Punta Cana resorts

Cons: I didn't like that Wi-Fi was not included with, but at least there is an option.

Cons: Con: Beach had heavy seaweed

Cons: Despite requests from the resort to not "reserve" chairs at the beach and pool, particularly selfish guests would put towels down on the well shaded chairs by the pool and beach before heading to breakfast. Often they would finally show up hours later. Many guests didn't bother to remove their wet towels when they left their chairs so it was difficult to tell which chairs were taken and open.

Cons: Beautiful Resort

Cons: Lack of quality control in the room. no coffee maker, lack of water pressure in bath tub, multiple failures with housekeeping (not leaving towels, not coming at all, taking my robes and not returning them), and room service was spotty with incorrect orders.

Cons: The only issue we had was our A/C slowly dying throughout the course of the week. Someone came to "fix" it, but it wasn't really fixed. This made the last night there some what uncomfortable, but we were on our way out, so didn't really make a big deal of it.

Cons: electrical didn't work in our room in many outlets

Cons: Food was very mediocre. More entertainment is needed as well if to compete with resorts in the other islands and even US resorts. They should have more air conditioning in their bars, lobby, typically sweat in these area from lack of it. Even in the restaurants the temperature could have been cooler.

Cons: Wifi in lobby was spotty, not much to do at night. I felt pressured to tip. No real beach but lots of pools. We paid for ocean view and only saw a tiny peek of one. I would return and recommend it to everyone.

Cons: Resort did not pay any attention to bed preference. All 3 couples in our group requested king beds and all three were placed in rooms with 2 separate double beds. Lighting in the rooms is terrible, you cannot see anything in the mirrors. Drinks are watered down (including white wine) and drinks at the pool bar barely have any alcohol in them. Food is terrible anywhere except the buffets. Everyone on our trip experienced stomach issues at some point in the trip.

Cons: Food wasn't particularly good.

Cons: The Buffets were good and the flavoring was ok, but we from Minnesota have had better.

Cons: Typical bait and switch. Apparently we were told that every single room near or walking distance to the beach was not available. This was the case even though i booked six months ago. They literally put us in the last building on the property. The LAST building. It was even past the reception (or before if your coming off the street). It was like almost next to the street. This is ridiculous. When i spoke to Arnaldo, whom i was told was the manager (yet i saw no identification) he could offer nothing to help. No solution. No discount. No hope. My mother (who has never been to punta cana) is very upset. The hotel expects us to wait 10-15 to take a train to the beach (which is a 10 minute train ride away). If he really was the manager, he didn't solve anything. I am so disappointed at this experience. We are paying over $1,200 USD for 2 nights and this is what we are getting for it. Please avoid this hotel at all cost. If they actually act on it after i post this i will let you all know. Electricity went out on my last day. Some drinks were not included (therefore this was not all inclusive).

Cons: Can't think of anything , looking forward to my next trip In October

Cons: old facilities, need renovation

Cons: I didn't like the food that much. I thought the beef and pork were very tough at most places on the property. The only place that served tender pork was the Asian restaurant (ribs). I also wished that there was more spanish food offered. I did not like that I could not have avocado or maduros being in the Dominican Republic.

Cons: The first day I got to the hotel I was very impressed until I had issues with the wifi service going in and out the whole time. The toilet wasnt working and we had to complain a couple of times before someone actually did something for us and changed our room. We didnt get to try all the restaurants because it was limited amount of people allowed by 8pm.

Cons: Nothing negative to say.

Cons: The water pressure in the room was low later in the day (but I understand, being Dominican myself, that they try to conserve water). And I had some issues with the Wi-Fi signal in my room, outside worked great.

Cons: My first visit was flawless but this time there was a major problem. The A/C failed in our room for 2 days of our visit. It became miserably damp due to the condensation of humidity. The bed was wet. Management never informed us about the problems and left us guessing.

Cons: That I had to leave! =]

Cons: When we arrived they had no reservation for us. They claimed we were booked at the catalonia bavaro not the royal. Our friends that booked with us had a room waiting. I showed them my receipt that clearly stated catalonia royal bavaro. We waited and waited for hours until we were given a room, only to have to move to three rooms until we had a room that the air conditioner worked. Now it's 2am and we are tired. We came to celebrate our anniversary and mentioned it to the front desk when we checked in. I also sent an email to the hotel. We also brought 2 other couples with us to celebrate. Nobody cares. The food was horrible. The pool was chipping paint. Tiles at the pool were broken. The personal service was terrible. We travel around the world and this was the worst I have seen. I can keep going but what's the point!

Cons: I don't review resorts often but the Occidental Punta Cana is an exception to the rest. After flying in, we waited in line to check in for an hour. We were then taken to our dark, dated room that was supposed to have one king bed, only to find two twin size beds pushed together to form one giant bed. Normally this would not be so bad if it were not for the fact that if you laid anywhere near the middle you would simply fall through, as the beds slid apart. The next morning we waited in line for another hour at the front desk in hopes of getting the room we paid for, only to be told to come back tomorrow. Relaxing on the beach was also impossible, since every five minutes a pushy salesman would walk by trying to sell any junk you could need. Again, this would not be so bad if they simply moved along as you said "no thank you" but this was not the case, on one occasion we were lectured for five minutes on how saying "no thank you" was rude. After finally deciding to go to bed, we were awoken at 4am by loud screaming and the sound of a fist fight in the common area of the building our room was in. The third morning we finally got a new room with one king beg, but in this room the safe was broken, and the door knob inside the bathroom was ripped off. Later that night we also learned that the resort turned off the water supply to the room after 1AM. The moral of the story is that if you have a family or want to relax, spend the extra money and stay at a 4 or 5 star resort.

Cons: The Bars could stay open after 10pm... They all close at 10, but the one at the beach, but thats only for Royal Level customers, which, thank goodness we were!

Cons: Bring small bills for tipping :)

Cons: Everything was great.

Cons: Here in the United States most people get an average of 2 weeks off a year. Like many others I carefully plan my vacation and want to enjoy my precious time off from my normal hustle. I am a big fan of the Domincan Repulic with its beautiful beaches and great weather. I have stayed at some awesome Resorts including: Now Larimar, Melia, Barcelo Bavaro etc. Unfortuantley I can not say the same about Bahia. My fiance and I booked this trip to mainly meet with various wedding coordinators because we want to have our wedding in the Dominican Republic. We both have been married before and had 400+ person weddings so we figured if we do it at the DR we can keep it at 150 people. Just counting family and people we are 110% sure they will come we counted 110 definite people coming. So we decided to come to the DR and made an appointment with the Wedding coordinator for the day after we arrived to look at their packages, lucky for us we also made appointments with 5 other venues including a restaurant, a yacht and 3 other resorts. The top of our list was Bahia so we booked a room for two for this past weekend so we can get the full experience before we bring all of our friends and family over. The worst experience of any resort/hotel I have ever stayed at was this passed weekend at Bahia. And to be honest I am not exaggerating. I have stayed at maybe 10+ resorts in the Carribean before and this was the worst. It all began with the Check-in process which took an hour and 10 minutes. I guess I would understand the long wait if there was a huge line however there was no one in line when we got there. The gentlemen that was helping us was so distracted talking with other employees, trying to do multiple things at once, helping other guests that spoke fluent spanish (unlike us) that it took forever. To make matters worst he said he couldnt find our reservation (which eventually he found because he probably wasnt looking at the right place). Now lets talk about the first room they gave us. In the attached pictures you can see how awful our room was. When you go out on the balcony instead of seeing trees, the ocean or a courtyard we saw a huge pile of TRASH. Looks like a dump for the hotel. It was disgusting and smelled. How can you give anyone that room? Shame on you bahia! After complaining and complaining and complaining they finally gave us a "better room" close to the beach (Villa 9). This room was awful, the AC didnt work properly. The shower didnt work properly (the water would come from the top and the bottom thus causing minimal pressure). The tub would not drain water properly. The toilet would not flush and had to mainly be filled. I could keep on going but I think you get the point. At first we called guest services to get it fixed. They sent someone over while we were gone (we had to go meet with a wedding coordinator at a different resort) however nothing was fixed. We called again the next day with them saying they

Cons: I wished the hotel service would have notified me earlier about reservating the restaurants as soon as I got there since mainly all of them get booked quick. I was a bit disappointed with the room service since not once did they restock the refrigerator with drinks like they claim to do. Plus, there was one day in which they didn’t clean the room therefore, I got no towels for the following day and got stuck with wet towels everywhere.

Cons: Don't trust only pictures from hotel You will donate your blood for mosquito at lobby and garden all day You will find underdeveloped facilities in room
