Recently returned from a 10 day stay and our 4th visit to PCP. Staff couldn't have been nicer from the check-in to a late day check-out. Any issues such as problems with our door key as well as our non-working phone were fixed in no time! Staff was so friendly and housekeeping was wonderful with turn-down service each evening! Beach towels replaced in your room every evening so no worries about waiting for clean towels each day.Food is good and plentiful always can find something to eat. The rooms are a little dated but housekeeping does a good job to keep it nice and clean. Love that Management is often around to greet people and listen to any problems or receive any compliments! Can't wait for our next visit to this little gem in Punta Cana.

As a long time Tripadvisor member, I did a lot of research prior to choosing this resort for our 10 day "winter escape" vacation. We have been to 5 other all inclusives in the D.R., and they all had some good points and some bad points. This place is no different, however we found it to be the most relaxing. After negotiating at check in, we received a room in the top floor of building 5, which is the premeir location. The top floor rooms have a cathedral ceiling giving you a very open feeling. The room also offers a great view of the turquoise sea.
The good points:
-No children! Super quiet except for the occassional loud all-inclusive (A.I.) drunk, which can not be avoided at any A.I..
-The perfect white sand beach, with ample seating and warm clean water.
-The design and layout of the pool and swim up bar. Also had plenty of lounges.
-The size and amenities of the suites, including great showers with plenty of hot water and good pressure.
-The staff were all excellent and went out of their way to help you any way they could. From the housekeepers to the front desk manager, all were outstanding.
- Interesting mix of guests. In order of percentage: 1)English speaking Canadians (couldn't be friendlier) 2) French speaking Canadians (stick to themselves and can be quite rude to guests and staff) 3) German/Swiss 4) Americans 5) Russians 6) South Americans We made some good friends on our trip, and we personally like a mix of guests. If I wanted all Americans I would go to Florida.
The not to good Points
- Hotel needs updating. While our room was certainly comfortable, it is getting a little worn on the edges. They are in the process of re-doing all the rooms and will be completed in a year. The pool also needs to be re-painted as many corrosion stains show. It is maintained very well and the water quality is excellent, but doesn't look clean due to the staining.
- The food. I really don't expect gourmet food in the D.R. and I wasn't disappointed. The breakfast was very good with whatever you would expect at the buffet. The lunch was OK with an unknown spice in the hamburgers. The salads were always good for lunch and dinner. The buffet gets old after 10 days and some nights were strange, like the 2 meats on the buffet one night were liver and stewed tongue. We went to the Mare Nostrum one night and ended up going to the buffet afterwards since we barely touched the items we selected. Our medium rare steaks were gray throughout and covered in institutional gray. It appeared to be a cube steak that had been tenderized. If you want gourmet food take a cruise. I get a kick out of reading reviews of this resort where they state how great the food is. I can't imagine where these people usually dine out or what they eat at home, but God bless them. We are spoiled with great restaurants in our part of the country, but we have also traveled to many places in the world, and you simply do not come to the D.R. for gourmet food. We never went hungry and had some good things, but nothing memorable.

Would we go there again? Due to the absolute relaxation offered, I would say yes. The outstanding staff, and perfect setting, impecable grounds overcomes the expected shortcomings in dining.

We had a great time at the PCP. From the time Ronaldo checked us in, we enjoyed almost everything. Only negatives for us were the lack of Internet ( without paying $60). There were only 3 computers to use for free in the lobby. I expected to be able to use my laptop in the lobby for free like most resorts. Entertainment is a bit weak. They don't have a real venue like the Caribe but a couple nights in the lobby were fine. The unlimited access to the Caribe and Bavaro solves this if you live for shows. The a la cartes were fine. Good food. The buffet was average with a few nights where they upped their game with specials. The bartender ( mr. Jiggy Jiggy) in the lobby was great. Should be a comedian. The two ladies (cenya?) at the pool bar during the day we so nice and made us feel at home. They were spectacular.

Spent most of our time at the beach. Spectacular!!!!!!
The place was clean, well kept,well run and safe. Our suite was clean and spacious. I would not hesitate to go back
