All-inclusive hotels on first line in Dominican

Leonel was an amazing hotel animator! Always smiling, full of positive energy, and incredibly engaging with guests. He made every activity fun and made everyone feel included. Thanks to him, our stay was even more enjoyable and memorable. Truly a great asset to the hotel thank you, Leonel!

Very nice resort. Food is good. The steak house is very good. Beach is nice. Entertainment crew is super friendly and very engaging. Spicy, Maria, Jeffery, yarlis, and myrobi, made are stay great and always kept Us entertained pool side. Younger omelette cook with notched eyebrows is the hardest worker I have ever seen and was always so polite to me. On the boom scale I give it 5 big booms💪

We went there Dec 2024 and forgot to post a review. Here i am to do it now- we had a wonderful experience. Food was delicious in the buffet and in the specialty restaurants as well. Coco loco and blue Havana were my favourites in my whole trip. Rooms were super clean and staff were really nice. It was my birthday after 3 weeks of our visit and they still decorated our room door with happy birthday...

We had an excellent stay at this hotel! Everything was perfect for a successful holiday: clean rooms, a pleasant setting, and a friendly team who took great care of us. The overall atmosphere was great, and we felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. Joeffreey definitely helped make our stay unforgettable. Always full of energy, available, and very professional, he knows how to make everyone feel...

Great experience at Serenade this week. The food was better than we expected (highly recommend the sushi!), the drinks were good (especially the main bar in the lobby!) the pools were great, and the beach was beautiful. We came with our one year old and also really loved the kids club, where the employees were friendly and kind! The club had activities for kids of all ages. Our room was spacious and...

Best Experience ever!!! Food was great! Room was great!! And the entertainment team went above and beyond!!! Even during a rainy day they made sure we had fun and enjoyed ourselves. Thanks so much to Leonel Chocolate, Coca-Cola and Maria for making our experience unforgettable. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

The hotel is very good I highly Recommend it. We had so much fun and the entertainment team is honestly amazing we loved them. Best entertainment team and photography team I have seen.

Visited this resort in September 2025, not bad overall, but a lot of things to improve especially in comparison with the others Iberostar selection resorts. The location is perfect, there is an amazing beach with a lot of sun loungers available. The main restaurant is great, food variety and service are beyond any expectations. The vibe is very calm and relaxing, no loud music, no parties, no annoying...

The staff is superior to any other place, the food is top tier, the beach is amazing. Will continue to go back

They don't have drinking water in the rooms, the rooms are old and dirty, the hotel in general needs renovation.

Thee property was beautifull, rooms nice and spacious. There was not much beach area and very crowded, pools were in much need of update on tile & plaster.

New Yea Beautiful hotel and beach. Excellent service. The live entertainment has been better in the past.

We arrived in the evening; it was raining, and we had to walk to the far end of the complex. The walkways were flooded, and the reception staff didn't have any umbrellas. The water was so high that our shoes and socks were completely soaked. The rooms shown in the photos are probably in the front part of the hotel. The cleanliness was not up to the standards of a 4-star hotel. The toilet seat was loose...

We booked 3 rooms. One for our 2 sons (16 & 19), one for our daughters (14, 16 & 18), and one for us. Me and my husbands room smelled so bad of sewage, i could not sleep. We complained and they changed us to a much better room. The air conditioner was broken but they did try to fix it right away. When they couldn't, they offered another room. We didn't want to change again so we asked for a fan....

Staff very good the food average quite bland on most of & but overall very A okay resort for prices. Quite close to nice Bavaro Beach

Nice beach but you have to walk through another hotel to get there. Staff are very nice!! Food was not good at all. Bedroom was okay but there was a leak in the bathroom roof.

We specifically booked this hotel for one night because of the rooftop pool shown as the main photo online. It was the primary reason for choosing this property. Upon arrival, we were told that the rooftop pool is not included and actually belongs to another hotel, which felt very misleading. The listing states “all inclusive,” but this was not fully accurate. The bathroom had a strong unpleasant smell...

The facility is good. The beach towel they charge $10 if you borrow and bring to the beach area. The hotel activity coordinator was amazing hospitality Rosa, Yhon and Jose the bar tender. Thank you guys for taking care of us during our stay. From Garcia Family Philippines/canada 😂

We had a wonderful time at this resort! It was me,my husband, our adult daughter and our 9 year old son. Everyone loved it and we are already planning our next trip! I was a little disappointed that there weren't any loungers on the beach,but when we asked at the front they said we could take a few down,as long as we brought them back. We did that and it was awesome, we especially enjoyed the quiet...

A hidden gem in a tropical paradise, Sosua by the Sea Hotel is undergoing a complete renaissance. Having recently regained ownership, the family that built this 90-room, 3-story boutique hotel is infusing it with improvements inside and out. Only 15 minutes from POP airport, the hotel is nestled in a quiet section of town right on the waterfront. Sequestered from the noise of partygoers and motoconchos...

We came to stay at this boutique hotel by means of a missions group experience. The room was clean & comfy, the buffet was sufficient enough to fill a hungry belly, This small resort suited the needs for a place to eat & sleep and provides a wild & calm sea experience on either side. What gives this place the boost of stars were the people that work here. The front desk manager Jose is excellent...

One of Sosua’s older hotels, Sosua by the Sea is back in the hands of its original owners. The hotel is undergoing a refresh; suck as sliding balcony doors and windows and standing shower stalls. Aside from great service, one of the most underappreciated aspects of Sosua is its location, centrally located but on a quiet side street. The hotel itself is peaceful, no blaring music or huge crowds. I...

Food is pretty good but the service staff here is exceptional. I had just a minor little issue and they went above and beyond to rectify it and make our stay even more enjoyable.

My last week at the Viva V Semana resort has been filled with wonderful experiences that I will remember and cherish for a long time. From the attentive staff to the beauty of the location itself, I have been more than satisfied with my stay here. My favourite activity (among the many possibilities) was the twice daily yoga classes offered by a professional instructor of the company NRG2GO. I attended...

Room was nice and clean. Sound of the waves very nice. The food was terrible. My husband actually used the word gross. Cold pasta, warm cheese. Empty juice or no glasses. Pizza is ok but for this price I do not want to eat pizza every meal. Omelet was very good.

It is an only adults hotel, which means quite and relaxing time. Beautiful and well maintained gardens. Beach is great, water is warm but rough. Maybe for younger people is good, they can use the boards/surfs that the hotel offer for free. It is fun! Variety of food, abundant; but on my second day there I got sick. Si I loose 50% of my vacations feeling horrible. Beds super comfy, AC working perfectly...

Ok resort - either twenty-somethings or older retirees for the most part. Food was excellent but service was not. If you don't speak French or Spanish, you will be ignored. Staff aggressive for tips and focus on that rather than providing real service. Found this from the Airport to the Resort and the day trips. Beach was great for walks but incredibly rough and the water was cloudy, which meant snorkelling...

The room had a foul smell to it but we figured that since we would only be there for sleeping, we could deal with it. The staff were okay just that we felt that unless you were a foreigner (caucasian) they would have treated us with respect and equality. The food was not as good as Viva Cabarete and the drinks were also watered down. Worst thing that happened that our 3rd day there I became sick...

The check in staff was phenomenal. The only incident was in the morning when a gentleman by the name of Felipe approached us to talk to us about the club. We’ve been in many resorts and are not interested in this at this time. Have had very bad experiences with this timeshare/club sessions. The gentleman became very defensive when my husband said he was not interest. He got a bit rude and said he was...

We’re just at the end of a two week vacation and have had a great time. William and his team are absolutely brilliant. William runs the pool bar and gave us a warm welcome and always greeted us with a smile. We hope to return again soon. Many thanks William and team.

We felt extremely comfortable and welcome during our stay. We booked TRS Turquesa, and even though we were staying there, we came to this hotel every single evening for 10 days to enjoy drinks at the bar and the music. We had an amazing time with the staff and built a great connection with the bar team. They fulfilled every wish we had and shared wonderful moments with us — listening to music together...

I had Mayeli personally attend me she was on top of everything such and amazing friendly person she made sure me and my guest had a great time very helpful with recommendations for food and activities around the area and helped so much i give her 5 stars and 10/10 loved her

This place is phenomenal. William and Rosa and Larry and everyone at the pool bar will make you feel like family. William remembered our names, our drinks and really made us feel like we had a friend to see everyday. William is one of the reasons my wife and I will absolutely be back to this hotel. Cheers to William he is simply the best.

PROS: Beautiful BIG campus immaculately manicured. Easy drive from the airport. CONS: I didn't think you were supposed to tip at an all inclusive...but everyone was! I did not bring ANY cash. There were multiple "concierges" trying to get you book things...I'm not sure what their purpose was. They were relentless...posted up all over the campus asking if you wanted to book a spa package. They must...

We had an amazing stay overall and would absolutely come back again. The hotel facilities are beautiful and very well maintained, and there is so much to see and do around the property. A special shoutout to Don Julio at the Guayacan lobby bar. He is truly the best bartender. If you stay here, make sure to stop by for a drink with him. He made our evenings extra special. Our villa, number 65, was...

We really enjoyed our stay at TRS Turquesa. Some of the highlights were the ocean, the pools, and the service. The rooms were acceptable, but had some quirky features or needed minor maintenance. The Las Torres buffet was a really. The sit down à la carte restaurants were hit or miss. My two favorites were Kusko and Bhogali. Don’t expect to have fast service at the restaurants, it is more of a laid...

Amazing experience!! The service was phenomenal, all needs taken care of. Our butler, Edward was attentive and helpful and very friendly! Elin, was our server and bartender throughout our stay and she made the trip! So happy to help and great to be around! The entertainment staff, especially Kendall and Jesus, were so engaging and cheerful! Resort was clean and provided everything we needed for a great...

This is our second time at Trs in 2 years and we absolutely loved it. The beach is amazing, the rooms are super nice, the food options are great but the service is the best part. All the staff is very nice and welcoming. Having your own butler is a big plus as they help you book excursions/activities and get you anything you need to make your stay better. Big shoutout to Rodney and Cesareo these guys...

We had an amazing stay at TRS Turquesa in Punta Cana. Everything about the experience was excellent. Our butler Edward was the absolute best. He was kind, generous, attentive, and made our trip feel effortless and special. The food across the resort was fabulous. We tried Helios by the beach, Kusko which serves Japanese and Peruvian fusion cuisine, La Boheme which offers beautiful French dishes, Capricho...

Wife and I went to renew our vows after 25 years. I surprised her with several family members at the ceremony. The wedding coordinator and staff worked hard to keep my wife from running into any of the surprise guests for 2 days. The grounds although under major construction of one of the 3 hotels were beautiful. Great beach views and great beach backdrop for our vow renewal. Our butlers in building...

Hotel in a large complex right in front of Bavaro beach. The facilities are good, although compared to other hotels I miss an infinity pool. What I liked least was the quality of the food, worse than expected, and the service a bit slow. For several days they did not refill the minibar.

This was a wonderful experience, being treated like a VIP was new to me. Service was awesome. There were a few fixes w/Room, however they were taken care of quickly. Tito the bartender was a treat, Denise at the spa was amazing, front desk staff was courteous and professional. I will be back!

Everyone at this resort treated us with the utmost respect. We enjoyed it so much that we became members. So very glad thatvwe did as the upgraded restaurants were fantastic. We are very much looking forward to our next trip and many more to come with family and friends.

It was a delightful and relaxing trip. The resort is huge with so much to do. By the end of the week I started understanding the layout. You will do a lot of walking, which is good. All the staff are amazing and kind and courteous. Some of them serving food or drinks got more engaged in socializing with their peers or looking at their phones and we’re at times forgetful with drinks, but it didn’t bother...

I had a great stay at Presidential Suites by Lifestyle. The place is very comfortable and relaxing, with a nice atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well maintained. The staff was super friendly and always helpful, which really made the experience even better. The pool area and common spaces are perfect for relaxing and enjoying your time.

My opinion as an American tourist. Good for you if: 1. You don't mind a developing country and all that entails(diarrhea, poor internet, poor maintanance) 2. Budget friendly 3. Food isn't important to you on vacation. 4. You like to drink alcohol 5. You enjoy relaxing by the pool. 6. You want a big spacious room Not for you if: 1. You want actual luxury. 2. Eating good food is an important part...

Extremely well kept and maintained property, the staff truly seems to understand the whole ethos of hospitality.

Had a great time. Room spotless & service impeccable. Food was average, but clean.

Staff is by far the best and the most standing out thing

Had initial issues with the rooms. They gave us a different room after that, everything was great.

The rooms and the hotel were very clean. All the employees were very friendly. ONE VERY PLUS WAS THE PRESIDENT BEERS were fro mte bottle.

The staff was very nice and helpful, Specially thr bartender (Mauricio) at the lobby bar. He was very knowledgeable of the drinks and recomended a restaurant in the town outside the resort.

Amazing Food and great prices compared to the other spots in the area

Pool hours should be extended to at least 9:00 pm

The buffets were good, had themes and good variety. Some of the restaurants that didn't need reservations had long waits.

Cons: We took our own wash clothes (different fabric) and the cleaning staff took them and never returned them to us. The rooms are dated with minor issues. There was a light fixture that was hanging off the wall when we arrived to our room. Flies was on food that wasn’t being monitored. Food quality questionable and food choices repetitive. Beach peddlers and their hasslers trying to sell something...

Our 3rd time in this hotel and we don't have any reason to try another place

It's our second stay in the property and we loved every second of it. Stuff is always ready to help with a genuine smile on their faces.

The staff was great but the food was very average. I did wish there was greater entertainment that didn’t include guest and something included for the kids to get them out of the sun… like a game room that was not for money. Beds and room were cozy. Circus was great. Again staff was amazing!

This facility is the best! We stayed for a week late March 2026. The rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. The area is safe. I would go out the locked gate early mornings and walk. Everyone was pleasant. The hotel and area is so quiet. The massage and horseback riding was unmatched! The staff was very friendly and helpful. They ended up being like family! Moises, Gleni, Anna, Chickie,...

a week here; satisfactory rooms, including good cooking facilities; quite good amenities on site; a fair walk to the beach; some nearby shops; fairly casual reception; need car or shuttle for trips to Cabarete or Sosua

We arrived in Jan (off season) it was super quiet and what we wanted (we were the only ones there besides staff) allowing us to take amazing pics (I haven’t n loaded yet) it was a great experience. Although at night, I did get a tiny bit concerned when we went back to tip the staff and there wasn’t anyone to be found. Nothing bad happened in fact we are planning on coming back. The view was great the...

The location is a bit complicated but very quiet.

The location should have been closer to the city. You must have transportation for outside shopping, restaurants, etc. The location is secluded, but nice if you want to just stay in one place. I would recommend Casa Linda for this area.

Everyone made this stay the best one yet. I had no issues and everything went smooth. The shuttle bus was very convenient. And the restaurant had many foods to offer. Pools are very clean and it is a very quite resort.

Pool had tile falling out, ac didn’t work in our suite, faucet was broken, phone didn’t work, needed help opening our safe… all requested multiple times and never fixed. Food was ok, Italian was really good. Beach was nice but small

Let’s start off by saying entertainment team, beach and pool reserved restaurants are good! Now the rooms are humid do not drink the filtered water I got extremely sick as well as many others at the resort they gatekeep the water bottles and won’t provide it to you at all!!! Front desk is very stand off ish and rude the rooms have bugs buffet food nasty just overall wouldn’t go back again would go...

food everywhere and many many activities for adults and kids, staff was very nice had no problems my stay was great, loved that the balcony of the room had a place to hang clothes for after you get out the pool, would definitely visit again it was fun

This was honestly a 5 star stay. The staff was amazing- they were personable, attentive, and overall just made you feel very welcomed. Usually I don’t care for all inclusive resort food, but I really really enjoyed the food here. Everything was flavorful and abundant. We stayed for New Year’s Eve and it was done very very nicely. There was a lot of thought and effort that was put in for the guest to...

I loved my stay at Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada. My check-in was a little rough at first because my room was mixed up with my in-laws’ room and one of the keys wouldn’t open. However, the staff fixed everything quickly, and after that, it was smooth sailing. The room was perfect—very clean and comfortable—and they even had an extra bed ready for my son. The staff was amazing from check-in to check...

The property is nice but a little older than anticipated. It is very well maintained. Staff was very nice and will to help with any situation especially Perla and Migel. Perla was an angel. We would have loved more Dominican dishes and some ginger ale as a soda option.

Rooms were great. Got a free upgrade because we were the only ones there for the back half of our trip. Very quiet and peaceful. Not a ton of food options but everything was good. Staff was very nice and accommodating. They have bottled water and bagged ice available whenever you need it. Great for a quick romantic getaway. 40 min from the airport. The beach the house is on is gorgeous and has a great...

Everything stood out! As soon as you walk onto the resort you feel the vacation. Service is A+, room was very cozying and amazing. The views are so gorgeous I didn’t want to leave. The guests are all considerate and nice. Perfect resort for couples!

My stay was absolutely perfect. I wish I could have stayed longer. Safe location, private beach access just 500 feet walk. Quiet, peaceful, serene. The staff is so accommodating and make you feel so welcome and I dont know if i felt more like family or royalty there. I ate evey meal there. Very reasonable price. Jerry was so great every night-Very kind. The manager Sam is truly a great man and makes...

Beautiful grounds with very friendly staff

One of the best vacation experiences I’ve had. The place is beautiful, the staff is excellent, the food is great and the area is fun to explore.

Serenity If the loud, party atmosphere is not your jam, then Selectum Hacienda is for you. So quiet and serene. The staff is all very professional, kind and accommodating. The breakfast is a true feast. You are steps away from the beach or you can choose to relax poolside. This truly was what we needed.

Good food Good bar service Terrible reception service

Some of the staff were rude and some pleasantly nice. The food and drinks were average. Room service was horrible with limited options and cold food once delivered. Very few activities for guest and the check in process was horrible. Long wait times and booking information was not clear. The cleaning ladies did a sub par job leaving the bathroom filthy every day. Overall I would rate this place 4...

Great resort! Good value. Lots to do while you are there. Beach is beautiful. Pool is great. All the bartenders are amazing, talented and attentive.

Absolutely Incredible All-Inclusive Experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was hands down one of the best vacations I’ve ever had! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The hotel offers unlimited drinks across several bars and unlimited food from a variety of restaurants – there’s something for every taste. Whether you're craving international cuisine or local flavors, the options are endless...

Because I paid through a third party i was not allowed to amend my reservation and I end up stuck with all of the additional cost and the staff refuse to adjust my reservation. I paid for 4 people all inclusive from Thursday to Sunday. I had to book another hotel for sun to Monday. The hotel refuse to reimburse me for the other room and the additional people who could not makes the trip because they...

I enjoyed my stay in sunscape, the staff are friendly and responsive. Very neat environment.

I would not consider this an English-friendly resort. Most workers do not know any English, this includes service staff and even security officers. This made ordering, checking in, and generally asking for help difficult. I wouldn’t have noted this as a problem if Iberostar did not advertise the location as English-friendly As for the room, the shower didn’t have a door and water would constantly...

We are having an amazing time at Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites. The food is incredibly delicious and service has been great (for the most part - minibar sometimes not stocked without having to call, and face washcloths are hard to come by). We have a terrace room, and the lounger is one of the best spots to relax with a bit of privacy. The pools and grounds are very well kept. Btw, Natalia from...

Perfect!......... This place exceeded our expectations. It is our 3rd. Iberostar resorts in the past 7 years and all were fantastic. Excellent value for your money. Great location. Great selection of food and drinks. Room cleaning service was very good. Pools were wonderful but could have been a bit warmer (ocean was actually warmer than the pools). The beach was great for long walks. Being able...

This was our 4th time to Iberostar Selection and we will definitely be returning again. The staff are very friendly and make us feel like we are home, recognizing us from our previous stays. The grounds are beautiful as well as the beach. They do a wonderful job at keeping the beach clean which is very evident walking on the beach past the Iberostar and seeing how the other resorts keep their beaches...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Iberostar Selection Bávaro. The resort is beautiful, very well maintained, and located directly on a stunning beach with soft white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water. The service truly stands out: the entire staff is exceptionally friendly, attentive, and professional, making you feel welcome from the very first moment. The rooms are modern, clean...

Great staff, good food- the rooms are a bit dated though

Amenities in the hotel were excellent. Staff did an amazing job ( specially one guy, Eliecer)

The staff was helpful, Yarmin, Yamilka, and Sandra from the 3rd floor. Food was not great, and I stuck to fruits throughout my stay. It was inconvenient getting service even though it seemed I was the only guest because bar areas were closed, and often hadd to find someone to provide me a drink. It was boring. It took me 2 hours to check in, and my room was ready an hour after check-in. There are no...

When I was making the reservation I selected the Hodelpa Emotions and I don’t know how it end up being the Hodelpa garden, which in not a resort

MARILUZ treated us very well service at the kitchen

Clean rooms, staff courteous, Family friendly and I have used this facility over 10 times

I regular coustomer the hotel is amazing room food the amenities amazing and staf is another word . The show and entretainers is creatives

The area was very lively which was awesome, there was always good latin music at the pool area, always snacks and food, the beach was so blue and beautiful! Vibes are really cool here, food was good especially the dominican dinner night soo good!

good as always. i like it here

I am satisfied with the hotel. My only complaint is that for two times the same week they gave us access to the room past 4:30 pm .if they cannot deliver the room on time at least they should give some compensation.

Just came here for the Beach Vibes today! The beach and the water were amazing. Also, the Marina Bar at the boat dock was the best. The Bartender did her thing all day!! Amazing Service!

Hotel is already a little old, in need of renovation. The food served is ok, but could be tastier. The hotel's beach is very good.
