grounds. The casino is small and the staff there are unwelcoming and don't greet or speak to you nicely. I know it was the week of Halloween but I felt like they were zombies that couldn't speak. Of all my travels this was the first time I was happy to go home. WILL NOT be going back to dominican again my advice is stick to Cuba or Mexico where the beach is better and so are the people. Also in dominican they hassle you to buy souvenirs and want to charge extreme and outrageous prices so if you are not comfortable negotiatin prices then don't bother. Do not get a message on the beach it is not private and everyone can see.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Good Resort

We had a comfortable stay at the Ocean Blue and enjoyed the large variety of food. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the beach and the pools. Although there were a few passing rain showers, overall the weather was great and we got plenty of sunshine.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Super

The Luxury Ambar 2 stay was great. Room was very nice, pools were clean and the grounds staff keep the place immaculate. The staff in all facets were friendly and helpful. Many of the golf cart drivers went out of their way to help with getting you to where you wanted to go or move your bags. The Beach was well kept with all of the gentleman raking the seaweed which mother nature was not being cooperative with. The bar staff at the pools and beach were always cheerful, friendly and entertaining. [... read more] I was impressed with the vast amounts of nightly entertainment in so many areas such as the theater and lobbies. The food choices and quality was also very good. Principle town was a great place for laughs after the theater. I would definitely like to plan a return visit. Great job Bahia !

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Expected More.

Beautiful grounds and beach. The rooms were very small for a family of 4 and had very little storage for our things. Beds were hard and pillows were terrible. Loved the duvets tho :) we went without water 2 nights during our stay.. I got terribly sick one night.. But sure if it was good or water but it passed thank goodness and I made careful choices with food the rest of the trip. The food was decent.. Drinks were typical. There was very little for the kids to do and the resort was super quiet. [... read more]. Slow season. It was also under renovations and the jack hammering by the pool 10 hours a day was a bit much.The people at the resort were amazing and the only thing that made this vacation really great. Always smiling and great service all around.

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Beautiful Resort, great vacation!

Beautiful resort, very well maintained, great food... Ray Bear and The Machine with the entertainment staff made our stay so fun and memorable. Would definitely recommended this resort and would love to go back!

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Great resort!

This is a great resort. We were there for a wedding. The food was great. The beache was clean and beautiful. The aquatics team offered a lot of a variety of water activities to choose from. Great gym facility. The only thing that surprised us was seeing children on the resort (Elegance side) as we were told it was an adults only resort.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Colonial club. Worth the upgrade!

We stayed oct 12/2015 week for our anniversary. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The butler was there asking if he could help us. Even when we didn't request him. 24 hr room service was great for times when you just wanted to stay in. Ocean was amazing. +++ on the colonial club. Def worth it.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: “Beware of the V.I.P. Breakfast! - Awesome Resort”

I first have to warn about going to the V.I.P. breakfast. It's all about a sale. They want you to purchase into their resorts. The lowest price being 30,000.00 to 125,000.00. They tell you that when you say no they won't push it any longer, well that is not true at all. They also tell you that it is only 90 minutes of your time, again not true, I broke the talk off at 2.5 hours. They were not happy. Brooke the manager of the sales office was all warm and fuzzy until we told her we did not want t [... read more]o purchase because of the U.S. dollar value at the moment and she got up in a huff and chucked the worksheet of all the "great prices" down on the desk. When you first arrive at the resort you will be swept away buy one of the concierge employee's that take such excellent care of you until you say "no" to the sales team. Our concierge person Cesar was all over us and couldn't do enough for us until he heard we did not want to buy into the resorts. After that, we asked him for some more water in our room (prior to saying no to the sale) he said it would be there in a jiff. It never came. Even when he saw us in the lobby he didn't even acknowledge us any more. No good morning nothing. Very unprofessional in my opinion. So avoid the breakfast if you have no intention of buying, they make YOU feel so guilty for wasting their time. As for the resort, it is beautiful. The rounds are very well kept, the pools constantly cleaned. The rooms are very spacious and well maintained. I read about musty smells but didn't find our room musty at all. Room Tip: If you want quiet at night, get a room on the opposite side of the pools

Grand Bavaro Princess: Outstanding!!!!!

We stayed in the platinum club. It was well worth it!!! Wifi worked well!! The staff was friendly and efficient. When we arrived to check in our greeting was welcome home! What a warm greeting. We instantly felt like family. The room was great. The phone was broken we let the staff know and a new phone was installed right away. Food was very good.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Wonderful!

Nice resort, not too big. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Food was good. Plenty of choices. Memories is attached to the Royalton and you have to go through it to get to the beach. Not a big deal. Jump on the tram and walk a few minutes and you're there. Sands bar is right there as well as the lunchtime buffet. So we stayed on the beach for most of the day. Never had a problem finding loungers with shade. The waterpark was alot of fun even for someone over 50. The best thing about Memories [... read more] is the staff. Always so welcoming and kind. They genuinely want you to be happy. We had a wonderful time and I can't wait to go back.

Grand Palladium Select Bavaro: awesome resort

The Palladium Bavaro was very well kept the grounds were clean service was great and everyone was so polite. Rooms were always made up and cleaned for us. There was plenty of places to eat. Would defenitly go back again!

Riu Bambu: OK Resort

This hotel is OK. Some things are very nice and some things are lacking. The beach is gorgeous, pools nice, staff excellent. Rooms are OK. No coffee maker, no room service, no concierge. The gym had little to no equipment and was difficult to get a decent workout. Drinks are average, wine is awful and food is OK at best5. The buffet was better than the a la carte restaurants. I have stayed in the Bavaro area on many occasions and know that for a bit more money the hotels up the beach are top not [... read more]ch with full service. Was a fun vacation but would not go back to this resort.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Luxury Bahia Principe Ambar

The best beach I have ever seen. Everything was fantastic, from the food, to the staff, room and the pool. Everything was close by and a "train" is available to take you to the sister resorts. Would definitely go back!

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: High class resort

The grounds , rooms and amenities are high end. The cappucinio, dessert bar is a nice touch. It's nice to have top shelf alcohol. Bottom line is you want to feel pampered ...come to this resort highly recommend it...and get option plus with air transit with the leg room...you wont regret it .

Riu Bambu: Great time but some Issues

Excelllent - staff, activities, cleanliness, nurse station, beach Good - pool, rooms Issues-king bed doesn't mean two beds pushed together, no coffee in room, availability to get more cash was next to impossible, sand fleas

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Good hotel for the $$ value

Grounds were great, food was good, rooms were good, except if you didn't tip enough then you didn't get good towels...or had to remind them to fill out the fridge...basically everything was driven by tips... Also the music was too loud at the pool could hear it at the beach...

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: A great resort!

The hotel was fantastic! Great food, rooms very clean and spacious, polite staff and great beach. A definite recommendation for anyone looking for a nice quiet getaway. Note though that it is a fair drive from the Punta Cana airport but it does give you a great opportunity to see a little bit of the Dominican country side.

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Pure Paradise

The hotel was amazing. We were in the preferred section and we loved it. Fast check in. Free WiFi for preferred members and fast. Room was beautiful. Pools amazing. The restaurants outstanding. No wristbands and no reservations required. I have been to many all inclusive resorts and the entertainment here was top notch. Disco roof top. The entertainment team get you up and dancing on you feet. The waiters remember what you are drinking. We cannot wait to return.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: excellent resort

This resort has beautiful rooms, excellent customer service, everyone working there is friendly and helpful. The rooms have a jacuzzi tub with a separate shower and two sinks. Lots of closet space for cloths and shoes. There is also a balcony or patio for each room with chairs and table. Beautiful landscaped gardens everywhere you go. This resort also has many pools, with swim up bars. There is no shortage of food or beverages.
