Serene Punta Cana resort attracts with spa services, nearby golf course

Wonderful vacation!
Great hotel and resort! Very beautiful, spacious, well kept, extremely clean. Rooms not quite as fancy looking as advertised, but clean and functional with complimentary coffee and bottled water every day. Very efficient air conditioning. No minibar or fridge, but overall good rooms to relax after a hot day. Excellent breakfast buffet(included) right by the beach. Beautiful beaches with plenty of chairs and towels, food and drinks in close proximity. Very quiet stretches of beach within walking distance - picture perfect! Several restaurants available with very good food at regular western restaurant prices, neither cheap nor overly expensive. Attentive and polite service staff without exception. A total pleasure to be at this hotel. Two caveats: 1. Rather quiet and family / couple oriented hotel. Perfect in our case, but completely wrong choice for spring break madness-seeking folks. 2. Guest service staff with limited organizational skills and efficiency. Scheduled shuttles and taxis should be double/triple checked.

Punta Cana Resort
When we first arrived at the hotel, we noticed that the room was damp. We just assumed that it was because the AC was off. However, we realized it was because there was a problem with the room. When we woke up, there were puddles of water in the bathroom, near the sliding doors, and on some of the walls. We complained to the staff and they moved us to another room. The pool area was very nice, but the bikes were broken. Some of the staff in the resort store tried to overcharge us for chips and some other items. We had to correct them because we had stopped by the store earlier and asked about some of the prices. That was how we knew that they were trying to cheat us. I also lost my cell phone and I tried to talk to the staff about it. I had to wait for someone to arrive at the courtesy desk and when they did, that was another problem. One person didn't speak English, so I had to wait for someone else. This person would arrive an hour later. In conclusion, I was finally able to make a report, but I had to leave the next day.

What nice people!
All the employees are incredibly nice and make you feel awsome. There were a lot of mosquitoes, so bring your own OFF unless you'd like to pay $30.00 for a small bottle. Rent a car if you want to go see other places otherwise you will have to rely on locals to find your way around which it's difficult unless you speak their language. You don't have to worry about buying pesos...the exchange rate varies everywhere..so just forget about counting every peso...just enjoy yourself. The Hotel is beautiful if you are planning to rest and eat...wonderful breakfast.

Hotel Punta Cana
The Hotel is situated in a vast resort complex near a golf course comprised essentially of housing that has been sold off to individual ownership. The resulting hotel environment is that of a ghost town. There is a shuttle to nearby commerce and restaurants. The Hotel suffered from huge amounts of amased rotting seaweed (described as unusual). We stayed overnight for a stopover between linked flights and the hotel met its purpose. For a holiday, I would not recommend this hotel when so many others are in full swing nearby.

Punta Cana village near the airport has five restaurants and a Wendys. The portuguese restaurant offers authentic and good quality cuisine, well ahead of the theme restaurant food served by the all inclusive hotels in the area.

Relaxing in paradise
We had 7 full days to enjoy in Paradise, the rooms were up to date and really clean. Everything was great, morning breakfast and activities that you could sign up for while we were there like; scuba diving, swimming with stingrays and sharks, it was all amazing. The prices for lunch/dinner and gift shop were spendy but it was all located in the gated resort.
