Cayo Levantado Resort: Absolutely first class resort

Beautiful grounds, great swimming options including ocean and large pools, fantastic food, top notch service. Quiet resort, and not the place if you are looking for any wild parties. Clients were middle aged+, but there were a few younger couples. This resort would be extremely hard to beat.

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: punta cana

The resort was lovely the people super nice and very attentive. My only issue was the insane hard sell of the star club I said not interested repeatedly my husband unfortunately got us involved with a tour and it took us a while to get away from the sales lecture .I will not accept a free vacation with a sales pitch attached why would I take time out from our vacation to listen to the hard sell. Other than that, our ac was fixed promptly the food was great and life was good though losing a day t [... read more]o a commercial was very unfortunate

Sunscape Puerto Plata: Another wonderfull vacation March 6-27-2015

This was our fifth visit to the Barcelo and we love it. The people and staff are so nice and will go out of their way to help you. Sometimes when requesting help the language is a bit of a problem but that makes it interesting. You're never quite sure what you will get and it is quite funny at times. We used Club Premium this year and really love the amenities you receive there, especially getting the eggs cooked just the way you like them in the morning. The food at the buffet is good and if  [... read more]you can't find something to eat that you like you're not trying. The only thing wrong with the buffet food is that it is not hot but his is typical in the Caribbean I think. The fresh fruit and juices are to die for I went into pineapple withdrawal when we came home. We love the Sea food, Italian and most of all the Japanese restaurants. The pizza is good but more suited to the young crowd. We did not care for the Brazilian but, a lot of people did it is your individual taste but not ours. I have read a lot of negative remarks about this hotel and I can't believe them. Lots of people that we talked to believe that it could possibly be by other hotels posting them. We talked to some people from Nova Scotia who hadn't been back for five years because of these postings. They couldn't believe it they felt that the Barcelo had improved and got better over the years. If you are looking for glitz and glamor in the rooms it's not here. If you want a room with a comfortable bed, a clean washroom, a beautiful beach and wonderful staff then this is the place for you. The gardens are beautiful and maintained by the hard working staff at the Barcelo who spend all day raking and cleaning. They are to be commended for their hard work. Too many of us forget about all the work that is required to keep the gardens looking so nice. After the morning cleaning of the beach a large patch of sea weeds and small twigs washed into the beach; there must have been a storm at sea. The Barcelo crew came down and cleaned it up and I will tell you that the other hotels didn't do that, thank you Barcello ground keepers. We did notice and thank you for your hard work. I have only one more thing to say thank you Barcelo for our wounderful vacations with you and we will see you again in 2016

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Very beautiful and charming.Lots to do

Beautiful,Lots of privacy, noise free, service good,Occasionally was difficult to get directions from the staff. Lack of English speaking staff. Directions were quite frustrating. However we found our way around via the very good on grounds cute little taxi wagons. Almost no waiting.

Whala Bavaro: good value for money spent

The resort is small and well kept ,the rooms were clean and comfortable ,the buffet served 3 meals a day and the selection was great , prepared and presented well.They also have a snack bar at the beach ,hotdogs, burgers, and fries all good. The staff was friendly. For me the important part of my holiday was access to Bavaro beach, it is a beautiful coral sand beach that goes for miles. I was very happy with my holiday.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Great Resort

We just returned from a 7 day stay at Cofresi (April 6 - 13). Had a fabulous and relaxing time! The grounds are very clean and well kept, room was a bit outdated but clean and did the trick for us (sleep & shower)! Food was really good, highly recommend The Asian and Italian a la cartes, buffet was very good as well, great variety! The VIP party and the Sunday night party was supperb!! Resort is pretty big with lots of stairs but there is shuttles going on a regular basis. Beware of the guys in  [... read more]the beige shirts unless interested in a time share - you will loose a half day of your vacation!! I would go back for sure!!

Cayo Levantado Resort: Great relaxing resort

Beautiful resort. Great service. Very quiet and relaxing. Never had to wait for anything. Plenty of chairs by pool and beach available every day. Good food. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing vacation.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: great resort if you are a member

the resort is nice and clean, food is good, service is ok, the vip parties are amazing but in order to enjoy everything the y have to offer you need to be a lifestyle member, they really try hard to get you to join this.makes you feel like you are inferior to others if you don't have a vip bracelet, so would I go back .... ummm no thanks

Ancora Private Residence Yacht Club and Marina: Awesome resort

This place was paradise and well maintained. The staff was curtious and professional, and the food at the restraunts and buffet was great. I'd say the only draw back was the construction that was going on. Thank you Alsol great vacation

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: A wonderful and relaxing vacation

We spent a week at the hotel and we have nothing but great things to say about it. Our room was clean and spacious, the food was very good (we loved the à la carte restaurants), the service was very friendly, the pool was fun and the beach was beautiful. We would go back again and would recommend the resort to others!

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: It was ok

It was an ok place to stay. I'm not one to complain but everything added up. Ac/fridge and tv did not work and no one came when we called. Food was garbage and beach wasn't cleaned in the morning seaweed everywhere! The pool was always dirty! Would not stay there again!

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Nice Resort

We enjoyed or 14 nights at the Be Live. The rooms were clean and the food was great. The a la carts were the best. We did not like the insecticide spray they used in the hallway outside our room. We were in block 8 from Mar 27 to April 10th. Overall we had a great vacation. The pool was nice and the ocean was a bit rough. There was a lot of garbage on the beach down from the resort. It was pretty nasty to see so much of it.

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Punta Cana: No complaints at all

Very large resort. Lots of pools - as loud or quiet or kid friendly as you like. Huge clean rooms, large shower stalls and a hot tub. Big balconies. Food was very good, loved the Caribbean buffet, lots of a la carte choices too. Especially liked the Brazilian steak house (Ipanema), pizza place (Pizetto) and the Japanese restaurant (Zen). Great coffee bar on the main drag. 2 really nice features - wi fi better than I have at home that worked EVERYWHERE on the resort - great for sending iMessages  [... read more]or BBMs. Free calls to North America. If you like large resorts this is the best I have stayed at.

Paradise Playa Dorada: Breath taking

Beautiful and super clean resort. Food was Favb couldn't ask for better. Service was great cant complain :) Excursions was organized and came on time. Lots to do for excursions but not so much on the resort.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Amazing Resort

We had an amazing 2 weeks and the weather was great. We left on March 27, 2015 and returned April 10th. We have been to this resort about 15 times and we always have a wonderful time and stay for 2 weeks. All the staff know us and always have a smile or a hug. We are very comfortable here. The food is good, the management treat us like family and we are able to go off the resort to shop or just go for a walk. It is only about 20 minutes from the airport as well. We have taken a few of our friend [... read more]s there and they would like to return there as well. Our regards to the Manager, Oscar, and the staff who strive to give everyone a great experience. We hope to book again around November. William and Theresa

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Fantastic resort!

Our group of 17 stayed there April 3 - 10. The resort was clean, the food was great, the beach was raked daily so no seaweed to deal with. Our beach bartender, Francisco was attentive and more than happy to please. Miguel, the beach boy cleaned our loungers and our sandy feet with his wonderful broom (tickle, tickle). The lobby is quite quiet but there are plenty of other areas on the resort if you're looking for wilder entertainment. We visited 4 a la cadres with great meals. The pool area was [... read more] hopping with entertainment all day and we spent some great time at the swim-up bar. I wouldn't hesitate to return to this resort.

Catalonia Bavaro Resort: Nice vacation

This was our second time at the Catalonia. It was nice to see some upgrades with the lobby area and the rooms. Food was good grounds were beautiful. Beach was lovely but unfortunately not enough chairs. Too bad so many upset, frustrated people, such an easy fix. Rooms where clean, but there was a sewer Odour that occasionally came from our airconditioning vent. Very offensive at times. Lots of young children. All in all, we were with good friends . Good memories.

Vista Sol Punta Cana: Very good

I just returned from my vacation at Vista Sol and it was a very good vacation the staff was excellent my husband was sick the firth night propebly a virus and the doctor on the resort was very good there we very caring even the nurse they stay in our room most off the day . We had the swim up room excellent the food was good . The grounds were beautiful it was allways clean . The beach was beautiful allways clean to I love my stay the only complain I could said was are guide was unrespectable .

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Fantastic Resort

The grounds were impeccable. With the wide variety of food there is something there to appeal to everyone. The room we stayed in was clean and the service we had was great. Public areas I used were very clean as well. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Bahia Principe Grand Samana Roulette: WOWZA!!

This resort is beautiful! The view is breath taking and the staff makes it so enjoyable!! The food was good- especially at the A la Carte restaurants, but the buffet didn't really change over the week. Wifi is included, but you need your own electronics to use it for free, otherwise it is $8 USD for the hour on their computers.
