Just returned home from the Paridisus. The resort is beautiful. Our room was very nice and clean. The biggest problem is the laguage. If you don't know any spanish it can get very frustrating but the staff are very friendly and tryed to accomadate our every need. There are a lot of foreigners but we met some americans also. The beaches are beautiful we did have trouble a couple of times getting chairs but for the most part it wasn't a problem. The food at all the restraurants is fabulous. The buffets are a little scary but if you arrive early when they just put out the food then it's better. The weather was beautiful there seemed to always be a nice breeze blowing. Overall I would recommend going just keep in mind that you are not in America and some things are a little different. Also find Luiz (He runs the hotel) He was a great help.

My husband, daughter, and I absolutely loved our week at the Paradisus at Punta Cana. We had never been on a tropical vacation before, so we had nothing to compare it to. The resort is breathtakingly beautiful.
When we arrived there and saw the beach, I was amazed at how blue the water was. Although we arrived at the resort before "check in" time, the staff was accommodating by holding our luggage and allowing us to enjoy the pool and plan our dinner reservations for the week. Every single meal was delicious. The variety of foods offered for breakfast and lunch was better than any buffet that I have seen the the US. My daughter became addicted to paiella for lunch or snack every afternoon.
We really felt that it was a great deal because we were always satisfied and never had to worry about carrying money around while wearing swim suits all day.In addition to relaxing at the pool or beach, dinners were the highlight of our day. El Romantico was our favorite; although, we had a pleasant experience every night. After having a delicious meal with complimenting wine, we went to see the entertaining shows in the lobby. The shows weren't as professional as Broadway - but the dancers were talented and we thoroughly enjoyed the music and the culture all around us. It was a lot of fun for the whole family.We were lucky enough to have traveled with friends that had been there previously, because they warned us about the most stressful part of the day... choosing a spot to sit on the beach or near the pool. The only other thing to worry about is applying sunscreen!!! The friends we traveled with speak Spanish which was a plus, but we were able to communicate most of the time without any problems. Overall, our impression of the Dominican people was that they are friendly, happy, hard-working people.We look forward to going back again as soon as we can!!!

We were at the Paradisus Mar.27-Apr.3. The resort is beautiful and very well maintained. The resort staff (all of them) are efficient, helpful, eager to please and very friendly. The accommodations were fine, the food was good, the number and selection of restaurants was great and the bars were excellent in both quality and service. The bartenders are great (special thanks to Francisco) and knew their stuff. As for activities, we played golf four days and enjoyed both the course and the service. The beach is gorgeous and the free- form pool is fantastic with a great swimup bar. We didn't experience any problems with beach and pool chairs and lounges as some have mentioned. We may have been lucky as I think the resort was about 60-70% full the week we were there. We met some great people and had a lot of fun. The lobby is the place to be at night for the shows and the lobby bar. We really enjoyed our vacation at the Paradisus and would definitely recommend it to others.

We just returned from spending one week at this resort. All I can say is that we had a wonderful time. Granted the food wasn't terrific but I didn't care. They was plenty of water sports to do or you could lounge around and soak up the sun. The grounds are beautiful. Our room was by the pool which is convenient to most restaurants and the beach. The beach is lovely. My kids enjoyed it very much. Romantica had the best food. But be forwarned, you need to make a reservation so make one the day you arrive. Would I go back again, yes!!!
