Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Amazing Resort, fantastic relaxing vacation!

The Senator's was super clean. The staff was really friendly. The landscaping, grounds, views are out of this world. We had a fantastic relaxing vacation. We would not recommend this resort to people with kids nor people that are expecting an exciting night life. It's very relax which is what we were looking for. The only small thing that could have been improved is that there are only 3 à la carte restaurants and one them is closed some nights (they rotate). It's not a big deal, it's ju [... read more]st that we were used to Mexican resorts with at least 5 restaurants.

Paradise Playa Dorada: Best Trip

This Resort was great. The suite was good. The food was good. The service was good. The resort and beaches were very clean. There was a large variety if excursions to choose from. The Select Adult package is worth its benifits.

Casa Marina Reef Resort: Amazing resort

Perfect location. Great staff. Clean and safe. Good variety of food and drinks. Great animation team and entertainment. We loved the pictures with Mario the monkey. Walking off the resort was safe and had excellent shopping. We'll be returning. Thank you to Kevin Dupuis at tripcentral for the great service.

Casa Marina Reef Resort: Amazing resort

Everything was great as usual. Perfect location. Great price, entertainment and food. This was our 7th year there and we'll keep returning. Thanks again to Kevin Dupuis at tripcentral for awesome service.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Great Vacation!

This was our first all inclusive beach vacation together and the we are very happy of our resort choice! If you are looking for a place to stay with a lot of selection you have made the right choice. From the Puerto Plata airport it is an easy 45min shuttle ride. The resort is massive! If you are interested in going to other parts of it you can take a free shuttle that are constantly running from all the lobbies of the attached sister resorts. Unfortunately, if you are not the mobile then thi [... read more]s resort isn't well suited for you. There are a lot of stairs to climb to get to and from your room, beach, restaurant, pools, etc. You will most likely be climbing 20 flights of stairs every day. The service throughout the resort is fantastic! All of the staff were very helpful from the bellboys to the landscapers. There weren't many employees bothering you for a tip and they would still be courteous if you don't tip at every meal and bar. At the resort, you have over 10 swimming pools to choose from, the majority with a staffed bar. If you are interested in the hustle and bustle pools the main ones are good for you. There are also many others that are more secluded where you can relax without being interrupted by loud music and party goers. It was easy to find a lounge chair at all the pools with a shaded area. That being said, there are a lot of VIP only areas such as pools, beaches, bars, and restaurants that you won't be allowed into. We thought next time it would be worth it to upgrade to VIP. The beach was pretty standard. There was a gated beach exclusive to the resort with plenty of lounge chairs to choose from and some covered beach beds that you can use as long as you get to them first in the morning. Resort security were constantly watching the beach as it turns public on one side of it. There were only a handful of vendors on it and once you said no to whatever they were selling they wouldn't bother you again. We were fairly impressed with the quality of food offered at the resort. You can eat at two buffets The Palms at Cofresi and Casablanca at the adjoining resort the Tropical. Casablanca is by far thebetter buffet. It is larger, nicer architecture, and the food seemed to be a bit better. The a la carte's are ok. Nothing incredible or outstanding. The best one we ate at was the Mexican a la carte. All in all, Cofresi is worth it! With the lovely pools, good food and great service we would go back in a heartbeat.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Great Time

This is the second time we have been to this resort and it was a great both times. Staff is friendly and food is good. The disco is a good place if you want to party at night. The pools are always clean and a good place to hang out.

Casa Marina Reef Resort: Great Memories

The pool and beach are beautiful and well maintained, there was a variety of food everyday. We stayed in the newly renovated room and it was clean and service of the cleaning staff was awesomesome. Great trip

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Relaxing week!

We enjoyed our stay at this resort ! Beach was perfect. Lots of room and lounge chairs. Workers were all clean and neat in appearance and atmosphere was perfect. We recommend this resort to families. Pools were maintained and landscaping was well kept.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Not bad for the money

This resort is small which is ok but definitely needs updating around the pool and the rooms do smell mustie. The buffet is very difficult to maneuver around. The tables are way too close and people were getting bumped into when you try and get up to the good. Animation was excellent with us and seemed to want to get people involved in their activities. The reception staff was excellent and responded to problems very quickly trying to help you out. There was the odd wait staff that was friendly  [... read more]with us but the majority of them couldn’t crack a smile or say good morning or say something to you unless you had tips for them. Oh then they would come running when we were done and getting tips out. Gotta laugh!

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Nice resort

Impeccably clean. Pools were very nice. Beach was small but very nice with clear water. Red flagged one day. Not a good beach for children due to big waves and steep drop off.Limited shade and umbrellas on the beach. Umbrellas had to be rented for $3/day. Food was good and plentiful. Service at restaurants was average. Our room was beautiful, newly updated. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. We had trouble getting beach towels for the 1st few days. Safe lock was $15 for the week and wasn't [... read more] available Till the 2nd day. Wifi available at a cost. We booked a triple room but only had two beds with no cots available. All in all a very pleasant week though.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Great time guaranteed!

Our 2nd time at this resort and it did not disappoint. Service is very good and food is amazing. Resort is well proportioned and pool and entertainment area are very active and fun filled. Only 3 à la carte restaurants but in our opinion, Buffet Cafeteria can satisfy every want and need; wide variety of meal choices and options. Beach area is very nice with several kilometers of walking enjoyment along shoreline and coral habitats for the snorkelers out there. Several umbrella huts to choo [... read more]se from and shaded tree area along entrance to the beach. All in all a guaranteed fun time for anyone.

Sunscape Puerto Plata: AVERAGE RESORT. BARELY A 4 STAR

ROOM, GROUNDS, WASHROOMS WERE VERY CLEAN RESORT STAFF HAVE POOR COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THEM ENGLISH SHOULD BE IMPROVED ENTERTAINMENT NOT TO GOOD FOOD WAS HIT AND MISS, SOME MEALS QUITE GOOD, SOME QUITE BAD. CLOSING SOME RESTRAUENTS FOR AN EVENING WAS NOT RIGHT, WE PAID FOR ALL TO BE OPEN ALL OF THE TIME !

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Beautiful resort

I learned while at the resort that it was the oldest and largest Bahia in the Dominican. The care taken to maintain the buildings, grounds and beach is evident as I was not aware it was the oldest. It is stunning! It has a really long sandy beach great for walking. The four pools are gorgeous. The dining was very good and the rooms were in great condition.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: When we got there, we had some issues with the room but it was rectified in a couple of hours. The food was good & the dining tables was well set & the staff at the resort was excellent. The grounds was OK but there was a lot of leaves on the ground in the hotel area. I would go back again.

First when we got there we had some issues with the room. We called the reception desk and they sent someone to our room to fix the problems. After about 2 hours all the trouble was rectified. We found the staff there to be friendly & helpful. The grounds needed some cleaning up in some areas of the hotel where there a lot of leaves on the ground. I really enjoyed the pool it was a large pool & not too crowded. The drinks at the bar was good but my favorite was beer. The food was good 3 good mea [... read more]ls a day plus you can get a snack at the snack bar after 11 AM. The beach was pretty good & they had workers there every morning cleaning up the seaweed & there was security there keeping the vendors away from harassing you.I certainly would go back there, for the price I paid for 7 days it was well worth it

Playabachata Hotel: Amazing Resort

The Hotel Great , the Rooms was always Clean , the Food just OK , not the best , Pool Excellent, the Beach is just Ok , but we love the Hotel and the staff was great at Lobby or in the Restaurants, the Bar Great , but the Drinks we Not Happy, no International drinks at alll only Domestic, but is Ok !

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Great Vacation-Decent Resort

The resort has clearly been updating things over the last few years. The beach was amazing! One of the best I’ve seen in DR mostly because zero seaweed. We had to pay for a safe key and could not get a second room key which were the biggest issues(not that bad, just annoying). The room was clean, staff was great, had most typical amenities. Not much food variety got really hard after day 4. Overall definitely worth the money but nothing special.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Resort

At first glance I thought it was nice landed on a cloudy day but still warm . I thought the shows weren’t very good the beaches were kind of dirty the staff were not very nice . And on top of everything I got salomonia poisoning

Playabachata Hotel: Good Experiece

When we first arrived and were assigned our room we were very dissatisfied but when we went to the front desk the next day we were given an option of two rooms. This second room was definitely an upgrade. The only con was the small showering area. We had no problems with the food. We found it to have a good variety. There were two options in case of the buffet as well as two options with the ala cart both were satisfactory. Pool area was well maintained but the pool itself needed closer monitori [... read more]ng with debris. There was a pool maintenance person clearing debris out of pool but he could not keep up. Also it is not a heated pool. The service of bartenders was satisfactory. The serving personnel in the buffets and ala cart restaurants were excellent. No complaints. The cleaning personnel to our room was exceptional. Only wish I had asked and kept track of their names. But Lydia from the buffet restaurant really sticks out in my mind. She was awesome. We stayed in the PlayaBachata Resort.

Casa Marina Sosua Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive: Pleasant surprise

Booked this resort as a budget quick getaway from the winter weather The reviews were mixed but went with an open mind and were pleasantly surprised.The lobby , restaurants and some rooms are newly renovated very nice very clean.The grounds are beautiful and well kept.The food is your usual buffet style food lots of choices great selection of fruit and vegetables.The three restaurants food is much the same all good but the service in the Italian is not good.Also the lobby staff seem to want to [... read more] put you off and leave matters for the next shift but for the most part service is good no long lineups for bars.The pools are clean and a couple to choose .The reason I would return again is the beach the water is crystal clear no rocks seaweed or coral not a big beach and can be rough some days probably not the best for small children.We enjoyed our week and would recommend !

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Best resort ever !!
