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 beach is beautiful, those bright blue waters that I think everyone wants to see in their life! There are areas in the resort that are louder and more energetic if that's your vibe - for us we wanted to be in quieter areas, and there was space for that
There's a quiet pool for anyone that doesn't want the craziness of the big pool at the front of the resort, and you can walk along the beach and find quiet areas where you can just relax! Everyone is lovely, we have had an amazing time!

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
Same goes to Richard and Jose, who work in the Main Pool Bar, are so great! They were the best bartenders I've met here. Orlando, that works in Market, is so caring for our wellbeing
The employees are all so nice, always ready to serve happily- and in here, I have to say: Scooby (Edward) that works in the Sun Pool, is a incredible person, excepcional charisma
Dining was a highlight throughout our stay. Chef Jolanes impressed with exceptional cuisine, and Felix and Davidson provided impeccable service that elevated every meal
Our butlers, JC and Jose, delivered truly outstanding service — discreet, attentive, and consistently anticipating our needs with professionalism and grace
From the extraordinary staff to the remarkable food and immaculate grounds, this was a refined, memorable experience we will cherish
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.
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 .
so much better than the last place we stayed (see previous reviews) the beach was excellent only wish there where more huts as you have to get up really early to try and get one
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
Punta Cana is beautiful! The resort is very big and has all that anyone could wish. Beach is fabulous! The food is top notch. Service is fantastic! The rooms are clean
Short 10 minute walk to the beach but there is a trolley that comes quite regularly you could hop on. Overall I'd recommend to anyone who's coming out to Punta Cana
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 breakfast buffet at the Aquamarine was probably the best, and we tried a few different ones. The pool is always jumping with live entertainment and there are no kids running around

Bavaro Beach - 5 min
The beach is amazing, it’s in the top 5 best beaches in the world, everyone in the hotel staff works very hard to make your stay pleasant, worry free and enjoyable
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
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
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
Keila Rijo from the Entertainment team is an absolute LEGEND. From day one she brought nonstop energy, genuine warmth, and that rare vibe that instantly makes you feel like you belong at the resort
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!

Playa Arena Gorda - 4 min
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
We stayed away from the salad bar, drank bottled water, beer and wine only. The pool and beach were close together and that is just wonderful
Perfect for relaxing, long walks, and spending the whole day by the ocean. The location is excellent and the resort feels comfortable to move around
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)
The buffet was noticeably less, than every other day we were there. Definitely will share with friends how awesome this place is
But the rest of the room was great and the bed was so comfortable. The drive from the airport was about 35-40 mins but was really pleasant
Henry (concierge) was awesome as always! Met Shelly with vacations club and she was very helpful and persuasive. Ask for Henry and Shelly! Food was a bit off this time around
Castillo is by far the best bartender we've ever encountered at a resort!
Our butler/concierge Albert was equally amazing. He was attentive, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay
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
Beautiful property! One of the nicest hotels ai’ve stayed at. The food is great, the beverages everything. Beautiful private beach, nice big pools, a great place to relax
The facilities are impeccable; everything is well-maintained, modern, and impeccably clean. The island's natural beauty boasts breathtaking landscapes. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and have high-quality linens
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
Our experience at the resort was excellent. We were very well received and accompanied by ambassador Eddyl, who managed to attend to our group masterfully
The service… needs improvement, the staff is nice but not efficient, most of the times they get your orders wrong at the restaurants
I thought housekeeping was very clean. I notice a big water bug roach on the hallway floors. I put a towel under room 3009 front door to keep any bugs out. Maybe weather striping under door will help
Overall, my stay at the hotel was very pleasant. The staff were extremely kind and attentive, the food was excellent, the pools were spotless, the beach was beautiful, and the gardens were well cared for
Unfortunately, the room did not meet the same standard
It showed signs of poor maintenance, had a damp odor, visible mold in the shower corners, a loose toilet seat, and a leaking sink that required placing a towel on the floor
The changing room doors by the pools are on backwards so everyone can see in but you can't see out. We noticed a downward trend in the RIU hotels in punta cana since we started going there
The room was clean, pool hours were more limited, the equipment in the gym is broken and have been for years. The food was not as good as most other Riu hotels
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
There were plenty of chairs with palm umbrellas in the beach area. Now there was a couple issues that I had on this resort
(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
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
Everyday visits to the concierges in main lobby to try to find an open reservation or an earlier time was a daily pain in the rear. Overall I was happy with my visit to this resort
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
From the start, it was an amazing experience. Jose, our concierge, is the one who made the trip even better with his incredible service
We never had to worry about reservations, and he continuously made sure we knew about all of the activities going on that day
Even on his days off, he was available at any time - I would go back to El Beso just for his service
Overall, I would book this resort again in a heartbeat - it's a shame the trip wasn't even longer
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
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
Awesome beach and Caribbean sea! Good friendly staff. Animation guys are funny and very joyful. Mosquito guy and Jackson are the best guys out there! You can find good food. Big pool.
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
Onery always greeted us with huge smile and provided the best service! I hope to come back soon
100% would come back and not just for the beauty of the resort and the stunning beach vibes but mainly because of the staff who were all so welcoming and attentive to making our stay a memorable one! The food was good, lots of options! Love the activities and entertainment that were held throughout the day! Special shout out to Mango, Marlenis, Powell, La Máquina and Oscar who made our stay one to...
It is a struggle to find some beach towels. There weren't towels in the rooms as well
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
throughout the day and until late night, the food is pretty exquisite also tropical, American variety as well
Very tropical, club level is awesome with a separate club with a bar and breakfast and a private bar at the beach. Top shelf booze at club level, 3 full bottles in the room when you arrive
The staff truly made our experience memorable, everyone we encountered was incredibly polite and attentive. Their warmth and professionalism deserve genuine praise
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
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
The resort was not too busy in September which was nice because we always found a spot on the beach, by the pool, water park and best of all they always had towels
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
Beautiful hotel, the proximity to the beach was good and will be back soon
We have a great time at the Grand Sirenis Punta Cana. The staff was very attentive and helpful. Sheila, our housekeeper, was very sweet, kind and very hard worker. She keep the room clean, tidy and stock up everyday
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.
The beach is very beautiful and the scenery is nice, so I enjoyed my time there during the day
The activities, entertainment, and shows were so much fun. We had the best time during our stay thanks to the entertainment team. Extra thanks to Peluche for taking the time to make sure we enjoyed our stay
We did yoga and zumba on the beach which was fun! We preferred the buffet over the restaurants, as it was pretty much the same food just in a different form
Absolutely loved our stay! The hotel is right on the beach with stunning ocean views, clean and stylish rooms, and friendly staff who made us feel welcome from the start
A real honest review: This resort is really nice if your trying to have a chill week. The rooms are exactly what the photos on the website look like, the food is a huge buffer with a lot of selection
My family will definitely be coming back thanks to the staff and their entertainment. I don’t want to go home! We had so much fun dancing and singing with Peluche and the whole entertainment team
When getting ready to leave, you can ask for the bellboys to get the baggage with you back to the lobby in one of the golf cars that they use to move around
People working there were always very helpful whenever assistance was needed. Food was tasty, and the room we booked (suite with swim out) was awesome
The place is very big, so be aware that there will be quite a bit of walking to get to the lobby (where most restaurants are)
Estalin was great and made sure our stay was comfortable and great.
When we were leaving, the baby lost the bracelet because her hands are too small for it. She forced us to pay $50 for it. She told us that she won't check us out until we paid the money
When we were coming in, the lady at the front desk named "Claudia" put a bracelet key in my baby's hand even though they knew that the baby is not going to open the door
Great first trip to this resort. Check in took awhile as the room was not ready when we arrived, but they sent us to go get drinks/ food at the beach. Love the long pools as it spread out guests
100% recommendable! The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, always smiling. They even gave us a complimentary late check-out because our flight was very late. A big thank you to all the staff.
Always had a pick of sun loungers! Food at the buffets were good and lots of options especially for vegetarians ( which is usually hard to find at these resorts)
Excellent! A wonderful beachfront location with very attentive service from all the staff. The facilities are fantastic, and the room was very nice and spacious
Plus, since it's not a very large resort, you can easily walk to all the facilities and the various restaurants. The food was very good, with a wide variety and different themed options
The only downside was the quality of the cocktails, which were quite poor, as almost all of them were made with artificial ingredients and didn't taste good
Great little spots along the pool to eat and drink so you don’t have to go far. We will be back with our kids next time. I am so happy we came here! Thank you all!
The excellent service and quality of their hotel facilities. As well the quite and peaceful in the pool or beach area. The restaurants were also amazing with a great varity.
This was my first trip, my first resort and my first time outside of Canada. I am so happy, this resort was so amazing
Friendly staff, energetic and actually loved their jobs (or are good at faking it haha) The food was amazing and no shortage of it! Drinks were great and very fast service. The pool is perfect for kids and adults
The biggest one was that the toilet ran constantly during our stay, which was a little frustrating and made the room feel less polished than expected. The food was one of the more disappointing parts of the stay
We used the Privilege pool and the 2 attendants, Carlos and Daniel, were superb! There were plenty of towels and both Carlos and Daniel made sure we always had plenty of drinks and food! I recommend if you want pool chairs with umbrellas, you need to get them early as most are taken by 9:00 AM and only chairs without umbrellas are left
Additionally if you have a medical condition making it difficult to navigate stairs, please note that there are no elevators in the buildings so you may want to ask for a room on the ground floor (we did this at the time we made our reservation and the staff was great in accommodating the request)
The service at all the restaurants was great!! All of the bar service was great, with some of the bars serving top shelf liquor!!
If you are a beach person and would like a cabana or chairs with an umbrella you will need to be out on the beach early as most are taken by 8:00 AM or earlier
From the moment we arrived, the staff made our experience unforgettable. Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help
Other members of our family ate at the Mexican restaurant and Route 66 and said the food was ok. No one in our group ate at the steak house as the steaks we like had a up charge of $50 to $100 per person
The Privilege buildings are #’s 6 and 10. When checking into the resort please let the bell staff know you are staying in a Privilege room as Privilege has a separate check in area
This this is only my second time out of the country and my first time in Punta Cana and 1st all inclusive. My experience has been great so far. The room was great tho I wish I would have sprung for the beach view
My view is still great but nothing beats a beach view. The give you a glass of champagne when you arrive. There was a bottle of champagne waiting for me in my room
The resort truly lives up to its name, providing an experience of pure luxury and relaxation. What really made my trip special, beyond the stunning facilities and beautiful grounds, was the incredible service
His excellent service and warm personality made every visit to the Blue Bar a highlight. Excellence El Carmen offers a truly exceptional experience, and I can't recommend it highly enough
I’ve only tried 2 restaurants here so far but what I’ve tried at Oregano and The Grill has been decent. Wish I would’ve come with someone but Overall I will be coming back
My recent visit to Excellence El Carmen was absolutely phenomenal, exceeding all expectations! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that everything here is top-notch
