Riu Palace Punta Cana: Fantastic Resort

Everything about this report was absolutely fantastic and the staff was incredible. No complaints at all. Only iffy thing was room service food but you can definitely go to the buffet and sports bar for any snacks.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Great Experience!

Great resort with great people! Good food, generous portions, clean rooms and facilities. Staff are very kind and want to ensure you have a great experience in the resort. Somewhat of a language barrier with the staff at times, but nothing that can’t be managed with some basic knowledge of Spanish words and saying, which is easy to come by at a resort this size.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Great Staff, great food & fun!

The BlueBay Villas Dorada is smaller resort with a great set-up. It is easy to find your way around. The food is great with so many options and varieties each day. The staff is friendly and fun. The Entertainment crew were the highlight of our two week stay, getting to see them for games on the beach in the morning and games at the pool each afternoon. Then the evening shows were always so much fun and entertaining. Sure, the resort could use some updates, which they are in the process of doin [... read more]g. If your room has a problem and you let them know, it gets fix quickly. I have been twice already with plans to go back :)

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Fantastic resort and complex!

We had a fantastic trip! Highlights include: - stayed in renovated rooms closer to the beach - thoroughly enjoyed breakfasts at the restaurant by the beach - beautiful beach, water and fun water sports - very clean grounds as staff worked all day cleaning - very fun animation activities if you are interested - played pickleball every morning! - enjoyed lots of walking around the beautiful enormous complex - friendly staff throughout Suggestion for future guests: bring and wear bug spra [... read more]y at night if you are prone to bug bites This is our second time at the Bahia in Punta Cana and we will definitely be returning!

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Lovely setting

The grounds were amazing! People were always taking care of it. The room/accommodations were comfortable, though I thought a "Junior Suite" would be a bit larger. It was basically a "room". Because of mobility issues, we requested a ground level room, which we had. The beds were comfortable, but the mattresses needed to be turned/flipped. You could tell that guests sat on one edge of each bed as they sagged on that side. The bathroom was dangerous. Really, room for only one person at a time a [... read more]s the open door hit the toilet. The tub was a shocker! It was difficult to step into and it was very narrow, making it too difficult to get down into and then up out of. I tried it only once. After our first slippery use we realized that we had to wear our crocs in order to get in and out for the shower. The fridge was refreshed with water and pop daily. The A.C. barely worked in room 709. Thank heavens for the fan. The food was plentiful, but by day 5 I was starting to feel it to be a bit repetitious. Lots to eat though. The staff were friendly and always desiring to be of assistance. It was a LONG DRIVE to/from the airport.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Excellent

This was our 4th time here. Expected things to be run down a bit over the years, but not disappointed at all. Food was great, grounds were immaculate, and the room was recently renovated. The staff were very friendly. Highly recommended.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Amazing pool and location

Second time to this hotel. April 2025 - Beach in puerto plata was wavy (yellow flag) or closed due to a storm. No green flag In 2 weeks due to storm passing by? Amazing pool. First time To this resort. Nov 2023 no bacon in two Weeks. April 2025 Bacon every second day. Amazing rolls and breads. Air conditioner worked great! Excellent price for a vacation!!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Easy failsafe

Been to the luxury Ambar 2x now have to say both times was very pleased, went last year around the same time, weather was great some days a little rain but lots of sun and humid! We have done the swim out rooms both times and enjoy it very much. Fun to have a night at your room and order the room service for dinner!! Staff are great, remembered us from last year, service was good, food and drinks were great! They did a cool beach party during the day with food which was a new thing they were [... read more] trying out and I believe it was a success - hoping if I go back they would do it again!! Entertainment is always good, doesn’t matter if you don’t like what Ambar has to offer there are plenty of options all around and they are very easy to get to. For nightlife we went to sports bar because it was nhl and nba playoffs so every night was a great vibes!! Get the mozzarella sticks Casino is fun and disco is good but opens at 11pm!! Would say it is a great resort for couples or groups of friends!

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Relaxing Week

This was our third time at this resort. It has a vey "chill" vibe to it. The beach is amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The resort is very clean. It never seemed busy, even though I was told the resort was at 90% occupancy. I strongly recommend this resort and will definitely return again.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: VH Gran Ventana Far exceeded our expectations!

We were part of a group of 12 (ages 13-74) and we all agreed that this was one of our favourite resorts of all time. The proximity to the airport was just the beginning, we were on our way to our rooms within a reasonable time upon arriving to the resort. Our rooms were clean, beds were comfy, lots of blankets and pillows, the quality of the beds was comparable to hotels in Canada. Beds were made daily and towels were replaced every morning by friendly housekeepers. The food choices were plentif [... read more]ul and there was always lots of food to eat no matter what time you arrived at the buffet. Even the pickiest eaters can find lots to choose from. Pasta and salad bars, fruit and cheese as well as a grill station with several options including a different theme each night- American, Chinese, Italian etc... The centrally located pools (1 large pool divided into 3 separate sections) and pool bar provided loungers, tables and umbrellas for the guests with music, volleyball, floaties and interactive games throughout the day. Sign up as soon as you arrive for a la carte dinners or you could miss out- they fill up quickly- we often chose the buffet because there were more choices for everyone! The beach is beautiful, lots of loungers, a beach bar and lunch restaurant with pizza, nachos, wings and more! We highly recommend this resort and would not hesitate to return! NO complaints at all!

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Lots of fun!

The resort has alot more than what is said online, they have foam parties, silent disco nights and fun things to do during the day while being around the pool. A lot of fun for younger adults! The food was pretty good and many different options to pick from for dinner, either buffet or making a reso at one of the restaurants. Many different pools, and easy and fast walk to the beach.

Occidental Caribe: Icky showers

Rooms were only fine at best. Shower was very subpar. Leaked water everywhere and staff never left enough towels. Employees would enter room without knocking first and couldn’t or wouldn’t speak any English.

Occidental Caribe: Occidental Caribe

ONeil did a great job helping us book our trip. We upgraded to premium level which is where the resort fell short. The rooms were ok at best. The shower wasn’t pleasant or what I would call premium level. Very dated and in much need of proper repairs.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Great stay

Hotel is nothing short of excellent. Highly recommend it. We went last November. Came with our family this time. Going again in late November to watch Christmas lites liight up. Again great stay

Serenade All Suites Adults Only Resort: Awesome resort

Great resort, with friendly staff. We really enjoyed the great a la carte restaurants. The beach and pools were really nice. The rooms were clean with a comfy bed! Would highly recommend this resort.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Great vacation spot

The resort as a whole was very good. The staff were always pleasant and happy. The room was clean and well stocked, the pools were clean and always warm. The only draw back was the lack of lobby bar staff which created a longer wait for beverages

Viva Miches by Wyndham: Nice resort

The resort it self is beautiful, but to far from the airport 2 hour transfer is to much also the workers have to be more trained on making drinks and service. The buffet is not the best food was only warm most times and you are sitting on plastic chairs with no tables cloths and after tou eat the tables are sometimes just brushed off not cleaned properly. The alacartes on the other hand were amazing, service was great food and presentation was amazing .

Paradisus Palma Real Golf and Spa Resort: A Great Resort

This was definitely the best spot I've visited in the Dominican Republic after going there about six times. The food was awesome, but the nighttime buffet got moved to a smaller beachside restaurant, and the food was cold with limited options. The hotel staff were super friendly.

Grand Bavaro Princess: Great resort!

This was my first time being at a resort, and I must say, I picked a good one! The grounds and landscape of this resort was one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen, and the rooms were all newly renovated, with stand alone tubs, huge showers, and two sinks. The balcony was very big and the whole room was modern looking. Now onto the food… most people say that you don’t go to a resort for the food, but I was proven wrong. The buffet was average, but had good options still, but the al la cartes  [... read more]were amazing! Specifically the Italian pizza, Italian pasta, and teppanyaki, were all fancy style top quality restaurants I’d see at home. The pool was big with a swim up bar, beach was great with comfy chairs and white sand, and the staff was amazing!
