A larger size resort. Guests are transported by Trams, that run frequently. This was my first trip to Punta Cana, and I loved the ocean, the weather, and our room was comfortable. All the Villa style rooms look the same from the outside. So take note of were your room is. It may be difficult to locate for the first... More

There are trams which run every 10 or 15 minutes around the hotel and to the beach. Never a problem getting anywhere in the resort. Rooms were clean and comfortable, execept for a few rooms just a few feet from the trams. The water pressure in the room was excellant. This was my second trip to this resort (my 12th... More

Found this to be a wonderful resort, very relaxing and spotlessly clean. Food in the buffet restaurant was good but the choice of a-la-carte restaurants was brilliant, we enjoyed the Japanese and the Steak house the most and booked 3 for the first week via e-mail before we left home. It is a huge complex but the buses make it... More

we traveled with "relaxing" we second his comments. several other items may help your trip to be fun. when you ask for a drink, you should also ask for alcohol. they do not always put it in if you don't ask. take a double insulated mug with you and your drinks will not melt so quickly. there are musquitos at...

My whole family (six adults and one toddler) visited this resort for a family vacation. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed it. The buffet was very good, the beach was great, and the pools were wonderful. There were shows, a casino, and plenty to do. Some people say the resort is too big, but I actually liked how... More

A group of 18 adults travelled to this resort for my wedding, and had a truly unforgettable week. Our room (King bed, 2nd floor) was perfect, whether that was because we were the bride and groom, or a coincidence, is anyone's guess. Some of the others in our party had some room "issues" (wrong bed size, requested floor not available)... More

We had a great time at this resort and came back to Montreal with a great tan and a relaxed mind. We booked with Voyages Bergeron, the option Royal Golden (villa close to the beach, bottle of rhum in the room and VIP check-in). Travelled with Air Transat without a single complaint. The resort is HUGE and it took around... More

Upon arrival, was told that we never booked the top floor King bed room..so they sent us to the end of the resort to a bottom floor room, 2 double beds, in the smoking area. After fighting with the manager for 1/2 an hour, our room was "magically" available...even with paperwork they still tried to tell me I didn't book... More

We are very grateful we were able to escape the cold weather and get some R and R. We travelled with sunquest through west jet. The plane was 2 and a half hours late due to motor problems. No food served while waiting and none left even to purchase. That made for over 9 hours before we had a meal.... More

This resort may at times scare you by its vastness, but after just one day, keeping in mind that at one end is the beach and the other is the main lobby its impossible to get lost. this resort is exception in its cleanliness and the staff no matter where you went were more than accomodating and made you feel...
