“Great experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 9, 2012

The family suite was very comfortable for my family of 5. It can accommodate a family of 6 with ease. The beds where comfortable and was able to sleep without problems.
The food was tasty and the selection was there.
The beach during this time of year has seaweed but we expected it. There many waves but my two older kids aged 5 and 7 loved it. The pools where also used and the kids had a great time.

Dear Monica,

We are thrilled to have learnt that you had such an amazing vacation with us at Tropical Princess since our main objective is to surpass our guest’s expectations.

In reference to your question, during the period you were residing in the Dominican Republic, there was a celebration of a tournament for the League called Punta Cana Baseball League; they hosted teams from Mexico, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Miami and the Dom. Rep. itself. For more information you can access their webpage puntacanabl.com.

Once more, we thank you for your feedback and we hope to receive you as a guest again at the Princess Hotels.

Respectfully,

Julio Paulino

“Great trip in mid July!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 2, 2012

We, a family of 5, went on a last minute trip to this hotel from July17-24. We had a great time. Really loved the location of the resort. Food was good, just enough for 4 stars.Have to try the La Creperie for crepes, ice cream, shakes. Very Good!! Bars were well equipped, bartenders nice. Only staff at photo booth and the activity booth were disconnected and uninterested treating any question a waste of their time. All other employees were great. Reception area and staff were very friendly and courtious.Beach towels were not so easy to get, usually out. We had ours for 4 days before we got hold of fresh ones. No problem with lounge chairs, always found some to sit on. Check in, check out easy. Transfer to and from airport about 25 min. I have nothing bad to say about the hotel. Everything was as expected, it sure gave us 4 stars, did not expect more or less. Kids used the teen club, liked to play pool and learn archery. Nightly shows were so, so. A little boring, but maybe we have seen too many of these.
Pools were great, one really nice with lots of shady spots. I would return and recommend to friends. We got no mosquitoe bites, that was great. Water both in the Sea and pools was just amazing.We got a family suite with 3 beds and 2 bathrooms - that was a welcomed bonus with a 5 member family! Rooms were basic, more on the smaller side, but sufficient and comfortable. The air conditioner was quiet, but not too cool, the ceiling fans helped. The maid was super fast and room was always made up early. When you take a stroll and turn left on the beach, keep going for about 10-15 minutes, you'll get to all the beach shops. If you go in the morning you get better deals. In the late afternoons they don't really go down in price for merchandise. Some vendors at the hotel on 2 nights, not a problem, but they are pushy just like everywhere. There are shops near the lobby, but beware:Very expensive! But they have all the necessities you might need, be prepared to pay triple or quadruple the worth compared to a wal-mart. Overall very good experience!

“great trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 1, 2012

stayed here in august of 2010 with my girlfriend. we had an amazing time, food was great, beach was awesome. staff was very nice. not a single complaint about the trip except 2 nights they allow vendors to come in an sell stuff in the middle of the resort. we found some to be very pushy and were worried they would follow us back to our room so we always went out the back way and avoided it after that. i would love to go back! we sat in on the beach right next to the bar!
oh and when they fill your fridge with drinks put them in your bag before you leave that way you get a full refill and can enjoy some drinks in your room later!

“AMAZING”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 24, 2012

Myself as well as 65 others all travelled in a large group and stayed at this beautiful resort. Me and a few of my close friends were in the pool majority of the time and absolutely loved the swim up bar! Jose Obama and Antonio de Jesus made our time there 10x more enjoyable. They were so funny and nice and always had a smile on their faces. They kept us entertained with their great humour, dance moves, service and of coarse the Mama Juana. We all had an unforgettable experience and wonderful vacation. We're sure we will be back some time in the near future!
