Punta Cana hotel seduces with stylish rooms, multiple eateries and bars
Fans of contemporary design flock to NH Real Arena, where clean lines, dramatic lighting and high-end furniture create a high-end haven for leisure and business travelers. Dining, drinking and leisure options abound, enticing guests with 13 restaurants, a swim-up bar, water sports and the nearby Cocotal Golf and Country Club.
Highlights
- Kids' club for children ages 4 to 13
- Close to Cocotal Golf and Country Club
- 13 restaurants and six bars
- Contemporary rooms with tropical décor and balconies or patios
Rooms
Sleek furniture and mod lighting define the look inside the 642 rooms at NH Real Arena. Dark woods – linear headboards and minimalist work desks – complement bright, tropical bedding and abstract artwork. And while the furniture favors heavy tones, the floors are light, opening up the space. Each air-conditioned room boasts cable TV, 300-thread count sheets and a safe. Guests also take advantage of the 24-room service and furnished patios or balconies.
Features
NH Real Arena guests make the most of the transportation (fees apply) to nearby Cocotal Golf Course and Country Club, where they can rent Callaway equipment and take lessons. The resort can also schedule tee times.
Back at the property, thrill seekers indulge in local past times like catamaran boat rides, double-decker party boats, flying boats and more diversions. Parents can also register their children ages 4 to 13 in the supervised kids' club, which encourages interactive play with a theater and games room.
Dining
Guests at NH Real Arena enjoy dining at the 13 restaurants on site, which span Italy, Asia and more global flavors. Diners with special requests like low-calorie meals and vegetarian will also be accommodated. At some restaurants, a dress code applies.
In keeping with the chic style of NH Real Arena, the restaurants capture a zest for contemporary design. Asian Restaurant channels China with decorative red screens, while Senses Restaurants evokes modern romance with rose-printed chairs, curved booths, gauzy curtains and striking red chandeliers. Multiple bars, including a swim-up bar, keep spirits high.

The worst trip to now larimar
We traveled from Dec 16-20, for 4 nights, but i wouldn't want to stay any longer there. I had such a great expectations of this hotel, on the pictures it looks so nice, plus we got a preffered club ocean view room, all inclusive. How bad can it be right? The hotel not as new as i thought, the room was average nothing special. The pools are not heated at all they are freezing all 3 of them. The ocean was very dirty alot of seaweed and garbage in the ocean like cups, plastic bags its disgusting. The water in the ocean was cold too...drinks were ok, most of them tasted the same eventhought they had different names but thats not important. About the food, its the same food everyday, they don't offer different variety of foods like if you expect seafood, lobsters they don't have that. They only serve rice and sausages and pizza. In salat leaves i found a live cockroach. Restaurants they had 3 or 4 were just ok...can't say much. Entertainment is nothing special at all, the casino only opens at 6pm and literally they have like 5 slot machines that play for a dollar and never win. So I am speechless of this place. I've been to DR before like Majestic Elegance was nice, Grand Bahia was also nice, but after staying in this place i don't think I ever want to return to punta cana. But If you want to Risk it go ahead and enjoy.

Excellent Hotel and Value
Check in was easy. Rooms were very nice. I did not have much of a view, but it did matter too much since I was hardly ever in my romm except to sleep. Staff was very accommodating, especially at an all-inclusive resort. Food was very good. Try the Lobster.

Nice Fall Vacation
We just returned from Now Larimar Punta Cana and the staff was wonderful, the hotel was beautiful and the food was very good. We selected a ocean view room and it was very nice. However there were a few items missing from our room which are in every hotel room including a two star. There was no clock in the room. We called and were told they would get one for us if they could. We finally after our third day went to the desk and was told only preferred guest had clocks. We joked about not having a pen, paper or ironing board either and asked if you had to be preferred guest to get them too. We did finally get our clock after we said we needed it to time our medication but did not get any other items. The room was clean but we only had two shabby bath towels, one hand towel and had to always ask the maid (even after we tipped her) for extras when we saw the cart. We really had a great time and enjoyed the resort and I understand that preferred guest have extra features but this is advertised as a 4 star and in some areas it is not unless you get the preferred plan at this resort.

Great Holiday
we were nervous about the resort since it changed hands just before we went. We were very pleased. Service was fast and friendly, staff was great. Food was delicious and a wide variety. The resort was beautiful and spacious. The only complaint I have is that the humidity made the room smell musty. AC was nice to have at this time of year. The beach was wonderful. My daughters wedding was on the beach and was a day out of the movies. All in all, well worth the trip.

Now Larimar
My wife and I along with another army couple went to Now Larimar over the 4th of July. This hotel was great. Has a great variety of food and has a number of different restaurants on location. Everyone there was really nice and always willing to make your trip better. My wife and I did the deep sea fishing and zip line, both were really fun. the other couple went scuba diving and said it was a blast. the wife also went and did the day spa and really enjoyed it. Also keep in mind this place has a mixture of everyone from all over the world. Something to keep in mind when you go to the beach and see some different swim wear. Also if you have kids the hotel has a day care to watch them while you do more adult stuff.

Nightlife tip:
In Hotel
the hotel has a casino which actually pays out alot. My buddy won a total of 600 over the week and I won just over a 100. Every night the hotel has different shows, which all were great. My fav was the Elvis singer. Also the hotel has a club for dancing and a sports bar which has bowling.

Now Larimar
Overall, our stay at NOW was okay. There was some confusion at our check-in, with a staff member asking for our voucher from [...]to confirm our stay. We had print outs of our itinerary, confirmation emails, etc. from [...]but no voucher. We had to pay to use the business center to contact [...]and confirm there was no voucher needed, just the itinerary and reservation number which we had already presented. We eventually confirmed everything with the front desk, but it was an annoying way to start our vacation. The food was okay - Spice was our favorite and worth the wait. We both started to have some stomach troubles towards the end of our stay, and seemed to be related to what we ate. The drinks were good, but it is impossible to even get a little tipsy no matter how much you drink.The staff was friendly and helpful (other than the check-in problems), the rooms were clean and nice. It was a little unnerving to find no door between the bathroom and the rest of the room with only a frosted glass door closing off the toilet, but you get used to it.We para-sailed and used the catamarans from the beach - and recommend both. We arrived on a Sunday and left on a Saturday, and found the resort more enjoyable during the week when it was less busy. As it got closer to the weekend, the pool was packed and the resort in general started to feel crowded. However we never had a problem finding a shaded spot on the beach, regardless of what time we headed out.
