We traveled with a group of 25, 12 adults, 13 kids ages ranging from 12 to 18yrs. The resort was very safe and we felt comfortable giving the kids a little freedom. There was plenty of things for them to do and not once did we here "we're bored." From an adults perpective, not what we were use too. It... more

Had 2 wonderful weeks at the Dominicana in March 09. This was our 4th stay and we upgraded to a junior suite and had a beach front room which was really handy for the beach. Our 2nd week was a bit windy, which made the beachfront location not ideal - its in the shade in the afternoon and it was... more

This Hotel is no doubt beautiful, although a tad confusing on your first niight due to there being 2 different sides, but it litrally only takes the one night to get to grips with it. There are so many staff at this place and everything is crystal clean no complaints there attall!! and they are also very nice and never... more

So i read the reviews before we left for our first anniversary holiday and thought these people must be so picky and hard to please.WRONG.They were spot on. The place is too big for a start and should be split up.On arrival there were no bell boys to help with luggage so we were handed a map and had to... more

We've stayed everywhere from the Hilton Maldives to LeBlanc Cancun and frankly, this was one of our better vacations. Since mostly everything was good, and I do recommend this hotel (and it will only get better over the coming year or so), allow me to tell you briefly the few things you may not like, if you tend to be... more

I was unsure of the resort and some of the reviews I read were not great, but I realized everyones expectations are different, so I took the chance. From the time we got off the bus, we were greeted at the front desk with a glass of fruit punch and a clean cloth to wash our hands from the trip... more

Good swimming pools, nice animation. Very large hotel. Good transport service Excellent restaurants Nice service and staff, but do not forget to give some tips But, you have queues for everything, even for meals (incl. breakfast) It is hard to get a free place near the pools. At 8:00 you have towels marking all places. I suggest this hotel, but... more

My wife and I traveled with friends for an all inclusive week at the Melia Caribe Tropical. We all upgraded to the Royal Service and we are very glad that we did. The room was very clean and comfortable, plus the fridge was stocked with several Presidente beers which I did enjoy. The private pool and the beach both had... more

We had a fantastic time. The staff at the restaurant and bars were second to none. Wilson and Marcy at the Steakhouse were incredible. They were on point with all of our needs. Also, Nelson at the oceanfront bar was aces. We will be back. more

Overall our trip was fine - we had a two small irritants but they were just that - irritants, not dealbreakers. We aren't fussy folks so are easily pleased. The dinner buffet was average. However, the Star Rock Cafe - where you don't need reservations - was a nice break from the dinner buffet and the food was good (tuna,... more

My husband and I just returned from the Majestic Elegance after spending the week of July 6th there. We were impressed by the beauty of the resort. Our room was on the ground floor, nearer to the lobby than the beach, and it was convenient to the entire resort. The room itself was wonderful. We loved the large, jetted tub,... more

19 of us just got back on July 14 from a one week stay and I must say it has been by far our best vacation yet. When traveling with 19 people ranging in age from 14 to 48 a lot of consideration must be taken when choosing a resort. This place had it all and you didn't have to... more

We just returned from a week long stay at the Catalonia Royal Bavaro. Overall we had a good time and would proabably come back again (especially if I have a say). At first the staff was friendly but you could definately tell it was because they had to be. After we started tipping for service their forced friendliness changed. We... more

Do not book a trip at the Barcelo if you are looking for good food and any type of customer service. I had previously taken a trip through Apple Vacations to Rivieria Maya and was thriled with the hotel (a Riu) that we booked at their four red apple rating. The Barcelo received the same rating, but was awful in... more
