Paradisus Punta Cana

Faircia Nov 23, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

My husband and I wanted a short, restful trip and that's exactly what we got. Initially we were booked at the Paradisus Palma ... Real but were notified the week before we left that they had overbooked. We were a little nervous after that, but they upgraded us to the Reserve at the Paradisus Punta Cana and it was great. I highly recommend the Reserve. The only small downside is that the Reserve is farthest away from the beach. The beach, the pool, the services and the food were all good. The Gabi Grill at the Reserve had the best lunch. The Palapa wasn't my favorite. I wouldn't recommend Copa Tours as the tour company or the airport taxi. Club Caribe had better service. Others had problems with Copa canceling tours and their vans were really crowded going to and from the airport. We didn't bring our kids on this trip, but there were some there and we'd definitely go back with them. They had their own pool area and all seemed to be having fun. November was a great time to go.

There's a little tourist area that has some little shops right outside the hotel area. Definitely barter, but it was kind of fun and a little cheaper than the hotel. The Larimar jewelry at the hotel was a good deal, however.

This is a very nice resort, one of the better in the areas. Staff was friendly and helpful. Pool was cleaned daily, chairs ... were clean and towels readily available.

Friends Wedding guest Oct 26, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

We went on this vacation because we were attending a wedding. The resort is beautiful!!! The grounds are beautiful and the ... rooms are beautiful! The drinks were great. The staff tried very hard but was not knowledgable about their own hotel. I would ask the same question to 3 people and get 3 different answers. They are just very laid back. The pool could use some minor repairs- tiles falling off. The food was my biggest complaint. It was not very good. I hvae been to other all inclusive resorts, and this was one of the poorest food choices. The restaurants were empty with 2 tables full at each seating (this is off season), so when you sat down the atmosphere was poor. You feld like you were where no-one else wanted to be. They would only allow 2 tables at a time. Crazy!!! Room service was really good. Very friendly and decent food. Shows at night were okay. The circus show was great, but others were fairly boring. Not much night life at all.

What an incredible trip! Just left there last Saturday, and I didn't want to leave! From the moment I stepped out of the car, ... and was greeted I was in complete awww! Our room was immaculate, very clean and every time we came back to the room, we had new towels, bed was made, etc. The food was incredible! Ate at a different resturaunt every night and every night got better than the last. The activities available were amazing! Went Horseback riding and went out on motor boats that took us to the middle of the ocean to go snorkeling. Every night after dinner there was some form of entertainment singers,circus acts, flame throwing, absolutely amazing!! The club area was perfect for salsa dancing as well! If you are considering this resort! I say hands down you will not be disapointed! I will be back and I have no interest in visiting any other resorts in Punta Cana besides Palma Real

Coming off of A St. Thomas, and a Mexico vacation the past two years D.R. is in the lead by far. The hotel was spotless, and ... the staff worked constantly to maintain this.

The Horseback riding, scuba and snorkeling are the types of excursions that I would have paid for in other hotels, but are part of the stay. Take advantage of them, they are worth the time. Don't forget to order room service. It's good, free and very prompt!

Awesome resort!

Cougar Aug 21, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

The room was beautiful, clean, great view from the balcony. Loved the swim up bar and lounge chairs in the pool! We ran on ... the beach in the morning and hit the fitness center afterwards. Great way to start the day! Beware of the locals waiting along the beach outside the resort to get you to look at their souveniers...kind of annoying. Makes you not want to walk along the beach too far! We went parasailing, which was awesome! But the highlight was swimming with the dolphins and sea lions. Well worth the money. Keep in mind when you make reservations for these activities, when they say to be in the lobby at a certain time, they are on 'Island time' and we've experience both times that they were ~ 45 min to 1 hour late. The food was delicious! We were able to make reservations 4 of the 5 nights for dinner at the restaurants. Food was well worth it, but it was funny how they would say the restaurant is booked, but when you're there, its only maybe half full.

It's best you try to book all reservations for the restaurants (not the buffet) as early as possible, because seats are limited, but the buffet itself is absolutely amazing.

Paradise

Aloha Aug 11, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

We stayed at The Reserve at Paradisus Palma Real in Punta Cana. My husband and I had a wonderful time. We recommend that you ... stay at The Reserve if you want a peaceful and relaxing vacation where all your needs are met. 24 hour room service was awesome! However, remember to carry a lot of cash for tips. At this place, you had to tip your way through to amazing service. Comparing to a previous trip to a Sandals resort, this trip's downfall was the transportation service to and from the airport. They were not punctual at all! Asides from the excellent food, beach and pools, we recommend you take a safari tour with Bavaro Runners to the villages and get to experience the local culture, food and amazing scenery.

Paradise on Earth!

Prince of the Carribbean Aug 5, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

The hotel staff were fantastic. Great food and variety including drink. Location is perfect for an all-inclusive package. I ... played golf and enjoy the pool (swimming to the bar). The beach was great and the service was unbelievable. The shows were up to my expectation. I just did not like the fact that there was no hot water in the bathroom sink. Besides that it was paradisiac!

I came to this resort to join family for my cousin's wedding. The resort was their choosing and I'm glad they did. The ... ambiance and service was impeccable. There was lots to do from games to shows. The staff made sure that all your needs were met. The resort is very family friendly and comfortable. The restaurants were nice but you have to make reservations first.

Not worth the money!

MOM Jul 9, 2009

We went for a wedding. When we arrived it was chaos. Rooms were not ready. We were hungry from being on the plane. We ... arrive at around 3:30, but the buffet was closing. No food at an all inclusive? Oh we can order room service-BUT OUR ROOMS WERE NOT READY!!! You could NEVER get a dinner reservation, but the restaurants were empty. Oh you could get a reservation at 10:00 PM. Then when you get a reservation, try to get a drink-That's a joke! Look, when you pay a lot of money, and expect all inclusive all the time, you expect ALL THE TIME! I would have rather paid for what I wanted when I wanted it!!! The beach was OK. Oh and you had to pay for anything extra- laundry, etc. Room keys kept on not working, and you had to go to the front desk to replace them. When we checked out, our rooms were all mixed up. Our room was under someone elses name. This happened for other family members as well. Oh and we had an ocean view. Ya we saw the ocean over trees, from a very far distance!

Money savers tip, Short Walk

There's a little tourist area that has some little shops right outside the hotel area. Definitely barter, but it was kind of fun and a little cheaper than the hotel. The Larimar jewelry at the hotel was a good deal, however.

--Amanda, Poughkeepsie, New York Oct 13, 2009

Money savers tip, In Hotel

The Horseback riding, scuba and snorkeling are the types of excursions that I would have paid for in other hotels, but are part of the stay. Take advantage of them, they are worth the time. Don't forget to order room service. It's good, free and very prompt!

--Traveling Gal, Staten Island, New York Jun 26, 2009

Dining tip, In Hotel

Vento has the best food, Passions has the best service (not so fantastic food), Acqua is delicious too, but the service is lacking. Unfortunately reservations are required for every restaurant which we found puzzling because they were never full even during prime time.
