Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Great resort awesome people

The hotel was neat clean, very friendly people, no language barrier, the pools were very clean and the staff when they knew what you were having would bring you more without even asking them. The grounds were very well kept and the front desk was very very helpful!!!

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Brutal

Our experience at the be live resort in punta Cana was horrible !!!! Worst resort I have ever been too. The staff were very unfriendly and there was no excitement on the resort. We met a few staff in the main buffet who were amazing but other then that everyone else was pretty rude. They were doing construction on the resort so half the pool and the main bar where everyone would go to drink and relax at night was closed. All you could hear at night and very early in the morning was banging noise [... read more]s from the construction. We chose this hotel because it had a casino which was closed. The disco was also closed which left you absolutely nothing to do in the evenings. We were constantly harassed with people trying to sell you things that would not take no for an answer and one time a man actually grabbed my wallet saw there was an couple bucks and told me to give that to him for a tip. There was seaweed all over the beach and the beach had a terrible smell. I would never go back and I have been to the Dominican in punta Cana right down the street at the Catalonia Bavaro and absolutely loved it so I was mortified when I saw this resort. We had no warning of the conditions so it was a huge shock. If I wasn't travelling with the love of my life and if the weather wasn't as good as it was I would have been tempted to go home. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone it sucked and was a waste of my money

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Fabulous resort!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Every part of the resort is lovely even though it is a huge complex. The grounds are kept meticulously tidy and trimmed. The food is excellent, and the wait staff are always eager to serve. We travelled with a couple who come here every year, and it is easy to see why.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Loved everything

We have been to a number of all inclusives and i had a great time at the Gran Ventana,good food,good weather,good clean rooms and great service in all areas.only advice would be to bring lots of single dollar bills [us] can onky get dr dllars at the resort.

Excellence Punta Cana: All inclusive at it's best

This is an amazing all-inclusive resort. The expansive well manicured lawns encompass beautiful swaying palm trees right at the beautiful sandy beach and blue turquoise water. The staff is unbelievably friendly. The food is excellent and it can be only compared to Excellence Punta Cana

Grand Palladium Select Bavaro: Very nice resort

The rooms were very spacious and wonderfully air conditioned! The resort was lovely and the option of using the chauffeured golf carts to other parts of the resort and other restaurants was fun. There were many dinner options, but the lunch was limited to the beach-front cafeteria. We sampled the Mexican, Italian, Spanish and Steak Restaurants when we were there. The Spanish restaurant was particularly good. The beach was lovely and the water clear. There was quite a tide so snorkeling was not  [... read more]an option. There were a few pools, one central one which was very busy and loud. We found a quieter one which was virtually empty and had it almost to ourselves. Do not drink the water! Many of the folks we met had experienced tummy troubles, so take appropriate medication, just in case. The excursions are very expensive, so shop around.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Consistantly Wonderful!!

This our 4th visit to the exact location, and consistanly we have had an amazing stay. The food is amazing, the staff is very helpful, the grounds are kept immaculate and the activities are always there if that's what you are looking for. Our only disappointment, is that the rooms are now in need of some repair, although the staff keeps them extremely clean.

Sunscape Puerto Plata: I keep returning over and over again!

This resort is beautiful, with amenities of all sorts, so convenient but most of all, it is the wonderful staff, whom I now consider my friends, that keep me coming back. They go above and beyond to ensure that each guest feels like royalty!! While there, I litterally have a "Perma-Smile". Can't wait until my next visit to what I consider to be my 2nd home..

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Nice resort!

Overall trip was amazing) Decent hotel to stay with a large well-kept area and lots of greenery)Food,rooms and service staff was good)Pool and daily activities were stellar)Outstanding friendly staff and Entertainers made us forgot about the beach) Made friends with staff and Entertainers,I very much appreciate what they do to Entertain Guests)

Ocean Blue and Sand: Great Stay at Ocean Blue

Rooms were large and spacious, very clean Food was great - lots of variety to choose from Grounds were kept well and pools were very large and clean Lots of chairs both on beach and by the poolside Great wine!

Riu Palace Bavaro: Nice modern resort.

We enjoyed our stay at the Riu Palace Bavaro. The good points include the room - great air conditioning, very clean, great maid service, beds a bit firm, but good. The jacuzzi tub was comfortable. The bar service was well run in the entertainment area. The servers were very friendly and efficient. The food had a good variety at the buffets all meals including lunch. The service at the a la carte restaurants was not very friendly. Our best service was at the Steakhouse. We went twice. We always t [... read more]ip and perhaps many guest do not and perhaps that is why the service seemed unfriendly at the a al carte restaurants. VIP section was nice, but not much special treatment other than our adult only pool. Should have had more waiter service dedication. Bar should have stayed open in the evening the same as the Sensimar section. I heard this section was primarily for the Europeans. Or they could have allowed the VIP people to access the pool bar in the evening. The coffee bar should open at 8 am rather than 10 am. The front desk personnel were very friendly as well as our towel/pool attendants in all areas. Overall, we would recommend this resort.

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Great Resort

We just returned from a great week at the Gran Bahia Principe Cayacoa. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms and ground were immaculate. The food was excellent, we tried all 3 a la carts which were great. The buffet had lots of selection so it was easy for everyone to find something they liked. The entertainment and bartenders were a lot of fun which made our vacation really enjoyable. Dario, Alex, Fernando and Carlos were the best.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: beautiful beach

Our stay at the Grand Bahia Principe Bavaro was over all good.... The food and al a cartes were all good. I booked the al a cartes at home but didn't get confirmation till at the hotel...The Japanese was very good. The Tex mex was very good. As for the Gourmet was slow and 2 couples left but we decided to stay and the meal ended up being worth it.. The dining service was excellent. I sent my request for our third floor room and did receive my request. Our maid service was excellent. Although the [... read more] front desk has some hick ups and were to lazy to check to see if we were returning customers from Ambar and after sending many family and friends there over the years was disappointing. This hotel is very large and manages the customers pretty good. Because it is so large could account for 2 of the rudest service people we have experienced over the years. The front desk and the towel return. Yet we would not let that spoil our time there. We started traveling to Dominican Republic 20 years ago and return at least once a year and love what the Bahia hotels have to offer.... The hotel does a great job on food, clean buffet, has clean rooms, clean pools, and a beautiful beach. Plenty of beach towels and lawn beds. The bar service was excellent. Over all the people in the hotel work very hard to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I just wish they would make it easier to get larger bills exchanged to smaller bills so the people serving could get what is due. As so many times our servers fell short as we didn't have small bills and the front desk just wouldn't or didn't have change. There are ways around it like the luggage guys, the bar guys usually have small bills but just seems like a we are always on the search for small bills.. Hope to return again next year....

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Amazing resort!

Everything about this resort was so great! The food was amazing and there was an abundace of choice. You are able to eat at all AL a carte restaurants between all of the bahia hotels so there are many choices. There beach bar service so servers come and bring you drinks while you enjoy the beach so you never need to get up. Impeccable service and cleanliness at the resort. Both my friend and I have not one negative thing to say about the resort.

Wyndham Alltra Samana: nice place

Example: What did you think about  this hotel? (grounds, public areas, rooms, dining, features, etc.)nice grounds,room was really clean,service was acceptable,sea not so good,food different every day,drinks only domestic

TRS Turquesa: Disappointed

The resort itself is beautiful. Customer service is not their strong suit. There are some great employees but when you have a problem and need help don't expect it. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Go to the Hard Rock or Paradisus instead. Didn't get the room we booked and paid for. Compensation was a joke. The manager was NEVER around to meet with.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Just go

Our stay was great large property but the tram cars are get you around service was great, rooms clean and nice lots of huts on the beach and pool no towel game needed ride for airport 30 minutes ..just go have fun

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Huge resort

Great resort. Food was great everywhere except the 24/7 a la a carte that was hot dogs and hamburgers mostly. Bring comfortable shoes if u want to see lots or take the bus throughout the resort. It comes every 10 mins. The tapanyaki al la carte and garden grill were amazing. I loved how you can have access to all the other resorts and shows with some limitations. We paid extra for Bavaro vs. punts and it was the same thing.. The lounge in bavaro is a little nicer but u have acces to both lounge [... read more]s anyways. Also the safe is $4 per night... Very misleading. Our room has lights not working and they couldn't fix them. People are not really happy to serve and sometimes we would order a drink and they wouldn't get it. The lounge is dead by 11.. Great for families. There is a club and another liver are on the punts Cana side where the shops are.

Sunscape Puerto Plata: FANTASTIC BARCELO VACATION!

The hotel was the cleanest all-inclusive resort I have ever been to. The food was phenomenal and extremely varied making all vacationers in the family very happy. The people were extraordinary, going out of their way to ensure everyone in teh family had the vacation of their dreams (relaxing for the parents, active for the children, exciting for the teenagers). The pool is very accessible, beautiful, clean. The beach was very easy to access and the activities offered such as parasailing, snorkel [... read more]ing and tubing were awesome. Our Westjet orientation guide was great, and the off resort adventures also offered a good variety of activities to choose from that were all fairly reasonably priced. I felt very safe and comfortable, while getting a really good touch of the local culture.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Another Great Stay at Bahia Principe Ambar

This is our favourite resort in Punta Cana, and we have stayed her multiple time. The Villas are located close to the beach and although the Bahia Resort is very large the Ambar has it''s own lobby, pool and restaurants making it easier to walk around without having to go to the main lobby. The rooms are getting a little outdated but they were very clean and towels were changed twice in the morning and at night. The hotel grounds are well minicured, very clean, and there is always someone takin [... read more]g care of the grounds. The beach area is also very clean and they have someone coming around and brushing the sand off our chairs. Nice touch... The staff are very friendly and try to accomodate you at all times. Although the beach bar is OK the lobby bar had better quality drinks. The food in the restaurants is OK, and the buffet as well, I found that there was always something that you could eat. keep in mind that for the price that we pay for hotel and the all inclusive ameneties, it is a great deal. We will go back again in the Spring.
