Find the Cheap Punta Cana Hotels

We just spend a week at the resort and it was an amazing time. We went for the beach and the relaxation and it did not disappoint. While it's not a beach to take long walks on (or even short ones), it is beautiful and the ocean is amazing. In speaking with some of the managers there, they noted how the owners want the beach to be a place just to relax - so there are no activities such as jet skis out in the ocean or even paddle boards. We certainly appreciated that. We stayed in a one room villa and it was very nice and well appointed and the outside private pool (more than a plunge pool) was amazing. The three restaurants on site were very good for dinner and lunch at the beach is standard beach fare amped up just a little. The staff works hard and it shows. Special call outs to Wilson at the beach who always made sure our Presidente was very cold and for bringing great energy to his job. And to Daniel at breakfast who made every morning that much better. Lena in the spa gave a great massage. If you're looking for a higher-end resort to just unwind and relax this is a great place.

Because of the early flight and the hotel is near, I chose it! Old-brand hotel chains, management, service, facilities and equipment, hygiene and supporting facilities are all very good! 1.1 km from Punta Cana International Airport, about 5 minutes by car, the hotel has a shuttle bus to the airport, you can make an appointment in advance! Because the flight was too early, I didn’t have breakfast, I don’t know what happened! Slippers and toothpaste are not provided in the room. All the cups are disposable! The hotel is not on the beach, there is a burger shop and several restaurants nearby, two banks! There is no small supermarket, the water and snacks in the hotel lobby are super expensive, 4 times the price outside! The price is average!

The hotel does not look like the pictures. When I got yo my room, on the first night my room smelled of urine, as if person who was belied me peed and the hotel doesn’t clean it. It was unbearable, I had to ask reception to come and sort it out because I wasnt going to be able to sleep with that smell. The housekeeper came and she swiped the floor and it was much better. The toilet handle was broken despite the water flushing. The room smelled out humidity. Not very sure of they changed the sheets needles I got there or even after. The food was all artificial food, nothing organic. All drinks were from those sachets. Even the sprite tasted different :/ On NYE the food was much better, there were good choices, but still artificial. Overall, it wasn’t that bad, a lot of people seemed to be okay with it. I am very picky so I notice everything.

Upon arriving at this place, my friend and I were immediately put off by the workers who stared at us instead of offering to help with our luggage—a clear red flag. It only got worse from there. We were shocked to find over fifteen roaches crawling in our beds, on the floor, and even inside our luggage! This was completely unacceptable. The customer service was atrocious. When I brought up our concerns to the receptionist, he had the audacity to suggest we refrain from leaving a review in exchange for unspecified ”privileges.” The bedsheets were stained, the towels were dirty, and the water had a foul odor. It was a nightmare. To add insult to injury, when we voiced our complaints about the roaches, the receptionist brushed us off, claiming we should expect such things in this country. This dismissive attitude was incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional. Thankfully, Starling and Davison from were the only saving grace during our stay—they actually cared and were extremely helpful. In conclusion, I strongly advise against booking with this establishment. The lack of cleanliness, poor customer service, and dismissive attitude towards legitimate complaints made our experience utterly disappointing and frustrating.

My husband and I visited this resort for our 8th anniversary. We booked an ocean view Castle Junior Suite. Upon arrival, we had a piece of Black Forest cake, Dominican Cacao, and bottle of Mamajuana waiting in our room to celebrate. Our butler was Eric, and he was the BEST! He took us on a tour of the resort, and alerted us daily of activities and restaurant selections available. He was available via What’s App for any concerns or questions we had. As stated in other reviews, the beach is not clear blue water, but we knew that going in. I grew up going to “dirty Myrtle” so it wasn’t an issue for me. The seaweed is better on some days than others, but they have a crew that works their tails off raking the beach and trying to contain it. I also suggest water shoes and small steps because upon entry there are some large rocks and dips, but once you get out a bit, it is no longer an issue. The pool areas are great, and there are several to choose from. Someone was always willing to grab your towels and get you set up in a nice spot. Drink service was on point, we never had to wait long between rounds. Although tips are “included”, I would suggest bringing a little extra for that. I saw how hard the employees work, most in long pants in incredible heat and humidity. I would rate the restaurants 4/5. The first night at Blue Marlin was not good. I think our order was lost in translation. I put that on myself, for visiting a country where I don’t speak the language. I could have used Google translate. I would suggest that if it seems you are not being understood. I won’t name the waiter because again, that’s on me. In contrast, Bladimir and Danny as servers at the Steakhouse were great. That was our favorite restaurant so we ate there twice. We also had a nice dinner at Capriccio. The Casabella lunch buffet had a nice daily lunch selection, and you can also visit the smaller restaurants in Sanctuary Town, a small area across from the main hotel which has pizza, sushi, beer, and ice cream/sweets. The Wok was closed on our visit so we did not get to try that. Overall, there is a large selection to choose from and room service is available 24 hours with a $10 service fee. We enjoyed our first stay in DR, and would definitely consider rebooking this resort on a return trip.
