Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort Adults: Beautiful Resort

A little bit of everything, it was quiet when you wanted to relax or Ron’s of fun if you wanted to dance and enjoy the shows. The entertainment in the lobby was amazing each evening. They did an amazing job getting people up and participating. The rooms were perfect. The ocean was amazing. I can’t wait to go back again. Our concierge Jenfry was helpful in keeping us informed on the events and things to do. Checking to make sure we were ok and had what we needed. He even helped to make sure we we [... read more]re picked up and taken care of when departing. Best vacation ever.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Very good vocation experience

Very convenient location, lots of delicious food and drinks, no lines on main and beach restorans. Beautiful resort, nice beach, lots of green space everywhere!!! Definitely come again!!! Thank you very much ???

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Nice resort but looking worn and needs upgrade

Very large resort. Long walks to the beach, perhaps to long if you are not in good shape due to the heat. Service was good around the pool and the lobby. Buffet - food - good variety and quality, Service - Attentive. Only able to book two other resturants - Japanese and The Garden - both good food and service. Rooms - key issues, patio door would not lock, sheets worn but servicable. TV very bad reception. Maid service good

Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Amazing vacation!

I recently stayed at the Iberostar Dominicana during our vacation, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the cleanliness of the hotel and the warmth of the staff. Everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome throughout our stay.   One of the highlights for us was the buffet, which offered a wide variety of delicious dishes. As someone with dietary restrictions, I was pleased to see that they had glute [... read more]n-free options available and were willing to make accommodations to ensure everyone could enjoy their meals.   Our room was spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean. We were pleasantly surprised when they added a third bed for us without any hassle, making our stay even more convenient.   Overall, our experience at the Iberostar Dominicana was fantastic, and we couldn't have asked for a better vacation. We are already planning our next trip back and will definitely be staying at this hotel again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

Ocean El Faro: Amazing resort

Pretty much loved everything about this resort, all the restaurants were very good. We didn't enjoy the buffett but that was us. Plenty of pools to choose from. Staff all very friendly. If you're a beach walker this wasn't for you, it was all full of rocks you couldn't really get to the ocean if you manged to no where to walk full of rocks. If you're taking kids on this resort it's awesome for them Plenty for them to do.

Occidental Caribe: Group trip

As a group we found this hotel may be suited more for the party environment yet there were a lot of kids. We found the over all noise level loud especially eating at the buffet and evening entertainment. We are a group in our 40 s . The daytime staff are friendlier than the evening staff and booking a la carts is next to impossible. We found our booking was done on wrong dates and came across others with the same issue. Rooms had to be moved due to broken facilities and it took 3 days to accommo [... read more]date this. We sent booking numbers to have 3 rooms booked close together and we ended up at completely different ends of the resort. At times it felt the staff was making things more difficult than needed to be.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Good Value

We had a swim out highly recommend it. The rooms were very clean had no issues. The concierge/Butler went above and beyond as well as the beach, staff pool staff, and the restaurant staff they were always working so hard to make sure you were well looked after. The only negative thing that I would have to say is about towels on the chair around the pool and beach. We’re always taken no matter what time you’ve seem to get up. There does not seem to be a rule about no towels before a certain hou [... read more]r not to mention no caution tape around the chairs!!!

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana: 5 Day Getaway

We had a great 5 day Getaway to Jewel Palm that was booked last minute without much research on the resort. We were pleasantly suprised at how much we enjoyed it. Pro's: Check in was quick and we were able to get our room 3.5 hours early. Check Out was great, we managed to ask and get a 5PM checkout to meet our requirements which allowed us to enjoy the resort longer Buffet was very good for Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner. Two Palm's Grill was our favorite place for Breakfast/Lunch. S [... read more]ervice was excellent everywhere on the resort. Beach is magnificent; warm sandy bottomed swimming area. Shower Pressure was 10/10 with lots of hot water. Pools were clean and close to the beach/restaurant. Cons: Room is dated. It didn't discourage us. Everything was operational AC was working but didn't quite get the room as cool as we would like but certainly low enough to be comfortable 20-21 degrees. We would return to this resort for the same price range in which we paid this trip. It is a smaller resort, so you would need to not go back to back but a great 5 day trip

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Amazing time!

We had a fantastic trip. There was so much to do for the kids from the kids club, to the water parks, mini putting, arcade etc. the shows at night were amazing, and the food/drinks were great. There was always something to do. The staff are so friendly, very hard workers. The facilities are all clean and well taken care of. No complaints!

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: 3 Star Hotel

Great staff except for dinner staff at Brisa, issues fixed same day, quality of buffets are good but Chez Gourmet had the best service/ food.The location was not relaxing either. Power boats zoomed by with screaming drunks and loud music playing on the boats. Right out front of the beach was holding tanks for dolphins and to the right another was a bar for people to drink so it was not very relaxing. Beach had pockets of grass and seaweed, it was shallow out to the buoys which was nice. No sha [... read more]de on beach except for palm trees, should have umbrellas.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Great resort

The Majestic Colonial is a great resort with an excellent beach. The rooms are a bit dated, but this is secondary. Friendly staff and great services overall. The Club upgrade is quite worth it as you get a bit more services and access to the Club lounge.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Not beach friendly

Seaweed issues on the beach daily. Staff did its best to clean up. Rooms are dated and not enough towels provided. Not enough shade on the beach. Trees to not provide adequate shade. Cabanas should be installed like other resorts on the beach. Eye sore views of the dolphin cage and the party structure was a turn off. Food was good. Buffet was at times better than the À la cart restaurants. Upgrades are definitely needed to give a better customer experience

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Nice resort but too much mosquitoes!

The rooms are old. We are a group of 12 people. We had to change 3 rooms at the first night, we couldn’t sleep because of the mosquitoes everywhere even in the bed! The grand floor is the worst . We moved to the 3 floor and it was acceptable No one told us about the renovated rooms near to the beach that we can upgrade until we went there and they asked for 30 US$ extra per night! Otherwise the food was good and the service was good too.

Impressive Punta Cana: Impressive Punta Cana

Resort is very nice. Have no complaints, the staff were very nice especially, our sever Robinson was a sweetheart. He made my 60th birthday special. They sang happy birthday and brought me a little treat with candles. The buffet is your typical buffet, always could find something to eat. The restaurants, Italian, steakhouse and Japanese were very good. Older resort but very clean.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Will not go again.

Rooms ammenties were totally subpar. Beds rock hard, TVs totally unwatchable and AC controll did not work. Alacarte restaurants food was subar or awful. But the hotel servant staff was very accommodating and kind.

Dreams Onyx Resort and Spa: Amazing Resort all around would definitely recommend and return in the future !!

Food amazing service amazing entertainment amazing beautiful and clean and well maintained!!! Thanks Wendy Harrington at trip central for suggesting this resort as an option for us and for working so diligently with us to assure our travel was a smooth sailing experience!!!!

Secrets Royal Beach: Girls getaway!

SRB is a lovely resort. Everything about it was fantastic. The rooms were spacious. The buffet and a la cartes were amazing. Never had a bad meal. Even though you can’t make reservations we never had any issues getting into any of the a la cartes for 7 women. The staff were great and the resort grounds were always looking lovely. Loved all the pools and the service around them were top notch. All in all it was a great week away and will definitely be returning. Thank you to Robyn Murr [... read more]ay for all her help in getting all 7 of us booked seamlessly and she was very helpful when we had any questions.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Return Trip

Positives: grounds well maintained, beautiful beach no seaweed, food generally good, great butler in adult section. Improvement: common problem of keeping food hot at the buffets, guests leaving a towel or book on a lounge chair or bali bed and disappearing for hours, in fact could use more lounge chairs (thought early April would be less busy but resort seemed full).

Occidental Punta Cana: Beautifully Kept Resort

Loved the food options, the snack bars, and cleanliness of the resort. Staff were nice and polite. Our family suite was perfect with two couch beds for the kids and our bed on the other side of the room. Disliked our location of the room as it was next to the housekeepers storage and we heard Them the minute they arrived for work. (Although they were kind and did a great job of cleaning). Hopeful we will return again!

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: It's ok, but would not go back

The good: This resort is very well taken care of. We had a HUGE storm one night. I looked outside early (6 am), and there was debris everywhere - by 8 am, it was as if nothing had happened. The grounds are well taken care of. The room was nice, a little worn out, but above average based on our experience of going to resorts in DO. A handful of staff were amazing. Two from the main buffet and three from the lobby bar - they made us feel very welcome. The steak house was AMAZING!!! I h [... read more]ad an amazing beef rib dish. It would have easily beat both of my fav steak restaurants in Montreal and Toronto! Everyone at our table had an amazing dish and top-notch service! The not-so-good: When we arrived, we were greeted by check-in staff, who made it seem like we were a burden. He was very cold towards us. We were not deterred by this. Everyone has a bad day once in a while. Unfortunately, this theme was consistent throughout our stay across the buffets and bars by the beach and pool area. The a-la-carte restaurants we visited were the Japanese Grill, Steak House and Italian. The Japanese Grill was so awful that one guy threw up eating his food. It was extremely salty! The Italian was the same food you got from the pizza and pasta station at the buffet, with no service. I gave up on a pepper grinder, walked to the server's station on the other side of the restaurant, and just got my own. Again, the food was over-salted, and as someone who loves salt, I think that's saying something! Entertainment - it's the same songs and show every night - and no matter where your room is located on the resort - YOU WILL HEAR IT!! The beach... If you enjoy walking in sand and cigarette butts, you will enjoy it! Drinks on the beach... Good luck - ZERO service while on the beach - there were servers, but they were having too much fun chatting with their co-workers. If you like to snorkel, Barcelo Beach is not the best place for it. Rough Atlantic waters make it quite difficult, but if you are a good swimmer and are confident, you should be okay - but watch that current. Mixing 5ft waves and fine sand will disorientate you! The swell was HUGE - on a calm day, what would be 5ft deep would be 12-13ft deep. If you really want to see some amazing marine life (and there is some amazing sights), look at the tide times and go out on the incoming tide. My final comment is not to go beyond the rope, divider. Speed boats rip up and down within a couple of feet of that line - they will NOT see you, and if you are snorkelling within 20ft of the rope, you will choke on the exhaust fumes from these boats!! In summary, the positives were too few compared to the negatives. My inlaws, who were with us, had been to the same resort just before covid and said it's gone downhill considerably. Maybe internal politics is causing the staff to be not as friendly or attentive, who knows. Such a shame - my inlaws loved the last two times they went, but this time, they didn't recognize the place based on service.
