Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort

This was our third visit to Punta Cana (staying at properties that were nothing to write home about.) But as they say, the third time was absolutely the charm. Paradisus is a stunningly gorgeous resort with beautiful updates. We stayed on the Reserve side with an ocean front room. It was well-appointed, well-stocked and quite comfortable. We usually found a spot at the main pool, though the Reserve does have two gorgeous pools that we visited, as well. Be warned that there is a bit of towel jockeying from folks wake early to place towels in beds and chairs that they didn’t even return to until well after noon. That was a bit disappointing but we worked around it. (wry smile) All of the bartenders and pool wait staff were friendly and helpful. We had a fantastic time at the pools. We usually ate breakfast at Sante, the restaurant for Reserve guests. The omelette station is the star there. There’s definitely a much wider breakfast selection at The Lunch Box. But if you want to avoid the crowds, stick with Sante. We had dinner at Mascalzone (Italian - great!) and birthday dinner at Mina (Steakhouse - excellent). Room service was serviceable. When you need a quesadilla at 11:30 pm, it rocks. The only minor con was a lack of towels at ALL of the pools at one point during the stay. But it was quickly remedied. The beaches were beautiful and tended to. No sargassum during our stay. Cristian was our concierge and he was very attentive and helpful in booking reservations. There were nightly shows in the main foyer. Disco night was fantastic. We did venture over to Caribe for the casino, which was very tiny. Getting back to our resort was hit or miss. No one really knew how to call the transport to get us back. We had to flag down a cab. All in all, I absolutely recommend this resort for a visit to the Dominican Republic. As someone whose previous visits left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth, this resort, the staff, the sights and the accommodations changed my mind. If you are traveling without littles, definitely check out The Reserve. Though there seemed to be a ton of activities for kiddos, as well.

Beautiful resort, amazing food. Only things that wasn't great was our room servicing and cold showers the last day. We made request for clean towels and room to be made up, and we didn't get any new towels until the night before we left. We turned our light for "please make up room" on multiple times, and it never was. Despite these things, we did love the resort otherwise.

The location is very nice, plenty of palapas on the beach, cnfortable chairs,food was good. I wished we didn't have to go back and forth 3 times to activate the bracelet, the refrigerator and safe didn't work properly, they did come to fix the problem but took from our time.

Our family of four enjoyed a wonderful vacation at Paradisus Palma Real. We liked the vibe of this resort, the architecture, the food, people and services. The location is great, and the guest concierge desk Antonio was wonderful to work with. He patiently helped us with all of our requests. Highly recommend this resort!

The staff, everyone was very cain especially Luisa Fernanda she treat us as we were part of her family for persons like that is what it makes you go back and we are planning to go back by the end of April.
