My wife and I just returned from the Ambar on Jan.4/09 and had a wonderful holiday. The check into the hotel went very smoothly with no problems. The room was everything that I expected and upon arrival was decorated in balloons as it was my birthday the following day. The beach area was what we felt the nicest along that... more

Just returned from 7 nights at Majestic Elegance. If I had had my way, it would have only been 1 night at Majestic and 6 nights somewhere else. There are literally too many things to list that went wrong, but in short, do not expect the room you booked and paid for (in our case 3 Ocean Front Suites in... more

Just a liitle overview. We travel twice a year. We are a family of 5 Husband, wife, 19,17,14 - 2 girls and a boy. We always take 2 rooms. I was so nervous aftering reading all the negative reviews. I was not sure what to expect, we had been to some other all inclusives Moon Palace in Rivierva Maya and... more

Kudos: 1) The food was very good in the buffet area. Did not try the a la carte. New Year's Eve dinner was spectacular. 2) Generally, the staff was polite and responsive. The front desk was very helpful and friendly. 3) The grounds were very pleasantly groomed and maintained by the staff. 4) The beach and park north of the... more

We have just got back from our holiday at the Majestic, we stayed ther from 18th Dec 08- 1st Jan 09 and it was the best christmas and new year. The hotel is amazing and the people are lovley, our room was made up everyday and the bed turned down. They do begin the house keeping early but they will... more

My boyfriend and I have visited the Dominican Republic before. We pretty much know what to expect when booking a stay at a "4 star all inclusive resort" down there. Clearly, the star system that we use in the US doesn't translate but we're not picky so we went ahead and booked at the Caribe Club Princess even though we... more

what a bummer - looked great on the website, decent to very good reviews here on trip advisor, but once we arrived i knew immediately that it was a huge mistake. the rooms are beyond weathered, the balcony depressing with rusty, chipped furniture. we lasted all of 2 hours before we called our travel agent and insisted that she find... more

Our family of 5 just got back from an amazing week at the Ocean Blue Resort!!! It was everything we hoped for.........plus more!! My husband and I are 47 and 49, our children are 20, 18 and 14. There is something for everyone, no one could be bored unless they really tried!! The Pools: Spectacular!!! Huge!!! We spent the majority... more

The grounds at the Ambar were beautiful as much time was taken to maintain the property--The beach was also breathtaking, and seemed better then the Riu next door 2 things that dissappointed--- The food was average, as many have stated here--The buffet was the same every night--I STRONGLY recommend as soon as you arrive to get reservations for the japanese,... more

After reading a few reviews was leery of making a reservation, but was delightfully surprised. 1. The rooms were great. I stayed in a junior suite (a master bedroom, bath and front entrance area that holds two twin beds) and the beds, air conditioning and bathroom (my big three) were great. No bugs or hard nights sleep. Plus, had a... more

Peye. Brampton. Ontario, What a disappointment. Just came back from a week stay at Bavaro Princess, D.R, big disapointment, before booking the trip for nineteen of my family, I read the reviews on this resort,some were good and some were bad, since it is a Five Star resort, we are not very picky peaple, and have traveled to Punta cana... more

My husband and I just got back from a one-week trip to this resort. Our vacation did not start well. This hotel OVERBOOKS the nicest rooms. When we arrived they immediately downgraded us b/c they did not have the room we booked available. There was also an issue of miscommunication b/w our travel agent and the hotel and the hotel... more

Travelled to Barcelo Premium with husband and teenager from Dec 24 to Dec 31. Flew Skyservice from Toronto. Plane and bus to resort were fine, no problems. Upon arrival we went to the reception area which had 2 staff and no customers. After a few minutes one of the staff took a box of envelopes and directed everyone down a... more

There were 7 in our family group aged from 10 to 67 and everyone had a great time. There has been lots of comments made on other reviews about the food not being good but I have to say compared to other all inclusives we have been on the food here was great. No its not like the food you... more

In my years of travel (six countries this year) this is the first time I have felt compelled to write a review on accommodations. Returning to the Dominican Republic for a weeklong stay over the New Year was an exciting prospect and this new resort promised to exceed the experience of our previous trip. The joke that this hotel was... more

EdenH Real - Punta Cana Dec 28 - Jan 04, 2009 Be advised if you are considering this resort for your next destination vacation and are expecting a 5 star experience with service for the premium rates one spends for this resort, in particular, the Mirage Conceriege room category upgrade which we had upgraded to. In our experience during the... more

We stayed at the majestic for the second time and it was even better than the first! I don't know why anyone would have anything negative to say about this resort. The resort itself is beautiful as well as all the people working there. Everyone is so friendly and attentive. The hospitality is amazing! The Animation Team was great, especially... more

Ok, so this was the one thing I wanted to do on my honeymoon if possible and there it was! Yes, it is pricey and yes some people will not be happy with the time, although when we were done it seemed like we were there much longer then we were. The animals were nice. We even swam with a... more

We just returned home from this amazing place. We had the best time there. I don't want to ramble on about every detail just that our experience here was fantastic and i can't wait to go back again. We had read many reviews before we went on this trip and the people that are complaining would probably complain regardless of... more
