Dominican Republic Holidays

Avoid buildings 15 & 16 (on the edge of the resort) as there is a service road behind them that connects the facilities. Noise from service vehicles, workers and trolleys starts as early as 6. Friendly and pleasant service surpasses this inconvenience however.

Spent the day there as a day guest. Good buffet for lunch, cocktails were good too - lovely beach but most of the shade occupied by hotel guests.

[This is a real review, not auto-generated like many of them I believe are here] Non-VIP, Superior Deluxe, 2 adults Overall, I think this is a 3* hotel, not really 5*. Our stay has been pleasant as we did not look for luxury, but there are a couple of things worth calling out: Positives: [++] The resort is big with many cool amenities (multiple restaurants / snack bar / buffet). You won't be bored even if you don't leave the hotel at all. [++] Buffet food is solid, with lots of options and good quality. There's also the option to book the Japanese / Mexican / Brazilian restaurant for dinner. [++] The superior deluxe room is spacious and clean, although it could benefit from renovation. Areas of improvement: [--] Some staff will try tricking you to sign up for a free VIP breakfast, but it's a scam to attend a 1hr presentation about travel deals. We declined it, and they kept insisting. Bad customer experience. Save yourself some time and don't fall for this. [--] The beach is a bit rocky, so either stick to the pool or bring swimming shoes. The pool is really good. [--] At check-in, we were told that we had to pay for a safe. I think it's better to include this in the price than announce it as a surprise.

Hyatt has taken it over and fixing things for the better Not a 5 star facility but a good value for the price.

Now its "sunscape dominicus la romana" ( Hyatt group). Nice hotel ( still renovating after the brand Change. Terrible service/Staff. Slow, incompetent, Many Times nowhere to be seen, namely in pool, terrible free towel policy, making people reserve lots of sunbeds in pool and beach ( and dont use it) Making very very hard to find a free sunbed. Hyatt people: get your stuff together, fast, else this Will be a flop. For the time, the worst 5 start hotel experience in DR ( been in dominican republic Many Times)

Nicole McQuillen

Was a great place to get away with friends & family! Food was good, buffet was always stocked with lots of variety. Not great, but consistent. Al a Cartes were also good, Italian, Mexican & Tapinyaki Restaurant (hibachi tables) were a great evening/eating experience! Beach is beautiful and you can walk for miles in both directions! Resort grounds were very well maintained. Rooms were basic but clean! If there was one thing I could change, it would be the pillows. Very lumpy! Pools could be cleaned a little more often and earlier (but all good). We are early risers and had to sit around and wait until 7am before you could get coffee anywhere! Would be nice if the lobby bar was open earlier or had a help yourself coffee station! Internet was very spotty...very hard to find a consistent connection and no chance in the evenings when everyone was in the lobby area trying to connect! Don't count on having a good connection. English was the minority language here and it was sometimes very hard to communicate with staff. (Not judging, I know we are in a different country, just stating the facts). Lots of Europeans, French especially. I am not sure I would go back here, but I don't regret this trip at all! Lots of fun had by all!! It was a good getaway!

An experience to remember. Room 1111 smells like raw sewerage. We had rat visit us in the middle of the night. My friend woke me up at 2:30 in the morning because she heard a noise. I turned on the light to see what it was. I then preceeded to the bathroom to check out if the noise was from there. She started screaming as the rat jumped down from the dresser and ran down the hall towards the bathroom. I started screening and then the rat turned around and ran under the bed. The front desk service was called. We waited on our bed for 45 min. No one showed up. I personally went to the lobby to see if I could get someone to check out the room. Finally after a long drawn out process someone came. He checked everything and said that there was nothing, the rat was not there. I had three more nights before we left for home. I didn't sleep very well after this. We were afraid of it, the rat, returning. The room stunk as well. Breathing was an issue because of the extreme stench of feces. What a horrible holiday. Thanks sunwing for representing such a place.

Good resort, good food, friendly staff, the Haitian people speak French and English which helps a lot if you don't speak Spanish. We went with our 2yr old and it was great for small families with young children. The beach access isn't the greatest as they seem to be renovating and cutting down the trees. There's an excellent restaurant down the beach called Captain Cook. I highly recommend it if you like seafood. The weather was excellent and the sea water was blue 💙.

Wilson Colome

This hotel was surprisingly great for our family of six including two kids 8 and 10 years old. Despite all the bad reviews we read, this hotel has a lot to offer for a 4 star resort. The food is quite good with a big variety, we had an issue with rooms the first night and it was resolved the next day. Great location, service (bars and restaurants), staff very nice. The animation hands down, Francisco is the best charismatic and energetic guy I ever seen. I highly recommend this place, we are coming back here for sure.

Peter K

Rooms were dated but clean. Staff just don't seem to care whether you're there or not. Very difficult to engage staff in the social aspect. Very reserved. Grounds were picturesque, and super clean . Food left much to be desired. Repetitive, mostly lukewarm to cold. One day you'll have good coffee, the next, either mud or dishwater. I was disappointed.

Lindsay Couto

The beach is large with lots of chairs, it’s honestly spectacular. The pools are a great layout for families although they were far from clean and if you want a shady area to sit you have to go out at about 5 am to mark your spot. The food was enjoyable and the a la cart restaurants were very good. It was difficult to get an early reservation in order to eat before the babies had to go to bed, you have to go down to guest services very early and request this and then go back later in the day to confirm. The service was overall quite poor, that’s not to say all employees were unhelpful but it was a mixed bag depending on who you got. I had to fill bottles of milk for my baby and many employees would give me a carton for the room but I did have one woman flat out refuse and only offered me a cup which wouldn’t fill even the whole bottle. Also there is no non-dairy milk option so if you or your child has an allergy this would be an issue. We were travelling with family and young babes so we asked for rooms to be close together ahead of time and were refused any help both ahead and at the resort when we landed. We also asked to reserve cribs and we’re told they were first come first serve so we had to bring our own travel cribs to ensure our babes had a safe place to sleep. If we didn’t ask ahead we could have shown up with no where for our babies to sleep. The rooms are dated which wasn’t a big deal to us but the toilets didn’t flush very well and the room wasn’t always cleaned daily, we each had a day where a room wasn’t cleaned or towels weren’t replaced. Overall the resort is a great size and the pools and amenities are great for young families but I would say the service really needs to level up to match the same standard.

If you plan on booking here I would suggest you read!! Let’s be honest if you have travelled anywhere outside of North America you need to understand life is slightly different and you will need to navigate. The pros - the outside of the resort is amazing, the beach, the pool great. Highly recommend spending a bit extra and having a beach front dinner it’s excellent. Pizza at lunch is a must, Japanese and French, if you eat at the buffet line up at the hot plates. Learn to tip it goes along way, everyone was kind and helpful. The rooms were fine, for the cost - sure could use some upgrades but nothing horrible that the view didn’t take away. The pool and resort activities were excellent and lots always happening. The cons - there is really no amenities in the room, no beer or alcohol, cleaning needs improvement the girl came in the room daily and made the beds but often left towels on the floor and did not even take out garbage. There were no decor on the bed daily and even though we said we were on a honeymoon nothing was done for us. Our biggest complaint was the buffet, all other things were not a big deal. I think the owner / managers need to read the consistent feedback and implement some tweaks overall it’s worth the price of paradise for a week. If you are a complainer and have high expectations I’d suggest perhaps you move along. If you want a week away and can navigate the Caribbean time, and enjoy the pool and beach amenities you will be fine!

Shaun Taylor

Excellent service.... all the staff was welcoming and helpful.... the ocean was amazing (if you like a little waves)... shout out to Omar at the PM bar, he is the best.... the overall atmosphere of the resort was unreal... laid back but wide open and free... most relaxing time of my life... thanks for the memories.

Karla Park

The location was amazing, with a beautiful white sand beach. It is very convenient and easily accessible for everyone. The wait staff and entertainment crew was superb! It was a great time and place to go! Rooms need to be upgraded but overall the amenities around the resort was clean and in good shape.

Paula Price

The grounds are clean and well kept. The ocean view, breath taking. This is an older hotel with horrible plumbing. During our week here we had the same sand filled sheets, singular dirty coffee cup ( when we asked for a cup for my spouse, we were told “no”). The guest services guy was aweful. We attempted to get dinner reservations our first 4 nights and were told everything was booked ( getting to his office at 07:05 in the morning). As soon as he wasn’t working, the ladies were able to get us booked for meals. The general buffet was good and well stocked. The guest services man is the primary reason we will chose another hotel when we return to DR. The spa was clean and a nice experience as was the private lobster dinner on the beach (not booked by guest services) Most of the consensus of the American guests was this is not an American friendly hotel. We weren’t sure if it was nationality or that we didn’t purchase the 100k “vacation club” that was aggressively perused day 1. As many reviews state, there is a lot of diversity at the hotel and almost all guests were pleasant. Few staff spoke English. Most of the bar tenders mix light, but we are very light drinkers, so this was fine. We stuck with bottled water and had no digestive concerns. There is a medical clinic on site, but never had to be used. We were locked out of our room on 4/5 occasions. We did note day care and children activities which would be nice for young parents

Dylan Coady

Absolutely love the occidental Punta Cana ! This was our second time visiting in the last 7 years and it was just as good as the first time! The food in the buffet always changed daily and you could find something for everyone,The drinks at the bar were always good and the service was amazing. Night time they always had great shows/entertainment on the main stage,the beaches were absolutely breathtaking and super clean. Rooms were also super clean and up to date,The restaurants on the resort were always nice and each one had a different vibe with great food. Customer service was always great and anything we needed was delivered right away. The pool swim up bar was a great addition and the bartender Yessi was AMAZING! Super friendly and knew exactly how to make the drinks perfectly. The spa worker Nelson was also super sweet and we were taken care of perfectly! Definitely would come back!

STEPHANIE GOLDBACH

Beautiful beach. For the cost of 2080 for 2 people it is worth every dime. Do your homework on how to speak Spanish or bring your Google translating app. Food is good and fresh. Beds are comfortable. Alcohol is reasonably good. It is worth upgrading to premium for the bar on the beach or you are waiting 45 minutes at the buffet bar. Hotel staff is friendly if you treat them with respect. Mexican Italian and steakhouse all good. We haven't tried oriental or seafood. The entertainment team is great and they keep you going. Rosaura, from entertainment team was spectacular, very friendly and welcoming. Ask for her when you go.We will be back. Don't go to occidental club presentation unless you're really interested.

Nekie

Booked this trip as a birthday surprise gift and did not regret it at all. We did the Royal Level and from arriving at the hotel that’s the experience we arrived to the moment we left, everything was great not to mention every staff member was friendly, and helpful. On arrival we were shuttled from the lobby to our private section of the hotel for check-in and briefing then showed to our amazing suite. The room was clean and just amazing, with a lovely view and wonderful amenities, which was cleaned and stocked daily. The resort itself was beautiful and so much fun, there was nothing that was needed that was not available. They had a buffet, several restaurants, snack bars and bars that had great food and drinks, the food was great quality, and the portions were really good. Most restaurants were open for lunch but required a reservation for dinner and we were lucky to try all but one restaurant during our trip. The employees at each area of the resort were super welcoming, friendly and helpful. I have to give a shout out to the manager of the Royal Level Luis and the hotels Guest Service Manager Betania they both made our trip so comfortable and enjoyable. This was by far my best vacation and would definitely visit again.

Chalena Thomas

Honest Review is that, the food is okay, the customer service is also okay…. but the entertainment is quite amazing. that recreation team ensures that there is always something to do regardless of weather age or language. I would considered coming back solely based on that! the foam party was the highlight of my trip. They are carrying the resort on their back

Orquidea Sanchez

My family and I were there for 3 days and 2 night at the royal level rooms. The services was amazing. They were friendly and very attentive, specially Julian. Anything we needed no matter the time he was there. The food was good. We had our restaurant separate from the rest of the hotel but still were able to enjoy the whole hotel. I will recommend this hotel definitely will be coming back.

Stan M

Spent a week here with family $325 per night per person and compared to our previous stay in Dominicans Amber Green resort this one was not as nice, the price was double and the quality was 30% less. Found the staff to be not as friendly . The grounds were beautiful and the food was good but nothing special, the a la cart dinners were nothing special. The Beach was beautiful! A 10 out of 10. The rooms were a disaster, I’ve never seen a worse layout . There is a tiny toilet room with a semi transparent frosted glass door and the shower beside it the same with a sink between them with no door separating them from the room. No table to place any items on only a single chair. Imagine trying to shower and dress with nothing to place you clothes on or shield you from the other family members in the room. Simply Ridiculous! It seems that there is no ability to do the simple things right. Nothing to circulate the air in the lobby , it felt like you were being smothered in there when there was no natural breeze. Add fans! And the furniture was disgustingly dirty/worn. It looks like they don’t care as long as it is fully booked and they are getting your money. overall a beautiful resort but like I said they need to fix the simple things and this would be a fantastic place.

Heidi Rolleman

Beach is spectacular, you can walk for hours. Nice waves for boogie boards Rooms are nice, had to ask for towels and face cloths a lot. Staff are all very friendly. Great food at buffet and restaurants. Beautiful grounds with flamingos, ducks, geese, turtles, iguanas and peacocks. The entertainment team are so fun!

Amanda Cusson

We had an amazing time at this resort. The bar service from WALL·E G was amazing and so much fun at the pool with Julio animation watching games! Rooms are amazing and it’s a beautiful place to stay.

Anthony Tripodi

First time here, had an amazing time. The animation team was really friendly and made our vacation fun. Special shout out to Julio!! The beach bar had amazing service, Angie Francisco and Angel were always quick and remember my order every time! I will miss them! We will definitely be back!

Dan Deveaux

From day one everyone and everything is fantastic. Room,restaurants, pools, daily and nightly entertainment. The Animation team is Spectacularly Julio made a point of asking us and others if he or the team could do anymore to make our vacation more pleasurable. Julio is a great asset to the Animation Team. Thank you....

Melissa Llanquihuen

I stayed in this hotel back in 2017. I had the time of my life. The pool is amazing and they keep you entertained with fun activities during the day. The buffet is great and we specially enjoyed the restaurants we could book for no extra cost. Food available the whole day and nightlife every night. It was great.

Kofi Osae

Horrible horrible experience. The workers at the front seemed to look down at us and we're extremely dismissive. Either because of our skin color, our accents, who knows. But very poor customer service. The rooms were disgusting. Food at the buffet was gross. Pools and beaches were gorgeous but that was the only positive. I will never return. This resort is definitely a quick/familiar destination spot for locals but NOT for tourists who are used to higher quality vacations. Every other resort in the area was beautiful!! A shame we didn't spend extra dollars to go elsewhere. Unfortunately, I won't be returning to the DR. A lot of anti-black undertones. Shameful.

Aneta Grenda

After flying 10hours from France and not knowing what to expect , I can say that I spent an amazing 10 days vacation in Be Live Collection Adults Only Punta Cana with my mother in every way. The hotel is very clean, cozy,and beautifully designed. The rooms are very spacious, clean and have very comfortable beds. The chefs and the staff are very friendly having always a service with a smile. The food was very fresh and tasty with lots of variety . The beach was beautiful and long , great for walks. In addition the General Manager and Nicolas from the VP desk were very attentive to our needs and made us feel like home. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitively come back even if I have to fly another 10hours ! :) Thank you everybody for making our vacation a very memorable one. Best regards, Aneta G.

Caroline Fawzy

Resort was fun! They had foam parties, large pools, servers and bartenders were great! I enjoyed the a la carte restaurants a lot, the buffet was okay! I did get food poisoning pretty badly for two days - I think from the burger/wing shack. Overall I had a blast though! Resort was beautiful, rooms were large and air conditioning worked well!

Stephanie king

My husband and I stayed at this resort as a last minute booking. The amenities were good but the rooms could have been much better, there are no doors to the shower so water was all over the bathroom floor. I definitely don't consider it a 5 star resort nor is it adults only. The beach was nice but you can not enjoy due to several different people coming up to you trying to sell you things, it became very annoying so we didn't spend much time on the beach at the resort at all. The bartenders at the bar closer to the pool were amazing, the bartenders closer to the lobby not so much. The buffet is pretty good, there are other restaurant options but you have to make a reservation in the mornings for dinner or you will not be able to get in.

Erica Grigley

A resort that is beautiful and relaxing. The location is perfect. Easy to get to from the airport. I need to give a shout out to Luz in the buffet restaurant. and Kalvin at the restaurant The Grille and to Fransisco the bartender at the pool bar. The three of you were polite, friendly and welcoming. The Hilton team should be proud to have the three of you on their team. 100% will recommend this resort to family and friends.

David Sovereen

My best all-inclusive experience ever. Been to Barcelo, Club Med, and a few others. Restaurant access was easy, no lines. Bar service came poolside and did excellent. Special shout out to the ladies who work at the Enclave pool on the Family side… they are so sweet and took amazing care of us. I lovehow the staff say “thank you” or “my pleasure” with their hand over their heart. Being my first time to Dominican Republic, I didn’t know if this was a DR thing or a thing at this property… it’s just at this property, but it feels sweet and the staff are all friendly and smile. Food quality was really good. Beach area is good. Water park is nice. I would definitely consider a repeat visit.

george davis

Many great things to share about this resort. Impeccable grounds, outstanding staff, food is good, (not great), the adult side pools with swim up bars are great. My son had his destination wedding here yesterday, and I must say, the staff exceeded all expectations! It was amazing! The resort sits on beautiful waters with nice beaches and no public traffic on the beach trying to sell stuff. All in all, it's an outstanding resort. We've done Sandels in the past, and this was better. Many activities to keep you entertained! Now, some constructive input: the pools and pool bars close at 6 pm. It's entirely too early! They should be open until at least 10 pm, especially on the adult only side! No microwave in the suite we had No one is verifying if you're entitled to Enclave areas, which is a paid for upgrade. We were never asked. A smoothie bar would be a great addition! A better beer selection at the bars, basically its Présidente or nothing. Beautiful place!!!,

Gwen DT

Beautiful resort great service.. Bayahibe beach never disappoints.. The Waterpark is also so much fun for not only kids but for adults as well. One of our favorite resorts in RD

Kimberly “Kimmie” Parks

I am absolutely amazed at the rave reviews this place has gotten. It was the worst location ever!. It is no where near the beach. The shuttle which takes you to the beach runs between 10-5p.m. There are 2 pools on the property which closes at 6 p.m. There is 1 restaurant and a pool side pop-up type dining. Very limited options. If you get hungry or want snacks late evening, you are simply out-of luck. There is nothing but construction going on around the property. You won't be site seeing, shopping, or anything remotely entertaining to pass time. They do have a friendly helpful staff. The rooms are definitely spacious and cleanish. Our room was next door to one which was being renovated, so it was super dusty in our entryway. Everything looked clean, but when the towel was on the floor in front of the shower it was covered in filth from the floor. The floors could definitely use a little soap and water. While there, we were unable to access the gym due to a malfunction of the fingerprint machine. The staff member would not unlock the door for our early morning workout. Yes he had the key. There is no early morning breakfast. Breakfast starts at 8am. The other restaurants in the courtyard are not included in your package. They are not affiliated with the resort. We were unable to get wash cloths once we arrived to our room. We called the dek several times and never received them. We decided to end our stay after the first night. It was just not a good place to spend your hard earned money. If you are thinking of staying here don't! I promise you will thank me later. The photos are misleading at best.

Nicole Clark

They have some amazing energy at this resort. Durracel and Sopito made our stay here with their great energy and were so welcoming. They always had different activities and made sure to engage their guests and treat them like family. The food was amazing, there was entertainment in the lobby bar every night and great service all around. This is definitely a place to come and visit. We had a blast and didn't want to leave but hope to come back soon.

Carissa Shaffer

I can’t believe there is even one positive review on here. I hope people read this and never have to experience this. Just don’t go!! So many of these pictures on here are not this resort. And if they are, they’re highly photoshopped There was construction EVERYWHERE. our foyer to enter our room had no electricity, so we had to use our phone flashlight to see our room door. There was only ONE key to share between 3 people. If you looked at the ceiling in the day, it was all ripped out and falling apart Upon entering, it was very musty and moldy smelling. What’s worse is the ceiling actually had fulll blown black mold on the walls and ceiling INSIDE the room. No phones in the room. No safe. Beds are TERRIBLE. No WiFi WiFi is spotty around the “resort” if you want to even call it that. There were no friendly staff. The outdoor pool bar was not open until 11a and upon arrival at even 1040am. There were employees sitting around doing nothing. When we approached the counter, we were never greeted and always given a grumpy attitude. Seemed everyone hated being there. We were given 3 towels. And yelled at later in the day because the towel lady thought we were only given 2. She was screaming at us, telling us she’s going to take our towel and charge us because she remembers only giving us 2. The service was horrible. If you wanted a drink, it would be about 15 mins if you’re even greeted. Most the time we had to flag them down and ask to get a drink. There was no background music anywhere on the premises. It was like a ghost town. If you want to go to the beach, you have to shuttle there and hope you get a ride back. I called and ask if this was beach front access and Monster reservation group said yes. But this is not true. We spoke to other guests and their terrible experiences there to. We ended up checking out early and spending more just to go to another resort. I am asking for a refund on our taxes and fees AND trip cost. This was not only in-pleasant, it was actually unlivable conditions with all the mold and construction.

Gene Waring

Compared to other all inclusive resorts, this one rates low due it's location not being at the beach. The food was buffet style and good, but the same things every morning. They had an Italian restaurant that was open about every other night that was good. Most go here to be sold a vacation package. The value of this package is you don't pay maintenance fees, and you don't really buy into the resort. In fact, the pricing structure discourages you from every wanting to return to this resort, but you buy weeks in I.I. , which after all the costs, is about $670 a week at places that can be $400-$600 a night. I can't use my package until the membership is all activated in a few weeks, if if it doesn't all work as they sold us on, I will let you know.

Gabriel Morgan

We came as a couple in January 2024. This resort was somewhat newly taken over with new management by Sports Illustrated. It is all-inclusive, and the service was fantastic with lots of attention to the guests in the bars and restaurants. Food is gourmet and delicious. Resort has a Spanish village theme, and there are plenty of walking paths. Gym on site as well. Shops and convenience store in resort if you need essentials or like shopping. Only 10 minutes from PUJ Airport. Sopita, the salsa dancing coach, was really fun and always had a great attitude. You have to say hi to him up by the pool if you have a chance. This resort is located on a bay with a marina view, but the 10-minute free shuttle ride will take you round-trip for a beach visit (Shuttle travels every hour). Beach is safe with food and drink at extra cost, but very nice and only 10 minutes away from the resort. You may bring your own food and drink. Free chairs. The resort at the time we visited, seemed to be somewhere near 50-66 % capacity with guests, so it was a really nice experience with lots of attention from the service staff. Nice cigar bar on site for extra cost with nice drinks and cigars available. Evening entertainment shows and a DJ Edwin party after, with lots of good energy. Have patience with check-in on arrival, as it takes a while, but you can eat at the buffet or drink at the bar while waiting. Overall, a great experience and at a good value. This location is a bit less party lifestyle, and more for couples or family. I highly suggest it. Be sure and plan your airport transportation when leaving the resort, at least 1 day before departure.
