Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort: Amazing experience

I love everything about the resorts:) Friendly employees and very accommodating. My fridge is always stocked up and my room is always clean:). My only comment is the water park for the kids are a little dirty other than that this place has a lot to offer! definitely will come back again soon.

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: Beautiful Resort

Very clean resort , well kept. Friendly staff. Lots available restaurants , buffet with a different theme each night and lots of variety in terms of food choices. Lots of Day and night time entertainment for everyone to join in . Safe and the proximity the beach is quite close walkable.

Riu Republica: Amaizing resort

We were lucky to have a room in the center of the hotel and all the places were relatively close to us. The food was very good, varied and for all tastes. The restaurants were very good and the service was excellent. The hotel workers were very helpful and friendly. The room was very good and comfortable. The beach was very good, the water was crystal clear and there was no seaweed. The pools were excellent, very clean and for all tastes. The water park was really fun but with few options.

Serenade Punta Cana Beach and Spa Resort: Nice resort but...

The resort was beautiful, staff were friendly, the grounds were really clean (except for the smell of sewage in some areas, just hold your breath and walk by quickly) but unfortunately 3 out of 5 of us ended up food poisoning (E. Coli) with one being hospitalized after eating at the sports bar. The rooms on the family side were nice but the bathroom was a little off putting with a window the size of a door open into the shower from the rooms. We would have to take turns going out on the balcony  [... read more]or going for a walk while one of us showered. No big deal, just odd. The food was okay but really repetitive. The pools, beach and water slides were all really nice. All in all the resort was really nice but we are understandably not going to return.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Great Holiday

We stayed at this resort in June 2024. Overall worth the cost. The grounds were well maintained. Abundance of food and options for all. Staff were kind and tried their best to help when needed. The resort is quite old with some issues which required attention like room updates, leaking ceiling, appliance not functioning but were fixed for us. No room service available. Food truck has awsome snacks . Pools were clean, seaweeds were cleaned daily. Would definitely return but not in June due too  [... read more]extreme heat and massive amounts of mosquitoes.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Great resort

Everything was great from the beach to the pool, dinning was great at all the restaurants. Resort was clean & service was great what ever we needed they more than happy to accommodate us. Thank You Mark

Bahia Principe Explore Turquesa: Great resort for family

The grounds are well maintained. The main restaurant and the steak house serve a variety of delicious food. Service in the main restaurant is exceptionally good and the place is constantly being cleaned! My grandkids really enjoyed the beach, swimming pool, water parks, the mini golf and the magic show. Good price for a family vacation!

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: nice resort

As we got there ,we were quickly looked after and albeit late at night all went smooth. Got room service for a snack ,and enjoyed the view form the balcony .We had to change room from 3rd level to the ground floor and it was done ,no fuss about it. Premises in day time looked even nicer, clean and well maintained. People courteous and accommodating. Coffee shop and restaurants clean, pretty well assorted for food, breads ,drinks ,fruits ,a bit less for sweets. Pools large and well kept, as well  [... read more]as the chairs and plenty of towels . Beach area was with fine sand, natural and manmade shades. Water quite nice, yet had to go around seaweeds, although attempted to be removed often. All in all , we had a a pleasant time at this place .

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Room for Improvements after Renovations

If looking for the Luxury Experience perhaps one day it will be Esmeralda but for now it does not stand up to the experiences I have had both at Ambar and Fantasia. A portion of the staff certainly lacked experience. Guest experience for example could not be found at their designated station set up at the building entrance any of the numerous times we passed by. At the beginning of the stay a rep. was outside the breakfast buffet, noted a few requests we had (essential oil scented room and slip [... read more]pers) but never happened. On the last day met another rep. told him of this but by then too late. Another inconsistency was with the kid's club night entertainment. Timing of anything for the kids was a miss most nights. However, during the day the ladies were very good to look after the children. I would recommend Esmeralda but not to expect the luxury experience.

Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Nice Weekend Romantic Getaway, Not Recommended for Solo Travelers

Very nice resort but not worth the week stay. Pools close at 6:30, beach is closed at 7:30, lots of construction going on inside the halls and outside on the beach. Plenty of space and chairs by pool and on the beach but no relaxation with people selling items every two minutes. Food was excellent and service was amazing, Jean Carlos on pool side and multiple members at the restaurants and xhale breakfast are the only reason i did not cancel my plans early for a new location. Traveling o [... read more]ff resort by taxi will cost you $80-100 regardless where you go so pre-plan a travel service is highly recommended

Serenade Punta Cana Beach and Spa Resort: Well enjoyed

Hotel was aesthetically very nice. Rooms were clean and bug free (don’t leave your sliding door opened and you’ll have no issues. Rooms were cleaned daily- always had new towels and hot water. They originally faced us to construction which was not very nice; however, after going to front desk and they had us in a new room the next day which was pool view and much nicer view. Food was pretty good for a resort, no complaints. We did not end up going to any reserved dinners as they were too late an [... read more]d we were too hungry to wait. Pools were nice, they often moved around with where they had music- I’d have liked them to stick to one spot so we didn’t have to travel around. Pool grounds were extremely rough- my child’s feet were bleeding and the pool floor pretty well shredded through two pairs of water shoes. The beach had a lot of seaweed with the exception of a spot to the left. There was always chairs available at the pool and beach so that was nice. The sports bar was good and open late, beach truck had good hamburgers and hot dogs. Coffee bar was a very nice touch in the mornings and evenings. Not much to do in the evening- we did travel with a young child so we’re not that bothered about it as he was tired. They had nightly entertainment but the theatre is so incredibly hot that it was very difficult to sit through the hour. They have a kids water park but the big slides were too large for my child and the other kids pool was a bit too young for my child so there was not much for the in between stage. All in all it was a nice resort and I was pleased with it. It checked pretty well all the important boxes

Occidental Punta Cana: Beautiful Beach

The hotel was older, but very clean. Our room was in a nice central location, on the 3rd floor, with a high vaulted ceiling with a balcony overlooking one of the pools. The food in the buffet was average, not a huge selection, but okay. The specialty dining rooms were better. There were 3 large pools that looked lovely in photographs, however the majority of the pool area was so shallow (less than 2 feet deep) it wasn't possible to actually swim, and because the pools were so shallow the wat [... read more]er was so warm it was like stepping into bathwater - no way to cool off. The beach however, was beautiful. We were there in early June and it wasn't crowded. The sand was soft and the turquoise water was crystal clear. The entertainment was minimal - there were a couple of good shows. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing vacation you will enjoy the resort. The transfer from the airport to the hotel was terrible. After waiting on the bus to leave for over 45 minutes we finally took an Ubr

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Amazing Vacation

The hotel was beautiful, our room was always clean and well maintained, the grounds are absolutely gorgeous, the beach is the best beach in Punta Cana. Every day the maintenance team is washing the common areas. Most of the staff is wonderful, friendly and very accommodating. The entertainment team is great. Manuel & Carla at the reception are fantastic, Carlos at the snack bar is very hard working and always on top of his team providing top notch service, Felipe and Jose at the bar close th [... read more]e snack bar are always smiling upbeat and putting on a show. I’ve been to the Dominican 13times, first time to the Bahia Luxury Esmeralda, this was such a great vacation, will definitely return to this location.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Great food, Great time, Great service!

Second time at this resort. The food at the a la carte restaurants, the coffee at the Cafe was really good especially the Mongolian restaurant! The service from the beach server, the servers at the buffet restaurant and the omelet cooks, the butler at the villa, the hotel staff at the lobby ...all were so attentive and made sure we were looked after. There were 8 of us, we had an amazing time. The beach is literally right there. Enjoyed my vacation!

Riu Bambu: Fun but room for improvement

The good stuff: the beach is absolutely beautiful. We travelled in June and there was no sea weed at all. It was so much nicer than Bavaro beach. The staff are super friendly and fun. The food was actually pretty decent for Dominican from my experience at a few resorts. Breakfast was awesome, lots of selection and the fruit was amazing. We really liked Kulinarium for dinner but the other ala carte restaurants were meh. Beds were comfortable and the room was fairly clean. Housekeeping made up our [... read more] rooms every day which was nice. This resort is great for friends and a younger crowd. There was always music and dancing. It has a party vibe. I would not recommend the resort for families. The not so good stuff: the pools were really dirty and need more regular cleaning. The buildings are a little run down and in need of reburbishment. I would stay again with friends but not bring my family. There is no water park or splash pads for kids on the resort. You have to walk about 10 minutes to the water park which is fine but there is no bar or food once you are there. The booze is bottom shelf. Overall, the vibe was super fun and we had a great time. I would probably stay again for the price but hoping to try the palace next time.

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Punta Cana: Beautiful resort but way too big

This was a very well maintained and beautiful resort. Rooms were great, pools were fabulous. There was a few negatives. First, you had to pay for drinks at the casino. You had to walk so far for certain things....they did have a shuttle though. Limited menu for room service. Snorkeling excursion was 4 hrs and only did 10 minutes of Snorkeling. Did not have empathy for kids with special needs. Other then that it was great. Would not go there again though.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Will Definitely Visit Again!

Thank you Karol Chareza from tripcentral for recommending this resort. We visited this resort just a week ago and can't wait to go back ..My husband and I travelled with another couple and had a fabulous time .Can not complain about anything. We stayed at Colonial Adult only and highly recommend it..Marlbin was our butler, ask for him if you go. He met us everyday to see what we needed. Greeted us every morning with "Hola , Good Morning" by Whats Ap. He organized a romantic dinner on the beach f [... read more]or us as we were celebrating our anniversary and our friends birthday. When we arrived back to our rooms from the beach to get ready for dinner ,he had our rooms decorated with balloons , banners, rose pedals in the jacuzzi all set with bubbles. The dinner was at an extra cost but well worth the experience. We were fortunate to get reservations in the restaurants and enjoyed every meal. Grounds are immaculate. Our room with jacuzzi was perfect. View of the pool and ocean, great size balcony. All the staff we came across were very hard working , polite and ready to meet your needs. From bartenders to waitstaff to housekeeping and the gardener who had a smile for us every morning. We will be back, Everything was EXCELENTE!!!!!

Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort: Would not recommend

I was disappointed in this resort. The room was not clean, sheets were stained, the food was not the best and we found a huge cockroach in our room. This resort definitely needs more English speaking employees as we found it difficult to communicate. The website indicates a 4.5 star rating but would only give it 2.5.

Riu Palace Punta Cana: Good Resort

The room we got (3113) was fantastic. However, the beach area had no palapa’s and the chairs were horribly old and disgusting. On this basis we stayed around the pool. Cleanliness around the pool areas was less than desirable. The beach itself was great. The food and drinks were very good. The service and staff were excellent.

Grand Bavaro Princess: Wonderful Resort

From check in to departure this hotel checked the boxes for us. We were platinum and were close to beach platinum pool coffee house etc. The check in went great and quick with Juan and we were able to eat at PBG after getting to our room. The restaurants (steakhouse Mexican Italian Tanuki) as well as the Sports bar and main buffet were good. The rooms clean and mini fridge stocked and restocked daily, The beach is excellent we did not get to the main pool and the platinum and quiet pool were bus [... read more]y. The grounds are immaculate. The Royal people are there but didn't seem to bother anyone that we saw. I would not hesitate to recommend this resort as the price vs. resort makes it one of the best we have been to.
