having read mixed reviews on this site we were not quite sure what to expect. We write as a 40 something English couple who have no option other than to suffer the terrible service industries thrust upon us in the uk : bad service, rip off prices, queues, small portions of mediocre food etc. Not to mention the traffic !... more

We stayed at the Punta Cana in block 4000 for one week in May 2008. We had a fantastic time!! I read the reviews before booking and was fully prepared to get up and find a bed at the beach or the pool but there was no need at all - quiet week. The first morning, due to the time... more

I have just returned from an 8 day trip with my boyfriend, sister and brother-in-law. All 4 have decided we will never go back to this resort. To start things off, the reception area was EXTREMELY rude. Their "Supervisor" was one of the worst. Asking politley gets you no where there. There are no ATM's or ways of taking out... more

Arrival: $20 taxi if you speak Spanish and walk 200meters from the airport exit. At the hotel was a completely different situation. Had e-mailed ahead since this was a return trip to get the 3000 block. Arrived @ 500PM and given the room keys to a 4000 room. Told, somewhat snidely, that it was the better building. After a 12... more

Simply put, best vacation ever. We stayed for one week from April 24th to May 1st and were blown away by the experience. If you are thinking of going to Punta Cana, this should be the resort you visit, you will not be disappointed!! Food: Amazing. First off, the resort is huge, so there are many, many restaurants to choose... more

We stayed at the Grand Palladium Punta Cana the week of April 5th, with a group of 20 for our wedding. Wedding: WOW! Not one thing went wrong or was missed. Carolina our wedding coordinator was great. If your thinking of getting married here, go for it! PM me if you want more details. Food: great restaurants, long pant policy... more

We're a couple in our late twenties, and stayed at this resort with another couple from May 4 - 11, 2008...we're now nice and relaxed! Overall, this was a really great place - we've travelled to many other AIs and this falls somewhere between a 4-4.5 star hotel based on experience. Check-in and check-out: seamless and quick - (other than... more

We stayed at the GP Punta Cana Section for two weeks at the end of April. First, the Punta Cana sections is the place to be - it is cheaper than Bavaro and Palace sections and is centrally located within the 3 resorts so its not a long walk to any other areas of the complex. We are a young... more

A group of us (5 women friends) stayed a the Grand Palladium Punta Cana for 2 weeks in March. The hotel location is perfect and the beach is awesome! However, it's not very wide as some people commented, so you sometimes feel like sardines on top of one another. And a big problem is finding chairs in the morning. Luckily,... more
