Staff was phenomenal I never tipped as much as I did on this trip Armando the front desk staff was amazing he arranged all of my dinners at restaurants and helped with almost everything
The staff, ABSOLUTELY all of them, are extremely attentive and kind. I would recommend this resort a thousand times for the exceptional service. From the reception to the waiters and room service
The common areas were clean and well-maintained, offering a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. The location was perfect—close to everything but far enough from the noise to rest comfortably
The room was spotless, with a very comfortable bed and all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. Breakfast was delicious and varied, with fresh and high-quality options
Staff were all very nice. Denny the bell hop, the young fellow who checked us in, Alexa were all especially great and deserve recognition. Overall a great experience.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent Hotel Experience
My stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, attentive, and professional
Las Terrenas, Crta. las Terrenas - El Limón, km. 4 🧭 Map
About 25 minute walk down the beach towards Las Terenas you come to a cool restaurant and bar called El Mosquito. We were there Nov 2025 and will be going back next year. Excellent resort for all ages
Beautiful resort, the food was fantastic. Staff were good and friendly but not many had very good English. You can walk on the beach for miles and miles
Thank you to entertainment staff Rosa Lidia for always coming and speaking to us and asking about our day
Staff amenities treatment food. Everything was excellent. Definitely recommended Im coming back.
The staff were very friendly and respectful. I have to say that the rooms need an update specially the bathrooms.
The food was also really good. All activities were fun and the beach was incredible.
The buffet food was just okay and after a week it gets to be a bit much, saying that the restaurant itsrlf is lovely and having the a la carte options for 3 nights is great and the restaurants were very good! The location is very pretty it's a lovely beach, but you really are not close to much, you'll have to rent a car or get a taxi into town which is not cheap, but if youre not doing it every day...
The resort’s layout, entertainment, and family-friendly atmosphere created an enjoyable balance between relaxation and activity, making the stay both memorable and stress-free
The amenities were a major highlight, from the well-kept pools and beach access to the wide variety of food options that catered to different tastes
Excellent service, great resort. Clean, good wifi, easy access to whole GBP complex.
Buffet food and restaurants could be improved. And smoking should not be permitted poolside.
The room was spotless and well maintained, with daily housekeeping that ensured a comfortable and relaxing space to return to
Staff were very welcoming hotel and their grounds very clean the transportation around the grounds very convenient. I tried a few restaurants they were very good the activities were fun the shows are very entertaining.
What truly stood out was the overall sense of care and organisation throughout the resort
Punta Cana, Boulevard Turístico del Este Km.28 No.74 🧭 Map
EVERYTHING. Punta Cana is the place go, not only in the wonderful Dominican Republic, but in general The Carribean. And the place to stay in PntaCana; THE HARD ROCK All Inclusive! Resort !!!
Our nine-day stay at Hard Rock Punta Cana was nothing short of exceptional. The resort is impeccably maintained, effortlessly blending vibrant energy with a sense of ease and elegance
Dining was a highlight throughout our stay. Chef Jolanes impressed with exceptional cuisine, and Felix and Davidson provided impeccable service that elevated every meal
If you go to La Isla buffet make sure you hold on tight to your belongings, they stole my phone while I was waiting for my omelette to be made. I placed it down on the counter to grab a tip and I now regret doing that
Our butlers, JC and Jose, delivered truly outstanding service — discreet, attentive, and consistently anticipating our needs with professionalism and grace
The beach team — Yohan, Youhansey, Elvyn, Lorena, Jeffery, Arhensay, and Nury — created a seamless, relaxed experience each day, while Scooby at the pool brought warmth, attentiveness, and an inviting atmosphere
The bar closed at 11 everyday pools close at 6 and do you research before going it's spread out and unclear what you can do or not to do bars restaurants activity ect
The noise level is rarely below 60 decibels. I was next door to the gym and the outdoor music started at 6:15 am. Restaurants were between 70 and 80 decibels. Each pool is louder than the last
The Reservation Restaurants did not impress either
Stay at the resort was overall good, the part in which the Resort needs improvement is the food. The food options and flavor are not up to par with the facility. Food bland, and did not impress
If you love people, music and lots to do then you will enjoy this. If you’re like me and want to listen to the birds with your morning coffee and have some quiet space go somewhere else
Staff and cleanliness was a plus. Cons goes to just one hour entertainment and not much to do for adults at night. Food wasnt also the greatest. After all good for the prive we paid.
Try the french restaurant, good service and great food. Avoid the Rodizio restaurant , poor service , food just ok. Over all is a great hotel but some of the employees need better training .
It was a fantastic stay. Love the service and the attitude of workers there.
I had problems with check-in, I waited 1 hour longer than agreed and they gave me the wrong room, I booked a room and they gave me another and they didn't want to change it.
The buffet food was consistently amazing with lots of variety, and the Mongolian restaurant was hands down the best — a must-try! We had the Privilege membership and it was 100% worth it
We had a fantastic stay at this resort and I want to recognize some of the incredible staff who made our trip so memorable. Luisa at the front desk was warm, welcoming, and so helpful from the moment we arrived
Having our own reserved beach area made a huge difference and felt more relaxing and exclusive. Philippe was incredible and always made sure our drinks were never empty — outstanding service
Deni, the bell boy, was incredibly kind and attentive, and Frank from the wait staff provided consistently excellent service throughout our stay
A huge shoutout as well to the entertainment team, particularly Jose, Luis, Gabriel, Yulainy, and Ray. Their energy, friendliness, and enthusiasm made the atmosphere around the resort so fun and welcoming
The meals were as expected from "good" at the buffer to up to very good at the a la carte restaurants. Great value for the dollar at a DR resort!
They wouldn't let us into the restaurants even during the designated hours. Initially, they gave me a room, but when they opened it, there were still people there—in other words, the security was awful
- Buffets were often messy, plates weren’t clean, and items were rarely labelled properly within the buffet
- Food wasn’t very good at any of the restaurants except the steakhouse
The rooms don't have moisturizer, for example, coconut water is not included and the drinks are all made with pre-made ingredients (no lemon, just industrialized lemon juice)
In short, you can expect a place with good facilities, but the quality of the food and drinks leaves a lot to be desired
Fun hotel with plenty of pools for those who enjoy music and quiet areas for relaxation. The themed parties are some of the best. Good, modern, and welcoming facilities. In my experience, the staff were very attentive
Everything was perfect, from the food, the location, and the staff's attention, making the stay excellent. Highly recommended and a huge thumbs-up from Chayanne!
Punta Cana, Carretera Bávaro Km. 1, Playa Bávaro 🧭 Map
The ocean water is not clear, so not the best for snorkeling but our stay was great - good food, good entertainment, good pools and GREAT drinks! While our stay was good overall, Miguel is the reason we will be back! The resort is incredibly lucky to have such an exceptional employee!
Much appreciated! Thank you!
If you are ever looking for a place to relax on the beach with palm trees , white sand and calm water, where everything is catered to your needs, then look no further than Barcelo Bavaro Beach resort in Punta Cana
Just our first day here and we are already extremely impressed with the quality of the resort, room and the very friendly, gracious hospitable staff! Looking forward to our first dinner at the seafood restaurant!
I'm so happy to find on our first full day here at the beach although has a lot of seaweed washed up, was really beautiful to swim and is loaded up with all sorts of fish! I saw many varieties...
She turns normal moments into memorable ones and guests into family. People like Keila are the reason vacations become stories you tell when you get home. Thank you for making this trip truly epic and legendary
Whether it was activities, shows, or just checking in to make sure everyone was having a great time, she did it all with real passion and a big smile. You can tell she doesn’t just do this job — she lives it
My husband and I, along with our friends, were vacationing at Barcelo Bavaro Beach this December. We just returned and can’t wait till next year to go there again. This is our 12th time in the same resort
The service is outstanding from the moment you walk in Til the moment you leave. The drinks were very good and the reservations for the restaurant you definitely have to try it
The service was equally impressive: Adrianna and Elvis were incredibly kind and attentive throughout our meal. It was so good that we immediately booked a table for the next day! An experience not to be missed !
An absolute delight!
The food at Mareas restaurant is exceptional. We had the lobster, and it was a true treat—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor
I liked everything very much, entertainment, food, many restaurants on the territory
You always have something to do and they have something for everyone of all ages. Claribel Martinez and Angie Diaz from the adults bar “La Perla” gave us excellent service. They were very attentive while we were there
The Unique package was definitely worth it, especially if you plan to visit during peak months. Our butler Victor was the best! He was so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of
Punta Cana, Gran Bávaro Princess, Punta Cana 🧭 Map
Aside from the sewage odor in the area of the Platnum member, the resort is absolutely beautiful. The staff were very warm and welcoming. Our first all inclusive, it was very pleasant and worth the trip
One of the best resort I had ever been! It would be perfect if there is also a free transportation to the airport but all was great! I will definitely comeback again..
Grand Bávaro Princess – All Inclusive was a great experience. The best part, without a doubt, is the beach: wide, soft sand, turquoise water, and a truly beautiful view
Ideal for solo vacationing, couples or families looking for a large all-inclusive resort with an amazing beach and a calm atmosphere
The food was better than expected, especially at the à la carte restaurants—well presented dishes and great taste
Luis was absolutely the best — always smiling, incredibly personable, and attentive to every guest. He made fantastic drinks and went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome
The resort was beautiful with many pools, a serene beach and a lazy river! So many restaurants to choose from plus a buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner
The room was always very clean. The staff were ALL very friendly. The gardens/yards were always clean & tidy. The food was excellent every day…… except Monday (yesterday)
Also the Spice restaurant didn’t cook the shrimp thoroughly it was still transparent. But I would definitely come back as those things are easy fixes!
Had a great time here! Loved that breathless resort was connected to get the best of both worlds.
My personal concierge, Marcos, was excellent!
We just spent a week at the incredible Dreams Onyx Resort with our family of 9, and I can't say enough good things about this place
The place is not too clean. A bit worn out and the restroom disbaled seating has old rust and the drainage is not attached on the shower.
The activities are fun and the food is top notch . Service is amazing too ..
One of the first statements made to us was “you are home. ”
The resort is gorgeous and immaculate. Our room was absolutely perfect. The food was delicious and fresh, every meal, every time
The pools and beach were clean with plenty of amenities. The staff was nothing short of stellar. We will absolutely be returning to Cayo Levantado Resort in the future. Total perfection from start to finish
The surrounding natural beauty makes everything even more special; the island's landscapes are breathtaking. The rooms are very spacious, with comfortable beds, high-quality towels and linens
I cannot speak highly enough for this resort. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming. They went above and beyond and it almost seemed as if they couldn’t help us enough
The cuisine is varied and delicious, with a highlight being the seafood. Yazmin, the Food & Drink manager, made perfect adaptations to our style of enjoying the beach with snacks and drinks
Thank you! In the restaurants, the service from Alan, Luiz, Miguelina, and Esmilsi was impeccable, with special mention to Miguel, always smiling and present everywhere
(the girls names are harder to remember for me but did just as good!) not only was the entertainment crew awesome but the landscapers, life guards, bartenders, restaurant crew, and lobby workers looked like they loved their jobs and gave us a friendly smile and most of the time said hi to us!
The usual suspects of pool chair hogs every stinkin day that the resort needs to better address ( There are signs at literally every pool cabana and umbrella to address the issue but obviously the offenders cant read!!) Second issue is reserving the ala carte restaurants
The ala carte restaurants Asian Fusion and their Rodizio Grill was excellent. The beach area is vast, very walkable, and very pretty with lots of palm trees
The staff! The entire entertainment crew was absolutely amazing!! I could name all of them and truly mean they did good. Bubaloo, Jose, Nicky Minaj, Alexis, and the other girls were the most welcoming and sweetest people
Having access to 4 large and very nice pool areas was great. The room was okay but the room cleaning staff was excellent. The food at the buffets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner had a wide variety of options
The resort was clean, inviting, and quite a hidden gem of Bahia Principe properties. The staff at this resort were friendly, several spoke English, and most were knowledgable
We stayed at El Beso at Ocean El Faro and overall had a good experience. The resort is very large and offers a lot to do, with a fantastic entertainment team that really makes the atmosphere fun and lively
The rooms were scrubbed daily, floors mopped and all requests followed as asked - Very clean!
The staff and their service is what stood out the most - in the best way possible
It doesn't end there ; Ramon at Bluemoon has service that you could put up against anybody in the world ; Naomi at the pool bar made sure the drinks were never empty, all whilst keeping the energy up and having a smile - no matter the weather! All of the F&B staff were amazing and we didn't have a single bad experience
That said, the room could definitely use some renovation. We didn’t have the hanging chair shown in the photos, one of the sinks was leaking, and the USB charger didn’t work
The Blue team at the pool was excellent and kept things energetic and fun throughout the day. The pool area itself was enjoyable, though it could have been cleaner at times
We stayed during NYE in a Junior Suite with a rooftop, and the room itself was spacious. The AC system and ceiling fan worked very well, which was much appreciated
Stay with the buffet to avoid the wait in the other restaurants. Avoid the free shuttle from the airport, you will loose an hour of vacation time
I tried the Italian restaurant which was uninspired and cooked by people who have no idea what Italian food tastes like. The Mexican restaurant was also very forgetful but it was better than the Italian
On a Great Note: The service we received at each restaurant & buffet was wonderful
I had the best time with my huge family! Everyone who works at this resort is so wonderful and accommodating! Aniblaisy from the entertainment team turned my trip from a 10/10 to a 100/10! She was so kind to me every time we spoke! She introduced me to do some activities and I had so much fun every time! Also, a shoutout to housekeeping! Not only was my hotel room the best hotel room I’ve ever stayed...
Super nice resort, regarding some of the drama reviews it's what you make of it. The food is so-so, you can't beat the location as the beach is spectacular. The rooms are nice, staff is great
This place is absolutely beautiful! This is our third time visiting and there are so many reasons to keep coming back! The beach is perfect, well kept and has so many loungers! The pools are great! We loved their restaurants and the buffet is a convenient and delicious back up for every meal
Wonderful place! Wonderful people! Great entertainment! Always something to do every night :) activities during the day and competitions to win free bottles or gifts! Kid friendly as well, 3 restaurants to reserve for, and one on the beach 140$ for two people
We had a very nice stay! Food was amazing, friendly animation team that was taking care of fun nights and we had very lovely waiter in the restaurant
Staff everywhere are just amazing. Room cleaned every day, new towels every day. Beach was clean and nice, had some rocks in the water, but not a big deal. Hotel had lots of trip out choices, so we went for 4 trips
If you want to stay longer?
This is not the best place to go. Everything repeats itself, always the same music and the same food in the restaurant. Which tastes very good, really. Nice employees here, all of them
We spent in that hotel 10 days. Hotel was great, staff helped suitcases to the room and when checked out took them to lobby area. Hotel itself if nice, staff very friendly
Lots of sunbeds at swimming area and beach, beach was just near to swimming pool area. Food was okay, but we understand it as there are lots of tourists to feed. Also we tried other restaurants, they were nice too
The food was another disappointment. While there were plenty of options, the meals were very repetitive, and the quality was just average
It has been a wonderful experience, we came for 4 days and have no regrets so far. The children's kids club has been wonderful and entertaining for the children and there's plenty of adult entertainment as well
The bartenders were friendly and kept the drinks coming. The entertainment was one of our favorite parts, with live music, shows, and lots of daytime activities. But it was also easy for us to find quiet spots to relax
Amazing place to stay, Greeting guests with a smile on their faces, Check in was incredibly easy
made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. They were always available to answer questions
Overall, we felt the resort exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and fun, and the staff goes above and beyond. We would definitely come back!
The beach is stunning with soft white sand and clear water, and there were always plenty of loungers. The pools were also great, with both fun and relaxing areas
My first time in Dom rep. Hotel is great. The staff are excellent. Bar staff are very friendly. David is a great guy, very professional. The pools are beautiful. I would like to come back next year with my family.
On our last day she made a special towel deco for the kids. Pedro at Expedia counter desk was always friendly and kind. He was so helpful that he upgraded our rooms to family suites for privacy and extra space
We enjoyed this resort and the food selection at the buffet was really good. The paella, seafood and soups were our favourites. My family of three (including a toddler) stayed for 6 nights and no complaints
My family of 33 went to this resort early August, it was gorgeous! Sandy at the front desk is the best. She is so patient and provides amazing customer service. And Pedro the server is amazing as well
The rooms are beautiful and room service and cleaning is great. The food is amazing! And we loved the entertainment as well. We felt very safe in the hotel as well
At the beach bar, Jonathan was always smiling and have a great time making the cocktails. We will definitely be back for another family break
