Punta cana, Dominican Republic: Average Review Ratings

Weather

It was soooo hot !! I have travelled to Cuba, Mexico, lived in Eleuthera, Bahamas & Provo, Turks & Caicos (6 mths/each), & I never burn ! But Punta Cana is hot ! Wear sunscreen ! And lots of it on that 1st & 2nd day. We burned our first day, but we know now .. it's a little more south than where I've been before.

Holiday

Exceptional. The beach is the best we've ever seen. Bavaro Beach, wow. Great waves, white sand, turquoise waters. Can't ask for anything more. Lots of sand, n space, n palm trees, n chairs. Just beware of the time share sellers, they nab you when you're a whitey on your 1st day. We wasted a whole morning touring a hotel, they wanted us to buy for a few grand, we said no, by the end they were asking for just $100 ... very fishy. We will not get nabbed by them again !

Just arrived back in the U.K. The weather was brilliant: would certainly recommend this time of the year.

Holiday

Absolutely FANTASTIC the hotel Majestic Colonial was faultless staff could not do enough you became part of their familly, the food was exceptional with so much choice. Accomodation was excellent and the mais service was something special fresh flowers every day with different arrangements on the bed daily. It was so good we are going there again next year. I can't rate it high enough

Weather

It rained on the first day at around 4pm, we had some cloudy days although the clouds were welcomed as we were in need of a break from the sun.

Holiday

This was my first holiday ever and there was nothing that I could find fault with. The staff bend over backwards to make sure you are well catered for and The Iberostar Bavaro gets my thumbs up.

Dolphin explorer, (expensive and the dvd is a rip off).

Weather

The weather was very hot but cloudy. It did rain nearly everyday we were there but the sun came back out pretty much straight away.

Holiday

I just came back from a week at the Riu Palace hotel in Puna Cana. The holiday was brillant, lovely weather, the hotel was brill, the rooms got cleaned everyday and the people were nice and made you feel very welcome.

The only downfall was the food - it was the same everyday.

I would recommended this to couples and families.
