JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Amazing resort!

It's my favourite resort in Punta Cana! I have been staying there from Mar 24 to March 31, 2024 Excellent service, beach, food, room and everything. No complaints. Will be back for sure. Thank you, Iberostar for one more great vacation.

Majestic Colonial Punta Cana Beach Resort: Beautiful Resort!

This resorts grounds are beautiful and immaculate. The staff were very helpful and always smiling. Our room had a beautiful view and the restaurants were great. The main buffet was the best we have been to in the Caribbean. The Gourmet and Steak House meals were delicious and the service at all restaurants was second to none. So glad Martine Reid at Trip Central recommended it to us!

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Excellent Experience at Sunscape Coco

Just returned 2 days ago after enjoying a week in Punta Cana. We spent most of the time on the beach which was nice, relaxing, and well monitored. We were upgraded to Sun Club immediately, which was a wonderful surprise. Food and staff in our buffet was excellent, a la carte restaurants do not require reservations, we had Chinese, Italian, Mexican all lovely. Our room was fine, lots of hot water, comfortable beds and good maid service. I definitely would suggest more storage area in  [... read more]the form of drawers or even shelves in the main area. Space to empty our suitcases into is very minimal, ie, 1 long rod & 1 long shelf. Overall an excellent experience.

Secrets Tides Punta Cana: FIRST CLASS RESORT

THE RESORT AND STAFF WERE TERRIFIC ALWAYS MAKING SURE EVERTHING WAS RIGHT BAR TENDERS WERE VERY ATTENTIVE AND POURED A MEAN COCKTAIL RESTAURANTS WHERE OPEN ON ROTATING SCHD AND SERVED DELICIOUS FOOD RESORT HAD A GREAT VARIETY OF SHOWS AND MUSIC

Ocean El Faro: Good hotel, poor staff

The layout of the hotel is great, beach is rocky, rooms are decent, food decent, not great, 1-2h wait to get food at a la carte restaurants. Food is not a la carte quality. Serious staff shortage, line ups for everything at the buffet due to this, staff unhappy about tips, constantly waiting for more....

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: Nice resort

The hotel could have used better workmanship when fixing or repairing things, especially when it came to painting or staining. Public areas and grounds were kept clean and organized. Food was good especially in the buffet. The room was nice and kept clean but the washroom layout was terrible as it had no privacy between the wash up area and the toilet. The toilet door had privacy on half the door, the toilet flush was very noisy and there was no sound barrier when using the toilet.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Great vacation

First things first. I've been to many resorts in DR and I can truthfully say this place by far has the best food around. Always fresh, different dishes daily. A job well done by the resort staff. We went to 1 a la carte because the buffet was that good. The grounds were meticulously clean, as was the pool. Mikes Cafe was great for a specialty coffee and desserts. The only thing I would recommend d is they do something with that casino. Horrible is probably the best word for it. Literally only 8  [... read more]slot machines. A waste for a nice building. Either add more or shut it down. A real disappointment Looking past that, I would highly recommend this place based on the food alone.fantastic job

Riu Palace Punta Cana: Resort was great

To many March breakers they did advertise no March breakers but some how they figure a way around it. Everything else was great. Great beach great Food great service. Entertainment needs some work was to far to go for rui party

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Amazing Resort!

This resort was incredible from start to finish! Staff were absolutely incredible, most notably Miguel from the front desk made this our best trip ever. This is a rather large complex of resorts but the trolleys and the friendly drivers made it an fun adventure every time. Food was top notch with so many options to choose from. Was not disappointed once during our stay; we are already planning our next visit.

Margaritaville Island Reserve Cap Cana Hammock: Amazing Resort Hotel

If you like beach walks though ,it's not the place for you..thats the negative Food was very good ,probably best choice was buffet and the Rum Runner for Lunch and the LandShark for Supper Pool was great and activities were very doable for all ages..

Secrets Tides Punta Cana: Fantastic resort!

Secrets Tides is one of the best resorts I have stayed at! Very clean (only two months old!) and the beach is endless with white sand and literally no seaweed. Variety of a la cartes and the buffet restaurant offers different food items every day - always fresh! Staff is always willing to help and are always friendly and courteous!

Royalton CHIC Punta Cana: No beach chairs, resort and rooms were small, very clean and safe resort, lots of variety of food

This is an adults-only resort. I travelled on my own via Air Canada. The shuttle at the airport was easy to find thanks to the staff onsite. Compared to the Royalton Bavaro, the room is VERY small, I would say 2 times smaller, it felt cramped. Fridge is stocked with water and sodas. If you had 2 luggages, it would be tight to have them opened up. I used the safe, that's important. Resort was very safe and clean. There's security everywhere, and people to help you. I felt the staff at the  [... read more]buffet was unhappy, no smiles, how are you. Even the hostess greeting me was fed up with her job, that's the sense I got. It was always the same question: "Room number, how many people, any food allergies?" I figured out that since tipping was included at this resort, they won't go the extra mile. And they don't speak much English. The resort is small, boutique feeling, in a way it's good so you can find you way around easily. However, there's a lack of pool and beach chairs, I heard you have to arrive at 6:30 am and leave your towel, a book or anything to secure a spot. I ended up sitting in the round chair by Munchies, no shades, they were comfy but you don't see the action. The evening entertainment was by the lobby, there's no giant theatre at this resort and no Michael Jackson show. I didn't check out the nightclub. Drinks were very sweet, full of sugar, with little alcohol. If you are smart, ask them for a shot of gin, whisky...it's an all-inclusive. Buffet wasn't as extensive as the Royalton Bavaro, it's small but there's lots of food, they never run out, there's a variety of dishes from fresh grilled seafood, cheeses, breads, Asian, Italian, cold seafood, cold cuts, desserts. Nobody will be hungry. I didn't try the restaurants onsite (Indian, Hunter steakhouse and Italian), and there's no reservations required. There's a nice coffee bar with lots of cookies, cupcakes and fruits. The lobby also has fruits, which is a healthy option. Gym is also small, great variety of equipment and it was empty when I went in mid-afternoon. There are lots of activities like pilates, kayak competition, bootcamp, Spanish lessons, painting. I found the reps from the Royalton hotel sitting downstairs of my building to be ANNOYING. They key asking for my room number, if I came alone, am I married, all nosey questions that are none of their business. They were trying to sell me the Diamond package for future travel. I would suggest you simply say: I am no interested and move on. I won't return to this resort due to its size and lack of chairs, that was super disappointing. Once is enough.

Grand Bavaro Princess: beautiful resort

loved this resort, stayed in the family all suites section, may 22-29, 2024. Travelling with my husband, daughter and grandson. the family section is close to restaurants, main bar, entertainment. favorite restaurants, la tratoria, la hacienda and the Tapanyaki was amazing. Santos our chef was very entertaining 24 pub available and the main buffet was very good too. huge selection. the young man who cooked my fresh omelete each morning was so delightful, as well as the staff who work ha [... read more]rd each and every day to ensure you have a great vacation. i dont have all of their names however appreciated their wonderful service. Please tip them, alot of visitors dont leave anything which is unfortunate, they work so hard, there from breakfast to supper, working 12 days straight. this resort is huge, if your a beach person, you would need to take the train from the family section. we could have walked however, beach gear and a 2 1/2 year old, it would have been hard. the beach is pretty busy, lots of people reserve the shaded beach chairs very early dominican requires a $20 US departure tax to be paid at the airport...wish sunwing would just include this in their billing,

Sunscape Coco Punta Cana: Resort with great potential

We vacationed at this resort from February 26th to March 11th (two weeks) and throughly enjoyed very single day. The resort was a former Be Live brand, but was purchased by Hyatt hotels refurbished, and re branded to Sunscape of which they also have two other resorts in the Dominican Republic. During our visit they were still refurbishing the last one third of the resort which explains why our stay did not feel over crowded. The staff were the best we have ever meant, helpful, always smiling a [... read more]nd greeting use, and more than willing to go out of their way to make our stay memorable. The food was top notch at both of the buffets and all of the restaurants and again the staff and cooks were what made the dining experience so good. You did not have to wander very far, and you were at another bar be it anywhere on the resort, and all of the bar staff were great, did not scrimp on the alcohol, would talk and joke with you and would remember you. ( a U S dollar goes a long way, and don’t scrimp). We also left a tip each day for our room cleaning and had no shortage of anything in our room. Our room had been renovated, tons of hot water, and everything was fine. ( a set of dresser drawers would be nice) On our arrival we were upgraded to Sun club room, which was a pleasant surprise, along with our ground floor pre request. We were in block three building which is Sun club with children allowed,but building two and one was for adults only Sun club upgrade. Because we are two adults only, we were able to eat and drink at Sun club bars and buffet which was very nice. In closing we both can not say enough about Sunscape Coco, Don’t pass this resort up, it will only get better ❤️‍? once the refurbishment is done, and more rooms, pools, splash park, and restaurants are opened up. I know we will be coming back soon .

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Amazing resort

The entertainment team were amazing we had so much fun with them , special thanks to DEIVI and Carlos can’t thank you enough, you guys made our vacation special.

El Beso Adults Only at Ocean El Faro: Great resort!

One of the best resort that we have been too! Very clean, hospital, great food, very friendly staff. Many options for restaurants. Love the drinks, many variety. Love how big the resort is. Very spacious. Pool was nice and warm. They go above and beyond! Highly recommend the resort. 5 star out of 5.

VIK Hotel Arena Blanca: Great resort

Very clean. Had to switch rooms the first night because air conditioner didn’t work properly. Staff around resort excellent. The speciality restaurant served great food. The buffet typical for dominion republic. Theatre entertainment was awful sorry staff but needs an update. Suggest announcing and more activities around the pools.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Beautiful asthetic

Very beautiful, recently renovated resort. Nice beach with lots of seating and food and bar nearby. Poolside seating limited to those that wake up at the crack of dawn and throw down their towels. Resorts not that big. Food and service was ok.

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Amazing Resort

Resort is beautiful. Beach was one of the best we have been to in the DR. Service was great. Food was good. Plenty to eat with lots of variety. Would definitely recommend this resort and would return

Riu Republica: Great resort for adults only!

Riu Republica is a great resort for adults only. Of course if you travel in March like I did there will be thousands of teenagers from the US universities spring break, so get ready for LOUD! That being said, these teenagers where all very respectful and it was nice seeing them bonding and having a great time. The resort is super clean, rooms are quiet, many restaurants to choose from, food is o.k. (I'm from Montreal, nothing beats our food) clubs every where, lots of entertainment. There is [... read more] theme parties every second day bringing you by bus to other Riu hotels. If you want to dance, get drunk, then you get on the bus! The water park is always fun, but the beach is beautiful, and where you want to spend your time, depending on the day, you can get a calm beach or vary waivy, which is always fun. The Riu casino is small, really small, out dated, and depressing. If you are in to casino's I recommend you pay the $20 US to go to the Hard Rock Cafe Hotel Casino. It is really nice, very big, and there is a lot of shops down the strip from the casino. The employees are friendly, so please bring a lot of $1 bills so you can TIP (To Insure Promptness) as it is always appreciated. I would always tip $1 everytime I grab drinks at the bar or served a drink, a couple dollars when I went for lunch at the buffet, and $5 for a sit down dinner. It is so important to tip, giving back. All in all, it was great to relax at this beautiful resort. I'm happy I booked with Louise Endean from Trip Central, she was amazing with her service from start to finish. Have fun, bon voyages! AL
