Paradisus Punta Cana Resort - All Inclusive

My husband and I went to this resort to celebrate my 30th birthday. We stayed for 5 days. I was a little torn at first about booking this resort because I didn't want one with a bunch of kids running around. So I considered a few adults only resorts instead. Finally we decided on this hotel because of the amenties... Boy and I glad we did!! It was BEAUTIFUL!!! The staff was so amazing. Everyone smiles and speaks when they see you. Everyone was always smiling and SO nice. (But hey, what's there to be grumpy about when you are surrounded by such beauty?) Of course like everyone, I read the reviews first, and some were scarring me, but I'm glad I was able to have my own experience. First the rooms: we had the royal suite and it was amazing. When we came to our room, there was pink and white balloons on our door and throughout the room (for my bday). SO nice and thoughtful. Also there were fresh orchids on the counters and sink. What a nice touch. The room was CLEAN with plenty of fresh towels and bottled water. The shower was nice. Second: The beach!! We were very lucky and our room was right near the gazebo, which is right off of the beach. For me, that's a huge thing, while on vacation, not having to walk for miles just to go to the beach. It was right there. And it was never crowded. There were tons of people at this resort, yet we always managed to feel in our own world. Plenty of chairs to lay out in. Plenty of room in the water to never feel crowded. We've been to other resorts where I haven't wanted to get into the water or the pool due to over crowding... NOT a problem here. Oh, that leads me to the AMAZING pool!! They should call this a lazy river. That's what it reminded me of. It was so large I never actually saw all of it! There were kids in the pool, but because there was so much space we never got "splashed" or bothered by kids. The swim up bar...AWESOME! Also there were plenty of FREE activities. Snorkling, catamaran, scuba diving, water bikes all free. There are some you can pay extra for like parasailing, but we didn't need to. Maybe if we would have stayed longer. But we did go out on the catamaran! Third: Food. The food was great. There were lots to choose from. I had a few things I didn't care for... but that is personal preference, not the resort. I read reviews and people were complaining about the food. You have to think about it... this is another country. It's not going to make burgers the way your favorite burger joint does... If you are open and accepting of that... you'll be fine. OH, and we NEVER GOT SICK! I packed pepto just to be safe and it's still in the box. The resort tells you at check in, dont' drink the water. In fact, I think they told us at the airport while taking the shuttle to the resort. There is plenty of bottled water... no reason to ever get sick. The ice from the bars are filtered so no worries there... Only one resturant requires a reservation Sakura, GO! It was really cool and the food was the BEST at the whole resort. Finally... THE BARS! Weather you are a drinker or not.. that is the place to be! At night the lobby turns into an entire night life. Dancing, music, shows, fun fun fun! The guys at the bar in the lobby (Kelvin) are super awesome! They laughed, danced, sang, and really brought the atmosphere to life. And all of that is not even mentioning the actual CLUB, and CASINO. I also got a body scrub at the Spa... amazing! Overall... we LOVED LOVED LOVED it and would definitely go back!

We selected you undre false information about the resort. They discriminate with the standard guest, unless you pay for an upgrade.We spend around 2 or 3 hours for dinner in line,while others will be seated as soon as they arrived.The facilities are old and lack maintenance.the air/cond. just to 78 degrees.Just the landscaping is 5 stars.We wont recommend you as agent or the resort.

The place and hotel were beautiful phisically. I went in summer and it was way too hot. The worst part is that the AC didn't work well anywhere so it was hot in the room and even the restaurants. Practically you're sweating all the time. The food wasn't good and I'm latin so I'm used to their type of food. The service wasn't that good either. I was expecting much much much more from a 5 star hotel and more from a Paradisus Hotel, specially since we payed so much for the stay. Not even the entretainment shows they gave at night were good enought really for a 5 star hotel. The hotel is not worth the money they're charging. I wouldn't go back, maybe to the D. Republic, but definitely NOT to this hotel.

I wouldnt go back to be honest, got harassed by Leonardo every day about a timeshare presentation I`ve had better food in jail

Great facilities, nice food, and beautiful beach. Had a great time. A tip: do not let the restaurant concierge guys sit you and tell you about their time share...a total waste of time...

Me, my wife and 10-year old son spent 13 days at the Paradisus in July. This was my second visit to Paradisus in the last 9 months and the first for my wife and son. A large ecological reserve is incorporated into the resort. Lots of vegatation compared to the developed portion of the resort. There are an impressive number of palapas around the pools and at the beach for a resort of this size. The buffet food was very good, fresh and with lots of variety. The restaurants were clean and the food was good too...although a little below the quality from 9 months ago. Paradisus staff are exceptional, personable and were very responsive to guest needs. The Kids Zone was excellent, and the staff were fun and energetic - much better than our expereinces at other 4 star resorts. My son had a great time - and is already asking to return next year. There is some construction going on at the resort - and the current prices have been lowered reflecting the inconvenience. You can't here the construction from the rooms, at the pools nor at the beach...so it is not noticeable. I would recommend this resort to anyone seeking a 4 star experience at a resort with motivated and friendly staff at a reasonable price.

This was my 5th time at the Paradisus. I keep comming back because I travel alone and the staff here make me feel at home and treat me like a gueen. I've experienced all areas of the resort from the least expensive rooms to the most expensive, there is very little differense in how you are treated by the amount you spend on your room.

We had a great time! The grouunds are beautiful and the beaches and pools are fantastic. The food could have been better - but other than that - a perfect trip!

This vacations was good. Hotel is good and the staff are very friendly. They always try to sell you a timeshare on the Hotel, that's the worse part. Food and beverages, good.

Awesome trip with the family. Resort is gorgeous and very luxurious. Kids and adults had a great time.
