Majestic Mirage Punta Cana, All Suites – All Inclusive

Bavaro Bavaro|0.67km from Arena Gorda Beach
It has been a month since my wife and I stayed the the Majestic Mirage, and figured it was finally time to write my review. Getting into the DR was flawless, as we were the only flight during a 1-1/2 time frame. Getting off the tarmac and through immigration, picking up our luggage and proceeding to security was no more than 20 minutes. Didn't even have to present our E-Ticket on entry. The ride to the hotel was supplied by BD Experience and took 25 minutes. Once we arrived, we were greeted by the front lobby staff with a glass of wine, and a cool, wet towel that was very refreshing. Check-in took another 15 minutes, and off we went to our room, 4311. At this point we met our butler, Pablo Martinez. He set us up on the WhatsApp for communication which did come in very handy for the 9 days we were there. Our luggage arrived shortly after, and we came upon the only snag of the trip. The safe would not work, and it was determined through the App communication with Pablo, the battery needed replacement. Maintenance showed up within 10 minutes, and resolved the problem. At this point, I realized this vacation was going to be fantastic, but the care that was already received. ROOM As mentioned above, we were in 4311, which far exceeded our expectations. Nice easy two minute walk to the beach, Adult Mirage Club and the Seaside Restaurant. The room itself, was large, with a seperate bedroom, living room and a double wide deck that had a hot tub on one side, and table and chairs on the other. We could not have asked for anything better. FOOD Where to begin. The first night we came upon the Steakhouse, and we were amazed by not only the size of the steaks, but how they were cooked to our liking. The portions were so large, we could not finish our meals. We ended up eating there twice during our stay. The Italian restaurant was also amazing. Same as above, we ate there twice as well. The Japanese was very entertaining, and again the food was great. The French was excellant as well. The Seaside Restaurant for dinner was our least favouite, as we found the food not up to the standards as the other restaurant had. As for the buffet, very impressive. The chicken, pork chops were quite good, and the variety of other types of food was amazing. ENTERTAINMENT Lots of fun each night. Some nights we stayed on the outside perimeter of the theatre in the courtyard, and met some wonderful people from other parts of the world, who were there, just like us to enjoy our stay. DRINKS You name it, they would make it. Seemed each bartender has his specialty, and they all aimed to please. TIPPING Always a topic of discussion. Do want you think is best. We would leave $5 each morning for the maid but some trinkets we brought along from Canada. Beach service, generally $1 per served drink. Dinner, $10-$20 per meal, SERVICE This is where The Majestic Mirage stood out from the other All Inclusive Resorts we have stayed at. Our butler, Pablo Martinez was absolutely amazing. He se

Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana - All Inclusive

Bavaro Bavaro|0.48km from Arena Gorda Beach
I and my daughter were so looking forward to our experience and now I will write an honest review based on our stay.We came on tui premium flight which was an excellent experience well worth the extra.Sadly that's where the positives end.Arrived after being delayed.Only 2 people on reception.It seems they can swap and change your rooms so they gave us keys to another person's room set up for a family.No feedback given on when the restaurants are open where they are.In fact if I were a lone traveller I would have been feeling tearful at the lack of any information.We were told to go outside and get a train to take our cases.The man was brilliant took us to our room carried cases in and told us enough information to get us by.I gave him a tip.The room 5207 dirty.The whirlpool bath broken.Some of the lights not working including the balcony.Floor filthy.The mini bar was stocked daily and beds made.Nothing 4 star here.The buffet in main reception dire obviously for some reason none of the staff likes the British.Staff Rude never came back with drinks that were ordered.Food cold and your waiting forever for an omelette unless you tip.This seems to be the theme here.This is the only place I've lost weight on holiday.The bars the same my daughter gave a tip in their own dollars only for the woman to snatch it out of her hand and never say Thankyou.Deffo not friendly to us brits.We did the steak house which was OK but maiko was lovely and staff amazing we loved it and it was the saving grace Thankyou.!!.Take mosquito repellent I mean everything spray cream anti histamine.You literally get eaten alive here By 2days in and we were covered.Especially bad In the seated area near waterfalls near reception.Shops are all over priced.We found that there was another part to the complex called the village when we asked where karaoke bar was.A large area to walk round with shops and a stage. Pool areas great with good entertainment teams.Sea and beach beautiful.This hasn't put me off the dominican republic but next time I will pick more wisely.This hotel chain has a resort in tenerife which I stayed in earlier this year which was out of this world and really no comparison.Also they prefer us dollars just a tip we tipped mostly in dollars.

Riu Palace Punta Cana - All Inclusive
4.1/5102 Reviews
Bavaro
Overall a great experience. My boyfriend and I went here as our first time flying out of the country. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Out of the entire resort we only came across one staff member who wasn’t the best. We would recommend this resort to anyone! The staff here is always happy and having a good time with the guests. The only negative is that the buffet food isn’t my absolute favorite but I am a picky eater and still found things to eat. Another negative is the guests who come to Punta Cana are mostly from Europe so there is a lot of smoking but that will happen at any resort, and the resort is not adults only although the only time children were noticeable to us were at the main pool. If you stay in the swim up bar pool or on the beach children aren’t that noticeable. The night time entertainment is geared towards children earlier on (before 8:30 i’d say) and then after that it becomes more dancing and singing for the adults. The resort was very clean and easy to navigate between the map you’re given upon check in and their app. Through the RIU app we were able to request more towels, room service, sheets changed, etc, all while at the pool or beach. At this resort you get a little bit of everything! I would compare this resort to a cruise on land. It’s very big with lots to do and see and you won’t regret staying here.

The entire hotel is very dirty, the rooms are very dirty and dirty, water leaks in the bathrooms, the hair dryer does not work, my Fendi backpack was broken at the reception, the paint is peeling off the pool, the shows are horrible, the dancers even have broken shoes And to make matters worse, the only buffet that has leaked and it seemed that it rained more inside than outside, I won't come back even if they give it to me

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites
4/5100 Reviews
Bavaro
First the good news: The resort is beautiful. The landscape is nice and the beach area is beautiful as well. The buffet (both at Iberostar Selection and Coral Level are good). The a la carte restaurants are nice and a level up from the buffet. Everyone working at the resort is trying to keep customers happy (thanks Yolanda for making the restaurants reservations ahead of time). The evening programs were nice. Second the not so good news: Problems with the room. After upgrading our room to the ocean from presidential suite and waiting an hour to be ready not everything worked as expected. The TV in the living room was not working and it took a couple of phone calls and a day to have it fixed. The jacuzzi which was advertised as part of the room did not work either and it took two days to have it fixed. The A/C in the bedroom could not get to a cool level during the entire stay. And finally one night the electricity went out at midnight and didn’t come back until the next morning (intermittently). No explanation or apologies from the hotel was ever provided). So plan your expectations accordingly.
