Top Dolphin Explorer Hotel Reviews

Serenade All Suites - Adults Only Resort

4/10 Poor

"Property is ok but my room had problems and the buffet need a major makeover the pool was good and the bartenders were great the welcome can be better when your resort gets new guests they should feel like this is going to be a great vacation mabe have a great cocktail to greet them or something"

Serenade Punta Cana Beach & Spa Resort - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The property exhibited an impressive aesthetic; however, several aspects raised concerns. 1. The room door required forceful closure to engage the lock. 2. The Wi-Fi connectivity was consistently poor and intermittent across the entire premises. 3. During a late-night meal in the buffet, a significant presence of cockroaches was observed in the pizza area."

Barceló Bávaro Palace - All Inclusive

6/10 Okay

"Our stay at this resort was a mixed experience, though unfortunately the negatives far outweighed the positives. The natural setting is truly stunning, the beach was beautiful and the palm trees made for a gorgeous backdrop. The concierge was warm, helpful, and professional throughout our stay. Sadly, that's where the highlights end. The buffet staff was consistently unfriendly and unapproachable, which cast a shadow over the entire trip. The room cleanliness was a serious concern. The floor was unswept with a persistent musty odor, and the bathroom was the worst of it. There was a stale urine smell, and when I wiped down the walls myself, my wipes came back yellow, strongly suggesting old urine buildup. Housekeeping needs to wipe down all surfaces including walls after every turnover. The shower grout was dingy and needs to be scrubbed clean between guests. Mirrors and glass throughout the room were also covered in fingerprints upon arrival. The buffet food was poor and the frozen drinks tasted stale. The deserts were ok. The pool had so many loose tiles it felt unsafe, a hazard that needs immediate attention. This resort sits in a beautiful location with real potential, but it needs a serious overhaul in housekeeping, food quality, staff training, and maintenance before it can live up to its surroundings."

Dreams Flora Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

6/10 Okay

"Room was clean stuff some people lazy some will help to much pressure to buy something or services over all good compare to resorts in Mexico will go back to Mexico before coming back to DR also stupid imigration question going in and out wasted time not sure what they need it for ?"

Catalonia Royal Bavaro - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was amazing, the staff were very friendly and informative. Rosa & Randy did an amazing job and made my stay welcoming & fun. The food was amazing and drinks were made very well. The Asian restaurant Tao Cat was my favorite it was very good. Don’t forget to reserve dinner as soon as you get there for all of your nights. There were multiple pools and it was super clean. We also had access to other side of the hotel and the nightclub dj played a variety of music. Overall an amazing stay and I will definitely return."
