Find 5 Star Hotels in Hispaniola from AED 489

"I recently stayed at Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa for 4 nights. The beach and tropical grounds are beautiful, and the property itself is very large with access to multiple pools, restaurants, and amenities. Unfortunately, the overall guest experience felt underwhelming and not very relaxing. The resort has an extremely sales-driven atmosphere. Everywhere you go, someone is trying to sell you something — from souvenir vendors to constant promotion of vacation club memberships. Even going to the gym turned into a sales experience, where I was immediately approached about spa services. It became difficult to simply relax without being marketed to. The food quality was inconsistent, and the rooms felt somewhat old and dated compared to the online photos and branding. Another challenge was the language and overall guest experience as an English-speaking traveler. The resort seemed much more geared toward Spanish-speaking guests. Most staff members were courteous and professional, but English communication was limited in many areas, and at times it felt like Spanish-speaking guests received more natural attention and engagement. What stood out most to me was the lack of memorable entertainment or thoughtful resort atmosphere. The activities and events felt mediocre and low-effort compared to other resorts I’ve visited in Punta Cana. I previously stayed at Royalton and found the hospitality, food, entertainment, and overall atmosphere significantly more polished, mode"

"My wife and I have been to a lot of all inclusive but this was a first for the Excellence Collection. The resort is beautiful and the employees are great. We typically go to bed early on vacations from being out in the sun all day but we managed to enjoy the night entertainment which we found really fun. The only thing that we found just sub par was the food in some of the places. The Spice restaurant wasn’t great and the buffet wasn’t either, but we always find something we enjoy, here it was basically the omlette that we liked. For Spice they have the hibachi that you have to make a reservation for. We weren’t able to get a reservation until 9:45pm on Friday which is way too late for us, this isn’t really a complaint on that but more just unfortunate. The oregano restaurant was really good and so was the steak house. One other thing that this place doesn’t have that pretty much all other resorts that we’ve been to is a place that is serving snacks/lunch around the pool where you could just walk up and order food. Here you have to order from the waiter which is fine, but it takes about 1/2hr-45 minutes. Other than that we liked this place and didn’t want to leave. I do want to give a shot out to the whole staff who were great, but these people in particular made our stay fantastic. Diaz the bartender at the Prelude Bar. Kelvin the pool server from the Prelude Bar. Misael Joy Boy is Back These guys were awesome and I would give them a 10 out 5 star if I could!"

"Everything was a disaster, rooms were not cleaned no water pressure could not take a shower food was horrible everyone in my family got sick for days with a stomach virus I travel a lot but Punta Cana was not a place to go for vacation. I strongly recommend it!!!"

"Nice experience"
