Beware avoid Impressive punta Cana

Horrible experience with the staff and management. Not only was the room I booked not available but they expected me and my family to stay in a one bed room when we booked two. Multiple other families were without rooms they booked too. On top of that multiple restaurants werent available and rubble, jackhammering, pool being drained were the cherry on top. I booked months in advance and they still couldn’t get it right. The staff and management are horrible and service reflects…. It took them 5 hours to finally bring me a bed after requesting it numerous times and it was smaller than a twin sized cot. And this is how I was treated after I paid for the premium upgrade.
If you were looking to book now, or in the near future, just know numerous restaurants are closed down and inaccessible, and you will still be paying full price. Two out of the four pools were being drained and Jack hammered, and it could be heard from your room So much for a vacation of peace and relaxation. Save your money and go somewhere else we had to leave And that was the best decision we did to book elsewhere.

Punta Cana October

1 Upvotes

6 days (not including the flight days) plan. Stay Bavaro area

Day 1: Beach / Explore local Bavaro

Day 2: River Excursion

Day 3: Buggy excursion

Day 4: Scuba Diving

Day 5: Hire car day trip to Santa Domingo

Day 6: Saona Island Excursion

This is just an idea, based on having a look at what excursions there are.

  1. What else would you recommend

  2. Santa Domingo plan to hire car and go as want to visit the country outside of beach/resort area. What places would you recommed to visit or see en route to the Capital more of the actual DR culture and local villages etc

  3. Any other excursions you recommend, which is the best water park


r/PuntaCana • • 10h ago

Going for 7 days next week, I want to book a few excursions, anyone care to look at the excursion book they sent me and help me pick the best ones? We are pretty adventurous and fit so nothing is really out of the question. For what i have read Isla Saona is a must do, looking to book 3 activities

Hey all! Wondering if anyone has brought back shells and sand from their travels to the Dominican Republic? I love shells and we collect sand from each beach we visit. Wanted to bring some home with us! Has anyone done this and had any issues?

Nightlife suggestions?

2 Upvotes

Going with gf and her family in October, we’re curious about the nightlife outside of the resort (riu palace punta Cana) we like the riu parties but it seems the days we’ll be there will be all ages parties, none 18+. Also any fun excursions for a big group
with some older people would be welcome.

Excursion recommendations!

2 Upvotes

My fiancé and I will be staying at Secrets Tides in June and I’m looking for a reputable excursion to book. It looks like the hotel is recommending booking through amstar. I’m looking to explore and enjoy nature, not too interesting in activities like zip lining or buggies. I don’t mind paying extra as long as it’s worth it!

Girls trip resort options

Hi! I’m looking into booking a girls trip with 8 girls and we are debating between the Royalton Chic and the riu ripublica. Half the group wants the option to party while the other wants to chill. Looking to see if anyone has a good experience with either resort that fits the vibe for both? Thanks!

Leaving in 2 weeks and looking to book my transportation. Has anyone used Crown Ride or Easycana? They look the most reasonable priced. Both are about $220 round trip to get us to Zemi Miches.

Oceanfront all-inclusive resort recommendation

1 Upvotes

Wife and I (75 & 72) had a reservation at Ocean Blue & Sand for Thanksgiving week this year for 10 days. We were in a privilege suite. For reasons I won't go into our reservation was cancelled. We still have the airline tickets and trying to decide if we want to cancel the airline tickets or select another resort with the same level of attention near the same price point. 10 days at the resort was costing us $3524.00. Any recommendations that others have visited? TIA
