Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Love the Paella on the beach

My second time at this resort and It was impressive- ocean view room. Food was excellent and I loved the seafood and steaks. Beach was not great- had lots of sea weed and turned my white bikini bottom green. Pool was very nice and of course we had friendly Canadians who left us their float and noodle. A very family oriental and older adult resort. Entertainment staff worked really hard and we enjoyed the shows. Service staff was friendly- we have our favorites- Juan, Joel, Bonny, Tony and Zacari [... read more]s. I was not happy with one staff in particular who I had given a token and she called my room explaining that her grandfather was not well and needed money- she called numerous times for four days consecutive which made me very uncomfortable that I do NOT want to go back to this hotel. The receptionist was friendly upon arrival but some wasn't as warm when departing. Overall, a great resort and good food and good service.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Wonderful Vacation

The hospitality, room, food, and entertainment was wonderful. The beaches were clean, plenty of beach chairs, and the free dance lessons were lots of fun. I would return again. ( The free ride to town is a scam. They bring you to one tiny mall far from town with only a couple shops. Best you find another method perhaps public bus to real Dominican town shopping)

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Mediocre resort

Would rate as 2-3 star. Room moody and damp, needs updating most a la carte not available , food is okay as are pools. Restaurants needs updating . Service is average at best. Would not recommend this resort.

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: Great Experience!

Rooms were clean and stocked daily with refreshments and fresh towels, cleaning staff were excellent. We stayed in the 1200 block right by the pool / beach and loved the convenience. Groundskeepers worked very hard at keeping all areas including the beach clean and tidy. Always beach and pool chairs available. Dining options varied and always something new to try. Overall a great experience.

Vista Sol Punta Cana: stress free

This hotel allows u to relax. All services were available and people were helpful. The transfers from airport,malls and casino were all on time and close by. Plenty of bars and pools all close to your room. Food was always available, fresh and good. Many coffee machines making good and different types of coffee. The beach is naturally shaded with no problem getting a chair. Very clean resort.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Awesome resort

Great resort! So much to do! Fun waterpark (not just for kids), water sports at the beach (we sent paddle boarding), fun atmosphere watching the Jays game at the sports bar, made use of the Royalton amenities with $15 day pass. Lots of selection for food (buffet and a-la-cartes). Drinks much better at the Royalton. Definitely recommend!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Beautiful!

The resort was beautiful, clean and so much fun. The staff was friendly and helpful, the evening shows were so cute! The whole resort was spotless! The buffet was fantastic and always different! Amazing time!

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Paradise

Very clean, well maintained, grounds are spectacular, staff is very nice.No complaints. The pool is huge and always found a quiet spot to relax. The beach restaurant has a lot of variety which is perfect for those who avoid going to the buffet at lunch time. A lot of palapas, never had to worry about not finding a chair on the beach.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Great Beautiful Clean Resort!

The resort is really nice and clean. Rooms are large, comfortable and lovely. The food is ok we weren't sick or anything but nothing said OMG I need to eat there again. The resort itself is large with a beautiful beach. The age of guest is young and like to party a lot of honeymooners. The resort can be very loud at all hours.( we had to move because we not sleeping at night) The workers are wonderful and do a fantastic job servicing the guest. Would we go back??? Hmmm.. if the price was right.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Nice relaxing vacation at Be Live Grand Marien

The resort was exceptionally clean and well kept. The staff was always attentive and friendly, from the front desk, right down to the gentlemen raking leaves. Anything we needed help with was dealt with right away. A little note in the room regarding HOW to turn the shower on would have been helpful! (pull down on the little spout thing where the water comes out of the tap!) The resort is a bit "tired" and could use an update, but we were very happy with everything. There was lots of choices of [... read more] food at the buffet and everything was yummy and well labelled. The beds are hard - fyi. We were in building 4, close to the beach and everything else. Buildings 3 and 4 are the primo location buildings. The bus ride to and from the airport was well organized and only about 20 minutes. The only annoying thing was the Vacation Sales guys outside the buffet restaurant who bugged us every time we came and went. A firm NO though, and they stopped (after the 3rd day) There were also a few excursion sales people on the beach, but they stopped bugging us after a firm "no thank you as well".

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Nice resort

Food was good. I little hilly. Not a very nice beach. Were not allowed to visit VIP bars/restaurants. Golf course was lousy. We went in October, it was very quiet. Large resort with frequent bus to take you around.

Riu Naiboa: Good for the price

I have stayed at the Riu Naiboa with my boyfriend from September 28- October 4, 2015. The weather was amazing, the beach was great, very clean, lots of palm shade, would have been better with palapas but I guess it's a Riu thing not to use those. Staff were dedicated and friendly. Food lacked variety, but was tasty. Drinks were weak. The bed was tiny and hard, however when my parents stayed at this resort they had a big soft bed so depends on the room you get. Also the drain cover, and door [... read more] handles on shower were broken off, we looked at 4 rooms before choosing this 'least broken' room. The pool bar is not swimup, and you actually have to go up a flight of stairs to get to it. On the weekends lots of locals with lots of kids being very very noisy, and the entertainment gears at them, not speaking Spanish made us feel very excluded. We walked through the other Rius, the difference is astronomical in pretty much everything, that being said the other Rius were also twice as expensive when we were booking so I feel that we got what we paid for. The beach and beach bar/snack bar is the same for all of the Rius in that complex and has great staff, yummy food, and the standard local drinks. Solid 3 stars.

Paradise Playa Dorada: great time

the food is very good great selection the grounds are very clean pool cleaned every day rooms are clean and nice the bars are the best happy friendly ppl the beach is very nice long walk from end to end but lots to see shows where great too always something for everyone

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Our favourite resort in Puerto Plata!

As usual, we had a great time! The staff are always friendly and helpful, especially Joseph (waiter) and our housekeeping lady for room 5119. Also a high five to Francisco at reception. I think of the Iberostar as my second home and would go again in a heart beat!

Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort: Great time

Well I have to say for the price we paid we had a great time. We of course had our rooms moved as we were not happy with the first choice but I have to give props and shout out to Wilson and Ronaldo and Chamelot they made the change smooth and enjoyable and even sent us champagne chocolate and fruit to our room. I believe they went above and beyond to make our stay great. We enjoyed the food for the most part but it could have been better seemed a little over cooked and dry for me but as a chef  [... read more]I might just a bit more picky. We loved the pool and found it was very clean the staff were friendly and all hardworking especially the maids and grounds keepers. I have to say we really enjoyed our time there and we became Sirenis premium travel members and look forward to going back as Freddy was our guide and friend for the travel club and made that experience and our last few days in punta Cana amazing....I look coward to seeing other Sirenis properties and enjoying my vacations in the future.....

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Excellent

Everything in the resort was great. Enjoyed everything from the customer service to the food. All the amenities were top notch and their kids club was amazing as well. Would recommend going to this resort.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Be Live Collection Marien

I enjoyed staying there, these people are friendly except the sellers are annoyed that I didn't like. We need time to look at the tables but these sellers are pushy. The service did well with us, when we arrived at the hotel and they put us to third floor but the service guy checked and said no no you both should stay the first floor, that what I like. Love swimming there. Nice bars too. Food are some good some ok. Good experiences.

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Well managed resort

Resort is beach front and well laid out with minimal walking involved. Staff are friendly and extremely helpful achieving high benchmarks in customer satisfaction while providing solid customer service. We stayed at adult section and upgraded which was an excellent choice as extras were greatly appreciated. Special thanks to our butler Erickson whose professional service and knowledge made our stay that much more enjoyable. Erickson made us feel at home and made our vacation a very pleasant expe [... read more]rience. Thank-you so much for your kindness and efforts. We would definitely return to this resort and highly recommend to other vacationers.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: All adult very positive

We've been to this Resort several times, Club Diamond twice and the Ambar twice. The grounds people are working all day every day to make sure the surroundings are well groomed, including the seaweed that washes up on the beach. This didn't deter us from enjoying the refreshing ocean waters. I use a cane as a mobility aid, and on several occassions was assisted by a buffet server in carrying my plate of food to my table - which was greatly appreciated. There is always a variety of foods to appea [... read more]l to everyone's taste - never lacking. While some people review that they've got sick, it's true, but my comment to this would be - germs are everywhere your hands may touch >> pool chairs, pool bar, hand rails etc. and may not always be related to food sources. The only thing negative I would have to say is the temperature of the pool water. It's very warm, and not refreshing. We stayed last year at the Gran Bahia in Runaway Bay Jamaica, and their pool was cooler, so just not sure why the difference. Maybe they could pump some cooler water in during the day.

Grand Sirenis Tropical Suites: Very good Resort

Everything was Ok, but something was wrong with the food as my family experienced stomach pain and diarrhea. Beach was great and shows every night were Ok. Pools were good are staff were amazing. The kids enjoyed everyday of our vacations. Last day after check out, they gave us a room to prepare ourselves for the flight, but the room was very bad, it smelled bad and it was flooded. Good in general, but it could improve more things.
