Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Great resort, food was boring

Very clean. Staff were great. A bit expensive for what you get. Looking forward in seeing the other Bahai resorts. |This was my second time to this resort. In the amber you are very close to the pool and beach

Catalonia Royal Bavaro: Beautiful

The rooms was awesome and clean. The only thing disappointing were the weeds in the water and on the beach although they worked all day at keeping it clean. Food was good but sometime seemed not cooked enough. Wasn't not impressed with the lack of money exchange at the front desk. No ATM on site the one at the market did not work so you were not able to access more money. The stores only took credit cards or charging to your room.

Secrets Royal Beach: Amazing beach, fantastic staff and very relaxing.

At first we were quite disappointed when we arrived, we booked a swim up room and were told they upgraded us to an ocean view room (view was from the corner), we told the guy at check in that we specifically booked a swim up and we wanted it, I said just tell us it's not available today and he said you are right, it's not available today but we will move you to the swim up tomorrow. Anyway, we asked about preferred and as compensation for not having swim up the first night, we were given preferr [... read more]ed our entire 7 night stay. Some may not care about preferred but we were so happy to have gotten it as the Seaside Grill in preferred was fantastic and had the best staff (Pedro, Carlos, Jorge, Edwin, Melvin and all the others which I cannot remember their names). I am a celiac (gluten allergy) and it is very scary to eat at a buffet or places without gluten allergy knowledge, Pedro at the Seaside was knowledgable and directed the staff to what I was and wasn't allowed on the menu. Our favorite meals at seaside were the shrimp starter, chicken, vegetables with butter and the grouper (delicious). We read many views that the food wasn't great but we really enjoyed seaside and blue water grill, unfortunately I still don't believe they are very knowledgable on gluten and it would've been great if they had gluten free deserts, crackers and bread (it makes the person you are with uncomfortable to have deserts when the other person has nothing available for them to enjoy other than fruit). I have to add that this was the most amazing beach, I have been to many tropical destinations but this beach was by far the best one. We rented a cabana for one day from 10-5 pm, we had a butler and his name was Mr. Marcelo, he was so fantastic, willing to get you a drink, snacks, take pictures, you name it. I have to say that the day we spent with Mr. Marcelo at the beach, was one of the best days there, it was a bit windy (thank god cause we would have melted) but the cabana, snacks, champagne with orange juice and the fruit there while tanning or reading a book was heaven. One thing that would've been nice would be to have a bigger pool, although we loved laying on the blue mats on the lazy river outside our room. All in all after we settled, this trip was the first time we could've stayed longer and we were very sad to leave. The staff are amazing and try to go out of their way to make you happy, my Nellies at the buffet went out of her way to prepare me a smoothie each morning and her smile and giggle super sweet and she did it without expecting a tip ever. I will say that I know it's all inclusive but I didn't see many people tip which was awful as these people help make it paradise for you, so one should tip. They definitely do love us Canadians!!!!! We will be back and truly miss all the sun and relaxation.

Paradisus Punta Cana: Great Holiday!

Wonderful vacation! Very clean, well kept resort. Service was amazing, friendly staff. Food was way better than expected and readily available. Reservations were difficult to get in a few restaurants so we settled for the buffet and discovered how fabulous the food was there too! Rooms were a bit out dated, but tons of light and close to everything. Not a lot of activities so a holiday for pure relaxation.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: What a Vacation!!

We had a great trip. The Junior suite was a very nice room and the VIP beach was fantastic. We were treated like royalty. The buffet food was good but the East Indian food at the Moomtaz restaurant was incredible!

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana: Amazing

The resort was fabulous and this was our second time there so I am sure we will be back. Love the people, atmosphere and the food was always good and the beach bbq and pizza place were all you needed no need to go anywhere else.

Grand Palladium Punta Cana: Amazing Resort

This is an amazing resort in the Punta Cana area. We took our family of 5 and had two bedroom lockoff. The rooms were clean and well maintained. The Beach is where we spent most of our time. Beautiful white sand beach. Great for swimming, long walks and relaxing. Never had to worry about getting chairs at the beach or pool areas. The resort grounds are well maintained with long winding paths and beautifully maintained gardens. There are many restaurants on site and we visited most of them and al [... read more]ways seem to receive good service and food. They have a sports area with tennis, archery, badminton, ping pong, soccer and basketball. We used these facilities every morning and had a great time. Overall service was friendly and adequate. We would recommend this resort to all ages as the resort(s) is quite large with many things to do. We did not leave the resort as we felt it had everything to offer for our family.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Amazing resort -loved it!

Really beautiful property, grounds kept immaculate. Peacocks are really neat to see. Beach and pool area -fun area and huts on beach are wonderful to hide under from the sun for awhile. We enjoyed food immensely, both buffet and a la carte restaurants.

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Exceeded all expectations!

Stayed as a couple the week of March 9, 2015. Pleasantly surprised at how beautiful resort was. Upgraded our room and process was a little challenging but got to the room only to find our luggage was mixed up with someone else's. Sarah helped rectify the problem and we got our luggage no harm done. The staff were friendly and we didn't want for anything the entire week. The beech was amazing ( no seaweed ) and plenty of chairs and shade was never hard to find. The food was great. If your vegetar [... read more]ian your in luck. So many options it was ridiculous. Food was hot and very tasty and the wine was decent. Did the dune buggy excursion and it was nice to see the country side but be prepared to be approached at every stop by the locals trying to sell you there goods. We had a fabulous holiday and can't wait to go back. No more Mexico for these kids!!

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: beautiful resort

very enjoyable resort to visit.The food was first rate with a lot of different choices,the people at the resort were very friendly and helpful.We stayed in a suite which was very nice with good maid service and grounds were kept very clean.Overall very nice vacation with lots to do ,would recommend to anyone to go there for a nice vacation at a reasonable price

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Melia Caribe Tropical

We stayed at the Melia Caribe Tropical. The rooms were very nice, the grounds were well kept. The sewer system takes getting used to as flushing is a multiple time experience. It took us 3 days out of our 7 day vacation to finally not get lost. we suggested that the walkways be better marked to and from the beach so that people could find their way back to their rooms easier. The food was excellent, the staff were friendly and very courteous. Tips were not expected but appreciated. the coffee wa [... read more]s fantastic. The beach was weedy but the staff worked diligently to get it cleaned up. this process does not happen in a day but over a few days. Kudos to the workers. the water was warm and you can swim with the fish just off the beach. Would we go back. You bet. very very nice.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Huge Resort with something for everyone

Beautiful Beaches, warm water and plenty of sun. Great food on a huge resort. Couple of things to watch out for: Mixed drinks are really sweet, resort pricing is extreme (sunscreen ($25 US), pool noodles ($21 US)). Standard bait and switch marketing is in play for various things and pictures are expensive. Aside from the watch items, if you like it hot and sunny this is definitely the place for you. Presidente beer is an 'acceptable' way to stay hydrated! We would bring the kids back for anothe [... read more]r tour of this beautiful resort.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Great resort

This resort is 12 years old and has been renovated recently. Clean grounds with staff attending to them regularly all the time Food selection was ok but would recommend the ala carte resturants Rooms were a bit small compared to other Bahia principe resorts Located in remote part of DR

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Great family getaway

Typical all-inclusive in the 4 to 4+ category. Immaculate and expansive grounds, large and clean rooms, broad selection of restaurants and bars, beautiful beach. Don't expect gourmet food, but there's enough selection to find something every day. Specialty restaurants are hit and miss. Japanese show disappointing. Liquor brands are local and ok (pay extra for international brands). Most staff accommodating and helpful. Front desk often standoffish but cleaning staff and bartenders are much more  [... read more]attentive and pleasant. Tips (US $1-5) and small gifts are a good idea (cosmetics, children's clothing).

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Amazing resort

Food was great, so many different places to see, close to airport, clean rooms, helpful staff... the only less than perfect part is that the beach isn't the white sand. No on bothered us on the beach, lots of drink varieties. Loved it, will go again.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Wonderful and Fun Resort!

Ocean Blue and Golf Resort has beautiful well kept grounds, lovely large rooms and an amazing beach. The resort has a great vibe. The only issue we had was with the Mexican restaurant, we had to try 3 times before we were successful. The experience trying to get a table was unpleasant. The other restaurants seemed better organized and efficient. Mike's coffee shop was a dream, the guys in there were so awesome and the coffee was delicious . We had fun with the entertainment around the lobby bar, [... read more] especially the rock band they had one night. The beach party was fun too. Our teenagers loved all the activities, and had a great time. I loved that it was not too big but not too small either. The food was delicious and we never had an issue finding dishes enjoyed by all.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: A great place to just relax

Keep in mind this is a 4 start Dominican rating, if you go knowing what that star offers, you will not have too many unexpected surprises. The hotel entrance is very welcoming and so are the staff. Everyone there is very friendly, and they all provide service with a smile. The buffet restaurant offers something for everyone with good quality food, the breakfast omelette bar was a big hit. There are 3 a la carte restaurants and I would rate them in this order: the Asian restaurant is first, then  [... read more]the seafood restaurant, and lastly the steakhouse. You have to pay for wifi, I bought $25 for 25 hours, which was enough for 2 people. The umbrellas at pool were a hot commodity, people would come out at 6:30 a, put there towel on a chair beside the umbrella and leave for 2 or 3 hours, the hotel says not to do this, but nobody seem to stop them. The pool area could be a little cleaner, but I have seen worse. The beach was nice and there was always a place to sit when we went down. The Gym is like a small home gym with only 4 pieces of equipment; a treadmill, elliptical, and a bike along with some free weights (some were missing). The animation team are very entertaining and energetic and of course friendly. If you are looking for a vacation to kick back, sit in the sun, relax, drink, eat,dance and/or relax, then this is the place for you!.

Royalton Splash Punta Cana: Great

We arrived at Memories Splash punts Cana and the room service was awesome our bags where delivered to our rooms but upon getting to our rooms we where quite disappointed to find that the ajoining rooms which we had requested was not available my grandchildren where going to be in my care in the evenings so my bed became theirs also as a party of seven we had three rooms on the same floor while our nephew was on a floor above us. The beds could have been more comfortable as a matter of fact they  [... read more]where quite hard. Maid service was excellent tho I must say the bar being stocked daily just did not happen more than once we had to call for drinks to be restocked which took a couple of hours. The food was good I have had tastier at other resorts although when we complained about our rooms not being together the management did give us bracelets to their sister resort The Royalton the food was fantastic ! The sushi Bar was the best , we ate at the steak restaurant our dinner was one of the bests during our stay .We love the free WiFi all over the resort and the kids couldn't get enough of the water park. The entertainment at the Royalton nighty was top notch I would recommend if your at Memories Splash to hop on the trolley and enjoy. The pool and grounds where spotless and the staff where the happiest people. One more thing I will mention if your going for a week just enjoy the resort stay away from the excursion they are just money hungry people who are taking advantage of the tourist, they seem to think we are loaded with money when it comes to selling photos the prices are outrageous!! Also remember if you go to their shops dicker they will come down more than half of what they first ask.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: AMAZING RESORT

Just returned from 7 days at the Ambar. This is our second time and it just keeps getting better. Food and drinks are fantastic, grounds and rooms are immaculate and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Planning on returning next year.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Wonderful Holiday Resort

We love the Bahai Principe Ambar. This was our second visit and we enjoyed sharing it with good friends who were truly impressed by our visit. Everything from front desk of the resort to the ocean is beautiful! The grounds, the staff, the restaurants, the rooms, the food, the pool and beach are all top notch! Would recommend this resort to anyone!
