Breathless Punta Cana Resort: Awesome staff!!

Staff are really friendly and constantly making sure that all your needs are met. Very impressive customer service! We highly recommend this resort for folks between the age of 35-55. We did appreciate the amenities of the exhale club....excellent value for money.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Amazing holiday!

The hotel itself was great; grounds super! Staff really nice and helpful. Ran out of towels a few days - perhaps there should be a dedicated area for the Royal Club clients for towels. Other than that it was very busy but absolutely no problem in our case.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Fantastic resort!

Resort is superb. Food is terrific. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Rooms are big and spacious. A great thank you to Kevin the Guest Sevices Manager and Rene our Guest Relations person. We ate at the Don Pablo, Mikado Teppanyaki and Portofino. We had a Gran Bahia spa relaxing carribean massage. We played a round of golf on the superb Robert Trent Jones Riviera Maya golf course. Overall we had a terrific holiday and would return in a flash!

Riu Bambu: Overall good resort for the money.

This hotel had great al la cartes. The grounds were well kept. Rooms were great. Lots of activities through the day to keep you entertained and at night. Staff were friendly. Didn't have to wait much in lines for the buffets. Beach was nice.

Wyndham Alltra Samana: Surprisingly great resort

The amenities around the resort are great. The grounds are well kept and very beautiful to walk through. The staff was very friendly and always ready to help even with their limited ability to speak English. The beach was beautiful. The food was very good in the buffet restaurant and the a la carte restaurant offered tasty and we'll presented. My husband and I would definitely go back again.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Outstanding Resort

I went with a group of 10, all with high expectations. I can honestly say that we all left with not one complaint aside from our holiday ending! The staff are all so kind and go out of their way to remember you, always with a smile and wanting to ensure you are enjoying yourself. I am personally very aware of my surroundings and like things to be very clean. My room, the restaurants, the buffet meals, entertainment areas and even the halls shine from being cleaned constantly. Truly brilliant!! T [... read more]he only complaint that was shared by most of the 10 is the bathroom in the rooms could stand a couple more lights. Having said that there is a wall mounted make-up mirror that is a treat. We checked and the bathrooms were very clean both in our rooms and the other ones as well. This certainly would not keep any of us from returning, it is just a suggestion to strive for all around excellence!

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: 80% Pleased

80% Pleased. Food was not the best, rooms were ok. Beach was good, bars were good, entertainment was good. All excursions were very good. Staff were very accomadating and friendly. Next time our group travels, I will do my best to convince them to do a 5 star and do it in Puenta Cana.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Me Encanta Punta Cana!

I visited this resort in 1999 on my very first trip south/to an all-inclusive. Since then I have been to Nassau, Varadero, Cozumel, Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Maya, and Antigua and have never found anything that compares to Punta Cana, namely for the beach. It is absolutely incredible! Unless you're not a fan of coconut palms, white sand, or calm turquoise ocean. The resort, though just an average 3.5 star resort 15 years ago (and take note that the tripcentral photos are from that time, not curre [... read more]nt, check the tour operator photos for current ones), has been completely renovated and upgraded. So much so that it was unrecognizable. I would have had no idea I had returned to the same place (though I believe this adults only section has been moved down the beach a touch) if not for the beach and knowing we had been at this far end of Bavaro beach. I spent all day every day on this beach and could not have been happier. I spent no time in the pool area but it did look nice, clean, and had some areas shaded by canvas. The room buildings are three storeys, ocean front, plantation style I would say with palmed courtyards in between them and within them. My first room was in building 1 overlooking the theatre and lobby bar so I asked to move (which could only be accomodated two nights later) since I like to go to bed early/rise early. It was quite loud until midnight/1am ish. My second room was in building 5 and was very quiet. Though for some reason did not have the lovely blue accent wall, bedskirts, and drapes (instead they were maroon and gold, not nearly as tropical). The beds, pillows were quite comfortable. Minibar refilled daily. Bathrobe and slippers. In room safe (no fee). Large double sinked vanity area of the bathroom. No complaints there. Food was good, lots of variety. I only went to the buffets, El Caribe (main buffet) and La Brisa (lunch only). And the views while you're eating are wonderful especially at La Brisa as it juts right onto the beach. Service was good. I was maybe a little neglected being solo I felt, they seemed friendlier with couples, groups. One difference I noticed since originally visiting is that they all speak very good english and almost insist on it even when you speak spanish to them. In this way I kind of felt the resort had lost some of its Dominican charm since I'd first been. Also I remember merengue and other latin music being constant back in 1999 but now the resort plays zen type music coming out of rock-shaped speakers lining the footpaths and elevator music ABBA covers on repeat at the buffet. That was really disappointing. I missed being immersed in that part of their culture. The little bit the Actividades team played and coming from the tour boats passing by the beach had to suffice. Walking down the beach was a lovely daily routine, for me and a lot of other people. To the left there is a "local" area with a shopping "complex", beach bar, and "marina" where a lot of tourboats seemed to depart from. Then another resort (the Mariana?), another "local" area, then the Melia resort. That's as far as I went and could happily confirm the Barcelo has the best beach (though the view out to sea has been ruined by a couple platforms, one is the dolphin tour I know). Walking to the right is the Palace Deluxe section of the Barcelo resort and then an amazing stretch of virgin beach. I especially loved that walk. Grounds around the resort are immaculate and workers were always busy on the beach cleaning up any seaweed washing ashore. The actual beach chairs are the best I've ever seen at an all inclusive and never had any issues getting beach towels replaced. This was my first time to an adults only resort and had never had any "issues" with the children at other resorts but I was quite glad I had chosen to stay here instead of at the Palace section as it was an absolute zoo, I'd never seen so many families with young children on vacation. The quiet at the Beach section was very nice. And it is just a much more pleasant atmosphere at the Beach section all around. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this resort. Of course there are fancier, higher-end resorts out there but if you want a true beach vacation, I can't fathom any place better than the Barcelo Bavaro Beach.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: The "Level" is the only way to go!

The "Level" is the only way to go! Excellent service, very nice room, great food, beautiful resort, very clean. We stayed in the adults only section. No lineups for anything. The 4 restaurants in the Level lounge are very good. The resort is massive but golf carts are available 24hrs to take you wherever you like.

Grand Sirenis Tropical Suites: This was an amazing resort!

We just returned from a one week vacation at the Sirenis Tropical Resorts. My sister and I took our aging parents and have to say our stay was even better than anticipated. The grounds are beautiful and well mainted. Lots of flowers in bloom. The walkways are easy for seniors and well lit up at night. Food is excellent with lots of selection. Have been to several resorts in Punta Cana and this resort is as good or better than the others. My parents would like to go back next year.

Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort: wonderful sun and fun

we had 13 of us, 2 14 year olds and the rest adults and we had a great time no complaints at all the place was beautiful and clean good food and we had 1 guy who ate 24/7 he loved it. the service was great the maids were great the pool was clean the beach was wonderful and the snokeling was nice and you did not have to go out far to do it. If I was to complain it would only to be at night in the beautiful lobby they had needed intertainment (music) for dancing I like to dance with my husband oth [... read more]er than that it was great.

Whala Bavaro: 2 star resort

you get what you pay for...rooms were subpar...salt water showers...very rustic in need of some needed upgrades. Staff was nice and food was average but staff at reception was not always available. Will not be back.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: we loved it

Everyone was so nice food good, loved the beach and the pools very pretty grounds, . The only thing was sand flies, bring bug stuff for before and after the bits. Also when you buy WiFi keep that little card you get sometimes you need it to re log in, And the fried cheese is amazing, wish they had it everyday

Grand Palladium Palace: Beautiful resort and great service!!

We loved food, there was more than enough variety of food. We tried 3 restaurants and service was very good. we loved the resort beautiful beach. Resort has a market too. It is a huge resort so there is enough to walk around.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Peaceful Beach!

The premises are well maintained, the food is good (not excellent), good services, nice beach, very friendly staff! Could have more activities and improve the food, but overall a very good place to relax and forget about the every day hassle!

Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort: Slightly Above average overall

The resort had great landscaping. Beach was spacious and pools. Only two complaints...food was below average, meat over cooked and food was sometimes hard and dry. Other downfall is the majority of the staff could not speak English...mostly spoke Spanish. Kids had a great time overall. The front desk was too lay back. Had to complain about our room with the strong smell of cleaning chemical they try to use to cover the smoking and mouldy room. Kept asking me to come back in 2-4 hours and to spea [... read more]k to supervisor. Spoke to 8 different person and with persistency finally got a room change the second day. I had some reaction to the air in the room that took me 3 days to clear my lungs and 2 restless nights. Staff were friendly in the restaurants n through out the hotel...just didn't speak English

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Excellent place for vacation.

We had a great time. Well keep place staff where amazing. The only thing that I had an issue was the Le carte were not all free. It was an all incluse vacation but 2 of the dinners. The best food on the menu you had to pay for. The Japanese restaurant was amazing and all free.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Welcome Home to my Dominican Place

This is a Great Resort if you want a smaller resort to stay at. The rooms have been renovated & are well kept. Food is VERY GOOD with lots of variety to choose from. There is always HOT WATER to shower !!!!!!!!! We travelled on March 26/15 and the flights were on time........transfer to resort well managed and our room was ready when we checked in.

The beach has great sand...... [... read more]....no sharp coral and is well patrolled. This was our second stay & there was a banner on our door "Welcome Back"

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Nice resort, but very hilly.

We had a nice room overlooking the ocean. Make sure you get the upgrade because the rooms in the older section are very small and outdated. The food and service at the buffet and the Italian a la carte were excellent. The beach had a lot of seaweed and was quite murky, but the pools were good. The whole resort is built on a hill, so from the beach up to the lobby was a minimum of 5-6 flights of stairs with uphill pathways in between....a bit tiring if you're making that trek several times a day. [... read more] We enjoyed our trip for the most part, but would not book at this resort again.

Grand Sirenis Tropical Suites: Great family resort

I read some bad reviews about this resort before going and was worried. However it was a great resort. Food was good and our room was nice on the tropical suits side. Building I. People were helpful, friendly and nice. Overall I would rate this resort a 4*.
