Best Hotels in Punta Cana

Overall, Impressive Punta Cana is a good hotel. The rooms were clean, the organization around the resort was nice, and the beach was amazing — definitely one of the best parts of the stay

The hotel grounds are well maintained, and the staff was generally friendly and polite. Plus the activities are very good! The biggest negative point was transportation, especially to and from the airport

I believe that is due to the fact that they allow people to upgrade when they arrive and don’t prioritize those that have these rooms already booked

Our stay was ok, only issue we had was them not having our room we booked available on checkin

All the drinks are exceptional for an all inclusive hotel (I’ve stayed in all inclusive and they’ve always been really crappy) but these ones are nice, they do slushy pina coladas and daiquiris and whole menu of inclusive cocktails, rums, tequilas, gin and tonic and so on

The pools are great, warm and they have activities in the pool to keep you entertained during the day. Though the floor is very crumbly and paint chipped everywhere but doesn’t ruin the overall experience of the pool

The nightly shows were very entertaining - like having our own Coco Bongo experiences! They have an entire team dedicated to entertaining the guests with games and parties, so much to do! The food was fantastic - 5 restaurants to choose from and we never had the same thing for dinner twice! Can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful experience for a family vacation. Teppanyaki at Ma+Suri, and Le Gourmet are the best restaurants here. The buffet food is average, nothing phenomenal, but nearly on par with any buffet back in the states

The towel cabana worker is a bit of a grouch, but it is easily made up for by the service of Edwin and Yohanny (two of the bartenders). Can't state my appreciation for those two enough

And the Gourmet was EXCEPTIONAL!! As I don't eat breakfast, they treated my husband with kindness everyday. They also decorated our table with flowers each time we came for dinner

As we were checking out, we were given fliers, requesting we give the resort 4 stars or higher on each category, and the workers strongly push for us to leave Google reviews

I recommend getting the buffet items they cook in front of you. The other items tend to sit out for a hot minute. 90% of the staff was beyond friendly and courteous

Honestly, I would like to give more positive feedback and review but I had better experience in 3 or 4 stars hotels around the world

Some waiters at the Poseidon buffet treated us reluctantly, quite the opposite of Domingo who was always attentive and with a good smile, the guys at the pool bar at the palace and the Secret are 100%, as for the room we had cockroaches in bed, bathrooms were regularly clean, otherwise good

Majority of staff do not speak (or don't want to) basic English, so if you don't speak Spanish - you better find other place

A fantastic week to celebrate my daughter’s wedding. Julisa was incredibly helpful in keeping things organized even when we had to move venues last minute. The entire resort staff were friendly and very helpful

The pool bar on the swimming pools are a must, you can enjoy having a drink while swimming. Ronald and Adrian, the guys there, are great Ambassadors of DR, telling us about the traditions

Your vacation will turn into a staycation had so much fun drinks are great but I can't thing of anything more right now lol

Had a very good stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, the food is delicious, and the entertainment was really well done. The staff were generally friendly, although some could be a bit more attentive

The food was amazing (only tried Food market, beach house and the sports bar for food) I didn’t even feel like trying the restaurants because Foodmarket was that good in my opinion

The facility was good but the service was sometimes slow and needed to wait for a long time.

Property was great with a beautiful beach. Food was meh but very passable

I felt like I was in paradise!! I enjoyed my stay so so much

Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I recommend this hotel

We stayed in the Reserve, went to the beach reserve and Martin was fantastic! Every morning heading down to the beach, he made sure we had an amazing view of the ocean and had the drinks coming! I would definitely ask for Martin when at the Reserve Beach! Irvin was our concierge, he was also just as amazing! Super relaxing hotel, nightly entertainment that was relaxed and fun!

Our stay at Paradisus Palma Real was truly exceptional and far beyond our expectations. From the moment we arrived, every single employee stood out as professional, and incredibly helpful

Paradisus by far had the best kept stretch, and the largest seating area. Our beachfront room on the reserve side was beautiful and our son’s room over the main pool was freshly updated and beautiful

The room cleaning service did an outstanding job every single day, keeping everything perfectly clean and comfortable. The staff in the restaurants and buffets were excellent as well

Clean everywhere but the best part of my stay was the attention of the bartenders. Unfortunately, i cant mention their names, but I will be sure to send an email so they get the credit they deserve

Staff was amazing and accommodating. Antonio was our concierge and helped us throughout the whole trip providing anything we needed and extra excursions at a really good price

Over all the resort was great! The food was good! Customer Service was outstanding! The only thing the WiFi wasn’t that great. The Riu party was lit we definitely had a time! I would definitely stay again!

Love it! Nice Resort! Food is good and much variety, nice pools and beach, 5 of 5 star I’ll be back soon

The hotel grounds beach pool were beautiful, the rooms were average, beds not that comfortable, low grade finishes in bathrooms and rooms, the restaurants were average, but the food buffet (breakfast dinner) was excellent with plenty of variety

It was OK. The food could’ve been better and I definitely came back sick because the water was not good.

New years eve Party was family friendly and a 10! Very fun and lively and free for guests. Scuba caribe snorkelling was great

The hotel was overall okay, but unfortunately it is clearly starting to show its age. I have been staying at Riu Palace Punta Cana for several years, and this was the first time I truly noticed a decline

The rooms could use some updates and remodeling but the friendly staff, sense of security, beautiful grounds, beach access, peaceful ambiance, fun entertainment and yummy food make it all well worth a visit! My family had to leave the resort we originally booked at because it was unsafe, dirty and absolutely horrible

Thankfully Jewel had vacancies on such short notice and we were able to book a room the very same day for the rest of our trip. We met guests that had stayed there before

But if you just love floating in the pool and drink and eat good food go here. The staff is super friendly and the resort is just gorgeous can't explain. I hope mother nature does her part and cleans the beach

Jewel palm beach must have the friendliest staff in all of Punta Cana! As soon as you arrive, the security verifies our booking at the front gate

Then as you drive up to the lobby entrance, the men that help you with your luggage greet you with smiles and warmth. The same friendly energy is felt all throughout the resort

Evening entertainment is captivating. Sports competition is fun way to intermingle with other people. Best part is 24 hr coffee shop with good snacks

Other than that, most staff were very friendly, as a woman i noticed I was treated poorly by some women staff while my husband had no issues at all

Honestly, I had the time of my life in Catalonia at first we were not crazy about the hotel or the food, but we got upgraded and privilege and it changed everything for us

Absolutely amazing high recommend it had everything you needed right on the resort without a doubt I will be returning back

Had some issues with the room that have definitely been issues for more than just our stay, whether the were brought up before and ignored or just over looked, these issues should definitely be resolved asap

Dining: Buffet options were somewhat limited, with a heavy focus on pork and fish. If you don’t eat pork, your choices may feel restricted, and steak or other meat dishes were rare. That said, the food was tasty overall

Beach & Grounds: The beach was stunning, with plenty of shaded areas and loungers. It never felt crowded, and the ground crew was up early each morning cleaning the sargassum, which kept the shoreline pristine

Good stay if on a budget & want to get away, service was friendly, sometimes a bit slow; room was clean upon arrival but during our stay it could have been better stocked in the bathroom, grounds, pool, and beach all very clean; bar staff below La Mexicana were Espectacular( Manuela & José (?); he’s been there 10years!) Main buffet was good- you must make a dinner reservation for all other restaurants...

The balcony was perfect, the bar was excellent. Most of all the staff was great like always. Julia Polanco provided us with an outstanding customer service. She kept us informed and she treated us like if we were family

The hotel is more on the older side however they do a good job to maintain the the grounds clean and offer great amenities like towels, entertainment and food. The restrooms need a little more attention

Because I’m an ******* platinum member we had the best concierge Juan Carlos. He helped us every day and made our very affordable vacation feel 5 star. He spoiled us and took care of our every need

The grounds, beach, and pools were well maintained and beautiful. Food was good and alot of variety at the buffet

How helpful all staff members were to me. I felt like a queen! Especially the customer service staff member Farode, my butler Carlos and the beautiful bar staff at the bar right there at the customer service center

They really have the patience of saints! They made the pool bars fun and made excellent drinks! Kelvin at the bar in the theater was THE SWEETEST! He was very friendly, had the best smile and always had our drinks ready for us

He even checked to make sure we got home safely. I would recommend him 1000 times again! Jency! He looked for us every morning for breakfast and we were lucky enough to have him as our waiter for dinner a few times

This would be our first time in Punta Cana and all inclusive. Looking for something all inclusive and adults only. After looking at different resorts, reviews and even YouTube videos

We were looking to get away for some sun and relaxation. We started looking at different areas and some friends have visited Punta Cana in the past and just recently

He made us feel truly special and it was so nice meeting him. We will look for him every time we go! Luis, Jimy and Charley at the adult pool bars were phenomenal

We came for the beautiful property and will continue to come for the wonderful staff that makes you feel like family

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)

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.

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

I don't remember the name of the person at the reception who changed our hotel but we'd still like to thank him. It's also worth mentioning the drinks at the bars, which were of excellent quality and the very clean pools

The best resort I've ever stayed at!!! I booked the Majestic Elegance but at the reception I was given an upgrade while staying at the Majestic Mirage, simply SENSATIONAL

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

the staff was excellent - curteous and attentive to our needs. The room was beautiful and always kept clean. lots of delicious options and flexible to my famiy's dietary restrictions. Overall, the resort was wonderful

The grounds, the rooms, the beach… everything was stunning and so clean. The food was some of the best I’ve ever had on vacation — fresh, flavorful, and consistently amazing no matter where we ate

I just had the most incredible vacation in the Dominican Republic and I genuinely cannot say enough good things

The property was absolutely beautiful — pristine, thoughtfully maintained, and spotless everywhere you looked. You can tell there’s real care put into every detail

Every meal felt like a highlight. But the true magic of this place is the staff. The warmth, attentiveness, and genuine kindness made the experience unforgettable

And to the wonderful ladies who helped with reservations (I wish I could name you all!) — you were so gracious and accommodating

Osias also made sure i got everything i needed and always stopped at the table to check on me. Stephanie and Angela are a good hostesses always trying to help everyone find a good table

We had a great stay at Grand Palladium Select Bávaro in Punta Cana. The resort is beautiful, the beach is amazing, and there’s lots to do. The service was excellent throughout our stay

One staff member in particular, Luisito, really stood out. He was always friendly, helpful, and made sure everything went smoothly for us calling us his Canadian family

He helped arrange transportation and was always checking in to see if we needed anything. Luisito also had a fun little greeting he would do when he saw us a cheerful “cucú!” which always made us smile

He always made sure our room was perfectly clean and tidy, and he did his work absolutely spotless every single day. He was especially wonderful with our children — always friendly, warm, and playful

Thank you Sopita for dancing with me and making me laugh. The rooms was also excellent clean, and always had the fridge stocked for us. The food was delicious always lots of variety to choose from

The only downside was room service food was not good and not enough breakfast options, just one buffet and we felt the food there was always cold. All other restaurants for lunch & dinner were awesome

Awesome experience here, smaller resort compared to others but it dosent feel small. Great beach location and excellent staff

The room was good size and the bed was very comfortable and a fully stocked bar and fridge. The cleaning service came twice a day once in the morning then mid afternoon they did a great job

Great drinks!! We stayed in the Tierra suite and it was amazing, private pool and beach front. Our mayordomo was awesome, David C. & Angelo at the beach service was amazing as well

After COVID, we finally returned to celebrate my birthday and decided to stay at Live Aqua and it was a wonderful experience. The resort is beautiful and very clean, and the weather during our stay was perfect

A special shout-out to Delvin, the manager of the pool area, whom we’ve known for many years from our previous visits to Dreams. Seeing him again made the trip even more special

Not only does the entertainment team work their butts off on stage, but they run around running activities throughout the day, with enthusiasm, while also having a bit of time to stop and say hello; a fist bump or a high five with a big smile

com provided amazing customer service when I needed to make changes to the guest name on my reservation prior to my arrival, they went above and beyond to make this happen

This is our second year in a row visiting and I think we’ll be back next year. Kids love it and the second year was even better, we easily acclimated and jumped right in with an excursion in buggies, second day there

Whether this is a Dominican thing or Hyatt is using fantastic motivating rewards, I’m not sure, but these people work really really hard and the majority genuinely want your stay to be amazing

This would be a great resort for families, there are kid friendly pools and activities each day. We took advantage of the spa and it was beautiful and relaxing, highly recommended

Shout out to Victor OG, Baby Face and Johnny Bravo to name a few. The two ladies working the drinks by the preferred pool closest to the buffet, amazing little team

Martine and Ana at the spa are absolutely wonderful. Orlando was always there to ensure we had the best excursions planned while staying safe

He knew the menu well, gave excellent recommendations, and checked in at just the right times without ever feeling intrusive

Maximo was wonderful at Quimera restaurant was helpful and attentive the entire experience! The rooms and the facilities were cleaned constantly and housekeeping did more than could be expected

What a beautiful place with great people. Alejandro upon arrival set the tone for a great stay. Ricardo always at the pool serving drinks to The Level guests creating a special experience

We had a great experience at this restaurant, and a big part of that was thanks to our server, Ronny. From the moment we were seated, he was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming

And Octavio in Mar y Sal was the definition of a professional. He was attentive, polished, and genuinely welcoming. Overall, great experience and beautiful environment!

Doors open up the bathroom to the main room and it’s open and airy or you can keep it private and cozy

Breakfast was excellent, dinner restaurant for everyone choice and good quality The service staff friendly and eager to help

Room was clean. Property nicely maintained. Breakfast buffet was good. Lunch and dinner was OK. 24 hour cafe was very nice. Room service was good. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

I’ve never been to an all-inclusive where I’ve actually lost weight before the only restaurant that we’ve found so far where we can find anything that’s reasonably well done is at the steakhouse

The room, just a king with ocean view was so comfortable. Very very clean! Comfy bed, great balcony, The bathroom was GREAT! Jacuzzi tub separate toilet

When we left we were told they provided transportation, we had to pay the driver because he said that was not something the resort does. I felt very mislead and upset by the management

Amazing stay with great activities! I did the coconut palm hat and bowl making and it was so much fun! Great guy who taught us and was really patient! Also beautiful end product, great as souvenire as well! Breakfast, lunch and dinner were excellent at Quimera restaurant, we ate there almost every day! Maximo Mendoza, our waiter at the restaurant was always so kind and smiling, did great service

The staff here are the reason why people love this place. The customer service is exceptional. The nicest and happiest people I’ve ever met. Alejandro Soriano are the best bartenders and honestly such great human beings

Yadenny from the entertainment team invited me to play volleyball and I had a lot of fun. She made my brother and me laugh a lot. Without a doubt, a good experience. Rafal Nadal Pickleball was fun too

Drinks were made perfectly—especially the mojito, which was one of the best I’ve had. Service was quick without feeling rushed, and the team clearly takes pride in what they do

They made me and my best friend feel so welcome

All the cart service men were great too. Made sure to take us back and forth safely to our rooms and lobby. DJ Carlos played great music and could spin. The cleaning staff work so hard to make the rooms look clean

The food is incredibly great both in the buffet and the specialty restaurants, and you do not have to make a reservation except for Fusion. The entertainment at night in the open area is different every night

Beautiful pools , plants and great restaurants. Beach was great with plenty of things to do. Great entertainment every night along with pool parties and DJ during the day. Minimal kids staying while we were here

If your thinking of staying at secrets next door it is very big and open and for a much older crowd. People 65 plus sleeping and snoring by the pool without the music and pool fun atmosphere

View of coconut trees and some flowers, but faced the service road where the workers travel and many trucks and delivery vehicles. The staff was 50/50 in terms of service

Wet walkways, narrow paths to navigate the pool area by the beach, long lines at dinner time, rowdy Spring breakers, all made me feel a bit overwhelmed (I’m 75)

I’d highly recommend the Dominican show on Thursday night. They are truly proud of their country and very talented. Lots of families at this resort and babies

He even helped organize a surprise for my boyfriend whose birthday was the day after our arrival which was so appreciated!! I also want to mention that the staff at the private priority member pool on the beach was amazing! They were so attentive and made sure that I never spent a moment without a drink in my hand lol

We booked the priority member Junior suite with the private pool and everything was perfect! The room was very clean with a beautiful/clean private pool and had a breathtaking view of the garden and two of the pools on the grounds

Our butler, Irving, was so amazing!! He was very attentive, knowledgeable and welcoming. He sent us daily itineraries for the resort activities and always made sure that we had everything we needed

Every thing and everyone one was perfect kind and professional at all times. The treatment was like I was from the Royal family. Especially our private Butler Brian and the desk clerk Leonardo

Sammy at the inside bar was our absolute favorite! You will not regret staying at this resort. We had an amazing vacation and will definitely be back very soon!

they especially made our visit full like hime
