Grand Palladium Palace: Beautiful resort....but!

We had a 14 day stay at the Palace in march 2015. Beautiful beach and grounds. Food is good with lots of a la carte restaurants. This resort is very busy! We we're given a room in the 92 block. It was under construction! So...2 weeks of hammering, cutting, drilling in our building, from 7 am to 7 pm. Sometimes no water, no electricity. Our card reader for the door stopped working upon arrival, took a while to get fixed. Same with electricty slot inside room...card did not work...so no electricit [... read more]y! We spent a lot of time at front desk begging for another room. Overbooked!! Would I go back? Maybe not. When they say first impression is a lasting impression...the bad made our stay very unpleasant from day 1.

Occidental Punta Cana: Fantastic vacation!

If you want a clean, well laid out resort, this one fits the bill. Set in the central area of Bavaro beach, you can walk the beach in either direction until you tire out. Beautiful beach area, meandering pools. It offers quiet areas to relax, or fun areas to participate and interact with other vacationers. The staff was fantastic, always stopped what they were doing to assist you. Decent entertainment, decent a la cartes, and many choices for food (away from the a la cartes) and drinks. Vendors  [... read more]nearby, and good service for excursions. My rating of this resort would be 90%, which is about as high as you can expect.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Not much better

This was our second trip to the majestic,and it was better than the first visit.we were 4 fifty something's who found almost everything to their liking.amazing is the word for the upkeep of the buildings but the grounds keeping is unbelievable. Beautifull setting with all the lush growth that has been painstakingly cultivated and manicured.. The only issue,and it really didn't hurt our vacation was the two meals eaten at the seafood and the rodeo(steakhouse). Some work is needed in the kitchens. [... read more] Slower service than what we received anywhere else on the resort, and still wrong meals showed up. Nothing major, but a little work and these two resturants will be up to the calibre of the rest of the resort. A special mention to marilyn and venis in the lobby bar who made us welcome every evening before supper and afterwards. This will be our go to resort in punta Cana . Thanks to all Regards The Canadian crew

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Resort was cosy, quite small but had the amenities

Hotel was nice, although plumbing was slow. Dining area was large and plenty of seating, food was good, although breakfast was the same daily. Grounds were well maintained, beach was close by, easy to get to and was clean.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Bahia Principe in Samana, DR

Everywhere we went, the grounds were spotless. The staff were so much fun and always there to help. There was a huge variety of foods to choose from and everything was so fresh. The rooms were big and clean. The views from this location were spectacular.

Punta Cana Princess: Very friendly and good service

we enjoyed our stay, food was excellent the staff was very friendly and courteous. Rooms are very nice and well kept. Souper a la carte was excellent. I really enjoyed the BBQ on the beach and the activities at the lobby at knight.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Great vacation for everyone

Five of us travelled to this resort April 1-8, 2015. My grandparents, my husband, my son, and I. We had a nice and relaxing holiday. There was a lot to do. The animation team was very friendly and busy with volleyball, archery, bingo, water exercises, yoga, etc. My husband took part, but I'm 6 months pregnant and really just wanted to lay back and relax by the pool with my 14 month old boy. We all found something to do.. Scott won a few of their various tournaments, my grandparents enjoyed sitti [... read more]ng by the theatre in the shade watching everyone. They also enjoyed the night entertainment. My son LOVED the main pool, where he could just walk in until he got deep enough for his comfort. He was swimming (with help of his water wings) by the end of the week. The room was dated and a little smaller than what I've had at other resorts, but it was clean. I was told that all of the suites are in the "A" block, which are those closest to the beach. We had a beautiful view of the beach. We were pretty far away from the lobby. They had originally given us two bedrooms with a door connecting them... I spoke to Juan Reyes in guest services on our second day, and he put us in the suite that we had booked. My grandparents were next to us and had to move closer to the lobby, as my grandfather needs a wheelchair for a distance like that. They were very accommodating. The food was good. We always found something to eat. We all enjoyed the omelette station. The staff at the restaurants were super accommodating to us. They loved our baby, and kept him smiling and laughing during every meal. It was a very nice trip.. The only thing is that it was a little dated. I hear they're closing May 5th until sometime in October to upgrade, so I'm sure that after their renovations it will be just perfect. I would recommend this resort for couples of any age, and families. There is something for everyone.

Cayo Levantado Resort: Beautiful Resort

The Luxury Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado is truly a luxury resort. It is situated on an island surrounded by lush, tropical forest and gardens. We had a Superior Junior Suite with a breathtaking view of the ocean. The room was beautiful and spacious. The restaurants served delicious food and the drinks were refreshing. There are two pools, a private beach and a public beach where tourists from other resorts can visit for the day. The staff were friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this res [... read more]ort

Blau Natura Park Resort: Amazing value

This resort was great! The food was excellent, staff was awesome and the grounds were beautiful, also the bed are very comfy! There were a few small maintenance issues, ie balcony light was broken air conditioning was mediocre. But all in all it was a great value for the price! We all had an awesome family vacation!

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Amazing vacation

Fantastic resort, with amazing staff. The entertainment staff are the highlight with Shorty, Coco, Carlos. Food, rooms, resort are excellente. The vendors at the beach are a bit of a pain, but if you're assertive enough, they leave you alone. We would definitely go back.

Cayo Levantado Resort: Absolutely amazing and beautiful resort

The resort was private and fantastic in every way. We had no complaints at all. The room, restaurants, staff, grounds etc were above and beyond my expectations. I am not a resort kind of person and have had some bad experiences at other resorts. We will be coming back to this resort for sure next year. The travellers and management photos were spot on...to be honest the management photos were most like the resort is like than the travellers photos. Very impressed with every part of our stay.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Excellent resort

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Very well maintained. Food is great, a wide variety of food. Rooms are beautiful and spacious. Staff is very helpful and courteous. There is always someone around to help.

Emotions by Hodelpa Puerto Plata: my kind of resort

The resort was a perfect size. It was convenient to get around easily. Staff was great. Buffet wasn't large but food was better than other resorts. Room was renovated and clean. Entertainment staff was very good

Occidental Punta Cana: Great vacation!

The resort was overall great! Good was amazing especially the steak restaurant. The escursions were really fun! The bathroom was not good at all and there was water all over the room from the tub leaking. The staff was extremely friendly too. Would recommend.

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Wonderful place to stay!!

Rooms are nothing great and grand, definitely could stand some upgrading, but remember that this is only a three star resort. Everything else is five star quality!! Grounds are absolutely beautiful, immaculately kept, the food is great, the liquor is strong, everything is in close proximity, from rooms, to beach, to pools, to restaurants is just a very short jaunt!! Staff is unfailingly friendly and helpful. We went for one week, loved it so much we stayed for two!! We will definitely be returni [... read more]ng!!

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Great Vacation!

This resort was clean and the food was very good! Beautiful scenery and beach. The only downfall (which was not a real biggie) was the replenishing of towels for our room as we did not get clean towels until late afternoon. We would definitely go back!

Ancora Private Residence Yacht Club and Marina: Very pleasant resort

Lovely resort. Check in was very quick and efficient. As it was our wedding anniversary we were pleasantly surprise when they upgraded our apartment which was enormous. The food and staff were amazing. The beach was very small and unfortunately after two days we were unable to swim as there was to much seaweed (even though the staff tried to clear it away) The staff were very helpful and the entertainment was very good. Everything was very clean .

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Great resort and weather

Ambar was the nicest section of the report and is highly recommended. Good food, great wait staff and polls. Only drawback was hotel staff only recommended off site excursions to affiliated organizations.

Sunscape Puerto Plata: Great Week at Barcelo, DR

We had a great time, food was good, pool area was great, beach was good I didn't go in, not as nice as Punta Cana but I'm a pool person. We paid under thousand each so I can't complain. Don't listen to negative reviews, nothing is perfect.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Quick get away for two!

We loooooooved our stay at this resort. We read a lot of reviews before booking. Keep in mind we were searching for a great deal and hoping we we would get lucky. For this resort the price was right for our last minute retreat and we were prepared to get what we paid for. In the end it exceeded our expectations. Meeting people around the resort we heard stories of people not having hot water, hating the food, finding bugs in their room. Fortunately we had hot showers every day, loved the food an [... read more]d had no unwanted visitors. I would agree with some of the reviews I had read before leaving, which was this resort is not for you if you don't want to climb some stairs. The beach is all the way down and the main pool and buffet is at the top. We didn't mind as or room was in the middle. The beach was just ok, you can walk down the beach, go for a swim and there were lots of activities such as parasailing, tubing, etc. but the main beach area that is shown in some of the pictures is actually up off the beach in a glass fenced in area so you weren't as close to the water as I would have liked. We ended up spending the majority of our time at the pools which was great because there are lots of them!:) All in all we had a great trip. Nice room, good food, friendly staff. I would go back again!
