I went to Paradisus Palma Real for a wedding last summer. The resort was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, many guests had problems with their rooms. It was only open for less than a year when we stayed there...so maybe there were kinks that they were still trying to fix.

DITTOOOO!!!!!!!

we went to Iberostar Bavaro this past may and omg it was GREAT! we had a graet time and never had to leave the resort. the staff is very nice and the drinks weren't watered down.

just one piece of advice---verify that any construction at the place will be done. they were re-vamping the swim-up bar section of the pool while we were there and we couldn't use it. BUT i'm pretty sure it has to be done by now and ready for use and better than ever.

i have heard that Excellence Punta Cana is GREAT HM spot as well---its a little more $$ than the other resorts -- but from friends who have gone there, they said it was amazing.

the beach and water in Punta Cana is unreal--you'll have a great time if you choose that place!

Paradisus Punta Cana

We've gone for the past two years and love it there. Gorgeous beach, great restaurants, casino and night life. Can't beat it!

Re: Domincan Republic

I love love love it!!!! Not only b/c i myself am Dominican but the food is great, the people are wonderful, culture, dancing and even better its very inexpensive. Punta Cana is good and so is La Romana, but even staying In Santo Domingo is great too you just have to choose the right one. hope you have a great time!!!

Re: Domincan Republic

I went to Punta Cana once..we stayed at Occidental Allergo, which was great but I wouldn't reccommend it for a honeymoon! I would reccommend Punta Cana just a different resort!

Re: Domincan Republic

We just went for a week this past February to Excellence Punta Cana and LOVED it. Lots of choices for restaurants, beautiful rooms, great pools and the people who work there were just the nicest I've encountered on a vacation. We would definitely recommend it.
