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

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.

Beautiful beach. That was the last stop on our buggie trip and was worthed to stop by and enjoy the view. I wish we've had enough time to go for a swim. The water looks amazing and inviting for a swim.

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.

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.

Memorable experience with dolphins, a sea lion and perequitos! I love to know Dali and Picasso! 😍😍🐬 However, The water was dark due algaes( I used photoshop to make a pleasant pic) , the guy said that the clear water depends of the season, the best one is December -April. Also, they doesn't allow you to record or take pictures with your phone, to charge you an very expensive price for the pictures took by photographers! Other places, like monkeyland they allow cellphones and cameras and the pics package is very cheap, including a printed one for your memory.

This was the best experience ever! I've always dreamed of meeting a dolphin and this went above and beyond! We got to pet them, play with them, and do tricks with them! I highly recommend!!!

The dolphin experience was cute, and the kids were really excited. We were in the sea wearing life jackets, and the staff was very nice. Everyone from the age 3 and the high 1.10 meters can do it. The price is 109$ for a child and adults pay from 109$ for the cheapest activitie. If you have a car I recommend you to come with your own car otherwise you will have to wait for the pick up an hour and half after the activity ends. But the way they handle the photos is just a rip-off. It starts when they show you all the pictures and say the price is $200, then they tell you that doesn’t include the videos (another $60), and finally, they mention that it also doesn’t include the pictures with the parrots and the sea lion (an extra $100). It’s a shame that this is the feeling you’re left with when leaving the place. Even when we wanted to buy just a single photo, they asked for $40 (!!) for one picture with the dolphins. It’s really disappointing to end such an experience — one the kids were so looking forward to — on that note. Having to add another $300 just for photos, on top of an activity that was already the most expensive of the trip, is simply outrageous. It’s frustrating that this is how they operate — and that it seems acceptable to them.

On October 3rd, 2025, my wife and I visited Dolphin Explorer, hoping to have a beautiful experience with dolphins and create a happy memory. However, from the very beginning, we were divided into three groups of ten people each, and we immediately felt like we were in a factory rather than a leisure place. They kept giving us commands: “Sit, smile, go.” When we arrived at the area where the dolphins were, I couldn’t believe my eyes — the water was red and had a terrible smell. Still, we decided to go into the water. We only touched the dolphins for about 3–5 seconds, while the same commands continued: “Touch the dolphin, raise your hand, smile, and go.” If I were an animal protection organization, I would have shut this place down immediately because the dolphins live in extremely dirty water. After leaving the water, something even stranger happened. We wanted to go back home, but they didn’t let us. Instead, we were forced to sit in the restaurant inside the facility for about an hour and have dinner. Later, we wanted to check and buy our photos, but they looked like they were taken on a factory line — rushed and careless. In most of them, our eyes were closed, or we looked bad. Despite that, they asked for $150 for 20 photos. I only wanted to buy the ones I liked, but they refused; we had to buy all of them. I tried to explain: “Look, my eyes are closed in this one. Each photo costs around $11, so I don’t want this one,” but no one listened to me.

Must read before booking! If I had known what this experience was really like, I would never have booked it. We are a family of four (two adults and two young kids), and during our trip to Punta Cana ( OCT 25 ) we decided to book a dolphin encounter. If I could give negative stars, I absolutely would. 1. The whole operation is focused on upselling and pushing you to buy extra packages, especially photos and videos. 2. The photo\video prices are simply outrageous. A photo package for a family of four costs $260 USD! And some parts are not included. 3. You are not allowed to take your own photos, and although they claim to have professional photographers, the pictures were terrible. They completely missed key moments (like the dolphin kissing my child), and most photos were taken facing the sun, so we had our eyes closed the whole time. No sunglasses are allowed either. 4. The water platform is not suitable for children, and even my wife (1.60m tall) struggled to stand on her toes against the waves while holding our child — making it nearly impossible to follow the instructor’s directions. 5. The morning transfer took about an hour and a half, even though the site is only 40 minutes from our hotel, because they pick up people from multiple hotels. Very hard with small kids. Bottom line: we came with great expectations and left deeply disappointed. My mistake was not reading enough Google reviews before to understand what we were getting into. This review is my way of helping others. I hope you read this before booking and make an informed decision.

Other than that the place is a scam. They sell you one thing and when you arrive they argue that no it’s not possible even with a receipt. First of all they couldn’t find our reservations, thankfully we had the guys phone number that sold us the exertion, we called him and magically they found our reservations. The staff here are soooooooooo rude. I can’t even stress how rude they are. They take u around and in and out so u can buy more and waste ur time. The actual time with the dolphin is so limited. The group size is huge so ur literally just standing there for ur turn. Regardless of all that. The rudeness of the staff is unacceptable. They should hire nice people since they want tourists to come around. Staff leave u and walk away bc they’re so rude.

At first were very excited about this activity but at the end disappointed. We didn’t receive enough or good informations about how much you paid for which activity with dolphins. Don’t get me wrong my family and I had fun but we which we could swim cause swimming is the most important part that made us choosing the activity, but we didn’t nobody said anything to us and we paid. Secondly the photos,we’re not allowed to use our cameras cause they have their photographers(I get it,fully understand). But,please guys be honest and professional,your packages are expensive so take good shots,don’t just multiply the same image just to reach a certain number of photos and bim that it. We had to payed $150 for 54 photos(1 photo times 3 or 4) and we didn’t even receive the one with the parrots just frustrated. Last part is the movie(we choose to not pay for it because they put the other family in our movie and also the price. They don’t tell customers what they’re doing and we let them cause we think they are professionals. I am not feeling sorry about my review just want to help other people to know about what it’s or what it looks like. Be honest and professional

Fantastic place, very scenic beach, turquoise water great for swimming. Scuba diving and snorkelling there was excellent due to healthy coral, abundance of marine life, and perfect visibility. We came there with a Scuba Caribe tour from Hilton La Romana and the tour was perfectly organized. Highly recommend when staying in Bayahibe arein the

What an amazing day! Some of the best snorkeling. We took a day trip that we booked with Dive Klub at our resort. The pickup was a little discombobulated, which made us nervous, but it worked out great. We had a traditional Dominican lunch that was delicious and we snorkeled for most of the day. We saw an octopus and so so many unique fish. We were well taken care of and returned to our resort safely. Take your own towel. They have everything else including all the drinks and food. Shout out to Naldo…thanks for so much fun and care.

One of my favorite places here, so, so, so beautiful island, and so clear water, color is perfect! 😍 everything is nice and beautiful, quiet place. I like because there are not too many people, it is more like a private island. there are a couple of bars also.

Beautiful island and probably the best place for snorkeling in the Dominican Republic. We took an excursion from Punta Cana and it was definitely worth it. It was a bumpy ride back because of the high waves but we had fun drinking and dancing. Blue crystal water with white beaches, palm trees, souvenir shops, and some restaurants. We saw some fishes and beautiful corals while snorkeling. Overall a great experience.

Island is beautiful. Fantastic place. Would get 5 stars but the best snorkeling was in a place where lots of boats come to drop people of. We'll worth a visit.

Some of the most pretty water in the world. Luckily each excursion has their own private areas. The beach chairs, food, and drinks come with the tour. (For us, for most i assume). Good place for snorkeling and swimming). No real privacy here, but the water is well worth it.

Water - BEAUTIFUL turquoise colour and so clean you could see the ground so clearly 😍 we saw dolphins on the way back too ❤️ but the beach 👎 I think the company (TORTUGA) paid for the cheapest spot on the Catalina island and they took us there . It’s NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURES THEY SHOW YOU or you can see on Google. That must be other part of the island. Not enough sun beds and the ALL INCLUSIVE was actually few drinks (rum and coke or rum and sprite ) that you can mix on the beach yourself. And ….. half of white sandwich with a tiny slice of cheese. Just awful. Also no catamaran only speedboat. Except of the dolphins 🐬, it wasn’t worth the money. Go with different company and go to SAONA I highly recommend 😍

Great time for our family!!!! Bring sun screen, bug spray and water to drink. Price was reasonable for what we were able to do all day. Guides and staff were friendly, kind and helpful. Our family of six were able to park for free. Pay and get in the park very quickly. The staff will convert your payment into Dominican pesos quickly and let you know what you are spending in dollars. My favorite was jumping into the “Oyó Azul”. Cool and refreshing. Bring walking shoes that can get wet. Towels, backpack and a credit card were safe in the lockers that were guarded by a staff members. We had fun and felt safe as a family!!!!! Grasias para todo. Lo pasamos muy bien.

A little smaller than expected with a bit of a hike to get there, but beautiful! Life jackets available once you get down there. Water is cold and refreshing.

Perfect blue waters, It's exactly as seen in the pictures. You'll feel like flying, Prepare to walk for a while and be mindful that's a bit small. It was crowded when we went, so we had to wait in line to jump inside, but it was totally worth it. #recommended @Aventure.dos

I went here on an excursion. Spent a lot of time getting there. I was a little disappointed. It's kinda small and when I went out was very crowded. Little room to swim or enjoy it. It was beautiful but not what I expected.

It's worth seeing but probably not worth spending a ton of time at. It's fun to jump (10 feet?) into the water, but the water is cold because there is no direct sunlight and the swimming space isn't very big.

This place was beautiful. If you go late in the day you can get the place to yourself. It's super magical. Jump of the ledge and it won't seem cold.

They closed the gates and we stuck there. They requested us to pay a bribe of $350 to open the gates. Had to brake it to escape. Then they were chasing us on a car with a shotgun. Tried to kill or smth. But we drove away They charge 69$ for this cinote which is a lot. You can go to other similar places and pay $4/pp. its kind of a scam

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! Our butler, Sammy, was truly the standout of our trip. He was incredibly attentive, always quick to help with any questions or needs, and consistently delivered everything with such high quality. He greeted us with a smile every single time and even joined in on our family jokes and laughter, which made our stay feel extra special and personal. The staff at the members pool and beach were also top notch—friendly, professional, and always making sure we were comfortable. The amenities throughout the property were impressive, and we loved the diversity of food options at the restaurants. Overall, it was a fantastic experience start to finish, and we can’t wait to return!

Went down for the fifth time to HR with our teenagers. We had fun golfing, the beach is gorgeous. The food is decent for an all inclusive. The staff is just amazing. Our butlers Elvido and Rafael handle everything to make the vacation smooth. The staff at the HOF beach area are attentive and our friends at Uncorked always arrange nice quiet evenings. Looking forward to see them all again at Christmas and New Year’s. HR make a wickedly fun New Year’s party. Patricia and Billy

We had a wonderful stay at this spacious all-inclusive resort! The pools are fantastic — especially the central pool, thanks to the amazing bartenders Anderson, Richard, Yeiry, and Hairol. They’re so friendly, attentive, and always bring a great vibe. The restaurants were excellent, and the food was consistently delicious with plenty of variety. The beach is beautiful and perfect for relaxing. Overall, a great place with great people. We truly enjoyed our vacation and would happily return!

We just returned from our trip to the Hard Rock Hotel in Punta Cana, and the highlight of our entire stay was our incredible butler, Sammy. From the moment we arrived, he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Sammy was attentive without ever being intrusive. He visited with us multiple times a day and regularly messaged us to check-in and provide information about the day’s activities. He handled every request from our 8-person party quickly, and learned our family fast and seemed to anticipate what we needed before we even asked. Whether it was arranging dinner and spa reservations, car service, tee times, room requests, and even special requests, his service was truly exceptional. What really stood out was his kindness and genuine desire to make our vacation special. He was always smiling, always professional, and made us feel like Hall-of-Famers the entire time. He always cut up and made jokes with the guys and treated the ladies like queens. If you’re staying at Hard Rock Punta Cana and have the chance to request a butler, ask for Sammy. He absolutely made our trip unforgettable, and we can’t thank him enough. He’s been part of the Hard Rock family for over 9 years and is hands-down the best butler that we have had. He has tons of experience and personality.

Our waitress at the beach Jamayris was so awesome. She was friendly and very attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed. The rooms were very nice and clean and spacious. The concierge at the beach “Scooby Doo” was the best! He checked with us every day to make sure we were having the best time and that all of our needs were met. We highly recommend this hotel!!!

My stay at this hotel was truly exceptional. The property is beautiful, immaculate, and thoughtfully designed, but what elevated my experience to another level was the extraordinary service provided by my butler, Brayner Rodriguez Pache. Brayner’s professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine warmth made me feel incredibly well taken care of from the moment I arrived. He consistently anticipated my needs, handled every request with efficiency and grace, and added thoughtful touches that made my stay unforgettable. His dedication to excellence is clear, and his hospitality is truly world-class. The room was elegant and comfortable, the amenities were excellent, and every staff member I encountered was welcoming. But Brayner’s personalized service was the highlight of my stay and the reason I would confidently recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a luxurious and memorable experience. I look forward to returning — and I sincerely hope to be assisted by Brayner Rodriguez Pache again.

Had a fantastic time at Hard Rock Punta Cana!! The staff was amazing. The servers were awesome and always taking care of us. Special shout out to Mariluz Pablo and Lorena at the Hall of Fame pool. Also super special shout outs to Scooby Doo at Hall of Fame pool and our butlers OG and Mariel. They took care of all our needs. They knew what we needed before we did. Also the spa staff was great!
