Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Loved every second of this trip!!!!

This resort is perfection. I am a picky person so need a very clean resort. This resort was very clean! From the rooms to the grounds, to the buffet to the pool area, everything was well maintained. Some things were a little dated but it didnt matter it was very clean. The food was great! We only ate at one of the a la cartes (because we like having choices at the buffet) and it was good as well. The people are very friendly and helpful. It was an adults only resort which I loved. Even [... read more] though it was adults only they still had activities by the pool every day. The evening shows were some of the best (especially the fire show that was around the pool). We will absolutely be going back to the Aquamarine!

Royalton Hideaway Punta Cana: Good Time

Overall the resort is good....we found that some staff seemed to be complacent and not really interested. The Hideaway pool staff were very good. Always attenuative. Food at the buffet was very good and plentiful. A la carts were good and there was rarely a line. We have been to other Roylton resorts and will continue to use them again.

Serenade Punta Cana Beach and Spa Resort: Beautiful Resort

This resort is new and well maintained. The rooms are very nice and clean. Our swim up pool was excellent and clean. The grounds were well maintained. The food was good but not excellent. The drinks were also good but not excellent. The staff were excellent!

Riu Bambu: Absolutely loved everything!

We had gorgeous weather the fist 2 days. The beach had very little seaweed. Day 3 we had a day of rain so we went for a drive to BelleMare Mall. It wasn't a mall but rather a gift shop. Things were lovely but highly overpriced. We went to the BlueMaa on day 4. Much better stores. For the remainder we went to most Riu parties. Great entertainment every evenings. The beach had lots of seaweed and so we preferred the pool for the duration of our stay. Luis at the Laplaza bar as we [... read more]ll as Sandi, Paulin , Nelson and Jhonny were always ready to mix you the drink of choice. Wendy was our housekeeper. She is a lovely soul and always had a smile. We loved our stay and can't wait for next year!

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Wonderful resort

Grounds are beautiful,the food was outstanding and gorgeous beaches.Rooms were nice and beds very comfortable and always clean.Staff were very friendly Our Butler Edwin did a wonderful job with all our request and always answered the messages we sent him soon after.Would come looking for us on the beach if he couldn't reach us by messages

Secrets Tides Punta Cana: Nice Resort

Pros: Nice Beach, great rooms, lots of staff on hand, no problem getting seats at the beach or poolside, great food, gym was great, shows were ok, very quiet when we were there: Cons: regret we didn't have 2 weeks for our holiday

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Just what we were looking for

Excellent staff, and the grounds were immaculate. Entertainment was available but we never attended, fine with us. Grounds very large and easy to walk. Honestly we were looking for quite time away and this place delivered.

Grand Bavaro Princess: Not like it used to be

This was my 6th trip to this resort, the first time there since 2018 and all of the "upgrades". The staff, as usual, were the absolute best, they are and have always been my favourite part of the resort. I was very impressed by the new buildings and the new pool area in the Platinum part of the resort. I was not a huge fan of the new Platinum Lounge. Nice area, I guess I just like the old one better, and that's just me. I found that the buffet restaurants pretty much had the same meals morn [... read more]ing, noon and night day after day. They used to have a different selection each day. The Absolute favourite part of the trip, as usual, was the Platinum Beach Bar!!! The people who work there are the absolute greatest, they should really work hard to keep all of those people working there, as I'm sure they are the Best!!!!

Melia Caribe Beach Resort: Horrible

Well first of all the room we had on the 2nd floor flooded the first 2 nights we were there and all our clothing and suitcases got soaked, staff didn’t seem to care, the patio door didn’t close 100% reason for the flood and the mosquitoes in our room, another night we got back to our room with no towels, we called thankfully they delivered fast. Staff and I mean all staff are rude and not helpful at all, there was 12 in my party and the 12 of us would never visit this resort again and I’m not su [... read more]re if we’ve visit this country for that matter and we’ve travelled several times and never witnessed this kind of service ever Also the beach and ocean was filled with seaweed

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Disappointed

Our room flooded water pouring through the roof our 1 year old daughter slipped on the huge puddle on the floor smashing her head hard. Requested a new room as water was coming through the ceiling and they began to say someone will be up with a mop and bucket soon. Again I insisted NO I’d like another room and they were annoyed at my request it’s 9pm now and I’m waiting for a new room they placed a family of 4 with two small babies on the third floor having to hike 3 flights of stairs with strol [... read more]lers and beach/ poor gear. My daughter had sever allergies with anaphylaxis I emailed the hotel prior and they said go to guest services for a special card to give the chef.. (so I felt confident when booking) when I did the chef couldn’t confirm anything is there was egg in dishes or milk or nuts all three very severe allergies .. my poor daughter ate hardly anything all week I felt awful.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Amazing resort!

Everything was excellent! Rooms are clean. Beach is amazing. Service is very good everywhere in the resort. Food are delicious in buffet and in A la cart restaurants. Entertainment is very good! We definitely coming back.

Grand Palladium Palace: Such a nice relaxing vacation!

My husband and I had such a great time at the Grand Palladium Palace, part of three hotels of grand palladium. Therefore lots of walking around, got lots of steps in but towards the end we used the trains a couple times. I do find I prefer a smaller, more quaint resort where you don't have to walk 20 minutes to a restaurant in heels, we found we had to walk to the Bavaro one quite a bit. Anyway the a la cartes are nothing to write home about, the buffets were pretty decent. Room was great, bed w [... read more]as comfy, no issues with the AC. Tried room service once, didn't find it anything special. But what you go for is the Ocean and it was amazing and a beautiful turquoise color, very inviting, we were in there a lot! Never stepped into any of the pools though, sometimes a few loud kids and loud music, much preferred the quiet beach area. Always lots of beach chairs available.

Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana: Amazing vacation!

Resort was immaculate, the food was amazing with so many options. Clean private beach with lots of chairs. People working here were so kind. You will not be disappointed in choosing Hyatt Ziva for your getaway.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Great food!

This was my first time at a resort down south. It was also my first time visiting somewhere that is truly a different culture, food, and experience. Please keep in mind that their milk is not pasteurized, or homogenized. They use a third method more suitable to the tropics. This means that you can't get a good cup of tea. The creamy part of the milk is whipped and the whole thing is heated. The first time I asked for milk with my tea the waiter looked shocked. He brought a teapot full of hot [... read more], whipped milk with a touch of coffee added. Then, I looked shocked. The food was amazing, the Ala carte restaurants were even more impressive. The beach, pool, and the grounds were all amazing. While most of the staff were great and tried—even with the language difference to be helpful, a few took advantage of that fact to just coast in their jobs. Is it a deal killer? No. The room was spacious, and well-appointed except for the missing wall in the bathroom. Do not expect to get facecloths, so bring your own. It is so hot, and humid there that our room had a musty undertone most of the time.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Luxury at its best

This resort is very upscale and well maintained. The food, drinks, rooms, beach, pool, entertainment and service is amazing. We had a swim up room and loved it. Will definitely return to the Ambar.

Serenade All Suites Adults Only Resort: Brand new. Would go back.

I will start with the cons which are few and not serious but can be irritating 1. The pillows are awful. 2. Lack of small ice buckets in the brand new adult section. 3. Lack of instructions on use of TV remote and the sound is controled. We had to sit right in front of the TV to hear it. Had to call maintenance to come and increase the sound. Now that that is out of the way, this resort (adult section) is beautiful, modern, has 5 pools available and has Palapas around each pool instead of umbrel [... read more]las. Grounds are well kept, do not have to get up early to get loungers (and they are padded). Animation group is hard working and very friendly. Drinks are delicious and top shelf brands provided. I would suggest that since many Canadians vacation here that they provide Clamato juice for Ceasars. Staff at all levels are professional and hard working. Buffet is varied and very good. Specialty restaurants were good as well. The PALAPPA restaurant does not need reservations and it serves Italian food in the evening. During the day, they serve BBQ food. They serve the best burgers. They are so huge that my wife and I shared one. After your evening meal, you can enjoy a cocktail at the piano bar or a specialty coffee or various flavoured martinis outside the main reception area. The rooms are huge, clean and there is alot of storage space. Balconies are large compared to other resorts we were at. Beach is very nice and you can walk out in the ocean a good distance. No snorkeling as it is very shallow. The resort is 20 minutes from the airport. Please don't be shy to tip. Very enjoyable 8 days.

Royalton Hideaway Punta Cana: Hideaway - Royalton

The hotel grounds were ok The rooms at Hideaway are an issue - patio doors are hard to open - bathroom area is ridiculously small not even enough room to put a toiletry bag down for one person let alone two The wardrobes will cut your finger off if you open it to quickly Some of the restaurants were closed due to renovations but I guess that has to happen at some point The service was appalling in my opinion - we were hideaway and diamond club Rarely did we get offered a drink and had to go [... read more] to the bar every time We stayed diamond club a few years back at this resort and the servers came around constantly asking if you would like a drink or some food - it was excellent - it is NOT the case now You have to go and get everything regardless of the level of vacation you have purchased Many others were not diamond club in hideaway and there experience was exactly the same as ours but for less money The butler did nothing - made a couple of reservations and to be honest he got those wrong on several occasions

Grand Bavaro Princess: try another place

This was my 4th time to this resort, since the renos/expansion, the food quality has dropped a lot, level of service also dropped, although some staff is amazing.. service at Rebel 24-7 was terrible.. Also, being woken up 5:30-6am every day by screaming peacocks was not very fun...

Majestic Elegance Punta Cana: Elegance at the Elegance

What a beautiful resort.,You really feel that you are in the tropics with all the beautiful Palm trees and flowers. The food is amazing. I have never had such great service. Everyone is smiling and waving. Our butler Richard was awesome. Beto at the Italian restaurant went above and beyond. I will definitely be back again!

Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa: A Great Time

Attended this resort at the end of April/beginning of May. Here are my thoughts. Check in was extremely quick (even though we were not Diamond Club). We arrived around 3pm. A bellboy took us to our rooms however our wrist bands did not work and we had to return to the front desk to have them corrected. Not a big deal as we hit the front desk after our first buffet dinner. There were some Americans who had arrived around the same time as us and were very upset with how long their check in was [... read more] taking and were very vocal regarding their complaints about not having immediate access to their room when they arrived. We did not have this experience. Our room was gorgeous, large and exactly as depicted in the resort photos. We had a swim out room and wow was that a great upgrade. The pool in our building was cleaned regularly and fresh towels were let for us daily. We saw no bugs whatsoever in our room and it was cleaned by the maid very well. My only complaint would be the towels and bedding linen are quite worn and should be replaced. Food was stellar;buffet fantastic, Rio, Hunter, Oceanside and the Japanese all fantastic. Our party of 4 arrived at 6 for dinner and always obtained a table without a wait. No need for reservations. Drinks were also spot on and even tried some new ones. We tried room service twice and found the food arrived very cold but it was still a great perk. We had dinner at the Sportsbar one evening and found the found cold and not great but not a deal breaker for us. Scoops - coffee shop and dessert place was excellent. Highly recommend the coffee there compared to the buffet. Treats were delicious too! Pools were beautiful and staffed with lifeguards. TONS and i'm not at all exaggerating when i say tons of chairs and umbrellas/shade were available. No issues in getting fresh towels either. The beach was drop dead gorgeous. I was bitten by some bug and had quite the allergic reaction even while using bug spray, an anti-histamine and hydrocortisone cream. So if you are delicious like me prepare in advance. The lazy river or as we called it, the combat zone was super fun. The only drawback is the entertainment. It is completely lacking here. We have travelled fair amount and this was by far the worst resort for entertainment. This is somewhere the resort needs to improve upon. All in all a great time and I would recommend to a friend.
