Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Fantastic Resort!

This resort exceeded our expectations. The transfer was via a very comfortable coach bus and only about 25 minutes. Check in went extremely smoothly. Our rooms were immaculate and cleaned thoroughly on a daily basis often with diplays of hibiscus flowers on the beds and washroom. The grounds were maintained by a small army of people who always had a smile. The food at all the buffets and restaurant was well prepared and fresh daily. Drinks at all the bars were cold and plentiful. There were lite [... read more]rally hundreds of recliners both at the several pools and on the beach so getting chairs to relax on was never a problem. Lots of activities for the kids as well. Overall this resort was 10 out of 10 and we would highly recommend it to family and friends.

Royalton Punta Cana Resort: Diahrea there and back

Hotel looked fabulous however the climate a bit too hot to enjoy. They could have had more shaded walking areas to and from amenities. I got what can be described as a stabbing or burning pain in the gut area and around the back that lasted for 3 days. It may have been food poisining.

Occidental Caribe: Barcelo

The place was very nice, staff was excellent, food was good Beach was beautiful, pools were great, could another swim up bar there was only one . Everything was within walking distance and the view from our room was spectacular

Grand Bavaro Princess: wonderfull place

Everything was perfect eccept the "upgrade room" to a suite. The hotel did 'nt want to give us tthe place we use to have on the complex because of that. We had to argue for a long time and we finally got what we asked for. But nex time you should advise the customer about the "upgrade room to suite they will gave you the worst place on the site.

Excellence Punta Cana: Perfect honeymoon!

Once we got to the room , it exceeded our expectations., it was big with lots of space and very clean. 10 different restaurants, all with great options and entertainment every night !

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Amazing!!

Food was amazing!! Beach was so pretty!! Pool was perfect!! recomand the Brazilian, Mexican and gourmet restaurants!! Loved it over all!! The people are just amazing as well, so kind and giving and they don't do it for tips

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: Nothing Major to Complant

Overall it's a nice hotel. The rooms are clean and quiet enough as long as the door and window are closed. The buffet has great variety of choice and the a la carte restaurants are even better. If there's one thing to complaint, it's their English skill, most of the staff can only speak Spanish and for those who can speak English also has limited words. We spent lots of time explaining what we want than actually get what we want. It would have been a five star for sure if the communication wasn' [... read more]t an issue.

Royalton Punta Cana Resort: Great Resort

The resort was beautiful and clean, the food was amazing, the rooms were well appointed and the staff were friendly and helpful. Everything was in close proximity, so not a lot of walking required. Would definitely return!

Grand Palladium Select Bavaro: Beautiful resort

It is a large resort, but manageable to get around by train or by taxi. The resort is well maintained, the staff is very friendly and always making sure that you have everything you need. There is a large choice of restaurants with a good variety of foods. There are large pools with swim up bars, the bartenders are very friendly. Miguel at imperial service was great. The only negative thins were the guys set up for the market, very persistent and would not leave you alone. It was a very relaxing [... read more] time in the sun. Can't wait to go back. This was our second time there with our kids.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Amazing resorts to relax

Love the pool and the food a lot o choices and all the staff from pool to dining ,bar they are all friendly staff. Good to recommend to all my friends and relatives. Wants to go back again with lots of friends and family. to enjoy

Grand Palladium Punta Cana: Average resort

My thoughts on this hotel are. The grounds and public areas are clean and fairly maintained. The rooms are big and average. The service and maintenance of our room was below average. Noisy A/C unit (when it worked). Had an issue with our A/C thermostat on our the first day in the resort, the T-stat batteries need to be changed. The maintenance staff replaced it with old batteries on the same day. In the middle of the night the A/C stopped working again, took 3 days to get it fixed, and the main [... read more]tenance and resort supervisor had left our room door open with no one inside except the maintenance key left on the key holder to keep room lights on. Door to balcony did not close well. Cleaning services was below average, cleaning staff would ignore the used towel tho be changed and place them back on the clean towel rack. The food at GP in the a la carts and buffet are great. The service from the waiters/waitress was below average. drinks would take a long time to arrive at the table at the buffet. The self serve drink stations where shut down. In order to get great service at this hotel, be prepared to tip the staff with anything above $5 American dollars.

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Excellente!

This resort was amazing! The pool was beautiful and clean at all times. The rooms were very clean, the cleaning lady came twice a day one in the morning and evening. The staff is amazing, they were always on top of things and very friendly and sweet. The beach could be better but the set up is very nice. Overall I would definitely recommend and go back to this resort. It was a beautiful experience!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Its alright

The resort itself is beautiful but people that work there are rude never listen to what you say they just get you what they want at the end of the day as in food. Food was not good in general i got my stuff stolen on the pool worth (300$) while i was swimming abd i never got them back. we also found cocraches walking on the table at the sea food restaurant after we finisehd eating it was disgusting we tried talking to the manager but he didnt care. My room's A/C got broken twice during the week  [... read more]i called twice no one came so i had to go to the main desk and bring someone with me.

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: wonderful resort

rooms very good, food - everyone can find something really good to eat, beach amazing, hotel grounds too, everything is close and accessible, beach chairs need to be updated, agent Jennifer Reece very nice and accommodating, made sure we had the best rooms to fit our needs - Thank you so much Jennifer

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: GBP Ambar - Excellent on so many levels

Visited this Adult Only resort from August 12 to the 19 with a friend from university, we are both single guys. This hotel is the Adult Only section of the bigger Grand Bahia Principe complex. The size maybe a turn off for some, that seek a more intimate experience, but for us, the size was a plus, as there are many lobbies, activities, pools to see and spend time at. Truth be told, we spend the week at the Adult pool and beach side, as there were no kids. The Ambar section did have lots of coup [... read more]les (understandable), so if a party/single scene is what you are after, you will be disappointed here. We just wanted to get away and find time to relax, although the club was rocking with singles after 11:00 at the central "town square". We did book 10 days in advanced our request for the a-la carte restaurants, and got every request. So for the 7 nights we were there we dined at restaurants, no buffet for us. Did the Don Pablo twice, excellent food and presentation, heard people complaining (from the other hotels) they could not get a single a la carte (most of the Ambar guests got their reservations) . Do yourself a favor and plan ahead and you would not be disappointed. On the topic of food, breakfast was amazing, my buddy ate smoke salmon and caviar for breakfast, just so he could say he had that. Food was always fresh and there was a day that they had a person making donuts right in front of you, how cool was that. Every morning they had a mimosa station set up (orange juice and champagne) and our server kept bringing us glasses of mimosa once he saw our glasses were empty. Top class service. I don't drink coffee and had to tell the servers "no coffee for me please" many times, I did appreciate the fact that they thought I drank coffee. Lunch during our stay was at the Ambar 1 pool "snack bar". Which snack bar makes fresh palella and pasta in front of you, and had fresh assortment of meats and dishes. My favorite was fries with chilli and cheese dripped all over it and some BBQ chicken on the side. Dinner was at the various a la cartes. All were awesome, my favorite was the Rodizio, the meats were just perfect and it just kept coming, most meals disappear over time, this restaurant was the opposite. There was absolutely no issues with food, and both of us were fine, so stomach issues. Just be smart and try not to get crazy with the assortment of food. The beach was as expected, lots of seaweed, but the workers kept it as clean as possible and once you get past the first 10 feet, the ocean was clear. There was lots of "Reserved for Adult Ambar Patrons" signs all over our section of the beach, so getting a spot was not a problem. They even had a young man clean the sand off your lounger and feet after being on the beach. I had to tip him (10.00 USD), since no one was. Spent lots of time at the Ambar 1 pool, where shaded places were not a problem to obtain. They were very consistent with brining drinks to you, the girls came around every 10 minutes or so. Many times they came around with fruit skewers (pineapple - cantelope - watermelon) and specialty cocktails for you to try. The Ambar 2 pool had a sushi bar, which I was told was very good (did not try it myself). It is true the Ambar 2 pool was quieter (until the pool bar patrons got their fill, and the noise level went up), but it was great interacting with many different people. In closing, my friend only visit to the Caribbean before this trip was to Cuba and after the first hour being at the Grand Bahia Principe, he was blown away with the overall presentation of the grounds, lobbies, pool, etc. Myself, I was in the Dominican last August, staying at the Grand Palladium Palace (which was awesome in its own way), but the GBP Ambar blows it away. I used the room safe and many times I had my iphone charging in the room during the day, with no safety issues what so ever. I did tip the maid 5.00 USD everyday and my room was perfect. The turn down service was amazing, with the blinds drawn in, PJ's laid out on my bed and chocolates left (3.00 USD tip was left for the turndown maid) . THIS PLACE IS AMAZING and set the bar at what a 5 star hotel is. I did not name any staff in particular in this review, but as a collective they were all awesome. Hopefully we will be there next August for round 2.

Royalton Punta Cana Resort: Great vacation

The royalton resort was beautiful. Clean, minimal bugs, beautiful clean beaches. The grounds were maintained. The rooms were kept clean. No issues with any staff members. Everyone was friendly. Good family resort.

Royalton Punta Cana Resort: Awesome resort!

Beautiful resort! We were there for my daughter's wedding. The grounds and the food and the staff were wonderful! Only complaint was there was consistently a shortage of towels, both in the room and at the pool.

Sanctuary Cap Cana Luxury Collection Adults Resort: DO NOT STAY HERE!

I have never written a review for a resort before but felt compelled to do so now so no one else goes through what we did. We booked this hotel based on the reviews (all great) but I am not sure how there were no poor reviews. We booked a swim up suite in the castle. Check in was good, rooms were AWFUL! They are not a reflection of the pictures on the website, dirty & stained. Mini bar consisted of water and beer only. The swim up room pool was dirty. We paid $1800 US to upgrade to a Honeymoon  [... read more]suite which was equally terrible, we ended up getting our money back and moving resorts after being shown 5 rooms that we were not happy with. In the end they did offer an upgraded room free of charge but at this point after seeing 5 rooms already and being charged to upgrade due to the room conditions we were ready to leave. The seaweed on the beach is excessive which is causing a smell (bad), Punta Cana is having a seaweed issue but the resort we transferred to cleaned it up every day so it was not an issue. The breakfast buffet was small (not what you would expect from an all inclusive resort), you CANNOT wear flip flops at any restaurant for dinner (even if they are nicer ones) and that was all I had packed. You have to sign a receipt after each meal, my husband & I left a cash tip and put $0 on the receipt and when we checked out (the day after getting there) the waiter had added a 1 to make it $10 even though we left cash, thank goodness we kept a copy to prove we did not leave a tip on the bill. The grounds are not what the pictures reflect the website what so ever! The items that were GREAT... the food for one meal we had, the pina coladas and the service that was provided with all the issues we experienced. We checked in on a Sunday so moved to another resort on Monday to enjoy the rest of our holiday. If you are looking for a stress free, relaxing holiday in a clean well kept resort, do yourself a favour and book it somewhere else!

VIK Hotel Arena Blanca: Quiet getaway!

This vacation was exactly what we were looking for! A smaller resort with a real Carribean feel! Palapas on the beach and around the pool offering shade for those who needed to retreat from the sun. The pools were clean, our room was very clean, everyday, we stayed in building #4, very central to pool, restaurants, bars and beach! I loved how close the pools and beach were together! Short walk everywhere! Shopping on site, and a market of shops close by! The beach was white sands, unfortunately, [... read more] with hurricanes brewing in the area, there was a lot of kelp on shore and in the ocean...the hotel did have locals cleaning the shoreline which looked like a never ending job this season. Food and beverages were self serve everywhere but at the a la cartes. We loved not waiting in line for a water, a Pepsi or a slushie! Our expectations were for a quiet, clean, sunny vacation and that's exactly what we got!

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Good resort

Overall good resort, clean rooms , good food, friendly except the check in. We got there at 2:30 pm and after waiting in line for more then an hour our rooms still were not ready. We got our rooms after 6pm. We were very happy that they cleaned the seaweeds every day.
