Where to stay in Punta Cana

The hotel has a great location, close to the beach , shops , restaurants . The rooms are fairly clean, but several things need repair, such as the ceiling, showers, and hairdryers. The staff speak little or no English, which can make communication difficult. Breakfast is okay, but nothing special. Overall, it’s a decent option mainly because of its location.

Staff are amazing there and so helpful .The room and balcony were lovely and you couldn't fault that. The only problem for us was that we thought we were booking their sister hotel of the similar name at the seaside but we got round that by being based at the beach in the day and even had breakfast there as the two hotels were very flexible. We were given blankets to use instead of towels which was...

Room was large, hotel is overall tidy. Generally the furniture is on the older side but at this price range it does exactly what I expected it to. Great location near the beach too, however if you plan to chill in your room during the day, there's a busy road right under the windows and it gets very loud. It gets quieter after sunset.

Staff was helpful. I was given a room that had not been cleaned and the staff immediately fixed the situation. However the next room and a mold smell and the AC was not working. I asked to be moved the following morning to another room with AC and was told maintenance would come and repair and there was no need to move. I waited 2-3 hours and maintenance never arrived so I did not stay additional...

Exceptional Service from Gregory at the Front Desk!!! I had an amazing experience thanks to Gregory at the front desk! From the moment I arrived, he was incredibly welcoming, professional, and attentive. He went out of his way to make sure everything was smooth — from check-in to helping with local recommendations around El Cortecito. Gregory always greeted me with a smile and genuine kindness, which...

This hotel is a great value for the price. The room was clean, air conditioning worked great, and a nice breakfast and coffee is included. The staff were all friendly and I felt safe staying there. Bavaro Beach is a short walk away. It was perfect for a quick overnight stay.

Little hidden Gem. Excelent staff, clean rooms and good location.

It was a great experience. The managers are very kind, and that makes us consider them as an option when we travel through the eastern region again.

Jorge was amazing host. I would highly recommend this place.

Very good service. I went to pick up a client as a tour company, and they offered me coffee. I was allowed to use their bathroom. I recommend it 101,102 times! The coffee was very good, and the bathroom was super clean and tidy. Our client also said he liked it a lot.

Great welcome and helpfulness from all the staff, small room with few pretensions but absolutely clean. We spent there only one night but we had a good time. We were able to leave the car for a day without any problem.

The hotel itself has a beautiful Colombian coffee-bar style. Everything is clean and beautiful, but the best thing about this place is the people! Angelica and her husband are incredibly kind, friendly, attentive, and very nice people. And we loved the little dogs! Overall, it's a great place (close to the beach) to not only get to know the country authentically, but also to meet good people and make...

No access yo brach All resorts locked up to outsiders. Friendly staff uou need to rent a car if you stay there Need a major restoration

Quiet out of the way. Will need car. Oudated rooms very basic

Nice cozy affordable place to rest your head for the night.

Rooms are okay, but the service makes up for it. A very nice off grid stay, but yet, you're 2 miles from the center of restaurants and all the noise you want. Surprisingly enough, there is a cigar factory not even 42 walking steps to the right of them, so if you need smokes, don't worry about it, they have tours too. However, just so happen I had already booked my tour at Don Lucas. The pool here...

The property needs repairs and upgrades

I had a nice quiet stay at this hotel. Most times it felt like it was just me which was quite relaxing. The restaurant on site also had some good options. There’s not much around the area, so uber or having your own car will come in handy. The staff were very kind and easy to talk to. Unfortunately, my room wasn’t checked up on or maintained as much as I would have liked. I did go to the city for a...

Bella Vida Hotel was a great stay. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout, and the location was a big plus. It is less than a five minute walk to the beach, and there are plenty of great stores and food options nearby. Overall, it was a convenient, comfortable place to stay and I would definitely stay here again

We had an amazing stay at this hotel! It's perfectly located just a short walk from the beach, which was super convenient for us. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, and the hotel overall had a fresh and clean feel. The staff was welcoming and helpful, making us feel right at home. Thank you for offering to us a great stay 😊

Very nice location and staff are very helpful. Not all of them speak English but they’re very helpful with the help of Google translate you can communicate. The cleanliness standard isn’t excellent but to a fair standard. Bed super comfy and I had complimentary water in the fridge which was much appreciated. I’ve seen other reviews mention that there’s a swimming pool but the reception staff told me...

Bella Vida Hotel is a great place to stay. The cost is very affordable and includes free wifi and breakfast daily. The rooms have a private balcony and the roof top has an amazing view all around. Breakfast was brought to our room between 9 and 9:30 each morning allowing us to enjoy eating on the balcony or in the small kitchenette. The staff is very friendly and anytime we needed ice or more toiletries...

Excellent services, beach, supermarkets and restaurant nearby, super clean, and the attentions of its employees very good, mainly Mr. Rafael de la Cruz, very attentive at all times. If you want a quiet and pleasant place, they can visit it.

Space. Áncora in progress but soon with an integrated kitchen and bar on the roof with jacuzzi. In the evening atmósfera already understandable ...

I can say Nothing just the experience it was so good and amazing everything cleaned pool was great so relax I’m gonna give a 5 Stars to the Marimba Hotel Thanks You!!

Very well located, in the centre close to shops and restaurants, very friendly staff, basic but included breakfast, large room with plenty of space.

Cash only; there's an ATM in the hotel lobby with ridiculously high transaction fees.

It is OK to spend a night.  Breakfast is not continental, everyday the same.  Internet was not good. TV with no Chanel.  lol.    Language only Spanish.  Towels was soap smelled.

About 20 kilometers from the airport. The room is of medium size but the mattress is too soft. Breakfast is two slices of bread and scrambled eggs!

The hotel is quite good when compared with hotels in this price category. With security and a barrier, hot water, drinking water in the lobby. Breakfast is modest, scrambled eggs and toast.

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.

The beach is impossible to get to. There are huge hotels on the road that don't allow people to cross their property. I had to walk halfway around town or take a taxi. There was no hot water, apparently they were renovating something. The water in the pool was cloudy with rust. The breakfast was disgusting 🤮 The only positive is the low price. I recommend paying extra and staying somewhere decent!

Nice place. property put a little bit wrong location. with is ok for Dominican Republic). It is not so close to the beach as on the map. it is 30 min walking or 8 min drive which is not bad. staff is good , location is the best for night life which is I was looking for. I give them 5 stars. Probably this place not for the family or individual who looking for luxury stay.

It was okay they can do better the doors dont lock right and no warm water

Bedroom 101 had close but you couldn't put your clothes in there. Not prepared for it at all. Bathroom floor kept wet at all times because water is coming up?? TV not useful. Had cable message on screen asking to call to get fix????? Restaurants, there is one right next door. And some others as well. They all very over price. Well, I am Dominican and I know punta cana is known to be just for tourist...

Good hotel for the price, excellent value for money

Decent for the price If you want to stay somewhat near the beach but not pay for a big resort, it's a decent place. Not best for families as there are two clubs next door playing loud music until late at night, but overall good for the lrice

Big apartment but empty with some rooms that are not even finished. Comfortable beds. Big kitchen but not even a single tea or coffee bag. Lot of noise from the outside and some windows cant be closed fully.

Feels lime after renovation! Both room and decor was fresh and brand new. Pool view is amazing! Beach is just few steps and they show you personal umbrella and loungers. There are 4 bars on the beach, so many options for drinks and food. In resort territory there are 5 restaurants but better options if walkin the town. I can recommend Trebol restaurant.

There was no facility to put soap or shampoo in the bathroom, the battery in the TV remote control ended its life and emitted acid, the sink's tap in the bathroom was out of order, it was stuck on very hot water, without pissibility to adjust the temperature of the water. The air conditioner didn't function in one of the two bedrooms

They did not clean the place at all. And master bed 🛌room bathroom sink was broken. And we had to mop the floor every day and the water 💧was ⚫◼⬛. And the dishes was not clean at all

The pool is great, short walk to beautiful beach. No hot water on the island

Great place to visit. Go to the waterfalls and make sure you take the horse. It's a heck of a walk. Up and down hills

What a great place for the price. It is a ways from the resorts and downtown Punta Cana but not hard to get a taxi at all. If you want a taste of the local lifestyle this is definitely the place you should stay. Less than 5 mins to Ole supermarket (which is kind of a Walmart) with a fully equipped kitchen. Even if I was going resorting I would stay for a couple days here just to understand how middle...

It was good for me , thank you

The property needs a repair update

It is NOT anywhere near the beaches.

I found this property and the people that worked there very nice. I enjoyed my stay.

We had 2 bookings. In our first booking we stayed on the first floor. The apartment was infested with roaches. I complained and they wanted to move us to the 2nd or 3rd floor, I told her that there wasn't any need because we were checking out the following day to go to a different hotel that we had reserved for 5 days and then come back and do two more days at Bavaro Green. When we come back for our...

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

The rooms are beautiful and very clean spot on and the pool is amazing with pool bars absolutely awesome!. Even has fridge with pop and water included and enough hangers to hang our shirts on. No problem with the safe which is great.

Very spacious rooms. Be ready for humidity its an Island.

Excellent place to stay, quite area, beautiful and ample apartments. A+ attention by the staff members.

It was a pleasant stay. The apartment was comfortable and the people in charge are nice and diligent.

Excelent place to stay, good price and all clean and safe.

The apartment has all for good standing, is close to the arena Blanca beach, the beautiful landscapes

Very safe and clean place to stay that is in a gated community. we could easily walk to a big grocery store to pick up supplies for the trip. Great first night stop. Beautiful grounds you feel like you are in an old Villa. Air conditioning works well, beds are okay and small. Great value and location for the price.

Cozy little place. Good plentiful breakfast. Quite calm garden. Great value for money, we went for one night and got everything that we needed.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The staff is incredibly kind—it’s the first time I’ve been treated with such care in a hotel. The location is okay; I traveled alone, and taking an Uber to the beach every day cost me around €13-15 round trip. However, this is more than compensated by the hotel’s attractive pricing. There’s a supermarket nearby, along with several small restaurants, which is very...

Still Amazing Sill amazing, quiet small city experience I always like.

Clean quite place to stay. Access to food and shopping. Beach is nearby alone with many other activities. I recommend this apartment and will return.

The staff was friendly and welcoming. The living facility was quiet and very comfortable. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants to get away from big hotels and resorts with tons of people.

Noise levels were high due to the construction outside and all the cars driving by at all hours of the night. It wouldn’t be too bad but they have a speed bump right in front of the hotel so people naturally would floor it afterward causing a ton of noise. Wouldn’t recommend if you like sleeping but it is cheap!

After our British Airways flight delayed by 22 hours, and we were left stranded at punta cana airport at 2.30am, our friends here at Costa Love hotel allowed us to check in at 3am for the night, so we didn't have to sleep on the airport floor! - hugely grateful for the team for being so accommodating! Great hosts, cold water on arrival and free WiFi throughout. Short drive from the airport and our...

We stayed at Hotel coastal love in Punta Cana the last night we were in Punta Cana. It was an older hotel amenities were great. The man greeted my great nephews with a bar pizza. I have never seen that much care for clientele that he had never met in my entire life and I’m 75 I would give them a 5.0 on the scale of just being tremendous human

Close to the airport. Rooms are average, the area is quite noisy. For a stopover it is more than ok. Hotel stuff is very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast ok too.

This is a small clean and affordable hotel... for the price I paid i really can't complain... staff is great, rooms are clean. I read about the noise, and there is a lot of noise, but I did not find it unbearable....all in all, I would recommend it, at least for a couple nights....

I would like to thank the owner and other workers for the warm welcome and help with everything we needed. I definitely recommend this hotel to everyone. We were very satisfied.

Good location and good price. It’s only 4 mins walking from the beach. The hosts are nice and the place is very clean. Yes, it’s more quiet and has more rules compared to backpacker hostels, but it’s good if you don’t like noisy and messy hostels.

Perfect location, feels like a home. Perfect hosts. I stayed here for almost 8 days. Really satisfied. Andrew and Valentino are like parents to people who stay there. They arranged some tours and gave us some information. You can easily access to the beach and restuarant or market to buy groceries

GAVA is amazing!! I went by myself and brought my husband back a year later. It is affordable and they are extremely accommodating. When other arrangements fell through they allowed us to come on short notice as well as another guest. It is a small quieter hostel (which I loved). We were able to cook, and we made a family dinner for everyone and enjoyed chatting with folks we just met. If you are looking...

I had one of the best experiences during my stay at Hostel Gava in Punta Cana. The place was clean, calm, and respectful, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing vacation. A special thanks to Andrey & Valentina, who was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. I highly recommend Hostel Gava and will definitely return for my next vacation!

GAVA Hostel is an excellent stay for solo travelers in Punta Cana 🎒 It is located right at the beach and in walking distance to the supermarket and restaurants. Since the hostel is in Andrey and Valentina's home, some rules make it a very cozy and clean space. Both hosts are lovely and will help you book tours, find the bus station, or answer any other questions. I immediately felt at home and would...

This was a great location at the heart of Punta Cana, within a walking distance to the beach. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Valentine was extremely accommodating to our needs. We also ended up making new friends by the end of our stay!

Our deluxe king was basic. The beds very comfortable. Jacuzzi tub on terrace. 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. Some obviously enjoyed their work snd others rather indifferent. Everyone works very hard and are efficient. The food is incredibly great both in the...

Great experience all around. 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...

Have been to this property many times over the years and have always enjoyed it. This time the experience was lacking a little bit. They told us on arrival that they were full and that was very obvious (we never received our welcome drink). There was constant empty glasses and litter lying around, they ran out of towels and service was just lacking. It was very disappointing as this is a resort we...

The staff was very accommodating with everything, and always with a smile. The pool activities were always fun and entertaining. The food was great although we are always very happy with the buffets. There is such a selection to choose from. Our concierge Emmanuel Morillo checked on us every day to make sure we were happy as he did last year when we stayed. The beaches were kept clean and, you could...

The resort is amazing. Food was very good, not great but you will not go hungry. Everything was great EXCEPT for a very high pressure sales pitch to get you to spend 14k on a Hyatt Travelers Club Membership. They offer coupons and a free message and "take you to breakfast". After breakfast they "show you around the rsort". After being passed off from 1 salesman to the next and multiple package offers...

Spotless room. The staff was OUTSTANDING and the FRIENDLIEST and most helpful staff we have ever experienced. Hotel grounds and pools stunning.

Clean and well maintained facilities. Good location near restaurants and supermarket

Friendly owner, nice terrace, close to the beach, good value for money

Boris is so kind and helpful...tnx again

Excellent hostello near the public beach and various supermarkets and restaurants where you can enjoy some local and even international cuisine to vary from the standardization of the resorts. Excellent cleaning, friendly owners and willing to fulfill any request. There is also a well-stocked kitchen where you can prepare any dish yourself. I would like to underline that when I left the room definitively...

Good place to stay, Boris is very friendly, he helps you with excursions, he is very diligent, the sunset from the terrace is beautiful, beach 10 minutes walk. recommended!

Very good service, and very attentive to customers, I felt very comfortable during my stay and in front you have the beach and a good view.
