This shopping centre was a stone throw from my hotel and I did some shopping here. For someone that loves plantains; I could not resist taking a photo of these. I like that they have a few food places here. They have a Payless store, souvenir stores to get stuff, a bureau de change inside the supermarket( best rates) ; and you may also change money at the Western Union inside the pharmacy, a spa, and my favourite empanadas place ❤️❤️❤️

Boring and nothing exciting! Don’t waste your time coming here. There are a few stores open and there are not that interesting. The supermarket is the only place that is worth checking out. I was told by our taxi driver that there used to be better stores but that they closed before the pandemic. Go to the Bluemall if you are looking to do real shopping!

Very busy area. Getting there is horrible, the traffic is upsetting. Felt like a battle trying not to get in an accident. Why aren't there street lights? As a tourist, i didnt feel safe driving in the area.

Very nice plaza. Has everything a tourist needs. We shopped in Super Pola and this store was enough for our 1 month stay. I used a shuttle bus that this mall offers. Very convenient.

Very Good placew to go shopping or spend a good time walking around and having good meal !!!!

A good shopping place for Punta Cana area, with couple fastfood restaurants. And nice prices in the stores... smallest IKEA i have seen 😊 the Gym there is with out first class.

Really nice shopping mall, they have a great variety of everything. But the part that we most enjoyed was outside of the mall there is like little shops selling souvenirs and other interesting stuff.

Overrated and Unsafe – Think Twice Before Going! This place is seriously overrated. It was dangerously overcrowded — people were crammed in like sardines, especially around the entrance where the only bar is located. In case of an emergency, there’s no clear way out. It felt like a major safety hazard. They advertise it as an “open bar,” but there’s only one bar and it’s practically inaccessible. I couldn’t get a single drink without pushing through a sea of people. The show itself is decent — the dancers and production are good — but nothing has changed since I last went to Coco Bongo in Cancun three years ago. Even the music was the same, which made the whole experience feel stale and repetitive. Save your money and go somewhere you can actually move, dance, and enjoy yourself safely.

The procedure to get a ticket is really unnecessary, takes a lot of time and is not convenient or efficient. All presentations are amazing for the mezzanine you can really enjoy the whole performance perfectly, the actors, dancers and all performers put a lot of effort for that incredible act. On the other hand, the place is so full that makes it impossible to get out, the people are soooooo push into the bar that you can barely breath no safe the quantity of people they put in this place. Honestly there should some kind of limitation or regulation. The cocktails were fine, and the food was regular.

Atmosphere was great. Loved the show a d the energy was unmatched. Definitely would not go for food but I think that's the point. Drink were pretty weak as well. But again excellent show

Must see. Great show. Not really disco. But lots of fun and amazing entertainment. VIP package not needed. Not so special. Only if you want to sit down.

Where do I begin... it was a catastrophe from the very start! 1. Zero clarity on where to line-up to check in and then zero clarity on where to line-up to enter the venue. 2. Venue reps constantly harass you to purchase "skip the line" tickets at $15. 3. MASSIVELY overcrowded to the point it's a mass casualty incident waiting to happen. 4. Impossible to see the show if you're on the ground floor and near the centre stage. Absolutely no view of the upper stage whatsoever. 5. The acts lasted only a few minutes each. 6. The drinks are watered down. The rum had barely any taste and the vodka with mixer tasted like juice. 7. The PUSHING! I was moving from the toilet past the stairs towards the bar so I could get back to my friends. A security guard pushed me away from the stairs so I shouted at him "I'm going that way" and pointed at my friends. A second security guard then pushed me away from the stairs again as I was trying to make my way through the crowd so I turned and pushed him back (almost got myself kicked out). He shouted something at me in Spanish so I got closer to him and shouted "do NOT PUSH me" in his face then turned and moved away. If you really want to go, then maybe spending more money on an upgraded package/ticket is worth it.

Coco Bongo Disco Punta Cana is an unforgettable nightlife experience that goes far beyond a simple nightclub. From the moment you walk in, you’re transported into a world of spectacular performances, dazzling light shows, and non-stop music. The mix of live acrobatics, tribute shows to world-famous artists, and energetic DJ sets keeps the crowd dancing all night. The atmosphere is electric, with a perfect blend of tourists and locals all enjoying the party together. Drinks flow freely, the service is friendly, and the energy never drops. If you’re in Punta Cana and want an extraordinary night out filled with entertainment, dancing, and pure fun, Coco Bongo is a must-visit.

Wow. Just wow. What a show. What an experience!! Great way to celebrate our 18 year anniversary!!! Highly recommend!! Service, show and atmosphere were electric!!

If you need some home comforts while on holiday you should be able to find what you need here. Or if you just need a bit of retail therapy there's shoe shops, clothing store etc.

Located inside supermarket its a Very simple mall, no food court really only dessert and café. A few Gift stores, 2 nail salon. Other basic stores.

As far as quick local stops are concerned, this small local mall is a one stop for everything from groceries to toys to cellular needs. It's actually convenient that a lot of the staff in various stores speak sufficient English to understand what you need. A quick bite or a coffee and you're off to continue your day. A definite recommend for shopping needs.

I was running a quick errand in the bank. Once done, i bought a few items in the supermarket and a cup of icecream at Bon. Over all it was a pleasant trip

Claro and Altice are the main communications operators in Dominican Republic, they all have branches here, you just need to bring your own passport to buy and registration your sim card here.

You can do all your shopping there. Variety of stores. Needs a street light to monitor entrance/exits, very dangerous street since its a one way area. Plenty of parking.

Wonderful Mall. You will find everything there. A huge variety and safe. Close to the hotels.

Spent most of the day here today (2 adults) the park itself is unexpectedly vast, guides are very welcoming, friendly, and very funny! We were lucky to have Carlos taking us round the resort - lovely, polite, passionate and knowledgeable gentleman. We did the buggy rides which far exceeded are expectations - plenty of time for both myself and partner to have sufficient time on the buggies to really enjoy it. Two stops - first one approximately 20 minutes at the cenotes which was fantastic and a short talk by Carlos about the history of the area was welcomed. Second stop was for lunch where there is a lovely shaded area you can enjoy a Dominican meal included in the price - as someone that doesn’t usually eat meat it was very enjoyable and we both finished the lot! The jungle river was awesome to finish off the buggies in a relaxed manner, we then headed to the waterfall where there is also a bar for refreshments. Would highly recommend and will certainly return when visiting the Dominican again! **what we didn’t realise before going was you went allowed phones at all on the buggies - however there is someone around for each activity taking plenty of photos which are a very reasonable price at the end!

This is definitely something the DR put together for tourist. The water areas were beautiful but if you're not a fan of bugs, the water is not for you. The pool area was the only place where the bugs was very minimal. Everything else had a lot of leaves and dead spiders, bugs, etc. Wanted to do an excursion with my daughter for her 22nd birthday but she did not do anything at this park because of the bugs. We ended up leaving early. She only did the pool. The photos they post are being but you don't see the bugs and things in the water. If you're not afraid of bugs and leaves, etc, then this is for you.

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Bavaro Adventure Park in Punta Cana, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to the Dominican Republic. We booked the Polaris Adventure and Horseback Riding Combo, and the experience exceeded all of our expectations! From the moment we were picked up from our resort (right on time!) to the time we left, the entire day was seamless, exciting, and incredibly well organized. The check-in process at the park was smooth, and we were immediately struck by how friendly, welcoming, and professional every single staff member was. Everyone spoke great English, greeted us warmly, and made us feel like VIP guests — they looked you in the eye, asked your name, and made genuine connections. Such a rare and wonderful touch! Highlights of the Experience: • Polaris Off-Road SXS Ride: Driving through muddy jungle terrain was so much fun! It was adventurous but never felt out of control. • Blue Cenote Swim: Absolutely stunning and refreshing. A serene break during the adrenaline-packed day. • Cultural Gift Shop Stop: A great little presentation on how Dominican coffee, hot chocolate, and mamajuana are made — with tastings included! We happily purchased a few items to bring home. • Delicious Dominican Lunch: Flavorful and authentic, it was a perfect break in the day. • Zip Lining: This was my first time zip lining, and I was honestly nervous — but the staff made me feel completely safe and supported. They were serious about safety protocols, which I truly appreciated. The multiple zips, including a canopy bridge and a final splash into water, were thrilling! • Lazy River Tubing & Waterfall Pool: Such a relaxing way to wind down the day. Beautiful surroundings and just a lot of fun. Although we opted out of the horseback riding portion simply due to personal preference, it was nice to have the flexibility in the schedule. Photography & Memories: Phones weren't allowed during the adventure for safety reasons (a decision I totally respect), but they had multiple professional photographers capturing moments throughout the day. We ended up purchasing the digital photo package with 59 amazing shots — totally worth it to relive the memories! Final Thoughts: I can't recommend Bavaro Adventure Park enough. It offers a full day of adventure, culture, nature, and relaxation — all wrapped up in world-class service and hospitality. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or just looking to explore the beauty of the Dominican Republic in a safe and fun environment, this park has something for everyone. 10/10 — Would absolutely do it again!

From the very beginning you don’t know how to behave, what to wear, which attraction comes first or what’s next. Total chaos, the staff give conflicting information. You’re not allowed to take your phone – they say it’s for safety, but that’s not true. They just want your money. You can’t bring a phone, flip-flops, or a backpack, so you’re forced to buy a locker. Cost: $7 or $10. Photos cost $100, which is completely absurd. The buggy/Polaris ride is extremely boring, you drive in a line behind others very slowly. You must wear closed shoes, flip-flops are not allowed. The first stop is a lagoon where you’re supposed to swim… in closed shoes! You never know how much time you have or when you’re leaving for the next activity. The next stop is the “Dominican village,” which is a total scam. You’re forced to take part in a “tasting” – coffee samples like at Costco – and waste 30 minutes of your life listening to them advertise their products. Then, still soaking wet, you get back on the buggy/Polaris and continue. You end up at the lobby with no clue where to go next or what to wear. At 11:50am they take you for lunch. You wait in line, still wet, the food isn’t ready. Lunch is included in the price, but drinks are not – even water costs extra. You don’t know how much time you have to eat or what the next attraction will be. Then they finally take you to the zipline, where suddenly flip-flops are allowed. On the last line you land straight into the water, so once again you’re completely wet. Then, still dripping, you go horseback riding – this time in flip-flops. The horseback ride was terrible: lots of manure, tons of flies, very slow, too many people and way too close together. Apart from the buggy/Polaris and horses, the other attractions were actually fun, but the overall impression was terrible. One big scam.

The rating is not for the adventure activities, but more so for the extreme disorganization with them and the rudeness of certain tour guides with me. Thomas was introduced as our tour guide but we only seen him on the buggies and didn’t see him anymore after we put on life vest for the sacred river which there was no instructions given just followed a path and follow everybody else. Nobody knew what to expect and people had on their gymshoes and didn’t get a chance to change out of them because they told us that for every activity we will come back to the lobby and you can change and go to your lockers. I have never been to a Caribbean island and felt prejudice being Black until I got to Punta Cana. I was told by Dominican Americans that Dominicans will make sure I have a good time as they love Americans. This was not my experience! I was ignored as I was by myself celebrating my birthday with a birthday shirt on. I tried to sit with other people or walk with them to make sure that I wasn’t forgotten. The direct rudeness was when I went to ride the horses. I walked the trail by myself trying to follow signs because I was told just to go and walk down that way over there. Walking through a jungle not sure where you’re going and there’s nobody else around didn’t feel secure or safe. I followed the path until I got to the barn and then I heard other people come in so I waited. I walked with the other Americans to the place where the horses were. There was a guide standing there telling us we had to put helmets on for the horses. I was the first one there in front of him. He ignored me and began to put the helmet on the young girl behind me. I didn’t think much of it, but you stood there and waited. After her, he proceeded to put the helmet on her boyfriend so I just looked at them because they were behind me so he had to step past me to do this. They walked and sat down. I’m standing by myself with him waiting for a helmet, and he starts fooling around. Now a group of guys walks up Behind me and they were just chatting and not paying attention. The guy proceeds to put the helmet on them. So I said to him, do you not see me standing here and everyone looked at me the other guides and the guest. He proceeded to not say anything, but put the helmet on the guys so I walked away and sat down and the picture you see that the photographer took is of me sitting down without a helmet on because he did not put my helmet on for the horse. When I got up To step up on the horse, the other guide says, you know you need a helmet on and he had a smirk on his face, and I looked at him and said you know good and well that he did not put a helmet on my head & you heard me say something and he said yes, but you still need one so I’ll go get you one. None of them check the rude behavior of their peers like it was common. I had to also ask the photographer to take pictures of me because he was not taking pictures of me. The famous zip lining down into the water, they let us go one at a time so that they can capture the picture of each one coming down. When I came down to the water, the photographer was standing there, looking at me, not even holding the camera up so he did not take my picture so while other people have many pictures in their package, I had 26 pictures but because they were multiples of the same shot they were only about 7. When getting my pictures, I asked the One who spoke English and was selling the pictures where are my other pictures for the other activities and he said well we are still uploading and don’t worry, you will have them sent to you in the email the next day. That is when I saw about 26 pictures of multiple shots and only about seven being different. The guides had the audacity to say that they work for tips! I bring singles $5 and $10 usd with me to tip when I go to countries that I know are relying on tourism and this is the first time ever that I returned back home to the United States with 80% of my tip money.

First time off resort and it was amazing ! They pick you up at confirmed hotel and away you go, the blue lagoon Cenote was nothing but amazing. The lazy river 5 ⭐️’s as well !

We had so much fun at Bávaro Adventure Park! We went on a rainy day and had a blast riding the buggies through the puddles! Highly recommend going on a rainy day! Our tour guide, Carlos was amazing! We loved stopping at the Dominican Village and tasting the coffee, cigars, hot chocolate, and mamajuana. We also were provided with a delicious lunch of chicken, rice, beans, and fried plantains. After lunch we went on the horseback riding trail and all of the staff were helpful and upbeat! We had a great time!

Amazing food as usual for a hard rock cafe along with exceptional staff. It looks like a lot of construction going on around the cafe, perhaps it had been downsized a lot? Bit of a shame. We will probably try the casino/hotel next time.

I've been there 3 times now and all three times we've ordered the same things my partner and I. He likes the twisted mac and cheese and I always go for the Jumbo Combo. We ordered the same things at the Hard Rock restaurant in Santo Domingo and we didn't quite like them. Punta Cana always delivers. We went for dinner recently, they had that conference inside, us patrons were only on the terrace and it was not pleasant at all. People were smoking left and right and I cannot stand smoking. I wish they had a different non-smoking area. Since they were very busy, our food took a lot longer than it should have but they were very apologetic and nice. We still enjoyed the food and it was great as expected. We tried their peach cobbler for dessert and it was exquisite.

For my first time in punta Cana I loved it and the people were nice. The people who work her are so helpful and caring. Sammy, Carlos, and Scooby was amazing I recommend them if you need any help especially Scooby near the pool.

The perfect place to go to have a great time with your family

Overall, we had an exceptional time here. A MUST GO TO! The food 😋, the service & vibe was Fantabulous! An up$cale night out. Like a Las Vegas energy, lights, casinos and 🎬 This one venue is a cure for the nighttime mall shop-a-holuc type! ~♡DivÂ

Food is overpriced. Tasted better food and drinks at many other restaurants in the area. Service is fair. Music is too loud, not a place to have family and friend conversations while eating. This is place is best as a dance club.

Service was excellent specially by Dariana, drinks were very good and food very tasty ☺️

Food was okay, but they put this there. And i just got a new one, had to wait for the whole food very long. The little gift on the house they gave us where sole shrimps but i don‘t like shrimps and they didn’t ask for a choose of a little gift. So I wouldn‘t come here again but if u don’t have any plastic in your food it can be kinda good.

This is a nice place to eat. They have fire stone oven which makes the pizza taste original. I had a meat pizza and chicken bacon cabonara pasta. It smelled so good I didn’t have the patience to take photos of my food. This place has great Italian food and they have an indoor shop to get cheeses. Update; food was really good I went back a day after and got chicken pizza; the best.

I forgot to take pictures of the food but I ordered a pizza with sausage, mushrooms and black olives. Plus calamari fritti. I knew I was in for a treat because they have a wood burning brick oven. The food was absolutely delicious and the shop has a top notch deli inside to purchase meats, cheeses, wine and imported goodies. I wished i found this sooner in my exploring. I purchased 3 can of pomodoro tomatoes we don't have in the states. Now I'm going to figure out how to order them online to ship to me. I absolutely recommend this Italian restaurant if at San Juan Center in Punta Cana.

A very good Italian restaurant in Punta Cana. Pizzas are good, pasta is good too. The desserts are delicious and there is a wide choice. I went many times and would go again.

My husband and I went there for the first time to celebrate his birthday. The food was amazing, and the portion size is quite big, so we had to take some home. I had assorted seafood with grilled veggies and my husband ordered churrasco steak with french fries. It's totally worth the price!

OMG! the best Italian food in Punta Cana there are no words that can describe this place! You’ll have to take a drive there so you taste for yourself. I loved everything from appetizers to the pizza, risotto, lasagna i wanted it all⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️great job punto 🇮🇹 great crowd too.

We waited over an hour after ordering to get our food. Looking around, we were not the only ones in that situation. I would not recommend this place. The waitress was great. That was about it. I attached a picture of the bruschetta. It was a weird take on bruschetta, nothing like bruschetta in Italy or the United States. That and the lasagna were both really gross. The restaurant was really disappointing.

Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed in their food. We ordered the dish with the sausage and expected a nice plate, instead, it looked like a meal a kid could make... Service was good and the ambiance was too. Nothing extraordinary and our meal did not compare to the pictures. Also, we couldn't order any fancy drinks, many things weren't available on the menu. We don't plan on going back.

Food, music, service, everything was great, will definitely come here soon!

From Atlanta Georgia visited Punta Cana for the new year 2023. Loves the service and the food was authentic and amazing. Will definitely come back. Viva La Punta Cana.

Great little place and good prices as well

Great service and the Local food is very tasty!! i recomend stop and dine here ...

I do not recommend coming here. It is a tourist trap. The pictures look nothing like the food. They state an item can feed 5 people, and it didn't even feed 2 people for $30. The food was either salty or had no flavor. The server was more or less paying attention to us; however, we would order while they were standing at the stand where you would pay. Go spend your money elsewhere that is better. Also tip is included so don't tip extra.

The best mofongo I’ve ever had! The service was amazing. They didn’t have avocado but they made a call and had avocado delivered. We were tired of the buffet food in our resort so we looked around and found this place. Glad we did! Our favorite meal in our vacation.

Nice free public beach….free if you bring your own chair or towel to sit on. There is a fee to rent a lounge seat. We were charged $20 USD for 2 seats for the day. But the beach is lovely. Lots of waves but shallow to swim & wade in the water. It was pretty crowded but still very enjoyable. Especially considering that most beaches in the northern coast area are full of seaweed right now, just the peak of summer. There are a few vendors at entrance and we only noticed one food option, but it was delicious! Cold drinks, seafood platters, fries and such reasonably priced considering you’re paying for the convenience. One of the coldest beers I had on the island! Taxis hover around the area so not hard to find a ride, but they can be pushy. Overall a good afternoon.

A stunning beach with palm trees, soft white sand, and gentle waves. A great place for relaxing and swimming. There wasn’t a bunch of seaweed like some of the other beaches around Punta Cana. There are also a few places to get drinks and snacks as well as chairs and umbrellas to sit under. I highly recommend a visit

Visited during an excursion. The beach itself is nice. The views are beautiful. But the water is not blue, it was brown, of dark color. Surprisingly, there were not any sargassums there. There are many annoying souvenir vendors. The restrooms (toilets), have no accommodations. The doors would not close, the lockets are stolen and broken, the bulbs are missing, you can see only wires, even the flush buttons are stolen, it is dirty, it is ghetto. Even if you come there, there is no way you can find a place to change your clothes.

It's a beautiful beach with wide sandy spots and calm waves. It can get crowded but if you walk to the ends there are fewer people. Parking closer costs money but farther away there are limited free spots. There are bathrooms and lots of places to buy drinks and souvenirs.

Beautiful beach. Lots of local families enjoying a beach day. Places to get refreshments. A few vendors but they weren't pushy.

Amazing beach with beautiful view it is a must to visit however be careful with vendors prices are crazy expensive I expected to see prices higher than local bars but 20$ for a piña colada 🙃🙃🙃 if you are coming to spend the day just bring your snacks and drinks 😉

The beach is beautiful, in comparison to other beaches around the Dominican Republic, I give it a three-star review because while you do not have to partake in renting beach chairs, umbrellas, or even purchasing the food... I wanted to; however, the prices they list are all in dollars and in many instances are far more than prices paid in the U.S. and wv n in Japan where I just traveled from. Additionally, if you pay via credit card you will pay between 10% and 25% additional charge. While I wanted to support the local economy, I do not appreciate being taken advantage of with these ridiculous prices placed on what is supposed to be a public beach. A comparison between Bayahibe and Macao, places Bayahibe prices much more reasonable than Macao prices.

This resort is nice (look & feel wise) it's an all inclusive resort The rooms are a nice size and for the most part rooms were very clean! The bed was uncomfortable and did not have big enough pillows. At the entrance to your room you get attacked by little bugs all over the front door.The food here is horrible. There also is not much to do at the resort as far as activities are concerned. Overall the resort is ok if we go back to punta cana it will definitely be in a better resort.

You gotta pay 35 dollars to enter, whebever you gotta ask for the check you get the 35 off the total amount, its basically to make you spend

Warm on winter, relaxing and affordable, get here any time, you will no be disappointed.

Great experience, friendly staff ,cool vibe...family getaway

Beautiful manicured course, quiet splendid views, great place to be

Beautiful place for a stay in the Caribbean, great representation of the DR beaches, good service.

Good course. Long, but pretty open. Greens and fairways in really good shape. Rental clubs are decent and well priced.

Nice golf course. Fairways need to be cut more. Rough is crazy. Short but fluffy. Losing balls that just berry them self in the fluff. Greens are slow with little break. But overall a really good course. Wide and forgiving.

Decent golf course. Very close to Dreams/Secrets Royal Beach and you get preferred pricing. Still $100 USD, but much cheaper than other courses nearby. Wide fairways, forgiving. Greens are slow. Bunkers are not maintained which is an issue for a golf course. Hard as concrete and no rakes. Staff are very friendly. Location is very safe. All in all, it was fun and great to get out for three rounds on my vacation while I wait for the snow to melt at home. They provide a cooler, cold water but beer is $3/per.

Good course. I wanted to rate it higher but too many challenges with maintenance of course, pace of play, rough, greens, and overall display. This course has been, and probably will be again. Many new homes and residents going up. Hopefully it will inject necessary funds into the revitalization if this course with great bones. It is not worth $169! Not currently. Not in present condition. OAN: staff and pro shop customer service was phenomenal!

Played 4 rounds of golf here and the courses were phenomenal. The option to mix and match 3 different 9 hole courses really makes for a great few days of golf. Some fairways are tight and that made for a nice challenge.

Excellent community one of the most safest And tranquil

Great resort type course in a beautiful community. Wide fairways however greens are slow and bunkers need more sand. Overall a fun course to play on holiday. Green fees are high but not as high as some other courses in the area.

I like it bc it is safe, gated, nice place to live with kids. It could be beautiful, but, unfortunately, they ruin it with the way they treat trees and plants, very unprofessionally and actually kind of cruelly. Although that seems to happen everywhere in Bávaro... I don't play golf, so couldn't rate the golf part...

We decided to come here because Melia Properties owns the Resort we stayed at as well as this mall. They offer a free shuttle bus to this mall , which is about a 15min drive from the Paradisus Punta Cana. If you come here in off season, you will find it to be an absolute ghost town. Half the stores were vacant but there is one decent grocery store. We did the one souviner shop at this mall to be the best priced one, as well as have the best variety as compared to the ones at our resort and and at Plaza San Juan Shopping Center

Mostly touristic shops with high prices. Nothing useful really. ATM is useful and there is a big supermarket with great variety of products and food. Note that Hard Rock doesn't offer the restaurant anymore!

Nice stores with prices for tourists, no locals here except for the bank and supermarket. It is conveniently close to the Melia and there’s a free shuttle going around in case you catch it. We came for the pharmacy and the supermarket. There’s also a few restaurants if you want a break from the hotel buffet.

They have a few different beach wear shops. Hard Rock Cafe store, Swarovski, Pandora Jewelers closed🙁

This mall is a bit deserted, it has some offices left here and there maybe a restaurant or 2, theres a supermarket near by

The shops are closed. Don't go.I came here at the end of 2018 and at the beginning of 2019. It was a very nice shopping center. The pizza was great. There was a great ice cream shop. It had a bank. It had ATMs. I came in February 2022, everything was closed. It stands as a building, but you are afraid to go inside. Here, hotels used to provide transportation to this market by shuttle vehicles. So if the customers wanted, shuttle minibuses would go to the market 2 times a day and would bring you back to the hotel 2 hours after shopping. Now no hotel takes anyone there because it is closed.

Love this place. It is obviously designed for tourist. Very attractive design and clean. Shopped and ate here. The store clerks and restaurant teams were pleasant and accommodating. Good experience, I recommend you visit here while you are in Punta Cana.

The Restaurant has an absolutely beautiful location with a fantastic atmosphere, view and top-tier service that makes you feel well taken care of. While the seafood we ordered was unfortunately overcooked, the mozzarella sticks were delicious, and the chicken Caesar salad hit the spot. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy the vibes and views, even if the food was a bit hit or miss.

Beautiful atmosphere near the beach. As a visitor of D.R., I would definitely come again. Food , appetizers and drinks were excellent with presentation, our waiter Dario was courteous and helped us with suggestions.

Our dream wedding! If you are considering hosting your wedding here, don’t walk - RUN to book with Farah and her team. After MONTHS of frustration dealing with the resort for our wedding another bride told us to contact Jellyfish. We are so glad that we did. The resort we originally booked at clearly felt entitled to our business and charged absurd premiums. Instead, Farah and the Jellyfish team CONTINUOUSLY earned our business and trust. From the moment we (very quickly) heard back from them we had zero doubts that they could be trusted to take our wedding seriously and be responsible for our most important day. Farah is a PROFESSIONAL and unmatched talent in wedding planning. From beginning to end the process was seamless, stress free, and an incredible experience. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our biggest decisions were, “which amazing menu should our guests have?”. Farah handled everything and made planning our event actually fun. This is the experience you THINK you should get at an all inclusive. Instead you get it on the beautiful beach at Jellyfish. Our wedding was ‘only’ 18 people, which other venues struggled to provide appropriate suggestions for. This was not at all a problem for Jellyfish. We were given the second floor all to ourselves and they cleared the beach for our ceremony and dance party. It felt like we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Farah even arranged for an absolutely stunning suite next door so my bride and her bridesmaids could get ready. Oh and the food? Every single guest said it was the best meal of our weeklong destination wedding trip. We cannot recommend Jellyfish enough for events. You will get an incredible experience at a great price. If you have as incredible an experience as ours - please remember to tip. Farah and her team need to keep doing their incredible work. I can see Farah going incredibly far in this career. My only regret is I wish we had switched to Jellyfish sooner. Well done. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good lobster with butter and garlic sauce, but a little overcooked. There is no place to eat inside, and we asked to change tables because leaves, flowers and insects were falling from the plants above. We took advantage of the sun loungers and parasols on the beach, which were included with lunch, but when we asked the first waiter, he told us it wasn't possible. The second waiter was very kind and brought us our personal wristbands. Prices were a little high, but it was a nice experience. The beach was very clean and well worth it. In the evening, when everything is lit up, the place is very romantic. The road to access and the parking were awful.

Service was amazing. Our waiter Dario made sure we where set and have a wonderful evening overall the food was 100 and the service was a 100.. would definitely come back.

I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at Jellyfish Restaurant, and Sandy made the entire experience unforgettable. He was attentive, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. From his warm smile to his thoughtful service, he truly made us feel special. The food and atmosphere were amazing, but Sandy’s outstanding service is what made the night one to remember. Thank you, Sandy, for making my birthday celebration so wonderful! If you’re traveling here on vacation, I highly recommend this restaurant. However, please make sure to take cash, as all restaurants require a service charge fee of 28%.

Didn't think it would be as good as it was. The food was amazing. The service was a bit slow, but well worth the wait. The atmosphere, the decor, right off the beach, intimate areas (perfect for proposals). It is definitely a must if you visit Punta Cana. The food is fairly priced.

Ricky and Danny are the best servers in the whole hotel. Food is awesome and service is exceptional, definitely worth the reservation. El Charro has been the best restaurant experience in our stay so far.

Dining at El Charro was one of the best experiences of our stay at Lopesan Costa Bávaro Resort. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with beautiful décor that set the perfect tone for an authentic Mexican dining experience. Every dish we tried was full of flavor and prepared with great attention to detail — from the appetizers to the main courses, everything exceeded expectations. A special mention goes to our waiter, Juan Contreras, who made the evening truly memorable. His professionalism, kindness, and attentive service stood out. He took the time to explain menu options, made excellent recommendations, and ensured that everything arrived perfectly timed. His friendly attitude added a personal touch that elevated our entire experience. We left feeling more than satisfied, and we can confidently say that El Charro is a must-visit restaurant at Lopesan. If you go, be sure to ask for Juan — his service will make your dinner unforgettable!

Just wanted to take a moment to give a big shoutout to both Juan and Rickey. You’ve both been incredibly reliable and easy to work with. Juan, your attention to detail and ability to keep things moving smoothly hasn’t gone unnoticed. You’ve got a great way of handling tasks without making things feel overwhelming. Rickey, your positive attitude and willingness to jump in wherever needed really helps set the tone for the team. You both bring a calm, can-do energy that makes a big difference. Keep doing what you’re doing — it’s appreciated more than you know.

Juan and Ricky, an incredible duo, provided exceptional service. Their culinary expertise was evident in the delectable food, and they skillfully guided us in choosing entrees that aligned with our taste preferences.

My girlfriends and I came here for dinner and had the absolute best time. Our waiters Yoandy, Juan Contreras, and Ricky Milquella were all incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. All our food was absolutely delicious. The starters, entrees, and dessert were all so good that we wanted to come back the next day! Highly recommend!!

Do not sleep on this restaurant. It was fantastic! We received the best service from Juan, Carla and Luis! By far the best food we have had at Lopesan!

Nelson Rivera was our server was super attentive and friendly. The food was amazing 10/10. Great service, friendly and attentive staff. The beat restaurant in the hotel.

Amazing experience! The staff was super friendly and attentive. The food was varied and delicious every day. My room was very comfortable and had everything I needed. I loved how close all the amenities were — easy to get around the property. The gym was spotless, well-organized, and had everything for a good workout. Only suggestion: it would be great to have more sports bars on-site. Highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again!

🏝️🏝️🏝️An Unforgettable Stay at Paradisus Palma Real! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My stay at Paradisus Palma Real was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The resort is stunning beautifully maintained grounds, lush tropical gardens, and a breathtaking beachfront that looks straight out of a postcard. The staff deserve special mention everyone was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. From the front desk to the restaurant teams, service was consistently top-notch. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and luxurious, with comfortable beds and modern amenities. I especially loved waking up to ocean views and enjoying my morning coffee on the balcony. The food and drinks were outstanding plenty of delicious options for every taste, from international buffets to elegant à la carte dining. The cocktails were creative and refreshing, and the atmosphere at every restaurant was lively yet relaxing. Whether you’re looking to unwind by the pool, enjoy beach activities, or indulge at the spa, there’s something for everyone here. The entertainment team also did a fantastic job keeping guests engaged without it ever feeling intrusive. Overall, Paradisus Palma Real delivers the perfect mix of luxury, relaxation, and world-class service. I can’t wait to come back🌺✨ Special thanks to Gustavo and Gilberto!!!

Our family of four had a great time at Paradisus Palma Real. All the staff members were very attentive and friendly, especially at the Kidsdom. There were always activities and water fun times for the kids. The room we stayed was a swim up Master suite, which was newly renovated and very spacious for our family. There were also six restaurants and two buffets at the property, all the food was nicely prepared and very delicious. We liked that a lot of them were local dishes and authentic. Overall it was a great stay for us, I would definitely recommend this resort.

Rafael on the beach was amazing! He got our spot ready every morning and waited on us like we were royalty! And we he wasn’t there Yuderi took his spot and was excellent as well! Our concierge Eriol was awesome and so sweet! He made our anniversary extra special! Gladys in the spa! OMG! Magical! We will definitely be back!

The stay was amazing and the Flora Dominican restaurant is a must visit! Definitely the best restaurant at the resort and will definitely be coming again. Our server Cesar also gave excellent recommendations for food that I probably wouldn’t have tried without his recommendation. Also the drinks from the rum republic bar were always outstanding especially from Miguel who really perfects each drink and makes it taste incredible. Can’t wait to return to this amazing resort again in the future!

Rosanna, its the best hostess at the main pool, very attentive and always a smile. Remembers your drink of choice, and never walks past without checking on you. Makes your stay worth it and would come back just because of the amazing staff throughout the property. When you're here you are family and they treat you as such. Highly recommend, give it a try if you're on the fence, its our first visit to the Dominican Republic and to an all inclusive. Definitely caters to the adult side of things.

We had a great time on our girl's trip. Our goal was to rest and relax while not doing a whole lot. Mission accomplished. The food was excellent and there were always things to do on the resort. Fernando Chispa and Ay Ay Ay were always so fun and ready to get us involved in activities. They taught us to dance and made sure we had everything we needed. Our catamaran trip to a private beach for yoga was great too! Our concierge, Adriel, made our dinner reservations and texted us activities every morning. He even made sure we made it to dinner on time and stayed hydrated. Great service. We look forward to coming back soon!

Service was amazing and the food superb. Order a Patacones, Puente Sobre Lago and couple of empanadas. You will not leave hungry

The food here is amazing! I ordered a patacone - it was delicious and the portion was huge. They speak good English and they are very helpful if you don't know what you want to order. Also it's quite cheap. I got full after only one plate. I would recommend it to everyone!

Venezuelan place: Scrumptious food. Great variety. Big servings (make sure there's room in your fridge unless your a big eater). Excellent prices. --Fruit drinks are over sugared, and house flies when its not busy.

Full marks for service and hospitality! Josef is a fantastic guy that brought a part of Venezuela to Punta Cana with him. Traditional rustic cuisine that is delicious and reasonably priced - highly recommended!

Great feel and the owner is super personable and friendly.

The food was amazing and the owners were friendly! The menu is written on the wall with the prices. If you are unsure of what to order, the owner made some great suggestions for us which were delicious!

Best Hot Dog in Bávaro

We ate at the Score Sports bar and lounge one night and this was horrible. It took us 20 minutes to get a drink (maybe longer but I went up and ordered it) and an hour to get our food - by this time we were the only ones eating there. Once we got our food the chicken wings were not completely cooked, and the fries and onion rings looked like they were left over from lunch - HORRIBE

Food is okay, Service is really slow. Drinks are good. Nothing special and we only went twice.

The wings and onion rings were very good. Quesadillas were ok. For any wraps get the sauce on the side or risk having them drenched. Escape some heat and eat inside.

Before we start let’s just say we love the Royalton brand and stay every year in a different country. The sports bar here in the Dominican is probably the worst I’ve ever been in. Waited 90 mins for food only to be told that 2 meals were unavailable, then the food arrived all absolutely freezing cold.

It's definitely a cosy little sports bar. Friendly servers and attentative. It's one of my favourite spots to grab a bite.

Very close to the lobby. Trendy atmosphere with a handful of TVs playing. Fish and chips are good. Wings are super plain tasting, do not recommend them.

Food here is really very good, burgers ,fries wraps chicken wings sandwiches etc. But it gets busy and service can be slow. The pool and air hockey is okay, the rest of the amusements are very dated and some don't work. The main screen is a projector and not viewable. It's open late and everyone is friendly. Air-conditioning so is a good place to cool down.

The actual swimming with the dolphins was memorable but I wasn’t allowed to capture the experience. They have a no camera rule which I was not aware of prior to booking. No cellphones allowed. I already paid for my experience, and I understand that but having to pay to capture the memory is ridiculous. And the staff was absolutely rude about it. They have someone taking pictures during the meet and greet with dolphins. Then charge $40 per person for one picture and outraged prices for a package. After the encounter they have you view pictures to purchase. When I didn’t purchase they ask “Why?” I said too expensive and I feel they take advantage of experience by having us purchase pictures only. Staff response was “why would we give pictures for free?” I don’t want your pictures for free, I want the option of taking my own pictures. RUDE! I was with my family of three but they grouped us with other families to group as 10 people at a time, which is fine but within the group was a really young child (about 2yo) that was scared and didn’t want photo or interaction with dolphin. I felt most of the time was spent trying to encourage child to interact with dolphins and took away from my families time and interaction. This may sound selfish, but I also paid for the experience.

Really great experience. Does not matter what level of experience you pay you will be taken as a group. Those that pay higher level will experience more with the dolphins others will watch while remaining in the water. I don't highly recommend but I do just generally recommend. The only issue is after the experience. The prices for pictures and mugs with photos printed on them are not reasonable and you can not pic what you want. If you want just a mug, sorry not going to happen. KEY NOTE: if you purchase the digital copy. They will download an app on your phone so that you can get your photos. IF YOU DELETE THE APP, ALL OF YOUR PHOTOS WITH THE DOLOPHINS GET DELETED AS WELL. so send the photos to your email and re-download into your phone. So this way you don't lose them forever. Thanks.

Everyone should think twice before spending their money here and ask themselves whether it’s worth supporting a business built on cruelty. This entire place is based on the exploitation of dolphins. These poor animals are kept in a small pool, which is simply heartbreaking. You’re not allowed to take your own photos — it’s strictly forbidden — just so their photographer can charge you an absurd $40 per picture. Pure greed and no real attractions besides the suffering of these intelligent creatures. Definitely the worst money I’ve spent on vacation.

Pricey! $350 for family of 4 with 20% off. If you want photos another $80 for each person! (Digital copy), if you’re holding your baby or toddler!? Counts as 2 person $160! 4 stars for the dolphins and the trainers! 60 mins Cool experience with a group of 11 people. You do the math how much mins are just for you…. Sorry no photos to share, cannot afford it!

We were staying at the Hard Rock Resort in Punta Cana and the dolphin excursion was the one that we decided on. It was a great time and we had so much fun. Make sure to bring cash so you can tip Kelvin. We had no cash on us and it was our biggest regret because he went above and beyond for our group! Your family will love it here!

Expected a boat cruise into the Gulf but had a good time in a large pool with dolphins

Dolphins in captivity don’t live well. In the wild, dolphins live 25–35 years, sometimes even over 50. In captivity, most survive only 8–12 years because of stress, limited space, poor diet, and artificial conditions. They perform tricks just to get food. It may look fun, but it’s sad and unnatural. Seeing these intelligent animals trapped like this broke my heart. I wish people stopped supporting such places.

Nice experience and friendly staff but a bit pricey. We enjoyed the day and needless to say we spend some money on cigars and chocolates. Good selection. 3 stars because our tour guide suddenly vanished and we didn’t even had a chance to explore coffees

Really nice experience, learning about tobacco industry ! There is shopping area and coffee factory and chocolate factory ! The prices however are tourist prices ! You won’t get anything less than what you get inside your hotel!

Friendly staff. Offered me a free cigar at my level of smoking intensity. Gave us a short tour of the facility. They sell majority of Don Lucas cigars, with a small few other brands. However they are more expensive on their cigars compared to other locations. They are cheaper on their alcoholic bottles. Huge gift shop including real jewelery, gifts, chocolates, cigars, and alcohol. I would go their for everything except for the cigars. I can find far better pricing at another location in Dominican Republic. Thanks.

Highly recommend taking a tour to Don Lucas! All the staff are super friendly, and they're not pushy on sales at all. Nice vibe and all the products are good quality. Yes, the products can be pricier than you might find elsewhere, but you get a bunch of free samples during the tour and there is a free shuttle service included. Obviously they have a larger overhead than a little stall, so it's not unexpected, and quite frankly it's very much worth the experience. Other tours can feel very pushy and greedy - not Don Lucas. You'll be treated with respect and they are great hosts. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Punta Cana.

I was greeted with the upmost love and catered attention by Pepe, my nee amigo and an extremely knowledgeable aficionado who takes pride in their work, there at DLC. I went early in the morning because I didn't want to have huge crowds and be rushed, and therefore, the time spent was with me alone, and no dumb questions from others as I take my cigar life very seriously and went to learn more. I want to bottle the humidor scent in a jar and inhale every day, LOL.. Don Lucas are at the moment, my favorite sticks, due to the smoothness, ow even burn, flavor isn't harsh. With that said, IT WOULD BEHOOVE YOU TO TASTE BAVARO BLACK RUM, they are shoestring to your shoes, must go together. The manager , staff, and definitely PePe (ask for him) he even speaks a little French.

this was a cool place to go they gave u cigars to try along with some really good rum to try as well.

Had a good time, staff is so nice and knowledgeable on everything. Was interesting to learn about the history and got to try a cigar, mamajuana, rum and chocolate :) loved the dark chocolate with sea salt. We walked in and asked for a tour on a random Sunday afternoon and everyone was so welcoming.

This, like most excursions are a tourist trap and cash grab. For $125USD, they bring you on a “party” boat that didn’t have enough seats for everyone and fed us sandwiches that had been sitting in the sun for hours. You spend most of your time waiting for the next activity and they were all underwhelming. The sharks, stingrays, and seals are kept in the smallest enclosures. Two stars since the underwater walk was interesting, but you spend most of the time posing for photos and there’s nothing to see underwater.

We were picked up in a hotel by a bus with open windows, like a safari type of bus. This is fun during hot weather: gives one a fresh breeze, however: those who go with smaller kids or with vulnerable people: if you leave at 7:15am, it gets very breezy, on the edge of feeling cold and wishing you had a hat on, to cover the ears :) especially when the drive goes amidst a busy city traffic, with a speed of 50-60km/h. So i would kindly recommend having a sweater and even a hat, if you leave at 7:15am :) we had a great excursion. The boat experience was something, the snorkeling was fun. The sea zoo was a bit depressing… i wanted to just let them al out, those fishes… i did not know it would be a sea zoo.. i thought we would be in some special area of habitat of the herbivore sharks… anyways: whats done is done. But for sensitive empaths: a warning: a sea zoo would break your heart a little. The experience in helmets 10 out of 10, that was great :) i liked the safety measures. I coykd really see that me and my kids are under protection of specially trained staff under water. We were guided practically by hand! I appreciate it. Thank you!! And the pictures were fun and nice and lots of them. Thanks for that too!!

We had a great time on this excursion. The crew are wonderful, entertaining and engaging. You get to do a few things on this day trip like snorkeling, the sea walk, swimming with stingrays and sharks as well as swimming in the amazing crystal clear ocean. This trip does include drinks but not anything I would consider food. They offered fruit and cheese sandwiches but it's not enough to sustain you. We were told (by the events coordinator at our resort) that the day would start with pick up at 7am and then we'd be back at our resort by 12:30pm but that's not entirely true. The day started with pick up at 7am then an hour and a half bus ride, picking up other guests on an open air bus with the most uncomfortable seats on earth. We also didn't get back to our resort until 3:30pm and everyone was starving by this point. I do recommend this experience because it's a lot of fun and there are drinks involved but bring a snack.

We did the excursion June 4, 2025 and would highly recommend. In addition to scuba helmet experience we also did snorkeling, swimming with bull sharks/stingrays, and picture with sea lion. The pricing was great for the time spent and activities you get. Super friendly fun staff on the boat! 10/10

We got picked up bright and early for this activity from our resort. The seating is tight. Once you arrive, you are brought onto the catamaran. The party starts with them dancing, hyping the crowd. To be honest I was very excited about this excursion because walking on the bottom of the ocean was intriguing. Paid attention to all the details video only to find out I can’t take part in the excursion because we never paid for it. I turned on my data to show them my voucher which clearly stated I did. They did not let us complete that portion no matter how much was pleaded. Instead, we snorkeld in green water where there was not much visibility at all, went to get a kiss from a seal, they will grab your phones away at this point so they can take pictures. The part or the experience lasted 15 seconds, the seal moves his head back and forth (kiss) we were then quickly ushered to get into the water enclosure with the sting rays, fishes and sharks. Followed by a beach party where they let you hang in the water for 15 min -20mins They provided ham & cheese sandwiches, drinks and some fruit. Overall, to be honest the staff was tried to be hyped. Had I know that is all I was going to be doing i would have rather stay at the resort. We wasted 7 hours of our day as we never got to do the activity we signed up for. So fast forward they bring you back to shore, request that you tip, the pictures were average, wanted $80+. At the end of the day, if you like to party on a boat. This excursion is for you.

We did this excursion and it was cool but not without it's issues. For one, the bus is an open cabin with tiny seats that seem like they have padding but they don't. You can get motion sickness in the bus. Then you get to the place after picking up at different locations, no biggie, and you get aboard a ship. You are divided into groups. One snorkels, one does the scuba helmets, and two others wait. Waiting was fine, there were drinks and fruit. The snorkeling was cool and the scuba helmets, you go in a circle stopping to snap pictures. The swimming with stingrays and sharks was cool but felt bad as they are in an enclosure. Overall not a bad experience and I liked the sea lion.

Being able to go underwater and see the aquatic life was a beautiful experience. The staff was so fun and friendly--they had us dancing and drinking on the boat. Was not expecting the dancing but was all for it!

Very pretty beach with white sand and palm trees. There is a nice swimming area with many restaurants, shops and water activities close by. We really enjoyed our time here!

Stunning. The colour of the water is why we travel for 10hrs on a plane to the Carribean. A lot of resorts, water sports,bars and restaurants around. Basically everything you need. It's a must visit if you traveling to Punta Cana or DR in general.

These pictures are from the resort Paradisus de Melia in Punta Cana. I loved the resort and this beach in Punta Cana.

It's a nice beach and a little calmer than the Atlantic side of the island.

This is by far the best beach I have ever been on !!!!!!!! Most beautiful, water crystal clear & bath warm 😇😍🥰

This place is amazing but there is a lot of seaweed i thought they cleaned up but the weather and view is amazing. Definitely will be back to visit next year. I love it here

Very clean beach and well maintained

We love the peaceful atmosphere and natural breeze of this place—fittingly named La Brisa, which means "the breeze." It’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a quiet meal. We’ve had wonderful times here over multiple visits and tried a variety of dishes. For appetizers, the meat and cheese platter and the classic fried calamari stood out—both fresh and flavorful. As for soup, the crab cappuccino was just okay (I'd give it a 5/10). You might want to explore the other options on the menu. The highlight of the meal was definitely the Burgundy beef steak—tender, rich, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend it if you’re into well-prepared meats. To finish, the strawberry cheesecake was the best dessert we tried—creamy, not too sweet, and beautifully presented. Overall, a lovely dining experience with good food and a calm, breezy vibe.

The waitress Luigi have to much talent and delicate attention to us. I recommend This for special occasions

Food was good. Restaurant is in a nice and quiet location near the beach. One of the Best restaurant to have lunch and diner. Service is good. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Probably the best meal we had at the resort and by far the best service. The staff were pleasant and on top of caring for us. The food was fresh and the meal was enjoyable

Food is very tasty. The service was first class and the place's atmosphere was expectacular. I loved the fact that this place is so close to the sea that you can really feel the Brisa, like the restaurant name says.

If you do the romantic dinner for two it is held on the terrace, over looking the beach at La Brisa. This meal was delicious and the service was bar none (as you should expect). We never tried the La Brisa as a snack bar, so this restaurant has three tasks: day time snack bar, a la carte restaurant, romantic dinners.

We loved this place. The ambiance, service, variety and taste of the food. It is very pretty and the menu includes dishes from Spain, meat and seafood.

Truly inedible food and totally chaotic as many others have noted. The buffet is the only place for breakfast and lunch for a massive resort. It’s too big with too many people for the staff to keep up with anything. They’re trying but people pick over the food so quickly that it’s unappealing. It’s designed for quantity not quality. We encountered rotten fruits, stale foods and no attention to food safety or cleanliness. Serving utensils left in the food, birds and flies all around, dirty plates in the clean plate areas and tables left dirty long after people left. Staff just can’t keep up and it was not a pleasant experience.

Dont eat the sea food.. A group of 6 of us all got food poisoning after 3 days of being at the resort and we mostly only ate seafood

Total chaos. First of all, the food is generally good and there is a lot of choice. Not to the level of a 5 star hotel, but still good. However, for the size of the hotel, the 2 main buffets restaurants are way too small, understaffed and simply chaotic. No available clean tables, not enough plates and glasses, no water at the tables etc... The buffet is being rushed by so many people that it feels impossible for the staff to keep it clean, with enough warm food for everyone. Good luck relaxing and enjoying a fresh and warm dinner there.

Best food at this resort in my opinion. Buffet has lots of options for breakfast/dinner. Made to order omelet for breakfast was the best thing I’ve eaten here. Dinner wise, this was the best food we were served (also ate at the steakhouse and seafood).

Food was not great. Staff are obviously overwhelmed but do not offer much assistance. Hard to even get a spoon or refill. Too busy. Bland food. Breakfast is ok. Surprised how few speak of understand English.

Very good restaurant,probably deserve 4 stars,friendly staff and good food but expirience with menager Nelson Guerrero ruin my impresions about this restaurant.Very bad black guy who think that he is important,very unfriendly and dirty talk with hotel guests.I find that people like this guy cant work in hotel with 5 stars but this is job for hotel menagment

Great variety of meat, fish, pasta, salads, fruits and desserts, everything fresh and well prepared. Service was rapid, waiters were pleasant and helpful and we felt like we were being taken care of.

Good service, the steak house was not bad as well. Kid friendly, had enough booster seats, the food came out pretty fast.

The steak house in Bavaro palace. We have four different dishes. New York strip, Santa Fe, steak and shrimp and mix grill. I got the Santa Fe signature steak. It's a grilled skirt steak, decent tenderness and taste. As of the options on the menu, I would recommend. We did reserved before hand but seems that there are plenty of spots here.

Food was in general good, especially the steaks. Service was very poor, long waiting to be seated altough there were free tables insides. Very bad coordination and cooperation of the staff. Bad english skills of the staff. Onion soup was awful.

Great atmosphere, solid food, and better than expected! Date of visit: early May weekend. We were seated promptly by the host, and overall, the experience exceeded our expectations—despite some of the negative reviews we had read beforehand. The steak was quite good—definitely better than what we had at Outback Steakhouse in Vegas. It was tender and juicy, though a little lightly seasoned—but easily fixed with a pinch of salt. The chicken nuggets were also surprisingly tasty—better than McDonald’s, and our child absolutely loved them! Service was decent, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. One tip: some of the staff speak limited English, so a bit of patience really helps. Communicate clearly, and if needed, use a translation app—it goes a long way. Rather than pointing fingers, making a small effort made our experience smooth and enjoyable.

Food was overall okay, worse than I was expecting though. Also went to their breakfast buffet which was good. Was sat next to a leaking air vent so that wasn’t fun but thankfully it didn’t get on the food or table, so the restaurant needs a bit of work

We stayed at Barceló all inclusive. Not sure if we paid $15 extra per person for this restaurant, some restaurants were additional cost. There was no AC, soda was flat, food took longer than expected. Salad,fruit, and dessert bar didn’t look good. Fruit looked old and food looked like it was out for a while. We didn’t even try it. Our water was hot. Our server had too many tables and we only saw her once. Steak was dry and chewy. I asked for medium cooked steak, it was chewy and burned . We decided to go back to buffet restaurant.

This restaurant has a great atmosphere and a vibrant energy. The youthful spirit is evident, as the staff is quite young, and their service is truly excellent. You can tell they enjoy their work and operate as a well-coordinated team. However, there is one major issue—something that seems common across most restaurants in the Dominican Republic: they rarely cook the meat the way you request it; it's almost always overcooked. In the photo, you can see the wonderful team who served us. May God bless them!

Very good deal! We paid $200 for a poolside, covered, bungalow and that $200 went toward food and drink credits. There's music, wifi, and power outlets. This is a great place to spend the day. There are 2 pools and beach access. It gets crowded at 4 so I recommending arriving before 2 unless you like crowds.

I went to Pearl with some girlfriends and absolutely loved it. The seaweed was a problem but I liked Pearl because it also had a variety of pools for us to enjoy! Very delicious food and drinks as well. The cabanas were fabulous 🤌🏾

I like this place I’m visiting often for more than three years. It’s a nice oasis far from the noise and hustle, compared to the other Punta Cana beaches. It used to be $30 for a person and now they rise it to 50$ for a minimum consumption. Which is OK in most of the cases but sometime I want to pass for one or two hours just not enough time to fulfill the $50 minimum requirement. It’s always been music at the pool area and sometime they organize, dancing and other events. I don’t know why lately they moved the the DJ and the speakers next to the beach chairs and it’s very loud. The previous way was better.. because people are trying to relax at the beach area and now I cannot make conversation with my friends just Too noisy. This just come back maybe from there complaining the noise cannot sleep used to be better. I give three stars for the service for the reason that the waiters trying softly to cheating in the check.. so visitors ask for your receipts and check out what is in there. Despite of that, that’s my favorite place in the area.. in one of the important things the management responding to most of the comments . It’s nice to know that your opinion is being taken..

Great place to chill out and enjoy the beach. Swimming pools are also available. Good is of good quality and choice for everyone. Service is great, waiters are friendly, prompt and speaking english.

Excellent Excellent all around. Scenic views and tasteful meals. Excellent fir relaxing.

This place is amazing, the beach is great and the club is well maintained, clean and full of amenities like 2 pools, beach access and the restaurant. I guess I was just so unlucky because when I went there they had no FISH/SEAFOOD at all… only the fried fish available. Of course form a beach club you expect to have lots of seafood options, but having NONE from the menu, was quite disappointing. Service to be improved definitely; the guys on the Beach are doing a great job, but they need to be more attentive and know what the guest needs. I waited more than 10 minutes to receive my cutleries for the fish, to then eat it cold. If you arrive by Uber there’s a gate, show them your reservation and they’ll open for you. Once leaving the club, check with the security to let your Uber coming in to pick you up.

We called ahead to make a reservation 4 times. They answered and hung up. By the 5th call we had to get our front desk to make the call for us because they clear only respect locals. One person told us it was open for food and no reservation needed. So we spent money and went. The guard at the gate told us reservation only & they were only accepting old people ???? We asked to speak to a manager and he waved us off. Tourism clearly come here regularly. So as a tourist destination please figure out how to have staff who can communicate properly. Or just keep it for Spanish speaking guests. Very frustrating!!!

Outside there’s quick food to get like burgers it was good. The club is in a cave. Women do not wear heels the ground is slippery $60 -$75 unlimited drinks good music turn up

Great place and very original. Unique experience, loved it. One thing. The sub they use for transportation, St. Moreno. Bad. Our driver, Miguel, on the way home even though we paid in advance tried to leave us behind because there was a large group of guys offering him more cash under the table to take them to prostitutes. It was a fight for us to get our seats in the bus. No cool. Beware if that service. The nightclub needs to do something about it.

The music is great. The DJ is great too. But the atmosphere is very hot and uncomfortable. There are people from all over the world. I also didn't see any emergency exits in the place. Smoking is allowed inside the club, in the middle of the streets. The people, what I found strange. The cigarettes mixed with the lack of air conditioning in the place are quite annoying. The bar tenders are quick to serve. There are plenty of bouncers at the club

This club is very unique and definitely keeps the girls that at “working” trying to rob people out with their entry fee. The little burger shack right before the entrance has food that tastes so good that I almost bought another burger! Inside you’ll fine 2 rooms and a lot of places to take pictures.

Great atmosphere, very fun.

We booked transportation from Imagine and it picked us up from our resort and took us back at 2:30am for 24USD so we didn’t have to spend insane amount of money on Uber on the way back! But they did pick up other people from other resorts on the way there so it took us 2 hours to get there! The place was very secure and worth going to. No food but there was a dude selling burgers right outside and after partying for 4 hours straight, the burger felt like heaven! Lots of Spanish music which was not surprising at all but they did play a little pit bull and J-Lo so it wasn’t all bad! The dancers were very entertaining and I loved the dude on stilts who made videos with everyone and made everyone feel included!

No food. Nice place. Good atmosphere. Get the premium drink. Watch out for the sky high Uber prices afterwards but it’s not Imagines fault. Get the app inDrive. Don’t use Uber at night. Use a fair amount for where your going.

Wonderful service and food. In-depth below. Ordered for apps Chicken patte not as flavourful as the marlin.the plate felt bland in comparison. (4/10) Marlin carpaccio wow. Smokey spicy delicious very balanced. Everything works soo smoothly. (10/10) Scallops they just melt in your mouth. Very wonderful creamy delicious the carmilazed onion does wonders charred parm is wow. (10/10) Mains TAGLIATELLES with seafood. Felt very home made but like in a bad way. You every make pasta end of the month you have lots of veggies and your like meh might as well add them in there. Nothing special. (4/10) Grilled lobster is beautiful with that squeeze of lime wow melts in your mouth the risotto elevates the dish wonderfully. (10/10) Short ribs perfection thats all. (10/10) Chicken surprise. Is very underwhelming nothing great about it but still very edible compared to other foods at coral. (5.5/10) Dessert. White chocolate cheeskake underwhelming. (4/10) Crepes suzette sour sweet delicious. (9/10)

We didn't have high hopes going into this because we had only ate at the buffet before this but it was surprisingly good. Food was good, service was fantastic, and the staff here spoke some English so it was easier here than other places. Music was elevator music on repeat, but the atmosphere is cute

Interesting food options for sure. It's definitely worth trying. Appetizer scallops were average. The steak tenderloin was great and they can cook it the correct way...unless you like your steak cooked like jerky then you would mention it would still be mooing! Turkey dish was flavorful. Dessert wasn't bad I tried the chocolate cake and cheesecake.

I ordered the grilled lobster. It was grilled langastinos, but it looked more like mud and Luke warm....very disappointed. The salmon caneloni was excellent! All the soups so far have been great!! We returned again and we ordered chateau briand, but it was not even room temperature...again disappointing.

Chateaubriand was amazing, perfectly cooked the sauces were completely unnecessary. My wife had the zucchini and saffron risotto which was also fantastic. Ambiance was a pleasant surprise, not that I could say exactly what I expected. Service was incredibly attentive. Definitely worth visiting, and don't scrimp on the wine.

So i am writing this review explaining my experience in general, don’t expect the food at all inclusive resort to be great, food is below average specially the open buffet ones. This one here was okay, the service is beyond amazing but the food itself wasn’t that good, i don’t know maybe because it’s already paid so they don’t care much about the quality but still i think there is a huge room for improvements.

One of the best dining restaurants in Punta Cana. The atmosphere and the service and most of all the food are everyone’s dream.
