“Great for a relaxing vacay with beautiful scenery”
Nice resort with beautiful beaches. Spent 4 days with girfriend relaxing at the pool and the beach. Food was better than average, staff was very friendly, spa was nice and golf course looked very well maintained with some great holes right on the water.
“Great Quiet Hotel”
It was an overall great experience except for when we were leaving; the VIP service that we received when we arrived and also requested upon departure we didn't receive. The staff didnt seem that eager to get the VIP service ready for our departure. But an amazing stay none the less. The hotel is nice and quiet, the breakfast was phenomenal, and the cleaning staff went over and above in regards to the cleanliness of our room. I would highly recommend this hotel for couples who just want a relaxing, quiet and romantic vacation.
“Beautiful, Serene Island Resort”
This is a beautiful hotel and is very well-maintained. The room was very clean and had a lovely patio facing a garden. I wished the bed were softer, though, and the room could have used some more storage space. The food in all of the restaurants was TERRIFIC! We never had a bad meal. It is a very quiet, peaceful place, at least when we were there (mid-April). It may not be the best choice for people looking for a lively scene. But for serenity and beauty, it was great. There were many families with young children, and it seemed like a great place for them. We used the spa several times for services and also for a free yoga class and a free tai-chi class. It was probably the nicest spa I have seen. There is a nature preserve on the grounds of the resort, with walking trails and lagoons, some of which are for swimming. Breakfast is included in the price of the room, and it was a huge buffet breakfast in a beautiful space overlooking the water. The resort is very large, actually encompassing two or three resorts and several golf courses. The staff will drive guests around in golf carts, or you can walk or ride rented bikes. I highly recommend The Puntacana Hotel!
“Truly paradise”
Coming back every year! So relaxing and beautiful.
“Concerned about your punta cana stay?”
The minute you arrive you are greeted with a glass of fruit drink and wonderful assistance. The staff was willing to help in everyway. The rooms were very nice and convenient to all the beaches, pools, and events. Breakfast was fantastic, full baffet of classic and local foods with fantastic and friendly service. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the service fabulous. I would definitely stay there again and we are planning our next trip to the same place. We have traveled to mexico both east and west and different locations and have decided that the puntacana hotel resort is our destination for years to come.
“de-light-ful!”
I liked it all! great room, very close to the beach, huge lawns and terrain, lovely landscaped, great service, great breakfast menu. I will go back. and I will stay there. Do reserve on line but indirectly (not with the hotel) if you want to save some money Do not pay the 40.00 for the transfers of airport if you use the bus. My sons were not happy because they wanted noise and disco and crowded bars, but I Enjoyed It Much with my books, beach for myself, and peaceful walks. Then we hopped on bus and visited Bavaro nearby for lunch at Captain Cook's (seafood beach restaurant), and we even hired motoconchos (motorcycle taxi) to get back. All part of the fun.
“Perfect beauty and relaxation”
This was a blind pick that turned into a pearl of a vacation. The hotel is situated within its beautiful natural environment so completely that you wake up to the sea, the sky and the palms and not to a piece of man-made architecture. The extended beautifully maintained beaches allowed swimming for miles down the coast-line. Water-sports equipment was mostly included and easily available. The resort itself is so extensive it continues to unfold and offer new restaurants and walks day after day. There is an ancient fruit tree garden, a secluded lagoon you can swim in...and everywhere staff who seem to have been born smiling. But night-life and entertainment is not what it's about, so if that's your interest--stay in the casinos down the road.
“Loved Punta Cana!”
We stayed at Punta Cana Resort for 4 nights in a beachside villa and had a great time (2 parents, 1 15 yr old). The place was spotless, a/c worked well, comfy beds. The staff was helpful & most could speak enough English so that we could be understood. No complaints with food or bottled water. THere is a choice of two restaurants and buffet included with meal plan , buffet style of food changes each night (Mexican, Italian, Int'l) and features great smoothie bar at breakfast. THe restaurants are quite lovely, 20 foot ceilings, piano player in background, and although not an extensive menu the food was excellent. The black bean soup with rice and onions was terrific. The water sports were fun,kayaking, snorkeling ( go over to CLub Med to see anything worthwhile snorkeling) and sailing all easily available. THe beach felt private, not crowded at all. The water is beautifully turquoise. My only word of advice would be to remember that while in the DR you are in a third world country; although the service is near perfect at the resort, we needed to remember that not everyone works at the harried pace of Americans and if you will slow yourself down & not expect the stellar service of a NYC 5 star hotel, you will not be disappointed. These people work very hard (you will see the same faces in a multitude of jobs throughout your stay) and a tip assures you almost devoted service. One last thing...bring along repellant with Deet; mosquitos not too bad but you will need it.
“Pretty decent”
Pretty decent
“Can't wait to go back”
Eventhough, I booked this hotel in less than 1 day in advance it was a good hotel. It's not all inclusive but maybe that's the best part of it because not enough people were there. People are very helpful, the rooms are great but the t.v. needs improvement, but really who has time to watch t.v. cause you have a lot of things to do. Make sure to visit Franco's Pizza right next to the pool the Buffalo Pizza it's delicious. And take advantage of the free non motorized sports its worth it.
