Riu Palace Macao: Amazing Resort!!!

We absolutely loved RIU Palace Macao! The staff are top level and the hotel is beautiful. We had a great time and will definitely be back. Thanks so much Cindy for recommending, and all of your help.!

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Great Resort

This resort is incredible. Very big with many hotels. The staff seem to have a good grasp on running things, despite its size. The food was pretty good. There were ups and downs, but for the most part very satisfying. They could improve on the coffee. I love my coffee in the am and throughout the day. Maybe add decaf as an option. All and all, very relaxing. Super friendly staff and very interactive.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Not So Good

Aquamarine room was dated and in need of a refurbishing. No dedicated outlets for phone chargers etc, in fact you had to unplug lights just to charge your phone. No stopper in sink. Towel and face cloth supply was sporadic. Handle on sink was almost broken and shower set up was loose. Room door was not sealed properly as you could clearly see the light shining around the door frame. In room fridge was not always replenished. Lack of good air conditioning in our lobby. Not easy to cool down after [... read more] a day in the sun. Lobby tables were not cleaned and were always sticky. Very difficult to find chairs at pool and beach. Sports Bar could not get NHL games on their TVs. Food was good, a la carte restaurants were good and not packed, but it was difficult to get reservations at the time you wanted. The bars also ran out of supplies and didn’t seem to care. No gin, no champagne, no Rose wine etc and the quality of of their alcohol was not up to standard.Overall the Aquamarine is not a 5 star resort and it won’t be until they refurbish the rooms.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Bahia Principe grand Bavara

Grounds were beautiful but needs maintenance.Room was nice but needs maintenance but very comfortable. Food was good but repetitive. Too many,mosquitoes I got bitten all over my feet . Service could improve at the buffet

Melia Punta Cana Beach Wellness Resort Adults: Clean, Zen, Quiet, Tropical Paradise Resort

This resort is a Tropical Paradise. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The lobby is stunning with fountains, water features and lots of greenery. A wonderful place to sit back, relax, enjoy the soft music and island breezes while sipping on a refreshing mojito. A place where we would frequent after dinner at the lobby bar. We stayed in the Premium Beach Side rooms building 6 a great location. Easy and quick access to the pool, beach and breakfast/lunch buffet area. Dinner is at the lobby a [... read more]rea a quick ride by trolley. We did NOT stay at the level of the resort and we were comfortable and very happy with our choice. This is our second visit here and we love it! The weather was perfect….beach and pool side area clean and inviting with plenty of seating in and out of the sun. Several palapas available. Pool temperature was perfect along with an awesome swim up bar with fun and friendly servers. The pool area is quiet, no music allowed and that was okay with me and my friends. A quiet enjoyable atmosphere. The food was good, always a choice of salads, several types of meats…burgers, wings, chicken, beef dishes, pasta, cheese, breads, just to mention a few….. you won’t leave hungry. Wine not that good. The rooms are comfortable and clean, plenty of hot water and towels. I recommended bring your own wash cloths these are limited. They supply body wash and shampoo. We would leave a note in the morning to replenish the fridge with water, juice and beer etc. always accommodating us. The main part of the resort is on the beach and fairly large, but don’t be intimidated, it is easy to navigate. A golf cart will take you around the resort and up to the lobby, they will stop and pick you up along the way. Overall I highly recommend this Adult only Wellness Resort. It is truly Paradise. If you are looking to kick back, no stress type holiday this is for you. With serene atmosphere to an abundance of activities and amenities and what ever tickles your fancy, they have it. Swimming pool exercises, volleyball , yoga or just walking the long stretch of beautiful Bavaro Beach….this resort gets my vote.Returning next year.

Grand Bavaro Princess: Great Resort!

Grounds were clean. Carts were always available to move around the resort. Buffett service was excellent. however food was ok. Rooms were amazing with a balcony!! For a family resort it was surprising that guest were allowed to smoke everywhere, it was a bit uncomfortable with our grandchild. Beach was beautiful.. lots of room on the beach to spend a day. Overall great holiday!!

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Punta Cana: Amazing Resort

Although I am 80 years old, I enjoyed every aspect of the Hard Rock Hotel. I danced along with the younger ones, sang to all the songs that were played. All of the employees we dealt with seemed joyful, and very friendly and willing to help. There were activities and choices of food for everyone. Our only complaint was that on the pathways from the beach area (where our room was) to the main building are not well enough lit at night. it can be quite dangerous just trying to find your way.  [... read more] i would recommend adding more lighting at ground level to avoid accidents. Other than that, everything gave my daughter and I a very enjoyable, restful, fun-filled and well-needed break from the cold and the realties of daily living.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Best vacation ever!!!

Carol took care of everything…made sure it was a very smooth process….all document available it was fantastic…would book with her again and again…thanks for making my vacation awesome. The food was amazing, the whole place was so well kept…and the staff were amazing

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: amazing resort

we always enjoy our stays at iberostar punta cana ..rooms have now been upgraded ,fresh paint ,great air conditioning ..love that the door locks open with bracelet instead of carrying around a card to unlock doors ..cleaning staff and servers at all locations were awesome..they also got many new lounge chairs around the pools all in all just a great place to relax n refresh for 14 days ..

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Beautiful Resort

Resort was lovely. All staff greeted us with a smile and made us feel welcome. Food was fantastic except one night we had to wait one hour for a pizza. There was a mix up in the room, we had paid for a room with two double beds and when we got to the room there was only one king size bed. They tried to give us a cot but told them that we paid for 2 doubles and this was not acceptable. After many phone calls they found us a room with 2 double bed. Other that a mix up in the room and waiti [... read more]ng for a pizza I was completely satisfied and would certainly recommend this resort to friends.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Beautiful surroundings

This hotel was better 10 years ago. 1 out of maybe 15 staff spoke English. Not enough staff, long waits for buffet, drinks, questions to be answered, when a complaint was lodged NOTHING was done about it, no wifi in my room, husband's jacket was taken, pool and beaches was like being in a sardine can. Will never come back to this resort.

Ocean El Faro: Enjoyed

Modern, very well designed resort. Grandiose lobby, followed by promenade, surrounded with restaurants, shops and entertainment area. Spacious rooms well equipped with all necessary furniture. Surrounding gardens very well maintained.. Beach was not up to our expectations, rocky, it was windy at time we were there, Atlantic ocean can be wavy and not cozy for swimming. There is a small Laguna nearby where swimming is safe and easy, however this is not in the sight of hotel, therefore not main [... read more]tained. Side of Dominican that faces Caribbean see likely has better beaches and calmer see for swimming. We visited Saona island, it took about 8 hrs. driving and boating back and forth to spend about 4 hrs. on island (not the best organization of the trip), however it was worth, the island is beautiful. Service at excellent level and very friendly in all areas (restaurants, rooms, etc,), Entertainment group puts a lot of effort to keep us well entertained. Their English is much better than our Spanish. It took about 7 hours flight from my country, and about 1hr. drive from airport to this hotel.

Serenade All Suites Adults Only Resort: Beautiful New Resort

Beautiful new hotel. Service was great, rooms were large, comfortable and well appointed, beach was large and beautiful though not great for swimming as there were no waves and water was quite shallow, bars and service there was excellent, 3 large clean pools with varied noise and activity levels. Buffet was very good, didn’t try the alacartes but heard Steakhouse was very good. Would go again in a heartbeat !

Paradisus Grand Cana: Amazing

Amazing resort. Best expérience ever Thanks a lot Kateryna Mikhailiuk She is amazing.she follow me step by step, And I m glad to havé her as advicer So helpful , respectful, thé hôtel is a dream , best food ever

Paradisus Palma Real Golf and Spa Resort: Holiday stay.

It is a beautiful resort with an amazing beach and ocean to swim in. The hotel and rooms are beautiful. Unfortunately we had the disappointment of not receiving the ocean front room we had booked in the adult reserve section of the hotel. They did not have a room for us and we were assigned a suite in the family section far away from friends we travelled with. The manager promised to upgrade our experience with perks but we never heard from him. We are to receive a refund for the room differen [... read more]ce but it certainly negatively impacted our experience at the resort. We also had no contact with the concierge appointed to us because we were in the family side. We were very disappointed. Our friends in the Reserve section had unlimited alcohol, charcuterie boards etc. We had none of this though we had paid for it. We felt secluded from our friends. It was not the vacation we thought we had booked!

Ocean Blue and Sand: Amazing resort

Fantastic atmosphere , very friendly and clean resort. Very well maintained rooms, nice personnel ( koodos to our beautiful and lovely lady Rosalba who took care of us during our dining at the breakfast/dinner buffet ??). Entertainment at the resort was incredible ( Blue Team - you rock!!! ? ). Food was everything we could think of , delicious, lots of variety for everyone. If you are a lover of seafood that should be a place definitely on your list !!! We definitely enjoyed every moment there  [... read more]and will look forward to return again in near future.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Great Grounds and Beach

The hotel was nice, restaurants great food, beach nice and clean, as was pool. Friendly staff. However, our room, although clean, was infested with mosquitos every nite and we came home with bites all over our face, etc.

Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana: Nice resort overall.

First time staying at Dreams Royal Beach, we were in the preferred club with a suite (double the size of a standard room) which cost a bit more, but was really nice. The Preferred section is however quite far from the beach and most restaurants, so if you like walking, great. Otherwise there are golf carts that will take you all over the resort. The preferred section has just been completely renovated and is tiptop. There is a wonderful walking bridge over a lake that will take you to the main r [... read more]esort lobby, lots of birds, turtles, and even an iguana or two to try and spot. The restaurants were on the small side, which usually meant waiting to get a table at any of them, but no reservations were required save for the seafood restaurant. The buffet was definitely smaller with less food options than what we're used to, but the food was adequate. Staff are great. One thing that really irked my wife and I was the loud music everyday, even at the preferred club poolbar, in what should be the relaxing part of the resort. And at some times it wasn't even enjoyable music, hard rock and heavy metal are not what we want to hear when we come back from the beach and want to relax on our balcony a bit before dinner. I called our butler to ask the bar staff to turn down the music and re-examine their song choices to something more in line with a Caribbean vacation, which was accommodated quickly. Thank you Emmanuel! Towels are not an issue. There's tons of them everywhere, no card required, use as many as you like. Beach chairs/Pool chairs are in somewhat short supply, get up early if you want to claim your spot for the day. Towels will be removed by staff from unattended chairs if someone else complains they can't find a spot. This did create a few uncomfortable instances where someone who went for breakfast returned to their seats and found someone else sitting there. My suggestion is to bring something more than towels, such as a book, hat, beachbag, suntan lotion, etc. to leave at your chairs if you plan to be away from them for a bit. Make your chairs look "lived in". I was up every morning at 7 am, grabbed some chairs on the beach, left some low-value personal items and never had an issue with losing our spot. The beach was excellent, not a rock anywhere, just sand, sand, sand. Awesome. Seaweed gets cleaned up daily with a tractor. Overall I would recommend. It was a nice vacation. In comparing it to the Majestic Elegance Punta Cana (which we've stayed at 6 times, and love) I'd have to say they're on par. Each has different strengths and weaknesses, but for the money, you'll enjoy Dreams Royal Beach.

Grand Palladium Palace: Palladium 2024

Overall, we enjoyed our week at the resort. The room was excellent except for the design of the shower/bathtub. The bath was difficult to enter/exit and the shower tended to leak all over the floor unless you were extremely careful. The service at pools and restaurants was very good too. Food quality was OK but sometimes not very hot a buffets. We tried unsuccessfully to obtain VIP bracelets which we had enjoyed during our previous visits in 2019 and 2020. Desk staff couldn’t find our compete  [... read more]history with the resort and (supposedly) emailed their administration to obtain missing details. VIP status would have given us access to at least one restaurant that we had used before. All of this has been communicated in a survey requested by Palladium.

Grand Bavaro Princess: What amazing resort !!!

Amazing hotel, different from other hotels, its rooms are layout with a separate lounge and all of them has a balcony. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are cleaned on time . There are quite a few restaurants to choose from and couple of buffet and one is right on the beach area. Loved my stay here
