Best Hotels near Reserva Ecologica Ojos Indigenas (Los Ojos Eco Journey), Punta Cana

I really liked this hotel. All of the staff was nice, food was decent, and the entertainment was awesome. Learn some Spanish and Stay on the property when visiting the DR this is a poor country and a lot of parts look unsafe. The only complaint is the couch in the villa smelled horrible. Like previous people had went and played in the ocean and came and sat on the couch, however, I did not let management know so I can’t really complain also had trouble getting the tub to work.

The cafeteria is very good, there are several restaurants, the service is very professional, I thought the first room had an odor and immediately helped me change to another room. The room is big, but the quilt is too thin, not used to it. Everything else is fine. Quiet and safe.

On the first day of my stay, I first checked the toilet of the toilet. The toilet of the toilet was not cleaned and disinfected. I wiped the toilet with toilet paper, and there were yellow urine stains on the toilet paper. The coffee, coffee mate, and sugar in the room are not replaced in time every day. Lack of nightshow.

This review is for the UNIQUE part of Lopesan Costa Bavaro. My wife and I spent 4 nights in May 2023. We had an amazing time during our stay that was nothing short of amazing. Our butler Victor was amazing and made sure no question went unanswered, no request was too much for him. We spent most of our time in the UNIQUE specific amenities (Restaurant/Bar/Beach/Pool) – the breakfast and lunch buffet very tremendous, the food was great and there was something for everyone. We especially enjoyed the fresh passionfruit at breakfast. The service at the beach was great, rarely did we not have a passionfruit margarita in our hands. The restaurants for dinner (We did the Steakhouse, the French restaurant, the UNIQUE only restaurant and the restaurant where UNIQUE members don’t have to pay extra to eat at) where all really good – the food was always very tasty, the presentation was appealing to the eye and service was friendly and fast. The room was clean, quiet and we always came back to a perfectly made room after our time at the beach. We are looking forward to our next stay!

This is our fourth visit this time we decided to do a little bit differently. We love the adults only side but the rooms are a little dated so we booked a room at the Barcelo palace, premium level ocean front in building one, but spent most of our time, in fact, all of our time in the adults only section. The service in this resort is truly spectacular. The ladies by the pool, Belkis, Ava Marleny are truly superb and take care of you with wonderful service. You really don’t need to swim up bar with these ladies George and Marleny from the entertainment team always swing bye have a chat to you very welcome and invite you to do the Zumba etc.. The Buffay at Karibe is awesome. The selection is truly amazing the wait staff from one of the managers, Iris and Maria are such a welcome part to the day. The chefs are more than willing to make anything for you at breakfast not counting salads, cheeses and pastries. I counted 37 options , anybody who complains about this food he’s really not used to traveling I see a lot of mentions about five star you have to understand. This resort is a five star by Barcelo standards not by the international hotel ratings if you would compare this to a four seasons, Conrad, JD Marriott, or Ritz Carlton. Of course it’s not going to measure up, but at 350 at night all inclusive it’s hard to find fault . We met a lot of airline pilots and air crew at this resort. I think it’s fair to say that they are used to staying in pretty high-end properties. All of the pilots recommended Chez gourmet, and we’ve been a number of times. The service is exemplary, and the food is spectacular. My wife could not decide between lobster tail and château Briand so our wonderful server brought her both I must give a big shout out to Mabel and Premium services. She takes care of all our restaurant bookings. Make sure we get the room that we like, and always look out for us having an awesome It is true that the adults only side the rooms are old and in need of refurbishment and the resort is looking a little tired in some areas, but it is spotlessly clean very very well-maintained, and this price point is hard to beat We found our perfect four day vacation spot. We now arrive Sunday leave Thursday stay at the palace side in a premium level, oceanfront Jacuzzi room and spend our time enjoying the beach and the fabulous service at adults only side. I recently read a lot of reviews how people think the staff are surly and rude to be honest with you. I have always found that you get out what you put in , we always make time to chat with the staff. We tip consistently and accordingly and it is very well received. We find the staff at this resort to be exemplary. The lunch Buffay at Las Brisas is truly spectacular. You come ask the chefs to make anything that you like Please, PM me for any questions.

I was pleasantly surprised with the family, friendly atmosphere. Our first dinner we where greeted by a very friendly Mr Esequiel. He took our orders, gave recommendations to some of the foods and drinks that we might like and even helped me find a great place to propose to my future wife. Mr Esequiel’s daily, professional, kindness and warmth was something that myself and my fiancé looked forward to whenever we had our wonderful meals, drinks and desserts and of course his fellow colleagues were just as helpful. We felt like we where coming to have a meal with family there. My fiancé Marley and I will most definitely come back and stay here at Four Points Puntacana again. Thank you and Aloha for making our first Christmas and New Year together even more special. PS, John was also an outstanding server that always made smile too 😊 Aloha,Ray Williams Honolulu Hawaii🤙🏾🌴

I had a few days to kill before a conference in the United States and thought I would pop down to Punta Cana to see what the place is like. I arrived here, super jetlagged after my fly from Australia, via the US. The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful and very friendly. I was too tired to go out for dinner so I ate at the hotel restaurant in the sky bar which is absolutely a spectacular place to eat. The views are amazing and the staff are super helpful and friendly plus the meal was delicious. It is Japanese inspired so just be mindful of that but I do like Japanese so it was great for me. I had a couple of problems with my room which meant I couldn’t sleep easily. After two nights of the same problem, (having tried to fix it after the first) they very kindly move me to a luxe Seaview room. They went over and above to help me. I get things break in hotels so I wasn’t that upset, especially since they firstly tried to fix it and then when they couldn’t, they promptly moved me. I could not ask for a better outcome. NB: I would suggest you pay for Seaview room because it really is just that much better. My other room was still well appointed and the hotel is very clean and well maintained. The location of this hotel is great. There are plenty of places to eat within just a few minutes walk - including coffeeshops and restaurants, so you have plenty of choice. The breakfast at the hotel was great as were the dinners that I had there. The beach is beautiful and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it as the hotel has beach lounges reserved for guests and there is security in the hotel, meaning that non-guests don’t get in the way including locals, trying to sell stuff. I like there being no kids too. I did a tour to Santo Domingo one-day which meant during pick up the bus visited quite a lot of the other real luxury resorts and the one thing I would say this Hotel has over those ultra luxury all inclusive resorts is that you can walk to places easily and you’re not stuck in your hotel. I guess it depends on what you want, but I prefer to get out and explore a bit and this hotel certainly gives you that option. I would absolutely recommend staying here would come back again if I was ever in this part of the world
