My husband and I have been here 8 times! Overall it has consistently gotten better. Service is great, renovations have been phenomenal, food is delicious. We always do the extras— rum tastings, wine tastings, spa, romantic dinner. This time we brought 4 friends. Resort is huge with lots of things to do. Perfect for a group. Favorites this trip were the spa, dinner at Toro, and the frozen mojitos.

2 weeks in paradise

Reviewed By Natashaxox

We travelled as a family of 7 to Dreams Royal Beach, for 3 of us it was our third time at this hotel, however when we last came it was Secrets not Dreams. Since changing to Dreams we did notice a lot of differences most not for the best, however still had a lovely holiday. There are 4 a la cartes which we found over 2 weeks became very repetitive as the menu doesn’t change however there were a lot of options to choose from on each menu. The hotel itself is amazing with beautiful pools. Punta Cana does seem to have a seaweed problem on its beaches, however this hotel worked day and night to clear this so it was nice for the guests, which didn’t go unnoticed. Would like to give a special shout out Karina who was excellente and had our drinks for breakfast ready before we even ordered them! Also Ceaser at the seaside grill and Yudetel at the interlude bar who was fantastic! If you choose to come to this hotel you will definitely not be disappointed!!

Beautiful Resort

Reviewed By plfarrmore

Beautiful resort and very spacious suites. Clean, well-manicured grounds and plenty of space to find a spot without being too close to others. Our experience with our assigned butler was excellent. Jeffrey was attentive and checked in with us daily just to make sure we had what we needed to have a wonderful stay. He consistently responded to all text messages and keep us informed. The staff were very pleasant and happy to be of service. Kennedy (bartender) was very nice and made his specialty drink which was fantastic. On a not so positive note, our room had an extreme mildew smell which they tried to resolve and offered to change the room if the remedies did not work. We chose to keep our room and not risk the chance of another problem. Overall, the food was not the best, however my husband loved the lamb chops at the French restaurant. We both enjoyed dinner at the Japanese restaurant. The drinks were good, but I'd recommend going to the bar to get them yourself. It could be just us, but it seemed when drinks were brought to us while on the beach or pool, they seemed to be watered down, but tastier when prepared in front of you. Ocean view (room 4310) was more like a partial view as it was blocked by a huge palm tree. We'll likely visit again with hopes that the food improves over time. I'd recommend to friends and family with a disclaimer about the food. They are close to perfection.

Iberostar Grand Bavaro

Only 20 minutes from the international airport of Punta Cana and located in one of the most emblematic beaches of the eastern region of the Dominican Republic we find the Iberostar Grand Hotel Bávaro. Majestic in its external appearance and in its decoration, it responds to a project devised by the prestigious Mexican architect Fernando Quirarte and inspired by Greco-Roman architecture. Its gardens and varied representation of native species found in a lush central lake, where it hosts a spectacular sailboat reproduced in real size and converted into one of the most original bars in the entire Caribbean, make this hotel a unique place. In addition, staying at our hotels will help take care of the planet thanks to our Wave of Change initiative: throughout 2020, all our rooms are free of single-use plastics, which will be replaced by other materials that are more environmentally friendly. This ambitious initiative will also be extended to the rest of the hotel areas. Together with its luxury facilities, an unbeatable environment, pioneering impulses, an exclusive attention also stands out: customers talk about the unforgettable experience of the stewardship service. Luxury, a service that is completed with a SPA overlooking the Caribbean Sea, careful with the environment, this hotel gathers everything to give its guests a personalized and unique stay.

Perfect vacation!

Reviewed By 744alenay

Our vacation was perfect in every way! The resort is beautiful and service was amazing everywhere we went. We booked “the Level, suite, beachside” and were about 15 steps from the main pool and about a 30 second walk to the beach. I would definitely recommend upgrading to “The Level” if you can, it is worth it! The main lobby was about an 8 minute beautiful walk but there are trains that run every ten minutes as well. Our concierge Nathanael was the best and helped us with every little thing that we asked! He checked in on us via WhatsApp or in person every morning, made our dinner reservations at the restaurants, helped us book our buggy tour, and scheduled our Covid tests the day before our flight (this was mandatory at the time to return to the US). He helped our vacation run smoothly! The food was great with lots of options at all the buffets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner: salad bar, pizzas, pasta bar at dinner, omelette bar for breakfast, fresh fruit, so many desserts, and so much more! Between the four of us who traveled, we all found something to eat. The beach was very clean and well maintained. At the time we went there were a couple days where the seaweed was pretty bad but there is a tractor that comes around in the morning and afternoon to try to clean it up. We did not mind it at all though, it is the ocean after all! Prepare yourselves to be approached by people walking on the beach trying to sell you jewelry, cigars, excursions, etc. They are all very friendly and just trying to make a living. With a simple “no thank you” they will continue on their way. Overall, our stay at Meliá Caribe was wonderful and I would definitely recommend booking your vacation here!

Upgrade Dumbness

Reviewed By raymondk544

I am currently staying here- on the website the price difference between a swim out room and a non swim out room was 70 dollars. When I checked in my wife and I fell in love with the swim out room and wanted to pay for an upgrade. The pricing of the upgrade was more expensive then the cost of the room by itself on the actual website. After back and forth they wanted to charge me for the price of 3 rooms to upgrade meanwhile the price difference online was 70 dollars. Stupidity Noone is helpful
