My husband and I went for a destination family wedding. We stayed in a preferred level room and enjoyed the adult only pool area, swim up bar and butler service. Zoro helped to make every day better! We also enjoyed the use of Breathless, particularly the French restaurant.

We enjoyed our time here and the staff was amazing! Breilin, our concierge was always quick to respond and provided us with any answers we needed. The grounds were clean and we loved the swim out room

We LOVED our experience! The place is very clean and the people are wonderful! If you’re looking for a great time and great food this is the place for you! Our room was a swim out to the bar which was pretty cool! We loved our mini fridge! The pool was very nice; we loved the lazy river that went around the pool slides!

The property was wonderful. But the staff made our trip. They were so friendly and accommodating. The people who serviced our room went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. There was always someone coming by when by the swim up pool, community pool or beach asking if we needed anything. Kudos the staff for making sure we were catered to.

Amazing holiday at Dreams Onyx. Service was great and staff are very helpful and friendly. Great food and a la carte restaurants. Pool is amazing and we loved having a swim up. First time in DR so we didn't know what to expect but it surpassed our expectations. We would highly recommend. Will be returning next year.

Great place! Swim up bars are great. Bartender Jhon in Prestigie Pool area

The kids loved it. Bunch of stuff to do. Food is hit or miss. But the pools are nice, loved the lazy river, and swim up bars. Just wish the pools stayed open later than 6pm. The “app” was nice to see what was going on for the day, just wish they kept it updated and gave a location - the property is really big!

The property is safe, good conditions. What I didn’t like was the humidity and smell on the rooms because of the private pool. the a/c units on rooms I did not like entertainment needs more attention. I was expecting more live music, better shows. But overall is ok. The buffet was repetitive and I got sick the first night. Customer service at front desk needs more attention. But I have to say that Maria (housekeeper) and Ricardo at the bar on the pool made our days better! Always smiling.

We had such an incredible stay at Ocean El Faro. We had a swim up suite so every day just had beautiful views and was so convenient. In addition we had a butler named Jose, he was so attentive and made sure my husband and myself were taken care of. He booked all reservations for us, made sure our room was stocked, and took care of any special requests. We could not say enough how great he was, would recommend requesting him personally if possible. Where we were located we took advantage of the Pool Bar by the lazy river. Omar and Danny saw us coming and would have our drink order ready for us, they were excellent. It’s also close to the beach entrance, which we enjoyed some evening walks on. Our favorite restaurant at the resort was Dolce Vita, it is one that requires a reservation. Our server Luis was also a favorite, his recommendations made for an even better evening. The resort is large, but they make sure it is so convenient with multiple pools, restaurants, and a trolley you can catch to help you get around. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Ocean El Faro and would love to visit again.

Kevin was our client specialist and he did an amazing job! He assured we had everything we needed and made reservations for us accordingly. It was a group of 19 of us and he handled it with such ease and made our stay amazing! The resort was beautiful,clean, and had alot of entertainment! It is great for families and also teens looking to have a good time. Foam parties, beach parties, shows, nightclub, and food was 10 out 10! Rooms are spacious but would definitely recommend the swimup room. The spa is also amazing and has a cold hydro therapeutic pool for relaxation. Will definitely stay again! Thank you Kevin and Ocean El Faro staff for making our vacation a great time!

Hotel is beautiful, food pretty good. Swimup pool was great.

The entire resort was extremely clean. The staff was so pleasant and professional. For an all inclusive, the food was really good and the variety was plentiful. Loved the Oceana and its location to the swim up bar.

Wonderful resort. Swim out king room was amazing. Property is beautiful and was not too crowded. Staff was friendly and helpful. Felt safe with security on the beach. Will return.

Great stay at Dreams. Kids loved the food and activities. Swim-up room was gorgeous. Staff was friendly. Butler was responsive. Girls in kids club were great. Overall great vacation!

Stayed in the preferred club junior swim out. First day I had to call to have the pool clean because there was leftover swimwear and dirt. This problem was resolved quickly. The timely manner of customer service needs some improvement. I did not think the VIP was worth it for this resort. No one really checks to see who is preferred and who is not. Butler service was just OKAY. Overall I did enjoy this resort, just need some improvements in different areas.

Second time at el faro, first time in El Beso, swim up room. Room exceeded expectation with private pool at our balcony.

the swim up pool the daily activities the hotel has for either family or Adults only. they have plenty of restaurants and , sports bar and Disco

I loved the room it was very beautiful. The swim up room was perfect especially when the pools close for the day.

Beautiful grounds. Swim-up rooms were great. The lagoon next to the hotel was the perfect place to swim. The El Beso part of the resort was fantastic, especially the adults-only restaurant on the beach. The lobby is beautifully designed and has a fascinating architectural concept, and the lobby bar and piano bar were really elegant. The buffets were surprisingly good for an all-inclusive resort.

We had 2 concierges Marcos and Carlos that made our 2 week honeymoon here fantastic! The weather is super hot and humid compared to where we live, so we were constantly asking Marcos and Carlos for more waters and sodas for our room. They both also helped with booking reservations for us at the reservation restaurants like Sakura and Dolce Vita. Housekeeping was amazing and always kept our room sparkling clean whenever we asked or didn't have the "do not disturb" sign up after a night of drinking lol. The bartenders were amazing and constantly kept our drinks full, even from our swim up pool. All servers at the restaurants and buffets were super attentive and very friendly. We did happen to get sick mid way through our stay and our one concierge, Carlos, made sure we were given extra waters and even had a free continental breakfast delivered to our room. You will never walk past a worker here that isn't smiling! The lagoon to the left of the resort was absolutely beautiful and even had a horse on the shore that was extremely friendly. Bingo was a big tradition during our stay and was always hosted by someone great and super energetic. We also really loved the foam party at the party pool on the El Beso side. We met tons of great people during our stay and this is definitely one to remember.

I stayed at the Ambar Beautiful resort, room Beautiful, pools Beautiful. I wish the swim up pools were heated. The only issue was that the staff didnt know what was going on. Everyone gave you a different answer. Front desk should be on the same page with information. But amazing place to stay.

Awesome property with lots of dinner choices and great entertainment. Rooms are clean and the turn down service was awesome. The swim up pool was a real bonus. We will be back in the fall.

We loved the swim up room, the pool, and beach. The staff were incredible.

Staff is amazing,property is clean and beautiful rooms are immaculate down side beach is beautiful but definitely a lot of seaweed so we didn’t really get to enjoy the beach but our swim up pool was amazing

I loved my swim up JR suite , that was probably the best part of my stay. Not much activity going on at this resort so if your just trying to relax i would recommend. The food was mediocre, all the staff was pleasant. Everyone was very nice and welcoming very safe resort.

I joined the diamond club after 3 days and felt like the most special person in the world. My butler Roberto was my favorite part. He catered to me because of my medical issue. He made food reservations, let me know the daily activities and was quick to respond to my requests. I had an issue where I needed to go to the resort Doctor. Roberto walked me to the doctor and stayed with me until I was done. The doctor was amazing. He was Thorough and spent a long time with me not just a quick 15 minute exam. Let me clarify this was my issue nothing to do with the resort. I got moved to a room that has the swim out pool attached to your patio. Amazing!! Splurge and get it. Totally worth it. The beach is beautiful and sitting in comfortable loungers sipping a drink was magical. The drinks flowed freely and were never watered down. Everyone from the gardeners to top management say hello all with a smile on their face. I don’t know how they do it but many staff even remember your name. I felt completely safe and never worried about anything at all. The food was 5 star in my opinion. The buffet really stands out for me. The set up was not only delicious but pleasing to the eyes. There are 7 different restaurants if I remember correctly. Every day and nite there is fun entertainment. I didn’t experience the nite life but it sounded like everyone was always enjoying themselves. The area was clean, rooms clean and comfortable. The grounds were so green and impeccable.

I love d the resort I loved the staff very attentive I love the buffet I loved the Italian restaurant the pools that wasn't under construction were great and they had pool parties. Resort is right on the beach besutiful

The convenience of having everything close was exciting as to the pool the beach the food facilities. The concierge service with Jean and Cesar are first class as well as the in room cleanliness but the bathrooms around the pool area would need to be cleaned more often. The entertainment and the bar service was excellent. The thing I did not like was when they tried to push that time sharing or whatever you call it.when you get in the office everyone is nice they shake your hand and are being very friendly but after several attempts to sell you and you don’t buy it they get up and leave without even shaking your hand it was very disrespectful and the worst part is I was actually considering to buy it. All that said yes I would come back to Royalton but there is no way I would go to one of those time share meeting again.

I read many reviews and watched many videos before going to this hotel. I chose to pay extra for the diamond club for the room’s view (not the pool area or snack lounge). There are no elevators at this resort so you will be walking. The pool furniture is pretty outdated. The hot tub wasn’t so hot. The food offerings were pretty slim. I heard the same six (remixed) songs on repeat for days. If you don’t book the diamond club your room could be in a building that would require a bit of walking. I do think it was worth what we paid for, although I wish there were more healthier options. While I wouldn’t return back to this specific resort in the DR, I would try their sister location in Cancun. It’s also a 40min ride from the airport.

Loved the beach! Having a swim up room was really nice. The restaurants were better than the buffet. Only complaint was the people trying to get you to upgrade to executive membership got annoying.

Facilities were absolute wonderful. Pool, room(includes the best couple shower ever!), restraunts, bars all look and operate to the best! Everyone were so kind and nice for us. Room with pool access - absolutly worth it.

Hotel service is first class. Staff were very attentive and always with a positive vibe. So mamy amazing food options. I Deffinitely recommend to make your reservations for restaurants uppon check in. The room i booked was the swim up bedroom right across the pool bar, perfect location. Bayahibe is the best beach i've seen in Dominican Republica.

Entertainment staff were very engaging. Overall, the staff were very friendly and efficient. Good variety of restaurants that were all bookable. The variety of the breakfast was good (great mimosas at Bloved). Swim up bar. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Good variety of entertainment (although it took some time to get going some nights). We could always find a sun lounger. Dance classes were intense but enjoyable. Quite pool areas to relax. We needed to check out late so the hotel booked us in to their shower room.

We enjoyed our 5- night stay at this hotel. Our duplex room with private pool had everything we wished for and even more ! The maid provided the necessary services. We spend time on the beach with white sand and turquoise water .. had diving and snorkelling tours .. had fine dining in the hotel’s restaurants . Minor inconvenience were loud evening shows. Although some guests enjoyed entertainment, we would prefer this activity would not be next to the private guest rooms.

Had a wonderful time. Great service and staff was amazing. Loved our preferred options with swim up pool. Food was good, but not great. Certainly better than a cruise.

Very calm and modern resort The food was good, the drinks were great, and their staff are amazing. If you get a room with pool, swim up, that is a plus. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at secrets Tides and are very much looking forward to our next visit. You must get a swim out room and please eat the Entraña at Tierra restaurant. Drinks are great as well as entertainment.

The bar tender at the swim up bar alberly made sure it was amazing time for me and my wife he was amazing with the drinks and good company I enjoyed my self

Waitstaff and bartenders were all excellent. our butler was very helpful with all of our reservations and any needs. Swim up bar bartenders and food truck waitress by rooms were very excellent and LaTorres wait staff was excellent and very helpful.

Rodney was our Expedia butler and he was terrific! The resort was amazing, the people are amazing and the food was so very good. Put this trip on your list and make sure you get the Jr swimup suite.

We had a great time at TRS Turquesa. Our swimout suite was great, and our area was very quiet. We had a peaceful beachside massage one morning, and spent most of our days by our pool. The restaurants were all very good, and there was always a variety of food. A huge shout-out to Norielis (Noris), our butler; she was incredible! She managed all of our reservations for dinner and was so helpful with our requests. Our vacation would not have been the same without her!

Great dinner options . Beautiful property - beach area pools - swim up room was a plus - my butler Edward amazing - attentive , great Communication and also allowed privacy, no complaints. . Main lobby - stop by and see La “JEFA “ Mrs altagracia - great customer Service quick and friendly . We hope to come back :) thank you TRS -

I stayed at end suite at the castle with a private pool, the ocean view was spectacular and the room was excellent, great steak restaurant !

The property is beautiful and our swim up room was perfect. The staff were all wonderful, especially Emilio, our butler. The food choices were good but I was not happy with the taste. The beach was unusable due to the seaweed. The smell is bad but it’s the time of year it comes in and it’s all over. Overall, we had a relaxing stay but nightlife could be better.

I had an amazing time here with my friend! All of the staff was extremely helpful. Everyone was so kind and genuinely very happy to be there. It did not feel like work to the staff, they enjoyed making our trip very amazing. Felix, Yeremi, Emmanuel, John are just some names to name! Amazing place, lots of dining options and pool options! The beach is also right near the pool area! There’s music on the speakers for the pool area during the day and an amazing swim up bar. Even though there were a lot of people at the swim up bar, I never had to wait more than 2 mins for my beverages! When you are in the pool area there are a lot of staff members that come constantly to make sure you’re good and if you need anything! I did not pay for a single thing once I got on the property! I only tipped when necessary.

We had a wonderful trip at The Sanctuary. This was our third time being there. The service was wonderful. We had our own Butler, whose name was Emilio. He was extremely nice and extremely helpful. Anytime we needed anything I could message him on WhatsApp and he responded immediately. All of the staff is a pleasure. Everyone is friendly and warm. The pools are beautiful. The people who work at the pools are wonderful and very friendly. Felix was great. He and the other employees at the pool always made sure that we had our chaise lounge each morning and umbrella and towels and anything we needed. Mari is in charge of a lot of social events there. I took a dance class with her one day. She is lovely and a pleasure! There was terrific music entertainment. One night there was a saxophonist who was particularly amazing. The only thing that could be better at the sanctuary is the food.

There was excellent, good and bad. Ill start with the excellent The resort itself is very clean which is a huge plus. The seaweed was also delt with expertly. Good. The food was serviceable. We had the steakhouse twice which was good, the italian place twice it was the best resturant with the most options in my opinion, blue marlin once was for dinner was also good. The pizza place was the highlight! The room we were in was in the non updated section we also had friends in the vastle section and another couple in the updated section so i saw them all. Our room was large and clean. The shower had low pressure but there was always hot water. Pool areas were well kept up. Pool bar was nice and they were quick. Beach bar was nice. The biggest downsides forthis trip were 1. We were forgotten about at check in. We sat where we were told to for 45 mins prior to us going to ask what was going on. There was no welcome drink really it was a mess so not a great start. 2. I bought several bottles of wine in addtiin to the all inclusive. This process was quite slow. It was not streamlined at all and took sometimes upwards of 30 mins to figure out what to do where to go ect. In my opinion if soneone wants to spend additional money at an all inclusive resort it should happen quickly. 3. There were several days where there were no pool towels. Then we got the they will be here in 10mins.....it was more like 2 hours. Just be honest about the timing.

This was our first time staying at the Bahia Principe and everything was great! From the swim up pool in my room to the wonderful staff and excellent dining options I could not have been happier.

I was upgraded to a swim up room , very happy about it. The resort is beautiful with many activities. The food is good but could be excellent if the cook knows what how to cook and training the other people who work in the kitchen. The fishes and meat with no taste and dry.

The beach was just a short walk from our room beautiful beach and great staff. I would definitely go back. Me and my kids were there for a week. Also... get the swim up if you have kids!

I enjoyed ti have a private pool for my family. Also the different kind of activities every day for everyone.

Loved the Bahia Esmeralda! The swim up room was a hit with the kids. Tons of dining options through the Bahia resort area, make reservations in advance through the app. Steps to the beach! I found there were plenty of chairs and seating areas. Our favorite spot was the Atabey beach bar, Kelvin was an amazing bartender.

I liked a lot about this hotel! LOCATION !! We walked to everything in the historic, Colonial Zone, including some amazing restaurants in the evening. Breakfast Coffee & croissant complementary and delicious and $ Breakfast in lobby also very good - egg chef cooks to order. Boutique feel to the hotel - beautiful spaces and art, sunny courtyard for lounging and dinning, small but cozy rooftop pool with bar, tables and a couple of lounging spaces. ( they served Valentines dinner poolside with music the night we were there). It is a small hotel - you can look up from the open-air court yard and pretty much see all the rooms. Staff were all very accommodating. Very clean and well maintained. They front desk hooked us up with a driver who works for them ( Felix ) who was WONDERFUL.

Lovely hotel. Fabulous amenities. Central location. Excellent customer care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this exceptional hotel. Every member of the staff was accommodating, kind, and respectful. The rooms were unique and comfortable. Any (minor) complaint we had was quickly remedied. Great value for the price! We made the rooftop pool our second home for most of the week we were there. The coffee, the pizza next door, the room service. Even the common areas were a delight for hanging out. Everything was beyond our expectations!

Nice boutique hotel in a historic building in a great location. Staff was very friendly, place was clean, and breakfast was ok. There is an outdoor sitting area on the first floor and a rooftop pool and bar.

The layout of the hotel with its small waterfall, rooftop pool and garden, gives it a very private small boutique hotel feeling. The breakfast was plentiful with a variety of choices to eat.

Breakfast had abundant choices if the breakfast option is chosen at purchase of room. Fresh and tasty. Location in a central area of the "Zona Colonial, Nice pool and rooftop dining.

Staff was kind. Most of the food was really good, especially the dinner in Zen. Lucy makes the best Espresso Martini of the group. The adult pools and swim up bar are a nice touch to relax, and of course the beach.

Property is beautiful, staff is friendly, and drink are on point. Elite club swim-up rooms are AMAZING!!!I Food was okay, not a amazing... could use some improvement for those that know what true Dominican cuisine actually tastes like.

Overall the Rui Palace Bavaro is a beautiful property and location. Beach: The beach location was very well kept with plenty of chairs for visitors. Pools:There were plenty of pools and chairs, at any time of day. Elite Restaurant/Bar: The elite club locations throughout the resort were very clean and well maintained. Restaurants: The restaurants were okay. Downfall was the long lines to get in, even with a reservation (elite members could make reservations at all restaurants, but there was no line for elite members) Room Service: Room service offers a decent variety of foods and was very quick with the delivery. Swim Up Pool: The pool was somewhat small and only 3.5” deep. (Would definitely recommend you bring a blowup float if you select this type of room)

We recently stayed at Hotel Riu Palace Bavaro and had an absolutely wonderful experience! The property has been beautifully renovated – everything felt fresh, clean, and very well maintained. We chose to stay in the Elite Club section, and it made the trip even more special. Check-in was quick and seamless thanks to the Elite Club privileges. Our room was excellent – we stayed in a swim-out room, and it was peaceful, private, and perfect for relaxation with no crowds or rush. The Elite Club pools were equally impressive – upscale, beautifully kept, and surprisingly quiet, giving a very exclusive and laid-back vibe. The beach was another highlight – absolutely gorgeous with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the stunning ocean views. Restaurants were generally very good, with only a few minor misses here and there, but overall, I would rate the dining experience a solid 7–8/10. Plus, there were always plenty of drink options available everywhere, so no complaints at all in that department! A special shout-out to the Splash Water Park – it was so much fun! The rides were exciting, and it added an extra layer of enjoyment to the trip, especially for families and adventure seekers. Overall, I would rate our experience a 10/10. Hotel Riu Palace Bavaro truly offers a fantastic all-inclusive experience, and we can't wait to return!

We loved the swim up suite! It was perfect for our family of 5

Paradisus is a great property and scenic views. Always stay in a Master suite or better if more than two people. Swim up rooms are also ideal. Good food and great service. The only thing I didn’t like is being bothered to see the MELIÁ presentations. I have been at 3 different Paradisus properties and they all do the same thing. I’m not interested in the presentations which I have done on two separate occasions. Again other than that it was a great property and a great stay. Will return and stay at Grand Cana swim up rooms.

First off, our concierge Christopher was the best. He took excellent care of us and our dinner reservations. Always made sure we were good. The hotel is very beautiful, but could use a few upgrades. Some of the bedroom doors have gaps in the wood. There’s only one hook in the bathroom area for your towels. There’s no shelves. The AC could be a little cooler. It won’t go below 69 degrees and that’s not cool enough in a hot and humid climate. We woke up damp in sweat both nights. The mini bar and snacks are nicely stocked, but the fridge isn’t cold. The beverages feel tap warm. The pools are all nice. Great service and super nice staff. Pedro and Greivin were great at the pool bars. They made sure we were always good and made great drinks. You have to go see them if you’re there. The beach is nice, but really hated all passersby trying to sell us something. Whether it was braids, massages, excursions, photo opps….we just wanted to relax and it made it a bit difficult. The water was also a bit murky. The restaurants were a hit or miss. Buffet was always cold and bland. Sante wad ok. Food wasn’t the best. The lava cake was not good. I didn’t like that one of the servers kept insisting we ask for drinks even after I told her repeatedly that we were good. Flora Cena was good. Andrea was the best server. Such a beautiful soul. Entertainment is lacking a bit. Need more fun activities. The Kicks bar could have some cards, board games, or jenga.

The property was beautiful and there were pools for everyone. Never been to a property with so many pools. Property has amazing dinner options and restaurants. However, I had a bathroom showered that flooded and was never repaired. Booked 2 rooms but was given rooms on opposite ends of the property. So my mother was alone on other side of property. Front desk staff did not work hard to correct this error.

We returned to Paradisus Palma Real in April 2025 after a great experience in 2023. Having stayed in many North American resorts, this review reflects a seasoned perspective. 1. The food remains excellent—diverse, high quality, and consistent with our last visit. I hope they maintain this standard. 2. The resort is exceptionally clean. 3. Staff are friendly and helpful across the board. 4. The beach is beautiful. We’re not sun-lovers, so the shaded huts near the water with comfy beds were perfect for relaxing while enjoying the sea breeze and view. It’s calmer than Aruba but still lively. 5. Restaurants are a highlight—the food, design, and ambiance are top-notch. The oceanfront breakfast buffet is especially memorable, both for the food and the stunning view. 6. Nightlife has improved since 2023, with better music and dancing. My wife loved it. Be sure to reserve restaurants in advance. 7. The pools are great—our child had a blast. 8. The kids’ club is excellent. Our child enjoyed it both times. 9. The spa is available, though we didn’t use it. That said, upselling spa services doesn’t work unless there’s a clear value. What makes it better or unique? We all get spa services in our countries. Why should we get it here with higher or same price? They also have photography service which i found to be very overpriced. Overall, this resort continues to impress and deliver a great family experience.

We loved the property!!! The grounds are beautiful & clean. The staff especially our butlers were very attentive to our every need. The swim up suites are awesome!!! One of the best vacations we have ever been on.

Staff, swim up suite, property amenities.

My wife and I stayed for 5 days. The hotel was next to the beach. Our room had a pool and ocean view. The staff was polite and very helpful. There are a couple of restaurants with different cuisine. The food was great and well arranged, especially for dinner. I would recommend the TRS Turquesa hotel to anyone who wants a nice vacation.

Staff was amazing. Room service was great. Pools were clean. Property didn't feel overcrowded, always felt like you have privacy, but could interact with other guests if you wanted.

Property very convenient Swim up building 5 looks good

Our butler Nelson took care of us from the beginning of our stay (getting us a corner swim out) to the end! Always making sure to get us the dinner reservations needed & any other special requests were taken care of without delay! He was awesome & a hard worker for us all! All of the staff were fun & friendly. Maria & Erica mainly were our poolside waitresses, always had a smile & never passed by without checking in on us. Thanks everyone for making our stay memorable.

We were in one of swim out rooms of the Diamond Club. Christian was our butler and Patricia that works in the Diamond club both made our experience great while we were there. They both deserve a 10 Plus. And the food at the buffets to the other restaurants were awesome too. I’ve mentioned this place to coworkers and will definitely come back to visit this place again in the future.

Royalton DR was a recommendation from another satisfied traveler we know. The resort was lovely, our swim out room was such a cool feature, the ocean & beach were gorgeous. But the people are what make the resort. From our Butler Noraya to bartender Santos (who has the moves!) to our waiter at Jade - Hector. The people are kind, patient, & work very hard to ensure you have a great experience.

The staff was very friendly and attentive…especially our butler Johnny! We were able to get into every restaurant at least once. Rooms were restocked with beverages and bottled water daily. The water park was a pleasant surprise as well…spent hours there. Rode every available slide (one slide down for maintenance). We had the DC swim-up suite.

This is a beautiful new resort Very relaxing Swim up suite was amazing Played tennis, did Pilates Enjoyed the drinks and delicious seafood Staff were very helpful and friendly at all times Property is immaculate

Very relaxing property! The staff was very attentive and caring. I definitely will be back. Would recommend the the master swim up suite!

The staff were excellent, friendly, fun and attentive. My only complaint is the cleanliness of the pool. The main pool was alway clean an crystal clear. However, the “lagoon” area around ours and all the other swim up suites desperately needed a good vacuuming. They are surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, no doubt difficult to maintain, but they really need a better solution.

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel—it was perfect for the quiet vacation and downtime we were looking for. Our room, 5002 (the Master King Swim-Up Suite), had everything we needed: a spacious living area with a kitchenette, and a bedroom with essentially two bathrooms—each with its own vanity in separate areas. I tend to wake up earlier than my husband, so being able to close the bedroom door while I made coffee was a great touch. The room layout was incredibly convenient and thoughtfully designed. The food at the resort was pretty good overall, but the presentation was outstanding—every dish looked beautiful. While the hotel isn't directly on the beach, it's only a quick 2-minute ride down by cart. The beach itself was stunning, and the beach restaurant was a highlight. The food there was decent, and while the service could have been better, we really appreciated how peaceful and quiet it was. We also ventured out to a restaurant called Jellyfish and ended up going twice—it was absolutely worth the extra money for a nicer dinner experience. A quick tip: bring some cash for tipping. You tend to get slightly better service when you tip a few dollars here and there. Overall, this resort was a wonderful spot for a relaxing getaway, and we’d definitely consider coming back.

Master suite with pool access was a dream. Spacious with 2 jacuzzi’s one inside and one outside. Private gazebo by the pool. Restaurants were amazing with healthy food options all day long. Table portions were conscious of amount to avoid wasting food. If still hungry you can ask for more. Different activities offering every day with physical and handcrafting options perfect to relax and mindfulness. At night, also different activities to entertain without being too loud for those who prefer more quiet options. Entertainment personnel with a lot of enthusiasm and cordial communication and engagement with visitors. Pool area spacious and clean.

Very good value ($30 USD) for 2 people in July 2020. Excellent security. WiFi worked very well and rooms had TV, small fridge, A/C, ceiling fan, good shower with hot water. Hand sanitizer is free and located throughout the property. Try to get a room overlooking the pool. The pool was clean and a welcome respite after a day at the beach. You can walk to a big supermarket OLÉ in about 10 minutes. The beach is just a 3 minute walk away. Mr. Thierry and his staff are very friendly and welcoming. It's a very cheap taxi or Uber ride to SDQ airport. I used Uber to go to Juan Dolio, Santo Domingo, and the airport. All easy, safe, and cheap. Recommended.

the wall of the swimming pool was disgusting. i never used the pool.

We had a really unpleasant experience at the previous hotel we stayed and when we came to casa coco we were surprised at how better it was. The owner was really nice and could speak English so it made it easier for me to talk to him and he went out of his way to help us with our luggage and get us settled in and when we were leaving he tried helping us get a taxi at a better price. The room was clean and tidy and I heard the rooms got renovated recently and it shows us here although the tv may need a upgrade since all the channels were in Spanish but i would just be nick picking at this point there were some things I wanted to tell the owner but I forgot to tell him which is my fault for not telling him sooner there’s also a pool and a breakfast only restaurant in the middle of the hotel that’s was close to our room. Although we only stayed for one day if we ever come back to boca chica we would definitely come back here I forgot to ask the owner’s name but thanks for everything.

This my favorite hotel in RD. It is small and is immaculate. The pool area, surrounded by flowering plant covered walls reminds me a a secret garden image from some children's novel. There are more flowering plants than chaise lounges. The staff here are constantly cleaning and pruning the plants. The owner, who I think is Swiss, cares as much about his hotel as he does about his guests. The restaurant only serves breakfast. The portions are good and the large slices of cantaloupe, mango and pineapple served with most of the menu selections have always been perfectly ripe in my experience. The rooms are very clean and as well maintained as the rest of the hotel. The furnishings are dated but spotless. the shower water pressure is great and the hot water is just that: HOT, not the tepid temperature many, more expensive hotels pass off. This is a great place to stay. The fact that it is also a great value is icing on the cake.

This Hotel it’s very small, but it is so comfortable and the staff members are so sweet and so nice. The pool is clean. It’s very affordable. I recommend this place 10 out of 10. I loved it.

The swim up master suite was phenomenal. The hotel is very well maintained. Staff is extremely attentive and friendly. Best vacation ever. We will be returning.

Friendly staff. Clean. Plenty of activities. Good food. Swim Up room was amazing.

This Place is Wonderful. Honestly the service was impeccable from check in to check out ! Family friendly resort with endless things to do. We did a clear boat tour and did snorkeling as well as saw dolphins! The beach is wonderful as well. The water park for kids is a plus. All dine in places had amazing dishes and cannot complain about anything. The grounds are kept very clean and you will never see anything dirty!! Family concierge upgrade is a MUST! The swim up suite was delightful and rooms are amazing! I could go on and on about this place. I will be returning

June 7th to June 14th 2025- 7 nights-Family of four with two daughters, graduate school age, so our first priority in picking a resort was spacious accommodations. Paradisus Grand Cana delivered on that priority. We booked a two-bedroom, two bath, family concierge, Master swim-up suite. Nearly 3,000 square feet. Gorgeous resort. In brand-new like condition. Pristine. The landscape is exquisitely manicured. Massive center pool, inner and outer rings swim-up pools, and a waterpark at close proximity. The result is that the place never felt overcrowded. The resort in not on the beach, but it was never a show-stopper for us. A fleet of golf carts transport guests to and from the beach. One needs to carry only themselves, and perhaps some sunscreen. Beach chairs, towels, restaurant, etc...await your arrival at the beach. I walked to the beach. About 13 to 15 minutes. You see, I've got to get my daily steps in. My iWatch insists upon it. There are several restaurants here. Our concierge, Thaina Decire, booked our diners and concierge inclusive excursions. We tried Karnica, Tori, Machu, and Rubi Rocks with mixed family reviews. We achieved a consensus with Origen and ended up sticking with it for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Origen is a spectacular buffet restaurant. There is something delicious to eat at Origen even for those with the most discerning palates. Superior service here. The family concierge is worth the dollar stretch. Thaina is an exceptional concierge.

Paradisus Grand Cana - resort was amazing, new and luxurious. The ground and the property was always kept clean. We stayed for a week and had a blast. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Our swim up room was great - ample space, clean and comfortable. Patio and jacuzzi were excellent. Special shout out to - Yuberkis at buffet during dinner time. She always had a smile on and went above and beyond every time. We couldn’t get a reservation on the night we arrived for my birthday but she went above and beyond to make my night memorable. I can’t thank her enough. Also, two servers at the main pool. I think their names were Francisco and Leonardo. They were amazing, always on top of our orders, and always with big smiles 😊 on their face. Even though it was scorching hot some of the days. Staff there definitely made our stay much better. Only recommendation I can suggest - opening the restaurants earlier including the buffet. With small children and elderly - earlier dinner would have been better for us. Also, it was extremely hard to get reservations for the restaurants so we just stuck with the buffet. Only went to Tori 1 night for dinner. Only available times were 8:30 or 9:30 pm. That’s too late for us. Other than that no other issues. We had a blast. We will definitely be back!

we had the perfect room. With an amazing ocean view and swimout pool. the bed and pillows were so comfortable. I wouldn’t change a thing. this is truly a 5 star hotel

Amazing hotel. Service was excellent. 6 restaurants for dinner to choose from. The food was amazing. Every day there was a full schedule of activities you could get involved in. Swim out pool (hotel room option) was great.

Amazing service, top-notch food & location. The resort has lots of fun activities and free water sports equipment like paddleboards, kayaks, and sailboats. Evening shows are fun, especially the Queen tribute and the Michael Jackson show in the lobby. Cocktail bars are superb, and the staff is extremely friendly and fun! This is our second time returning to this resort, and both times we rented a beach facing swim out preferred club, which I'd definitely recommend!

The pools and beach areas were paradise! The infinity pool overlooking the ocean was our favorite spot to relax, and the beach was pristine with soft, white sand. The poolside service was impeccable, ensuring we always had a refreshing drink in hand.

The hotel itself is not very big, so it felt like I was visiting a friend in the suburbs: it’s very quiet and you literally live in the garden, full of trees, flowers and birds. I was there in off season, so I was the only guest and I had the pool to my own. The room was super cozy and comfortable, I had everything I needed. I liked Nikki’s attention to details everywhere around the property: starting with styling of the room and ending with beach stuff available for you (like umbrellas, beach fridge, etc). Breakfasts were simple but very delicious. There’s a kitchen outdoors with BBQ facilities. The whole property is behind the barrier and the territory felt very safe, there are also several parking spots at the property. Each room has its own internet router, and the quality was pretty good. At first I couldn’t find a way to the beach, so ask for directions in advance, but when I finally got there, I could see why people were saying about semi-private beach in reviews: not very big, quite clean, no restaurants or sunbeds (although might be because I was in off season there). Bella-the-dog was accompanying me to the beach and guarding me there all the time :) there are also three very cuddly kitties on the territory :) Overall I liked the place very much, Nikki is super nice and helpful, it felt like home. I will definitely recommend this place and stay there again if I’m back to the country.

My wife and I were looking for a small quiet little get away in the DR; we could not have asked for more! Nikki, the owner is kind and sweet and does her very best to accommodate her guests. Everything was impeccably clean; the mattress was very comfortable, quiet air conditioning and a relaxing environment. You'll find a nice little secluded beach a mere 2 minute walk from the pool. It is very safe and no one bothered us. It has no chairs for sitting down so bring towels if you want to laze around, but we thoroughly enjoyed its more abandoned or secluded feel. The complex is equipped with a gaz and charcoal bbq and each room has its own little fridge so you can store some food and drinks. Nikki has received certification for her water; I drank it, it tasted fresh and I wasn't sick, but if you'd rather bring your own water you can also do that. If you're looking for the all included high volume beach resort, this is not the place for you; however if you're looking for a nice quiet B&B experience down south and you enjoy making your own food or going out to restaurants then you'll be hard pressed to find a better place than Garden by the Sea. I thought this was last trip to RD, but after finding this little jewel I'm very tempted to book another trip soon.

It was great staying at Garden by the Sea. Its really close to the main town, airport, and beach. Also there is a private beach just a simple 3- 6 minute walk (depending on how fast you walk) It was my first time in Dominican Republic but the rooms are great, you have your privacy, the pool was well maintained, the breakfast in the morning. AMAZING. The staff was just wonderful! I stayed for 5 nights, and really enjoyed myself. Playa Sosua has some really great snorkeling areas and really cheap also. The owner also uses Solar panels for additional power, which I loved since it is a greener method. The Dominican Republic is prone to some power outages, and it actually happened to me at the airport also, but that's why I'm happy the owner uses Solar panels just for those occasions!

HI All Booking .com guest friends. I Came to Sosua for my Spanish lessons Cours, and im really happy to find this peaceful place be owned by special , lovely person NIKKY ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Everithing here is so great ... Atmosphere, family staff , clean rooms, perfect pool , plants , beach , Mnamy breakfast , kind people guest .... After 2 weeks I have spend at Garden by the Sea Sosua I was crying to leave ...

The rooms are very tidy and the furniture & fittings modern and beautiful. You really feel relaxed, the moment you are there. very beautiful Garden/ pool area and even the option to make BBQs. It is an oasis for spending holidays. If we travel back to Sosua for sure we will book Garden By the Sea again.

Armando and Houston were the best! They provided great butler service, answering all of our questions and making sure our stay was the best it could be. My husband and I did get a couple's massage during this trip and I must say that this was our only complaint. The massage was horrible. Massage lacked pressure although we booked a deep tissue Swim out suite was nice but we didn't utilize much due to the pool needed to be cleaned, skimmed of bugs and there was a lot of sand at the bottom of the pool.

The experience was amazing. The Butler service, Armando/Houston, was outstanding and met every request made. The first day I requested extra water and ice, I did not have to ask for that anymore. My ice was refilled without asking. They did a flower arrangement for my wife, which included heart-shaped flowers in the Jacuzzi tub with bubbles. We were pleased with all of the staff, and many were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Glady at breakfast and lunch. You want eggs cooked to order, look for her on the grill. LeBron (AKA the Goat), we debated that l said, Michael Jordan is the Goat, he was in many places and very funny. Samuel, the waiter this gentleman was truly amazing every morning at breakfast. He remembered to get my wife a mimosa and to have ice on my table, coffee, and light cream. I never had to remind him or ask him for anything. Mr. Smile, thank you for the Spanish lesson and the archery lesson. Ms. Dai, thank you for teaching me how to play the game of tossing the balls, the dancing lesson, and your Twerking. Mr. Fritz, I cannot forget you. Thank you for showing and explaining all of the amenities of the resort. Thank you for everything. We had the swim-out suite with personal butlers, Room 7034. They clean your room twice a day and refresh your towels. I have no complaints about this resort. I enjoyed everything about it. If you want a great cabana, look for number 45. It is surrounded by trees. So you get the shade and the breeze off the beach.

Picked a Swim Out w Butler. Everything nice until the morning when we found out we were next to the loading ramp, had to move due to unbearable noise. The app for texting the butler is worthless had to use wassap w them. Butler svc adds no value, you can do what they do for you, all they do is relay everything to others and do not get things done faster (1 buttler per floor). Now, the rooms were nice, facilities clean, quiet, no kids, no regueton. Shows were nice and staff was friendly. Food and drinks were good. I would recommend it for a peaceful retreat. 4 nights was enough. Must go to Coco Bongo in the Gold Members section (eat before)

Amazing grounds and breathtaking views. Rooms are just as beautiful as the landscaping, maintenance and housekeeping were a plenty keeping things clean and tidy. Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful, some a bit inexperienced. Requests for simple items took some time to receive or were forgotten. Nothing horrendous or superior just adequate service. Swim out room was very convenient and a pleasure to have especially on a on and off rainy day, but placement near the access road was a bit noisy. Always an activity to keep busy with during the day or evening, and overall well worth the cost for an all inclusive vacation.

My wife and I visited the JOIA Bavaro late May early June. The place was very nice and the food was some of the best we’ve ever eaten at an all- inclusive. Make sure you request Junior for your butler if you can. He is a very personable assistant and will see that your every need is met! He and his counterpart, Valentin arranged for a beautiful rose pedal evening celebration for my wife and I to celebrate our 46th anniversary. The entertainment team is a blast. Make sure you say hi to Jacinto wherever you find him, behind the pool bar or out on the grounds. The foam party is a great time, make sure you look for it at the pool on Fridays. Don’t miss the Gala event at the buffet on Thursday night, it is the best display of seafood, sushi and desserts you could imagine! The beach unfortunately had a lot of sargasso seaweed but the resort did all they could do to remove it. Bali bed game is real, so if you want your favorite location you will need to get up early to mark it. Overall, this is a great resort made much better by the people that work here. The beach is still amazing and outside of the sargasso season is one of the best in the world!

The property was beautiful, clean and serene. Our room was amazing, especially the swim up. Our concierge Simeon was the BEST!!! Overall, the service was top notch. I felt like I was home and can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful resort. The resort is beautiful and quiet exactly what is needed when escaping long work weeks. We had a swim up suite which was perfect if we wanted the beach it was a short walk, if not we could just float in the pool outside our room. Staff were amazing.our concierge Amada was there to help even when wanting to plan a little surprise for my wife. While at the pool we were taken care of by Esther who was always smiling and making sure we were taken care of.Esther would bring us beverages just when we needed them and even assisted us at the lunch area. Staff at this resort is very friendly and helpful . This resort is for pure relaxation- no loud music or disorderly patrons.

The most fun and perfect vacation our family has ever had. The resort was beautiful, the service was unmatched, and the staff was incredible. Our concierge became like family to us during our stay- if anyone has worked with Jose Simeon, you will never be in better hands. He, and the rest of the staff were there for us with any request, any recommendation, and anything to make our stay more fun and relaxing. The wellness aspect of the resort is what resonated the most with the 5 of us- we brought our 3 teenagers with us, and they loved every second of it. the food was incredible, mixing various fare from around the world each night in beautiful restaurants. Our food servers and staff (Maria (manager), Millennia, Johanna, Elvis, and Manuel served with care and excellence, and always with a smile (and well placed jokes) that made us feel so comfortable and cared for. The villa we had was out of this world- and if a minor issue popped up, someone was there in minutes to take care of it. We will be returning to Zoetry properties around the world, and Zoetry Punta Cana will definitely be a return visit. This vacation brought our family together, and we will never forget all of the days on the beach in the ocean, in the pools (especially the swim-up bar), the many activities and fun adventures that were offered every day. We did not participate in the many excursions, as they were expensive, and honestly, we didn't need to leave the property with everything they offer. 5-star!!!

I traveled to Zoetry with 2 adults, 3 kids and 2 elderly adults. We stayed in their new 3 bedroom villa and it was wonderful. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. Our concierge, Amada was available via whatsapp everyday to answer questions, make reservations or set anything up in our room. Frank, Jubie, Manuel, Sory and Oliver were stand out employees. Although there is not buffet option, the cooks are able to accommodate every food option you desire. It is a formal sit-down meals kinda place but this is all about the luxury and relaxed experience. Snacks are also available at the pool and room service is 24 hours. The only downside I found was that the pool is not accessible. So, if you're traveling with anyone who needs steps to enter the pool you will have a hard time. The spa is great and the jacuzzi and spa facilities are available to all guests. Fully stocked bar and snacks in the room every day and mosquito spray and toiletries are well stocked. I would definitely travel here again.

The staff are so friendly and helpful, the rooms are perfectly sized, pools are lit up in a pretty blue color at night, and the daily activities they provided were perfect!There was a live musician playing around the main pool and other days they had performances at night in the main lobby. My favorite was probably the Circus night. That was SO COOL OMG! Our main concierge was Wiris Guzman - if you can request a specific person, PICK HIM!!! He's seriously the best!! Anything we needed, even if it wasn't at the resort, he went and got it for us. Such a sweet guy! Also the bartender Jimmy is THE MAN! He took the time out of his day to help me and my husband learn and speak the language. He also makes a tasty Rum cocktail (yummm), coming from a former bartender -- he knows his stuff for sure!!! Juan Carlos was another one of our servers/concierge who was so awesome, and can't forget Robinson who provided the Wine Tasting for us one night! He was really nice to meet too! Knew his stuff, very interesting! Housekeeping was fantastic as well! They kept our mini fridge STACKED! Love them all!

We had the best time at the Hideaway Royalton Punta Cana! The staff was top notch. We had a swim out room that was amazing! Our butler Jhoenmy was FANTASTIC!!! He went above and beyond to accommodate our party of 8! Juan at the Hideaway Pool Bar was the best bartender on the resort! We would definitely go back! Thanks for the unforgettable memories 🌞😎🌊⛱️❤️🍹

We had a great time staying at the Hideaway at Royalton. The service was very good. The atmosphere in the Hideaway section was wonderful. The swim up room was great. The Resort had many nice restaurants, bars, shops, and other activities to enjoy. A very good vacation get away. The massage and hydrotherapy at the spa was very good.

Loved the Diamond Club, staff and service great. Wish I had gotten the swim up rooms, they seemed fun. Wouldn't recommend the honeymoon suite, Jacuzzi had to be filled by butler. Only used it once, also the balcony of the honeymoon suite overlooked the back of a restaurant and dumpster area. Restaurants were decent, although portions were very small in some cases. W

My wife and I stayed there for five days in November and absolutely loved it. We have been to many all inclusive resorts, but this was definitely was a step above. We had a swim up room with the butler, and everything was top notch. Our Butler Manuel was very responsive to any of our needs. Each night we had dinner at a different restaurant, and the food was excellent every time. My wife and I had two negatives. Mine was the seaweed on the beach. I have been to other resorts where they use a machine to clean the beach every night. In addition, they advertise them selves as an adult only resort, but that really wasn’t true. They did have a section that was adults only but all the restaurants allowed children there and sometimes they acted accordingly . One pool was adults only but the other two pools had children. Overall, it was an excellent resort, and would definitely recommend to other people

My husband and I had a great vacation at the Hideaway celebrating our anniversary/delayed honeymoon. We stayed in a room with a swim-out pool area which provided more privacy than expected. We thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment/amenities at the resort, to include the spa (particularly the hydrotherapy which was included with our massages), gym, and theatre (shows and karaoke were fun/entertaining). We were excited about the casino but were ultimately disappointed with the low energy and the dealers didn’t always seem happy to be there. Our primary critique is that most of the food and restaurant service were below average, however we made up for this with delicious and plentiful drinks. A butler, Manuel, was included with our stay and provided a thorough overview of the resort/accommodations. He also helped us with dinner reservations, towels, booze, etc. The hotel has a desk/staff onsite to help with planning excursions which we took advantage of to book a visit to Evolution Adventure Park, which was our favorite part of the trip (dune buggies, cave, cenote, monkeys). For our first all inclusive experience, we were overall very happy with our choice.

The entire property was beautiful and always well maintained! Staff was amazing- especially Melvin for always having the best attitude at the swim up bar. Definitely recommend!!

Great hotel ! Beautiful place, delicious food! Had the room with the private pool room across quiet swimming pool, awesome place. Thank you Secrets 😊

Great people and great service. I'm glad we did the preferred club because there was no limit to what we could do. We loved the private pool we had. Orlando was a great host and kept us in the loop about everything going on throughout the day. I wish they had sports channels on the tv in the room.

The room was spacious and my concierge Almonte was very attentive! I would recommend this resort in a heartbeat. The room with the private pool is worth it.

This Place is Wonderful. Honestly the service was impeccable from check in to check out ! Family friendly resort with endless things to do. We did a clear boat tour and did snorkeling as well as saw dolphins! The beach is wonderful as well. The water park for kids is a plus. All dine in places had amazing dishes and cannot complain about anything. The grounds are kept very clean and you will never see anything dirty!! Family concierge upgrade is a MUST! The swim up suite was delightful and rooms are amazing! I could go on and on about this place. I will be returning

June 7th to June 14th 2025- 7 nights-Family of four with two daughters, graduate school age, so our first priority in picking a resort was spacious accommodations. Paradisus Grand Cana delivered on that priority. We booked a two-bedroom, two bath, family concierge, Master swim-up suite. Nearly 3,000 square feet. Gorgeous resort. In brand-new like condition. Pristine. The landscape is exquisitely manicured. Massive center pool, inner and outer rings swim-up pools, and a waterpark at close proximity. The result is that the place never felt overcrowded. The resort in not on the beach, but it was never a show-stopper for us. A fleet of golf carts transport guests to and from the beach. One needs to carry only themselves, and perhaps some sunscreen. Beach chairs, towels, restaurant, etc...await your arrival at the beach. I walked to the beach. About 13 to 15 minutes. You see, I've got to get my daily steps in. My iWatch insists upon it. There are several restaurants here. Our concierge, Thaina Decire, booked our diners and concierge inclusive excursions. We tried Karnica, Tori, Machu, and Rubi Rocks with mixed family reviews. We achieved a consensus with Origen and ended up sticking with it for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Origen is a spectacular buffet restaurant. There is something delicious to eat at Origen even for those with the most discerning palates. Superior service here. The family concierge is worth the dollar stretch. Thaina is an exceptional concierge.

Paradisus Grand Cana - resort was amazing, new and luxurious. The ground and the property was always kept clean. We stayed for a week and had a blast. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Our swim up room was great - ample space, clean and comfortable. Patio and jacuzzi were excellent. Special shout out to - Yuberkis at buffet during dinner time. She always had a smile on and went above and beyond every time. We couldn’t get a reservation on the night we arrived for my birthday but she went above and beyond to make my night memorable. I can’t thank her enough. Also, two servers at the main pool. I think their names were Francisco and Leonardo. They were amazing, always on top of our orders, and always with big smiles 😊 on their face. Even though it was scorching hot some of the days. Staff there definitely made our stay much better. Only recommendation I can suggest - opening the restaurants earlier including the buffet. With small children and elderly - earlier dinner would have been better for us. Also, it was extremely hard to get reservations for the restaurants so we just stuck with the buffet. Only went to Tori 1 night for dinner. Only available times were 8:30 or 9:30 pm. That’s too late for us. Other than that no other issues. We had a blast. We will definitely be back!

Overall it was a nice place to stay. Child friendly. Most of the staff was great. Food could be better but could have been worse so basic. Walls and doors are not well insulated so you unfortunately could hear all the people in the halls. Usually quiet after 10pm but like anywhere ypu have a few rude people. The beach is a 3min golf cart away or a 10/15 min walk. Beach was nice and clean. Water park was good for our needs except the baby section sprinklers didn't work so that was disappointing but baby still had a blast. The crib we had requested was there upon arrival. This was a great experience for our family of 4 which included a 1yr old. We also had a swim out room which was fantastic and another reason we chose this resort. We would go to another Melia resort.

Our honeymoon at Cayo Levantado felt like a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the beauty and care we experienced. The exceptional service, stunning views, and attention to every detail made this an unforgettable trip. We want to give a special thank you to the amazing team: • Sol at the beach, who was always sweet and recommended the best drinks. • Carlos at the beach, who made sure we had incredible drink suggestions. • Augusto at the restaurants, who provided flawless and attentive service. • Angelito, who kindly transported us in the carts with such warmth. • Jefris, the manager, who ensured every aspect of our stay was perfect. • Emmanuela, our ambassador, who went above and beyond to care for us. The food options were incredible, offering a variety of flavors to enjoy. The pools and the beach were breathtaking, and the room was always impeccably cleaned, adding a sense of luxury to our stay. What made this experience truly special was how the staff treated us—with kindness, dedication, and genuine care. It was so emotional that I cried when we had to leave. Cayo Levantado wasn’t just a honeymoon; it was a dream and a memory we’ll treasure forever. Thank you to the entire team for making this a magical experience. We can’t wait to return!

This is the island jewel in the crown of the Bahia Principe empire of resorts. Newly refurbished, it is the wonderful opposite of the Punta Cana drinkfests in its solitude, quiet, dignity, beauty, and healthy dining. The staff are superbly trained: unfailingly courteous, attentive, and capable. The chefs know their stuff. The grounds and rooms are kept clean and gorgeous. The gym is small but wonderfully equipped. The pools are splendid and the seating more than ample—the same goes for the beach. In fact, one might want a little less oomph from the beachside DJ and some of the nighttime restaurant musicians, as the vibe of the resort is of calm joy, not amped-up happy-happy. In general, though, quiet and considerate hospitality is constant every moment of every day. Specially chosen little gifts left in the room, a lunchbox for early departers (we flew in and out of Punta Cana, so we needed provisions for the 5-hour car ride), and a dozen other kindnesses seasoned an already exquisite experience. If you want what the website promises, Cayo Levantado Resort delivers—and how. We'll be back. For sure.

We stayed in early March for 6 days and loved every day. Frankly, everything was great. We didn't get to try the spa or excursions because we had a 15mo old baby with us, which takes a lot of time, but just the pools and the beach were wonderful. The food was amazing. Each restaurant had fantastic food. Even the breakfast buffet was phenomenal. For drawbacks, getting to the property is a major drag. It's a 3hr ride by car from Santo Domingo. Not much they can do about that, I guess. What they can improve on are two things: quality of coffee (didn't enjoy that at all) and the staff needs to get a bit better on their English. Some are better than others, but most of the time, communication was challenging. You can also communicate with your "ambassador" via WhatsApp and even that was not all smooth sailing, so yeah, staff's English needs to improve. But don't let this hold you back, even with what it is now, it's been a wonderful stay.

We absolutely loved everything about the place. It’s well designed and managed, quiet, beautiful, with excellent food and very attentive and caring personnel. We booked two rooms which were very spacious and comfortable. The resort facilities provide opportunities for various activities, are well equipped and run. The gym is great. There are several large pools and they were never crowded. The beach is very beautiful. Many thanks to the staff of the hotel who made this stay so enjoyable and pleasant. Overall - a great experience.

Pool and water park were awesome as we were traveling on family vacation with our daughters (9 & 4). The preferred swim up and butler service were worth the charge. Food was good not great, outside of the Asian restaurant which was awesome.

Far exceeded our expectations! Beautiful resort with super friendly staff. Our butler Nathanael M was incredible. He was always available and filled all our requests quickly and with a smile. The food was good. My kids enjoyed the swim up bars for non-alcoholic drinks.

The staff in every department of this resort were amazing. They make the place 5 star. It is an impeccably beautiful and clean place. The pools and swim up bars are the best i have seen. The girls in the spa Laedy and all of the women working in the spa i would give them ten stars if i could! Service is amazing all around.

Fray the check in receptionist was on point, my wife and myself arrived early at the Resort and the room that we paid for was a deluxe room and it was not ready I mentioned to Fray that it was my wife birthday he upgraded us to preferred Status and gave us a swim up room at no additional cost and that category room comes with a butler that provides service for every aspect of your needs at the resort. Our butler was Will he did a great job for us he set up a special dinner for my wife birthday at one of the specialty restaurants and they provided a delicious birthday cake and sing happy birthday to my wife.Will helped us with every aspect of our stay at the resort every time I called on him he responded and what ever the request was he made it happen . We ate at the buffet most of the time the food was good however more Variety of seafood would be nice thanks for a great vacation

We really enjoyed Dreams Flora Punta Cana. The property is clean and well maintained. The beach is lovely. I would give 5 stars, but the food was meh. The staff is great and are constantly trying to do things for you. We had an ocean view room in preferred. The butler was very attentive. He made dinner reservations and since it was both my birthday and our anniversary planned little surprises for us staying in contact through WhatsApp. There are lots of pools throughout the property with one main one near the beach that has lots of music and activities. The others were quiet. The nightly entertainment was also meh. Some days you had to be out there early to get a lounge on the beach, and other days not. I’m an early person, always got a lounge. Lounges opened up by mid day anyway. Near the pools there were plenty of lounges always available. There were 2 weddings while we were there and the nice grill restaurant is closed when there is a wedding. We were there Memorial Day week.

We loved everything about our week at RIU Palace Macao. We did the Elite Club and would definitely recommend it. The swim-up suite was everything! The only complaint was that the Elite Club room service food menu was NOT good compared to literally everything else; all the other food on the property was mostly excellent. The restaurants were great. Kabuki was our least favorite out of all of them, but it was still delicious! It’s a lot of small bites so go ahead and order everything haha. We look forward to checking out all the rest of the RIU properties in other countries!

I recently stayed at Riu Macao Adults Only and really enjoyed the experience. It’s a great small resort with a relaxing atmosphere. The rooms were nice and comfortable, though a little damp at times. There are three pools—while the swim-up pool was a bit murky (likely from suntan lotion and oils), more frequent cleaning would improve it. The buffet food was excellent, and the service really stood out thanks to a few wonderful staff members: Felix in the pool area was very attentive, Polanco went above and beyond during meals and even arranged a special birthday dinner for my friend, and Jean Carlos was incredibly sweet. My only suggestion would be to have at least one bar with top-shelf liquor, but overall, it was a great place to stay and I would recommend it.

I purchased an Elite room thru Expedia but was checked into an inferior room which costs much less with no explanation from the staff. Only when I was taken to the assigned room did I discover that fact. I went to the front desk and asked to speak to the manager, Ceseare who agreed to provide the correct room the following day which he did. He also agreed to process a refund to Expedia for the night stayed. That has not happened yet after two weeks. I emailed the hotel but have not received a response yet. The service at the resort was very good and my wife and I really enjoyed the Elite dining experiences at three of the restaurants. The swim pool was beautiful and my wife loved it. Since they had other pools I didn’t think it was necessary to have the small pool at an extra $150/night. But it made her happy. Lots of drinks and food and top shelf liquor in our room. Love the hotel. I just want the refund promised.

Absolutely loved this place !! We had a great room on the corner of the hotel, overlooking the gardens, pools and with a sea view, couldn’t ask for better views really. It was our wedding Anniversary while we were there and we were left a nice canvas picture and a lovely message from the hotel management ( nice touch)…Food was great…. Buffet was good and other restaurants were excellent…. Our favourites being Crystals and the steak house. Staff were great, especially at the pool bar. Room cleaned daily. Lovely beach and ocean… lots of drinks to be had. Even wandered to the other Riu hotels and had a few drinks. Plenty of activities to do in the day time if you want to…. However…. We found the evening entertainment not too good. I had a little accident on the day we were leaving, where I stupidly put our case on the glass topped coffee table in our room…. We told them at reception when we were checking out and they were fine…. We did pay for the damage $70. We would recommend this hotel to anyone… so much so that we have already booked to go back next year…. But this time for 14days instead of 10.

Riu Macao was a good chill experience, liked that we had access to the parties when we wanted to turn up. The buffet had good food, the theme restaurants I tried were fine, but I wish their menus were either more extensive or changed daily. The poolside entertainment was great, but I was surprised that the pool water was hot.

I have to be honest our stay was good, Service was excellent, food was better than great. Miguel José is an excellent employee., treated us well and was very sweet. We were given a room which was also great. BUT treatment at checkin was very impersonal. We were told that we could use all facilites except Enclave. But was not told that the Pool which was accessible from the balcony of our room was prohibited for us. And on our second day at the hotel we were removed from the Pool in very, very unpleasant way by a person named Teodoro. We are humanas and make mistakes… (I guess he has not been told that) We entered the Pool through our room and told him so. We used the Pool on the first day. We never saw the signs. We usually book our stays in preferred clubs, but since this was a short stay we did not even notice you had this option available. I feel it was because my husband is Dominican and I Puerto Rican we were treated like bandits or people without money. We are good people and are very well off. We vacation in your country 3 to 4 times a year and always stay at good hotels. Had it not been for this incident our stay would have been 5 out of 5. My husband wants to return but I have serious doubts. We are planning family trip for my 75th birthday next year. My daughter’s loved the Pictures we sent about the food and facilites. I will let them know when we return Home.

Very impressed by this resort. The beach was better than expected, the pictures online do no justice. The grounds are super clean. The food was great we loved the selection. And the Cinolas beach restaurant was so romantic great food. The pools are stunning. This is a great resort to relax. Only downside would be lack of pool side entertainment, no music playing and not much activities for young adults but I would absolutely come back!

Best vacation ever! The beach and pool were so beautiful, everyone was so nice, the food was really good and so many options, the entertainment staff were great. There was always something to do when you wanted it, but it was also so nice just relaxing at the beach and pool. We’ll definitely be back!

Very nice structure, excellent service at reception and pool areas, not nearly ass attentive at restaurants. Food overall sub-par. People leaving towels on beach and pool chairs to reserve them is totally NOT cool and should be forbidden.

My husband and I went on vacation together. It was an unforgettable holiday. The room was very beautiful and clean. The staff was very friendly and pleasant. Whenever we had questions, everyone did their best to help. The food, both in the restaurants and buffets, was excellent—always fresh and delicious. The pools were very clean, and the sea was simply amazing: no waves, crystal-clear water. The beaches weren’t very large, but they were very comfortable and clean. I highly recommend this resort!

Amazing place to vacation! Adults only all inclusive, very diverse group of people vacation there. we had a swim up and loved it, got service from the bar without having to be in the big pool, it was great! Carlos was out “butler” he was amazing and very helpful! will definitely be going again !

Loved the low key atmosphere. Like the quiet of a swimout witj waiter service so no need to leave the water.

Loved this resort and everyone there! Would definitely go back. The food was great, the entertainment was awesome, and we absolutely loved our room with a private swim-up pool area and hammock. The only thing that wasn’t amazing is the beach was filled with seaweed, but this didn’t bother us especially since they can shuttle you daily to a beautiful beach 10mins away. If all you want to do is lay at the beach, you might not be happy, but we were super content just laying by the pool.

Pros: *Small resort with chill vibe *Delicious food & drinks *Great staff (Isaias our butler and Charly the activity guy were fabulous) *Fun swim-up bar with pool activities *Clean rooms with comfortable beds and great showers Cons: *Little/no ocean beach area *Only 3 dining choices If you're looking for a chill, lounging vibe - a great place to soak up the sun, enjoy a cocktail in the pool, relax and read a book and enjoy some fun group activities, this is a great place!

I wanted a resort where I could rest & relax….mission accomplished! The property was peaceful & beautiful. My room was perfect with the hammock and swim out pool, and the staff was excellent, specifically my Butler, Aronni, and Elian, Arlette and my massage therapist. The hot stone massage was heavenly. There was one one issue that was immediately addressed & resolved. If you are looking for a low-key stay in a beautiful environment with top notch service…this is your place! I will definitely return and refer to clients in the future.

Beautiful Beach with calm clean sandy beach. Good food and relaxing atmosphere-especially in Adults inly section. Herman restaurant is outstanding and best in resort. All beach bars are great. Swim-up room was perfect for us and we enjoyed every moment.

We spent extra money for a swim up suite, and called a week ahead to confirm our reservation. At check in, we were told that the room was not available. We were put into a room that was nice, but in a cheaper price category. To this date we have not received a refund from the resort or from Expedia. While the resort was fabulous, and many of their staff very helpful and kind, this experience will mean that we don't return or use Expedia in the future.

I'm a little torn on my review of Casa Marina Select. Loved: The swim up room Francis, the very helpful gentleman who worked the bell desk. He went out of his way to help with whatever anyone needed. All the bartenders and the service staff in the buffet restaurant The cleanliness, it was absolutely spotless every day Was OK The food at the buffet...it wasn't the most amazing meal you are going to have but there were lots of choices and it was replenished frequently. Needs some work: The water situation. I only had one warm shower my entire stay, otherwise the water was cold or at best tepid. The day I left there was no water at all, so no shower or flushing toilets. There are not enough pool and beach chairs. People were out there at 5am claiming them for the day. The cigarette smoke. A large group set up directly across from my room and proceeded to chain smoke from 7:30am until they went to dinner at 6:30. Another group smoked at the tables at the outside bar all afternoon. Someone in the room above me smoked all afternoon and evening on their balcony. The people on both sides of me were complaining as well. I would stay again, but only in the swim up rooms. And they really need to put in some designated smoking areas, the current smoke wherever you are policy really impacts the stay for everyone.

We recently returned from staying on the select side & overall, we had a great trip. Pros: the select side was secluded enough that we could relax without all the noise and a ton of extra people. Food was decent through our entire stay - our meal at Herman’s was the best of the week, though the buffet always sufficed with many options. Staff were 99% friendly and any concerns we had were dealt with quickly; we had clogged toilet, they came straight away. Our AC died, they came within minutes of us telling them. Our cleaners were lovely and we tipped them well for the hard work they do. Our room was clean, had no bugs or visible signs of mold. Cons: we booked a king room and got 2 doubles. We didn’t say anything about it & that’s on us. I would say something next time. There seems to never be enough chairs by the pools or on the beach & that can be frustrating when people leave their belongings on the chairs all day/night and are rarely there. We wished there was more communication/details about what’s going on: a la carts, theatre shows, disco, local vendors. It would be helpful to add another page with basic details and times. We couldn’t find anything so never experienced any shows. We would go again. We’d like to try a swim up room - you never have to worry about chairs then!

First off , let me say the 4 stars is for the "Select" area of this hotel, which is where I stayed. The rest of the property is (maybe) a 3. This is obviously an old property that has seen some renovation, but could use more. The ocean behind the hotel (there's a small private beach) is very rough. Do NOT attempt to go in past waist-deep unless you are a good swimmer. Pool area was nice, but could use more activities ( a little dead). Food quality at the buffet was "meh". The a la carte restaurant called Hermann's (available only to guests in the Select area) was better. The quality of the liquor at the pool bar in the Select area is also considerably better than the rest of the hotel, so if you want good liquor, book the Select area! That alone makes it worth the extra money. One last note on my experience in the Select area: the level of customer service was far, far above what I experienced in other areas of the hotel. Everyone I interacted there deserves five stars, from the guys at the pool bar, to the maitre d and waiters at Hermann's restaurant, and even the maid. But one person really stood out for me: Francis at the Select Reception desk (yes, we even had our own reception area!) . One note of warning: the staff is constantly cleaning the hallways (which is good), but the floor tiles are EXTREMELY slippery when wet, so watch your step, especially after a few drinks! One last word: remember that a little tipping does wonders for customer service...

I love the story behind the architecture. The design is beautiful and wholesome. The loved the attention to detail. It had a full kitchen, a small pool to stay refreshed and it was very quiet at night which was important to us.

Perfect location and very beautiful industrial vintage and cosy lofts. Pool is very much appreciated after a hot day.

10 minute walk from the beach & the bodega, great pool and very nice personnel who had great recommendations!

Fabulous location Smooth arrival and departure procedure Loved the pool area

It was the best stay ever in Santo Domingo! (I moved to Fixie Lofts during my stay in Santo Domingo cause I didn’t like my first accommodation) The location couldn’t be better—in the center of the Colonial Zone. It was really clean, neat, cozy, and spacious. Check-in and check-out processes were really easy, and instructions were very clear. They have everything to cook in the kitchen. The bed was spacious and super comfortable. I would love to stay in Fixie Lofts again when I return to Santo Domingo!

We had an amazing stay at the Grand Palladium. The resort was clean and easy to navigate. We got the swim up room and it was a great experience!

The swim out room was amazing as well as the beach. Food at the buffets was less than desirable.

We had an amazing 5 night stay in a Palace Swim-Up Room. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. We loved the swim up pool. It’s very quiet. Our concierge Argenis was the best. He took care of us. Got our dinner reservations taken care of and always made sure our mini bar was full in our room with whatever we needed and wanted. Everyone at the resort was so accommodating and friendly. The pools all have swim up bars and they are fun. Our favorite pool was the Punta Cana Resort pool and Luis is the best bartender at the swim up bar. Don’t forget to tip all your bartenders, servers and concierge. They definitely take good care of you. The Palace pool was very hot and had a lot of kids in it. The adult only pool is also very nice. All of the restaurants were good but our favorite buffet was Poseidon. Rosa was our server at several restaurants and she is truly a sweet lady. The Sports bar is also a fun place and it is open 24 hours. We can’t wait to go back again.

Went with my husband and 2 year old son. The resort is beautiful - 3 in one. Would only recommend the palace as the other connecting resorts were older and not as nice. The junior swim out suite was amazing. The food was better than expected and had good variety and options at the buffet and a la carte. Shows were good for families. The pools were great and the kids waterpark. Service was very good and staff was friendly. There were a few things we did not like such as the train shuttle took very long to come, room service did not have half the menu, our pool filter didn’t work well. But overall had a great time and would recommend.

This resort is quiet and pleasant, first, at the time of our stay there were a bunch of chainsmokers that made it almost impossible for us to stay at the pool area, it only has one pool, so it is smoke party or go to the neighbor resort, the punta cana, that has two pools. Which we did and the ambiance there was better, the quiet pool next to the snacks shack. Another low was unavailability of a la carte restaurant spot, only got one , and was not so impressive, the steaks place, the experiencewas saved by the excellent service by Ingrid. Overall, nice stay, service 5 stars, from front desk, bars, buffet servers, the service here really makes you want to go back.

I like this place I had the hotel all to myself the hotel has 9 rooms. It's a bit out of the way. But I'll sty here again. I think my air conditioning wasn't working outside of that it's a great price and they have a armed guard at night. The pool should be label like 3 feet . The owner said one side was 9 feet and the other 3 feet he showed me. But it should be written on the pool sides. I made a video of place.

Overall we liked the hotel... The pool could have been warmer, the dinner service was good, but can only handle up to 10 people but may get fluttered. Breakfast was okay but dinner was enjoyable. They were honest with their billing after we ordered many drinks throughout the week. Owner isn't very approachable to questions and likes to give very vauge answers. we appreciate they had pool toys and life vests available if needed.

This is my second stay at this hotel and I will continue to book this hotel when traveling to Sosua and it's near by location. The hotel is super clean, new and we'll kept. The staff is wonderful and willing to assist in all your needs. The hotel is quiet so if you are definitely looking for a relaxing place to stay this most definitely is the place to stay. The pool is wonderful ans well kept clean and can be used anytime. There is a security at the door over night so no need to worry about your car park outside. The location is pretty safe. There is also a small safe deposit In the room. I will definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a economic and we'll kept hotel.

My wife and I both stayed at Coral Blanco albeit at separate visits. We both found the experience outstanding. Alina and Vadim are wonderful hosts. Yuri and the other staff members are friendly and efficient. Ate breakfast and dinner there every day. The food was excellent and the price was right. The beer was cold and the nightly visits with Alina and Vadim were informative and enjoyable. I found the entire facility, rooms, pool and dining area clean, organized and well managed. Mattresses could be a little softer but I would recommend Coral Blanco to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable place to stay. Alina and Vadim, thank you for a wonderful stay. See you again.

We stayed for two nights and found it comfortable and convenient. The friendly owners are on-site and service and cleanliness are exceptional. Pool was big enough for real swimming, but no diving. There is a tiny but spectacular public beach right nearby, 300 meters walking, that is a hidden bonus. The hotel restaurant has a varied and tasty menu. Value for price is excellent.

My wife and I stayed there for 6 days and had a wonderful time. Hotel is beautiful, gorgeous infinity pool looking out to the ocean that is steps away. Restaurant is right next to pool overlooking private beach. Quite a large bay and can swim out to reef and snorkel and see lots of colorful fish. Staff are exceptionally professional, courteous and nice. Place is very clean. Also has a gym with beautiful views of the Atlantic ocean. From the hotel you can drive to other beaches, or the jungle, or visit Santiago or the north coast towns and beaches (kite surfing at Cabarete is a treat to see). Temperature was a very constant 25°C min 31-32*C every day (77-92) with rain some nights. Overall, a gorgeous gem of a location and experience!

From the moment we arrived until the end of our stay, the staff treated us exceptionally well. The hotel restaurant offers a fantastic dining experience with beautifully presented and delicious food—our waiter, Juan, was outstanding! The beach and pool staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Our room was spacious with a stunning view of the pool and beach. The sandy beach was a highlight, with fish swimming playfully around our feet, and both the pool and beach areas were delightfully uncrowded. There’s even a helicopter landing zone, presumably for flights to STI airport. For variety, there are several restaurants within 2-3 blocks if you feel like exploring beyond the hotel’s offerings. The hotel also features valet service, a spa, cozy fireplaces to enjoy at night, hot tubs, and a responsive WhatsApp service for immediate assistance or updates. The attention to detail and quality of service made our stay unforgettable!

I would like to start by saying that this property is very nice, well maintained thru out the day and many staff members greeted us through out our stay, reminding us that they were at our disposal for anything we needed. It’s on par with what we expected from Marriott Luxury Collection brand. The room we booked was a 1 bedroom suite ocean view and it didn’t disappoint. It’s a little pricey but it was a huge apartment. Too bad we were only there for 3 night. A shout out to Yoemi, Nelfi, Angel and Alonso. These guys work by the restaurant/main pool area and they made sure we had everything we needed, be it towels, pool beds, food, nice coconut water and drinks by the pool. I would return to stay at Ocean Club Sosua because it was a wonderful stay for us.

Perfect place for a PEACEFUL family vacation!! My kids had so much fun just running around the beach and jumping in and out of the three pools and two picuzzis! The kids also had a blast using the chaiselounges as slides inside the saltwater pool and playing beach volleyball! The food was super yummy!!! Try the pastries during breakfast and the mangú!!! AGUAJÍ IS A MUST! the chef is the famous Chef Tita…. Soooo soooo goood, the chicharron, the shrimp ceviche, the papardelle, the chicharron rissoto, and the asopao de langosta, the bread pudding! Basically everything was perfect! The Picuzzi fire pits are unreal…. The views are JUST WOW!! You can see all the mountains of Puerto Plata and the beautiful Sosúa Bay! And last but not least… THE SPA…. Wooww woooww wooowww… we got a couples massage and we enjoyed every second of it… i dare say it’s in my TOP 3 Spas in the DR (and i’ve been around Spas :p ) I also recommend for couples… my husband and I went two years ago and enjoyed it sooo much!

The was a girl’s trip with my childhood friend. Our time at The Ocean Club exceeded our expectations. The endless pool, the crash of the ocean waves, the serenity and luxury feel of this hotel were spectacular. The rooms are expansive, bright, well-appointed, extremely comfortable and well air conditioned. The hotel concierge and staff were communicative, inviting and informative. The two onsite restaurants were outstanding in aesthetic and food quality. Particularly, the thought and attention that went into the 4 course tasting menu at Agaji - showcasing dishes unique to the Dominican Republic. For other adventures, the hotel supplies a brochure equipped with a plethora of excursions the concierge can organize for you. Overall, you would be hard-pressed to find a stay quite as unique in that it checks off all the boxes, so-to-speak - if you’re looking for quality, serenity, and an unpretentious sophistication.

We really enjoyed this resort. Staff was friendly and rooms were really nice. Tons of pools with swim up bars and bunch of restaurants onsite. The sports club stays open late with music which was a bonus !

When we booked this was a Margaritaville property. However it changed to a Hyatt dreams a few months later. Like many, we were worried there would be construction or other inconveniences. The hotel was beautiful and clean aside from some fit and finish issues like leaky tubs and showers, peeling paint. Our room was upgraded for $300 one time fee to a suite with a 2nd floor swim out pool, this was worth it and was haggled down from the $400/night ask when we checked in. This is somewhere between a family resort and a party resort. They play loud music at the pool every day which can get annoying. The staff was great and very helpful. They bring your drinks right to you and will be very attentive if you float them a decent tip after your first drink. Drink quality and strength depends on the bartender, same as anywhere I suppose. Beach is terrible and rocky, but you can just walk down to the other Hyatt properties that share the stretch of coastline and it was beautiful. Restaurants were good, best food by far was Italian place and buffet. There was decent bands that played in the main outdoor bar starting at 8pm and the seating arrangement was very comfortable. Couches and cocktail tables everywhere. Theatre entertainment was corny but enjoyable. By no means a 5 star experience, but an excellent budget option and my partner and I would gladly return given we booked 5 days and 4 nights for around $2600 total (flights included).

That was our best experience in a Punta Cana hotel by far. We went to celebrate birthday and anniversary and we had a great time. Hotel, staff, pools, bars, dining options, everything was great. The check in process was smooth with Preferred front desk agent Luis. We stayed at the Villas and Alvaro was our assigned butler, he did a great job. Our housekeeper (Betania) did also a great job. In the Villas pool bar, our bartender Emanuel was amazing, as well as the pool butlers in the Preferred pool (Yoenfry, Johan, Alexander and Christopher). In the buffet during breakfast and lunch, our servers (Nataly, Elisa and Geidy) did also great. Finally, our spa experience was one of the best we ever had. Leoncia and Olga were amazing. Overall it was a great experience and we'll be going back next year.

We were very pleased with our stay at this resort, now called Dreams Cap Cana. The staff were so friendly which made our visits to the pools, beach, restaurants and bars very comfortable. Specific staff members Alvero, Felix, Naftaly and Elisa stand out as great examples of the welcoming, friendly and helpful personnel that we encountered. The pools, beach and rooms were clean. With the low number of guests, we often felt like we had the pools and beach to ourselves. We would definitely visit again. Highly recommend!

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Dreams Cap Cana Resort, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience.The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect, and their hospitality truly made all the difference. A special mention must go to Victor and Yoenfry, two exceptional staff members who made our time at the Preferred Pool unforgettable. Their attentiveness, dedication, and personal touch were remarkable, as they consistently went out of their way to ensure we felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay. Their service was truly top-notch, and they undoubtedly played a key role in making our vacation so enjoyable. Dreams Cap Cana is lucky to have such outstanding team members, and I hope they are recognized for their incredible efforts. They certainly deserve more than just five stars! While the beach at the resort is currently a bit rocky, the management is actively working to improve it by breaking up the rocks and making the area more usable. I’m confident the beach will be just as beautiful as the rest of the property, making for an even more perfect vacation destination. Overall, I would highly recommend Dreams Cap Cana Resort to anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious getaway with top-tier service. Whether you’re enjoying the pool, dining at the restaurants, or relaxing in your room, the staff and the property itself ensure a wonderful experience.

Gorgeous pools, all with swim up bars. Beautiful, green property. So many places to relax. Great having access to all three resorts. Loved the rooftop jacuzzi. Gym was nice. Fun little casino. Loved the adults only pool at night. Plenty of chairs on the beach. Top con would be the food. Buffets were average but we didn’t go hungry. We were only able to get dinner reservations at the restaurants 2/5 nights. Wish there were healthier options and more snack/quick options on the beach & by the pool.

I really enjoyed my stay with Grand palladium Bavaro Suites. Maintenance of property is excellent. They made sure enough staffing in place every 50 meters radius. Also the villa staff at 18 ( Bavaro ) fixed few maintenance issue for us. Beach was 100 meters walk from our place and it was beautiful view. Pools with bar was so excellent that you could have drink on the pool ( amazing experience). Staff were friendly and most of managers knew English. Lobby restaurant for buffet was good. Would like to call out Juan Jalpay , Expedia concierge who have made reservations for the restaurant, modified them when requested and made necessary arrangements for buggy transport from villa to lobby.

Staff is absolutely amazing and accommodating! Great dining options and great variety of pools and beach spots to lay back and relax unlike many other resorts that have 1-2 pools and you feel like everyone is overly crowded in one spot. This is a beautiful resort and I will definitely be back!

Loved the service , it’s been a long time since we visited a resort with such great service , thanks to Daniel , Richard and our concierge Juan for their great customer service. And the guys at the adults pool they made our stay even better!

Property is beautiful. Beach and pool areas were great. Luis at the front Bavarian lobby and transportation were fantastic. 5 stars for Luis.

Foods are not exceptional other than the stackhouse restaurent. I expected to delicious foods for being a 5 star resort. Drinks are also okay, nothing crazy. Stuffs are good and friendly. Coral level experience with the pool access and ocean front room is amazing. Lots of activities for kids too. Beach is also super clean.

A beautiful resort with decent dining options, (mostly) great service, fun nightly shows/entertainment, and comfortable, villa-style rooms. We will go back. Only annoyances to note were regularly being approached by employees at beach and pool trying to sell you excursions or other upgrades, awfully expensive pricing of sundries in the gift shops, and people being allowed to "reserve" cabanas and umbrellas at the beach and pools by draping a towel over the chairs. Cabanas would sit for hours unused until the person came down for an hour or two later in the day. We never found a free cabana or umbrella the entire week. Service was exceptional overall, with only one bad experience at the Brave Steakhouse restaurant. We were ignored for a long time before being greeted, waited longer than usual between courses, and had to fetch one of our drinks at the service counter because it was never delivered. We ended up leaving before dessert arrived because we got tired of waiting.

We had a great experience. The coral level feels like a boutique hotel within a much larger hotel. Definitely appreciated the coral only dining options and pools / beach spaces - allowed for an air conditioned breakfast / lunch buffet which was nice when it was so hot out. There was also more space between the pool / beach chairs compared to the other areas of the hotel, and plenty of chairs available (in mid-May). It was worth the additional charge for coral level (for us at least). The food was consistently good (perhaps just a little too salty), and some meals were particularly exceptional. The hospitality was great, everyone had a smile on their face and was so friendly. We would happily come back to the coral level Iberostar properties in the future!

This is the second time in Iberostar. First one was 10 years ago and we loved our staying and now we decided to upgrade to the Coral Level section ehhh WOOWW! I would recommend it to everyone, yes it is more expensive but worth it! Everything was cleaned, we had some tiny problems with the tv and the safety box missing batteries and they came in no time to fix it and to assure everything was ok. Food super good, good quality and good variety always fresh and well made. Pools never crowded , beach was plenty of sargassum sadly but we walk for 45 min on the beach and we found a nice spot to take a swim. Our cleaning lady was the best! Her name is Yajaira de Jesus and she was super kind and always attentive about details when organizing the room, you’ll be lucky to have her. So if you’re hesitating about this hotel, dont hesitate more and go!!

There are 4 Iberostar hotels (Grand, Selection, Coral Level, Dominicana) sitting next to each other. I reserved Coral-Level for 2 family rooms availability reason (my couple and 2 grown daughters had 2 separate bedroom villa with a connecting door) and this was a perfect decision. Coral Level runs a Coral level guests only exclusive restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner with all options including seafood, steak and etc everyday. Also Coral level has 110 rooms which makes the resort very quiet and peaceful. Selection Iberostar has a big swimming pool with over 400 rooms and is more like Cancun in a party atmosphere and many families. Most of the reservation needed dinner restaurants are in Selection Iberostar. Grand Iberostar is an adult only, more elegant & classic look and is very quiet.

The properties very nice, we stayed right in front of the pool! All the service was spotty. And the food was very good. Probably next time we’re gonna stay here again.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The pool is gorgeous in the location is the best in Punta Cana. Many options to eat out just right there.

Beautiful aria with beautiful pool, I will stay comfortable and affordable.

Pros: Nice pool. Unlimited filtered water cooler in room. Hot water. Good water pressure. AC worked well. Beds comfortable. Office clerk spoke English. Choice of 6 free breakfasts at restaurant 1/2 block away. No bugs. Ok place for price. Cons: music playing across street until 12-1 AM every night. Some lime build up on faucets but this is a high humidity environment.

Little hard to find. Water not hot. Just tepid, but after being in hot sun is all you need. Plenty of good restaurants with live entertainment minutes away. Neighborhood a little noisy. Spectacular beach 5 minutes away. Great value for the money.

The apartment was spacious and beautifully decorated. The terrace and private pool was great for the children and adults. What you see on the pictures is exactly what the space offer. The location is also brilliant, 2 minutes walking to the beach and 5 minutes walk from many restaurants and shops. Don’t hesitate to book this property! Muchas gracias por todo! Volveremos!

Newer property in perfect location just steps from the beach and restaurants. Building staff were super friendly and accommodating. It’s next to a resort so it’s a little noisy at times but that wasn’t the case for us since we enjoyed the music from our rooftop pacuzzi. The pool and yard was clean. There’s a gas grill at pool area and on our rooftop condo. Electric bill is added to your stay at the end but they show you your meter readings at beginning and end. Would highly recommend. Safe and friendly area for family

My husband and I stayed in a 1-bedroom apartment on the first level, pool right outside our patio. Quiet clean place mins from the beach, market and plenty of restaurants. Comes equipped with washer & dryer, cookware & dinnerware. I must say we could have used a coffee pot or tea kettle (the pot they had was no good). Nicely furnished, great air (mainly used @ bedtime). Electric is separate cost at end of stay, we were out most of the stay, so we didn't use much. Weather was great, it did rain at night which cause some flooding (not at the property) which brought a ton of mosquitos so bring some OFF. Daniel was quick to respond, although there wasn't much to contact him about. Oh, the shower drains a bit slow but considering all of the floods in the surrounding area I didn't complain. Overall, for the price I'd definitely stay here again, and I'd bring my family to stay in some of the larger units. Thank you, Daniel!

Travelled to Beach Homes Punta Cana with 3 other girls and upon walking into the apartment we were pleasantly surprised how lovely it was! The apartment was nicer in person! The layout was very nice, kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, plenty of space to hang out. It felt like our own little VIP booth. The 3 bedroom apartment with a dip pool was located on the second floor and set back from the road, making it really nice a quiet at night. Fans and AC made the space comfortable at night and during the day we loved having all the sliding doors fully open , opening up the apartment and patio as one big space. One of the doors had a locking issue which was immediately addressed and fixed by the building manager. This was one of the best places I have stayed while traveling to a hot country!

The place was absolutely gorgeous with plenty of room for our 3 adults 4 kids family (the 3 bedroom option). The view from the balcony was spectacular. The beach is just a few minutes walk away and there are plenty of stores right by the apt. Our kids also loved the private balcony pool. Just know that you will have to pay for your electricity usage. Comes out of your deposit. Wasn’t bad though. Also Daniel was highly communicative and very helpful. Would absolutely stay here again.

Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at Villas Agua Dulce. The villa itself was amazing – spacious, beautifully designed, and filled with incredible artwork that gave it a unique charm. The rooms were comfortable and spotless, and the huge kitchen made it so easy for us to enjoy meals together. The pool was a highlight of our stay – not only refreshing during the day but also breathtaking at night with its gorgeous lighting. The peaceful surroundings and stunning scenery made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff were fantastic and attentive, always making sure all our needs were met and going above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. Everything was extremely clean and well taken care of, which gave us peace of mind throughout our stay. We highly recommend Villas Agua Dulce to any family looking for a relaxing, beautiful, and memorable vacation. It truly exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to return!

Excellent host and team which takes care of you. The rented villa had an amazing infinity pool and incredible sea view, what a sun dawn each day. See you soon again !

The pool was so nice, especially during the night time! Rooms were super nice and air conditioned, each having their own bathroom. Setting was very nice and the outside looked beautiful during the day. Rooms had a connected balcony which was beautiful! Food was delivered to our door and so were things from the supermarket, making it super convenient. Workers were very friendly and welcoming. Massages were great!!

Rented the villa for my sin's bday and it above and beyond. Lovely decoration and very clean. Def renting again as the staff was very friendy and professional.

The property is clean and beautiful. The staff is super friendly and helpful, but if you know Spanish it helps even more for smoother communication. I wish we could stay for longer. The villa was big and had washer, dryer and other utensils. They also have a private pool, would definitely recommend this place to more people. It’s also convenient to go to many places from here. Only one thing was - wish they had more restaurants and included breakfast in the package. Overall it was great!

Beautiful location, amazing pool and service. Nice rooms with strong wi fi, good A/C, and comfortable beds. Very secluded and safe near a beautiful beach. Great restaurants nearby and close enough to downtown Puerto Plata and its tourist attractions, reachable by Uber and taxi. Also not too far from the airport.

A beautiful, safe, and spotless resort with outstanding staff. We stayed in a villa, which was absolutely perfect. Parking was seamless. The pool on the property was lovely, and the beach club was exceptional. They even provide a complimentary shuttle, but it’s an easy 10-minute walk if you prefer.

Our stay in Xeliter Green one was pleasant. There are a couple things that could use improvement. First, there was no clear indication on where to eat so we ordered out and it took over an hour to get the food. It would have been helpful to have a list of places to eat within walking distance so we knew there was no need to order out. Also, we weren’t given enough garbage bags so we ended up having to stack garbage on the counter which was obnoxious. Last, Wi-Fi was only usable in the villa, which proved to be inconvenient when we had to communicate with the food delivery to find each other. We had to keep running back inside. Other than those minor issues, the stay was good! The views of the mountains are gorgeous, the pool is huge and was mainly unoccupied. The beach was breathtaking. I would visit again, especially since I’m familiar with what to expect.

Property condition is excellent but in this particular one sun tocuh in front and felleing was hot even with air conditioning. A perma (exterior blackout) curtain is needed. Also, many furniture inside the studio and balcony. Not easy to walk and move inside. Coffee maker not working... Service from Xeliter staff was great (Esther and Felicita specially). Pool area and beach excellent...clean and quiet...

I visited with my 2 sisters for our first "Sis-caytion" and the resort was the perfect place for this special occasion. We bonded, dined, relaxed, partied, took beautiful pictures in this picturesque resort and explored Punta Cana! The staff named us "The Destiny's Child" lol. From the warm welcome, to the great entertainment options, cleanliness to the wonderful staff! I can say this is definitely worth the money. I expected a lot considering the expensive price but quite frankly it bit my expectations. Rooms and environment was cleaned around the clock, security was on point. They had something for everything. For an all inclusive, the quality of the food and drinks were 5* restaurant quality (especially if you eat at the restaurants). The breakfast buffet was amazing. We ate ate and ate until we could eat no more. The resort is so beautiful and honestly, whatever your vibe is, there is something for you. The staff- work like robots, so efficient and always on the job but always remain so friendly, happy and always willing to help or make you laugh. I hope they are getting paid well enough (because they deserve it). When you want peace and quiet, or if you want to party of meet people, they had something for you. I normally don't leave reviews but I just had to. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I had a lovely stay at Secrets Tides Punta Cana. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable throughout my visit. Everyone was extremely courteous and professional. I especially want to recognize the receptionists, bag concierges, maids, servers, and chefs, all of whom contributed to an exceptional experience. Thank you for your outstanding service – it truly made my stay memorable!

Ambience Food Hospitality Caring and supportive staff Entertainment Music and art Cleanliness Organisational awareness Friendly and polite All of the above is a 100, I highly recommend and without a shadow of doubt be staying in this remarkable hotel again in my next visit to Punta Cana.

Exceptional service. Immense and immaculate grounds. Rooms are state of the art and nicely appointed. Room was a bit humid for me. Could not figure how to keep the ac below 21c

The hotel staff was superb. They solved any request in the best way, whether it was minor or major. The room and facilities were always spot-clean.

GETTING THERE: The property is in a remote location with lots of nature around. This was beautiful and was exactly what we wanted. We read previous reviews and were prepared for the steep uphill journey. As other traveler’s have stated…a 4x4 is a MUST (do not ignore this recommendation or get creative, low cars will not make it up the hills which appear to have a 45deg incline). COMMS & CHECKIN: The owner provided directions to the property which made it straight forward to find. Checkin was straight forward (although I used Amex throughout my trip in DR with no issues, I was informed that my Amex card was a problem before Checkin so alternatively paid via PayPal). PROPERTY: The property had homely decorations and the 3 bedrooms were ample in size. Very useful for a family of 5 (or even up to 7 people). There were 2 bathrooms and a relaxing veranda with rocking chairs which was our favourite element of the house m. The views of Jarabacoa and sounds of nature (birds, woodpeckers, cockerel) from the veranda were breathtaking!! The grounds are vast and well maintained, nice for a stroll in the hills. The house is far from amenities (such as shops or restaurants) but we had a delivery upon arrival which was delicious and priced as per other local restaurants. A visit to Jarabacoa town is recommended.

This hotel is a true escape into nature, located deep in the jungle with open cabins that let you fully immerse yourself in the experience. The cabin we stayed in was incredibly private and unique, with a comfortable bed, a lovely private pool, and breathtaking views. The fresh air and sounds of the jungle made it an unforgettable stay. Esmeralda, the hostess, was absolutely amazing and made sure we felt welcome and well taken care of. A heads-up: being so close to nature means you’ll encounter some fascinating creatures and hear all kinds of sounds at night. We loved it—it really enhanced the adventure and connection to the surroundings.

10 of 10! True paradise we are very happy that reached this beautiful place. Great weather, our room, pool, bedroom, location and amazing El Valle beach not far from this spot. Take cash with you because generally on the island not easy to pay with card in hotels.

Loved the views, privacy, and private stone pool. We were well positioned to visit El Limon for sunrise before any crowds arrived and were able to get the whole place to ourselves.

This was definitely a top 10 on my list easy. If you love nature and being one with it this is definitely the place to be when traveling. Getting to the actual place can be tricky, however luckily a civilian gave us a ride on his motorcycle. Not too many people take cars back there, however once you're back there you can ask to rent a 4 wheeler and from there YOU'RE WINNING!! I encourage anyone to visit this beautiful place and put down the phones, and connect with your loved one.

The best thing about our stay was the connection to nature. The gardens are beautiful and the view from our treehouse was stunning. We felt so close to the birds, flowers, butterflies and stars at night. It is a unique experience, a wonderful change from a standard hotel. The host and staff are pleasant and welcoming. Breakfast in the morning was freshly prepared and delicious. It is a bit off the beaten track but the only 10-15 min by car to beautiful beaches and the El Limon waterfall.

Beautiful property and layout. Brand new hotel, Hardly any other guest. Wished we were placed in a better room - It was overlooking a partial parking lot for golfers, we did have ocean view & it was beautiful. Pools and staff excellent. Prices are outrageous at the restaurants & food was not good. $10 for a coconut water then fruit plate & tax & tip equals $67. I asked for papaya, I was charged for a full fruit plate. Breakfast is $50/person. No Uber eats allowed. Go to Jumbo, you can get fruits etc to take back. Dinner first night for 3 was $212. John, Aissette & Junior were amazing! Friendly, courteous and extremely helpful to us. Made our stay welcoming and worth it! Book excursions- it’s worth it. Unfortunately there’s a seaweed issue on beach but the clean it every morning.

Brand new hotel with a lot of potential, the hotel is the most beautiful I’ve seen in Dominican, the staff really give the extra mile to take good care of you. Is new and there are some things that are still missing: no pizza in any of the restaurants, staff is still a little bit fresh and learning how to navigate around but thise things are going to improve with time. Loved that they bring you a cooler with water when in the pool or beach, also during the afternoon they bring non alcoholic drinks and

One of the best hotels I've stayed in (and I've stayed at many hotels). Obviously this is a brand new hotel and you can tell. Everything is sparkling new. Everything has been so well thought out. The attention to detail is just insane. Check in was a little slow but we were offered beautiful drinks and a cool towel which was a nice touch. The staff were so kind and sweet with my 2 year old boy - playing with him and giving him attention. The room was stunning (we were upgraded). The views - breathtaking. Then our butler arrived. They offered us coffees throughout and waters. Butler service was good but can be improved and refined. A few times we waited longer than needed for our drinks. I'm sure with time, they will improve this service that they offer. Hotel facilities are divine. Dining is pricey but amazing. Be prepared to spend a lot of money to eat at this hotel (if you come to PC you know eating out is expensive anyway!). The spa treatment was very expensive but worth every penny. I would have used the spa for longer. Their relaxation area is amazing and the nibbles they provided were gorgeous. One of the best treatments I've ever had. For $195 I would expect nothing less! I would 100% return - if they don't raise their prices too much (which they most likely will and so they should!) Check out was also too slow. They are still working on their processes but apart from that I highly recommend.

Hotel maravilloso, nuevo y fantástico el personal del hotel muy atentos, los restaurantes son de excelente calidad especialmente Ninas por otro lado aparte de todo lo bueno me parece un poco costoso y recomendaría al hotel incluir el desayuno en el costo de la habitación. Tiemblen un bar de fumadores excelente y con excelente atención quiero felicitar a todo el personal de este bar, deivi Jenny María Samuel Kordy milsiades y raulin felicidades por excelente servicio. Volvería ir sin duda y otra cosa el Gym es espectacular

We celebrated our 18th Wedding anniversary, this place is the best resort in the Caribbean to-date and I’m from Turks and Caicos Islands. No complaints!

Just returned from an 11 night stay. We travelled with our 8.5 month old and had a preferred club swim out room. Our butler Willy was amazing and was always there to help us. The resort itself is more beautiful than we imagined. The food was great and PC was definitely worth the extra money in our opinion. The food options were great and not having to make reservations was perfect for us with our little one. The staff work so hard and we had a fantastic time. Weather was perfect too! Would return :)

Family of 9- 3 rooms stayed at Dreams Flora and had a blast! Our Butler Will was the best and checked in on us everyday and made sure we had the best vacation. The staff here make this resort. Everyone we encountered was happy and friendly! I have been to many HIC resorts and this was one of my favorites. I usually stay at Secrets since we don’t have kids but I would 100% come back to Dreams Flora! We had 2 Preferred Club swim out rooms which were PERFECT and my MIL and FIL got the Preferred Club Ocean Front Master Suite which was beautiful. We rented a cabana on the beach one day and the staff was wonderful. The beach had sargassum but we didn’t care! We still went in the ocean and had a great time. The food was good, the grounds were beautiful and we all around had a great time. Thanks Dreams for a great vacation!!

We went as a group for my daughter's wedding from September 29th through October 6th. The resort is gorgeous and beautiful. It is a big resort so it took me a couple days to orient myself. Service was impeccable See Julio and Juan at buffet Our room was clean, and we had a turn down Service Swim up bars had amazing Service Entertainment team is SUPERB! I will go back A la carte we did Himitsu , delicious Portofino good not great Buffet delicious and variety for everyone and with a kids section awesome. Seaside grill for wedding reception was excellent Towel people don't forget about them

We loved the beach (there was a lot of seeweed, but they clean it every day) and the water park, the hotel stuff was very nice all the time. We liked some of the restaurants, the good thing is you don’t need a reservation for the restaurants, but there can be a long waiting list,so make sure you go there early and put your name on the list. The swim-up rooms were very nice with kids. The food was very good, there was a huge variety of food. Unfortunatelly we got a stomach thing on our second day and it lasted till the end of our stay, so we couldn’t really enjoy it. Not sure what was the cause-it was our first time in DR, we were at another resort before and there were no problems like that.

The resort was beautiful. The swim up pool was in a location away from foot traffic thank goodness. Elite made the trip top notch with the delicious restaurant, bar only elite could use, and separate beach area where we could always find an open bed unlike the pool area.

The staff is just over the top. Drinks, the swim-up pool in the room, RIU party and Honeymoon gifts were just amazing! Thank RIU team for the best holidays we could ever have

I got the swim up suite it was amazing, food was great staff members was very to help . The riu party are crazy I went to 2 if the 3 partys they host, I got a vip section everytime.

I enjoyed the staff. They were very helpful and always happy. I could mention specially Bermudez from the pool who was always so attentive and helpful. Always trying to please us in every way.

Pool areas was great offered a lot of excursions on the resort sports bar was very nice and entertainment was live and fun room have four liquor options Jim tequila, rum, vodka refrigerator was stacked with drinking options and snacks. You are allowed to visit the Sister resorts next-door. One resort has a waterslide. There is also a casino which they really don’t tell you about unless you look at the map, but it was nice I went for bingo night and the spa was amazing.

The apartment was beautiful, and the owner clearly thought of everything when preparing it for rent. It had washers and dryers, towels for the pool, towels for use inside the apartment, and even beach chairs (though we didn’t use them, as the beach in front of the apartment isn’t ideal for swimming—maybe just for relaxing and enjoying the breeze). The owner responded to my messages very quickly, making our stay very pleasant.The small pool was lovely and open until late, perfect after a long day of sightseeing. The restaurant in front of the apartment, La Lola, is 100% recommended.

Interior is beautiful and the place is very comfortable and modern

There is a full bathroom with a washer and dryer outside in the pool house as well as an outdoor shower. It is close enough to the beach and restaurants that you could walk. The owners of this property take very good care of it. I felt as though I was in my own home with my family. My family travels from the States twice a year to visit relatives in DR and absolutely will be back!! We highly recommend renting this beautiful Villa.

Beautiful villa and surrounding property. Wet bar by the pool for added convenience. 3 full bathrooms

I did a lot of research before booking and this resort exceeded my expectations! We stayed 7 days in late April and were upgraded to the exclusive Sun Club for free through Expedia—this really made the trip. Sun Club perks included a child-free exclusive pool and beach area, a private lounge with snacks, room service, and an exclusive buffet with no wait times. It was quiet, relaxing, and perfect for couples. Service was excellent, staff were friendly, and housekeeping was great. Wi-Fi worked well, and the resort app (used for reservations and room service) was surprisingly convenient. The mini bar was a nice touch. Food was delicious with lots of variety. We especially loved Chopsticks for hibachi—no extra charge and unlimited reservations! Drinks were also great and widely available. We didn’t leave the resort, but it’s located along a strip of other resorts and the surrounding area didn’t feel very safe, so caution is advised. Minor downsides: the beach had a lot of sea moss (though they tried to clean it), and there was limited shade at both beach and pool. As for airport transportation, Uber works (don't listen to them if they say its "unsafe" or bad, they want you to take a taxi) —don’t pay more than $25 USD between the airport and this resort. The resort might provide transportation though I'm not sure, we didn't use it. Overall, this trip was a fantastic value. Consider upgrading to Sun Club 100%. We'd absolutely return if visiting Punta Cana again!

Breathtaking Beachfront Views – Waking up to the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches right at my doorstep was truly a dream. Exceptional Service – The staff were warm, friendly, and always went the extra mile to make sure I felt pampered and relaxed. All-Inclusive Luxury – From endless food and drinks to fun activities and nightly entertainment, everything was taken care of — no stress, just vibes! Beautifully Maintained Grounds – The property was spotless, with lush tropical gardens and pools that made every walk feel like a stroll through paradise. Delicious Dining Options – A wide variety of restaurants and cuisines meant I was never bored — every meal was a new experience! Spa & Wellness Vibes – The spa services were heavenly — think massages, hot tubs, and full-on relaxation. Entertainment & Activities – Whether it was poolside games, beach parties, or nightly shows, there was always something fun happening. Romantic & Peaceful Atmosphere – Perfect for couples or anyone just needing a serene escape.

Everything was great. Like all hotels in Punta Cana very cheap cocktails. Nothing to do with the hotel itself. Ive been to many 4 & 5 stars hotels in Punta Cana, but there are two reasons why i dislike traveling here. #1 very few hotels have heated pools. #2 drinks are awful. In Mexico the cheapest hotel has a heated pool & top notch drinks. A margarita is made with real lemons.

Resturants were hit or miss. Chop sticks was good. Tiki taco was good. Even though its Italian food. Sunnys Delight was great. Brazilian restaurant horrible. Never had enough meat for tables on skewers. Plus waiters kept going to same tables. Buffet was horrible. Salad bar was bland and sides that were hot were not. Checking in was fast and easy! Stayed on adult side. Except room had no wash clothes. Called 4 times between 4pm-10pm on first night there. Had to go down to desk and let them know about there service. After i exspressed myself had no more issues. Room service was great got to be well known. Asked for Caliente. Got Caliente! Adult side buffet was great. Had to be in there within first 2 hrs of opening. After that food wasnt replenished as well. Staff was great and friendly. Pool side had bar and small buffet in adult side. Great presentation of snacks. Except flies got to enjoy more than myself everyday. Told workers to see if sandwiches could be covered. Guess people like flies on food. Drinks from staff at bar were good. Limited choices on alcohol. Made it work though. Shows were good. Except they start after 930pm. Thats way too late. Need to be earlier like 8pm. I say for families with kids. Plus no night club there. Also bars close at 11pm and open at 10am. Liquor in rooms are a no other than 2 bottles of beer. Beach is a waste. Cannot kayak but so far because of boats. Seaweed is all on sand and water. Pool side is better just go early to find a chair

The resort is beautiful and our stay was very nice. There are many pools and play areas for children. The room was slightly dated and did need a little maintenance but it appears as though they are updating some of the rooms. Check in via the sun club was relaxing and didnt take too long. Be prepared to walk as the resort is fairly spread out. The food and drinks were very tasty but the poolside service is non existant. If you want to have a drink be prepared to walk to the nearest bar area though if you speak spanish you can wave down one of the staff. I prefer to walk so that was my choice. We rented a bali bed one day and the service for that was wonderful and the resort staff were able to keep the bulk of the beach vendors at bay. The resort credit was also in the form of coupons for bottles of liquor and spa services so we didnt really end up using it. The restaurants are nice (even the buffets which is rare for an all-inclusive). Kaleidoscope was our favorite buffet and we did one of their al la carte restaurants (chopsticks) the servings there are on the smaller side but you can order as needed and the service is very nice. Tipping for service is optional but if you tip a few bucks here or there you are remembered and appreciated. I would definitely stay again. Great value for the price in my opinion.

For the discounted price we paid, the room was great! It was much better than the rooms I have stayed in at other resorts in the area for the same price. The rooms were very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the air conditioning kept the room a nice temperature. We also loved the pool. It was very clean and gave you plenty of room to swim without being right next to someone else!

Lovely place, staff helpful and room clean and quite. Great, will recommended to anyone. Apartments are beautiful. Yes I will stay again

Great home place looks even better in person and great location will be staying there when I come back!

A nice and safe (!) place to stay and enjoy your vacation. We can fully recommend the villa!
