“Perfect beauty and relaxation”
This was a blind pick that turned into a pearl of a vacation. The hotel is situated within its beautiful natural environment so completely that you wake up to the sea, the sky and the palms and not to a piece of man-made architecture. The extended beautifully maintained beaches allowed swimming for miles down the coast-line. Water-sports equipment was mostly included and easily available. The resort itself is so extensive it continues to unfold and offer new restaurants and walks day after day. There is an ancient fruit tree garden, a secluded lagoon you can swim in...and everywhere staff who seem to have been born smiling. But night-life and entertainment is not what it's about, so if that's your interest--stay in the casinos down the road.
“Loved Punta Cana!”
We stayed at Punta Cana Resort for 4 nights in a beachside villa and had a great time (2 parents, 1 15 yr old). The place was spotless, a/c worked well, comfy beds. The staff was helpful & most could speak enough English so that we could be understood. No complaints with food or bottled water. THere is a choice of two restaurants and buffet included with meal plan , buffet style of food changes each night (Mexican, Italian, Int'l) and features great smoothie bar at breakfast. THe restaurants are quite lovely, 20 foot ceilings, piano player in background, and although not an extensive menu the food was excellent. The black bean soup with rice and onions was terrific. The water sports were fun,kayaking, snorkeling ( go over to CLub Med to see anything worthwhile snorkeling) and sailing all easily available. THe beach felt private, not crowded at all. The water is beautifully turquoise. My only word of advice would be to remember that while in the DR you are in a third world country; although the service is near perfect at the resort, we needed to remember that not everyone works at the harried pace of Americans and if you will slow yourself down & not expect the stellar service of a NYC 5 star hotel, you will not be disappointed. These people work very hard (you will see the same faces in a multitude of jobs throughout your stay) and a tip assures you almost devoted service. One last thing...bring along repellant with Deet; mosquitos not too bad but you will need it.

“Can't wait to go back”
Eventhough, I booked this hotel in less than 1 day in advance it was a good hotel. It's not all inclusive but maybe that's the best part of it because not enough people were there. People are very helpful, the rooms are great but the t.v. needs improvement, but really who has time to watch t.v. cause you have a lot of things to do. Make sure to visit Franco's Pizza right next to the pool the Buffalo Pizza it's delicious. And take advantage of the free non motorized sports its worth it.
“Extraordinary service”
My friend and I enjoyed our stay. We thought the staff was the best asset of the hotel. Employees were friendly, accomadating and respectful. Our standard room was spacious, clean,comfortable and with a pleasant view of palm trees and turquoise sea. The buffet was tasty with variety. There were ample activities during the day. The nature reserve was an interesting activity in itself. We will return!
“Workers are very pleasant!”
Very good hotel. We will be back.
“Outstanding Location, Facility and Services Were Way Beyond Expectation!”
The Punta Cana Resort was one of the biggest surprises in my life. The hotel was luxurious and the services and facility outstanding. The friendliness of the staff and their helpfulness in all ways was unsurpassed in any of my previous experiences. I recommended PC to anyone looking for a relaxing and refreshing stay in paradise.
“A beautiful trip altogether”
While the drinks are not included in the all-inclusive plan, this tends to weed out the "spring breakers". The hotel was beautiful- we did not get our request for one king-sized bed, but my boyfriend and I both agreed that we wouldn't trade anything for our beautiful view of the ocean. The weather was amazing the whole time we were there- bring high # of sunscreen beacuse the gift shop sells it for a high price. The food was wonderful at the two restaurants and all staff members were nice and helpful, just remember to tip everyone- even a few dollars, they are very appreciative. We would definately return to this beautiful resort!
“amazing resort!”
We went to this resort with my girlfriend to relax...it's the place! Not crowd at all, food good, sailing activities free, and beach so beautiful. Everything is much better than the pictures posted. The only down side is that drinks, lunch and extra activities are not included.
“Beautiful & Relaxing”
Our experience was excellent. The beach is beautiful and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Nothing is rushed so leave your watch at home and relax. Food was good (not great) at the buffet but plenty of variety to please all. The spa is top notch and a massages is a must, it was great. Golf course is very scenic and looks well maintained (although we didn't golf). All in all this place is a great value for a quiet and relaxing getaway!
