Everything about Melia Carribe is truth, but I liked it anyway. The beach is amazing. The food is not bad at all, especially the dinner buffet is the best than any resorts I have been to. Rooms look old, didn't bother me at all. Everything needed was there. The gardens are always taken care of.
Why does traveling from the United States to the Dominican Republic cost so much? Where would you suggest making an airline and hotel reservation? Would you suggest a particular website? Thanks
Hola Alex! Thanks for the suggestion, we haven't visited Sunscape Coco but it's definitely on our list =) As soon as we stay there, we'll make a review about it =)
That's too bad! ☹️ Our experience at the Margaritaville was great when we visited... Would you mind sharing what went wrong for you so other travelers read your experience?
@ well the AC basically stopped working at night. The shower had no hot water. We reported this to the concierge but nothing was ever done. The final night we had several cockroaches come into the room….. The hotel calls itself all inclusive but that’s not true. They charge you for a cabana by the pool. They charge you for all top shelf liquor. The restaurants were basically all closed during our stay (Saturday-Tuesday). I have some dietary restrictions and they couldn’t accommodate and had no alternatives at all. We reported this to management and they basically called us liars that none of this happened.
@ bad AC and no hot water. We found cockroaches in the room. We notified management of this and basically told us we were liars when we reported this to management upon check out. The property is not all inclusive since they charge for cabanas and top shelf liquor.

Agree Ocean El Far was the worst resort my family and I have ever been too. My wife and I have food poisoning, rooms have a strong smell and had to be moved. Pools were not clean and all the a la cart restaurants below average. I’m done with Dominican.
Hola, Tony! Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm so sorry you had such bad experience. DR has amazing hotels, the Ocean El Faro is not one of them. Here's our list of best hotels we've visited in Punta Cana: th-cam.com/video/1a54m1M203E/w-d-xo.html
I lived in Mexico for 2.5 yrs peudo negociar un mejor trato. I would love to go to the Dominican Republic! Me falta llana, I hate all of Canada Jan Feb. I loved Saltillo, the countryside of Monterrey but not the city and Mexico City. Not been to a tropical beach, I was in Mexico to work.
@@NittyGrittyTravelers We used to have the Sandwich Isles and I wonder why we truned down Turcs and Caicos Islands and Jamaice-Canada needs a place in the sun. I'm too autistic stupid poor to vacation but I could use a wanr winter place to work.
Have you found Hyatt Zira/Zilara in Cap Cana worth DOUBLE nightly cost of that of Hyatt’s Dreams Oynx/Breathless? I really enjoyed Dreams based on your recommendation this year, and am planning on heading back in Sept 2025. Just not sure going back again to Dreams/Breathess or do Zilara/Ziva.
I can't tell you about Hyatt Zira in Punta Cana, but in Rivera Maya it was the worst. Room was nice, but that's it. They are very tricky and do things to save money on customers.

Staying Melia in February. Resort was chosen by a group of people. I'm looking for more nightlife at night, any ideas?
Hi Ari & Jhon, I love your content! Can you comment on the Sunscape Coco Punta Cana?
Hola Alex! Thanks for the suggestion, we haven't visited Sunscape Coco but it's definitely on our list =) As soon as we stay there, we'll make a review about it =)
Thank you guys! Great review especially considering the fact that most of the bloggers mostly focus on positives 🙏🙂
Hola! Thank you! 🙂
Add Margaritaville to this list. I just did 3 days there. it’s complete garbage and horrible management.

Yes, it does. Our stay at the Hyatt Zilara was amazing, here's our review: th-cam.com/video/rGhJhLLUkTQ/w-d-xo.html
RIU should absolutely be on this list!
Why,? I am booking it this weekend.
What's wrong with the hotel?
@@hp1038I’ve been to the riu in punta cana, the food was meh, but overall I had a great time
En otras palabras es una porqueria
Todo lo contrario! Punta Cana es bella pero tiene hoteles que no son tan buenos así como hoteles asombrosos.
@@NittyGrittyTravelers y cuales son los asombrosos?
