Don't let the pictures on the web fool you. While the outside grounds and beaches, while basic are ok, the rooms are beyond terrible. I stayed in a "suite" that was about as bad a room as I've been in. No water pressure in the shower upstairs and ants and bugs in the bathroom downstairs were the starting point. The... More

We just left there a few days ago. This place is nothing like what the reviews have made it out to be. The pictures must be taken from a few rooms at the resort because our room was like a MOTEL. The air conditioner leaked right in the middle of the entrance, the television was a television from the early... More

A really hard place to give an advise. One the one hand: Within a huuuuge, decent, lovely park, merely ten minutes from the airport. Decent architecture, nice buildings, cozy atmosphere, much more relaxed than the mega all-in resorts. Design very green, traditional, with a colonial touch. Nice entrance area, friendly competent checkin. On the other hand: beach is not really... More

Great beaches, golf courses and landscaping. The grounds are great for strolling. Beds are hard, rooms very dated, there seem to be as many golf carts as guests and they are constantly on the move. The breakfast is great. The restaurants very expensive and the free shuttle to the shopping center seems gets you there just fine but you'll be... More

Hotel was in a lovely setting on a large private beach. At first the size of the grounds seemed intimidating, but once you get settled you can see you can walk to most places that you need. Water was beautiful and you could easily swim. They also have the eco nature place to walk which was nice and relazing and... More

We just completed a four night stay at the Hotel Puntacana. The hotel is part of the very large Puntacana Resort which was build in 1969 and continues to add additional features. The hotel was very well designed and the grounds are spectacular. The junior suite we had was large and included an adequet but small bathroom, a large bedroom... More

Just returned from an eleven night stay at the resort. This is our fifth visit and as always, loved it. The staff is always trying to please. The rooms are dated but roomy. Beautiful beaches, especially the cove by the beach restaurant. Golf is fantastic offering 27 holes with the new "Hacienda" and the always wonderful "Tortuga" and "Aricife", each... More

People forget when they go to another country, especially a third world country, that the service standards and star ratings aren't exactly what they would be in America or Canada. That being said, the rooms were clean and well maintained, the grounds were beautifully stunning and the staff were as supportive and accommodating as they could be in all aspects.... More

I had posted a negative comment previously but now that my stay has ended I think I will give this hotel 5 stars for service. It was quick efficient and friendly in all areas. I heard of this hotel group opening up a Sheraton. Now the negative things make more sense...
