The resort is nice but the food is absolutely horrible. It’s always cold and rock hard. Would not recommend you would think the restaurants are better, no, it’s buffet style just like the buffet during lunch. During dinner it’s impossible to make a reservation.

While staying at Vista Sol we had great interactions with two amazing employees. The bar tender, Juan was always diligent and kind while providing great service. Madelin was extremely enthusiastic about giving guests a phenomenal experience. Madelin knows how to get people involved in activities to enhance their stay and all around knows how to provide a great atmosphere during those activities. Many of the guests seemed enthralled with her bubbly personality including myself.

We made the best of the vacation. The staff are really nice and engaging. They could do a better job at cleaning the pools so many bugs and nasty stuff floating in the water. The food at the buffet was horrible, my gosh I was so hungry for my entire trip. We survive off of fresh pasta, fries, and pizza. better food in Cuba! There is a Mexican restaurant 5 min walk from the hotel that was good. There's also a free shuttle bus from the hotel, that takes you to Bluemall were they have Pizzahut, Taco bell and a few other restaurants. The rooms are outdated and washroom and the washroom was very dirty. I had to upgrade to the ocean view room for a extra cost, it was a better room with wifi access, Netflix and youtube on the tv. The thing I hated the most were the smokers.. It's ridiculous that they let people smoke anywhere on the resort, I seen people smoking in the pool, in the lobby, at thr beach, in the Cinema. It was very annoying . The nightly shows are nice the kids really enjoyed it.After the shows they played music were you can dance and enjoy. The only thing ia thats its the same music everynight so it gets pretty boring and representative you just gotta make the best of it. The foam party at the main pool was really fun, and the beach party was a good vibe also. All the staff were really nice and welcoming, I had no problem with the service. The beach was beautiful also..I loved Punta Cana but I would definitely go to another resort. I wouldn't recommend this resort to anyone, save yourself the time and look somewhere else…

Dear Nikitar, Greetings from Vista Sol Punta Cana! We deeply regret that our gastronomic offer did not meet your expectations. Our hotel offers a wide variety in both our Buffet Restaurant and specialty restaurants with the aim of satisfying the culinary demands of the different cultures that visit us. For breakfast, lunch and dinner we have a wide variety of fresh products available to our guests such as vegetables, legumes, fruits, fish, meats, seafood, sweets, pastas, rice and much more. In addition, we have our Snack Bar and Food Truck available to our guests, however, quality is a subjective concept which we deeply respect. Regarding the smoking areas, they are properly distributed and indicated and we always ensure that the rules are followed, but unfortunately this is something that we cannot fully control since it also depends on the civility of each guest. Sincerely, Monica Leger-Public Relations.

Where to start? We arrived late, two rooms, 7 travelers. I explained I needed a room so my parents don’t go up the stairs bc they are elderly. They put us on the 3rd floor. 7 travelers and they only out 2 towels each room. The phones were broken and we had to walk very are to get them to bring towels. AC was not working in one room. The tubs were disgusting. Black. Never cleaned . Web. We went to use them, immediately filled because they were clogged up. Again, we had to walk to wait 25 mins for them to come look at tubs. We are exhausted at this point. We missed food buffet, “sorry no food. “ they fixed a phone, and couldn’t fix the av until the next day. The lines were cheap and worn out. The towels were cheap and worn out . They give you a tiny bottle of soap to use as shampoo. Horrible, cheap quality. Housekeeping is dirty and threw out one of the kids pijamas and my shorts. They have 5 restaurants with limited menus . Guess . what? You won’t get a reservation during your stay bc they’re over booked . The pools are extremely disgusting. Overall, the place is very dirty, front desk is rude and doesn’t care. Housekeeping are dirty. The buffet people and everyone isn’t that friendly. The buffet was good . Everything else was a nightmare . Save your money and go to an island where people want to work and take pride in their work! I forgot to say that it took them 2 hours to fix both tubs. Nope! They were clogged entire time! A television was also broken!…

Dear Alex, We greet you from Vista Sol Punta Cana! Thank you very much for sharing your impressions with us, We appreciate that you have sent us your comments regarding your stay at our hotel. It is through the observations of our valued guests that we can identify our opportunities for improvement and thus take the appropriate actions to achieve excellence in service. In our hotel we only have two blocks that do not have an elevator and in case the person cannot climb stairs due to some physical condition you should have reported it to the hotel not to your agency, in any case I do not think they have put them on a third floor without elevators, given that, as you say, your family members cannot climb stairs, what you point out about restaurant reservations draws my attention strongly since our themed restaurant reservation system allows us to guarantee reservations for each guest throughout their stay. stay based on availability and the number of nights of each client's stay. And curiously I HAVE HAD NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT SUPPOSED RESERVATION DRAWINGS as you allege. Sincerely, Monica Leger-Public Relations.

Just returned from a great relaxing stay at the Vista Sol, Punta Cana. Ignore the bad reviews, I suspect those people will moan about anything. The Vista Sol is a nicely laid out, large hotel facing right onto the beach, with three swimming pools and large gardens. We made sure to smile and say “Hola” to all the staff whenever we saw them. We started each conversation with “Hablas inglés?”, were polite, thanked people, ordered cocktails and enjoyed ourselves. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Treat people as you would expect to be treated yourself and don’t forget working in a hotel is a hard, poorly paid job! We left a small tip in our bedroom each day and received good housekeeping service. The beds were comfy. Top tip to avoid condensation in your room, always keep the bathroom door shut during and after a shower with extractor fan/light on. Keep the french windows onto the balcony closed to keep the mosquitoes out, and increase the temperature on the thermostat/air conditioner before going to bed. We found 23 degrees at night the best temperature for us. If you leave it on 18 degrees, yes you’re going to wake up freezing! The buffet food was good, always something to choose from and we enjoyed all the additional on-site restaurants that you could book, particularly the Mexican and the Gourmet. Holidaymakers were many different nationalities, which made it more interesting. Noticed it was mainly Americans and Brits complaining and being rude to staff – nothing new there. 1```````````````````````````````````…

This is the worst resort I ever stayed in … first when we got there our room wasn’t ready …. The staff was rude ….. acted like they didn’t want too be there …. Got our room …. Beds were so hard and uncomfortable….. no wifi no room service …. You had too eat at the times that the restaurant was open if you missed the time period …. You didn’t eat …. Food was edible but nothing special …. Pools were dirty ….. crowds in the lobby because that was the only place too get wifi …. You weren’t allowed too bring food from the restaurant too your room ….. the only nice thing about the place was the beach but do not go to the food truck at the beach … I saw customers getting electrocuted from touching the ledge where they put the food and the food is garbage ….. when on the beach you constantly getting bugged by people selling trips and hair braiding …etc. There wasn’t enough chairs for people too sit around the pool …. Please pay a little extra for a good resort … this is a waste off money…
