Book 4 Star Hotels In Uvero Alto, Dominican Republic

If you're into lively dance music and nightly parties, this is the place for you. We stayed for 5 days, and one day, even the breakfast buffet had a chef DJ-ing club music over breakfast. The food was very average. I'm kind of glad, because I didn't gain as much weight as I would have, otherwise. They had plenty of pool entertainment - Contests, dance parties, etc. There are several pools to choose from, one being a party pool, if you're up for it. Overall, the place is clean and well-kept. We had a great time with our traveling friends and we even made more friends there. My biggest complaint is that the faculty/staff didn't seem as friendly as I've seen at other resorts (This is my first trip to DR, the others were to Mexico). I don't recall ever meeting an employee who spoke good, simple English. I don't expect them to be fluent (We're in THEIR country), but being that about 90% of their clientele are English-speaking, they should really consider English classes for the employees. I believe the employees would become more receptive (and appear friendlier) to helping patrons, and as a result, patrons would feel more welcome.

TIP 1: LEARN SPANISH. Don't believe any review that tells you otherwise. Nobody's English is very good. TIP 2: BE PREPARED TO RELINQUISH YOUR TECHNOLOGY. A thunderstorm killed the wifi on our 3rd day and it never came back. TIP 3: SPEND YOUR TIME AT THE POOL AND BEACH. The minibar was never restocked except for the water, housekeeping kept taking towels and washcloths away, restaurants are just OK and room service is pretty bad. The beaches and pools, however, are glorious and pristine, and the service at all of the bars is jovial and polite. The drinks are fresh and strong. TIP 4: BE PREPARED TO TIP GENEROUSLY AND OFTEN, AND TO DEAL WITH ATTEMPTED HORNSWOGGLING. We were bullied into accepting extras we didn't want by a couple of very aggressive employees. I literally ended up hiding in the room all day the last day just to avoid them. Other than that, we were happy to tip generously for things we'd actually asked for. TIP 5: BE AWARE THAT YOU ARE IN A DIFFERENT CULTURE WITH DIFFERENT SOCIETAL RULES AND GENDER ROLES. The male employees were uniformly friendly and polite; the only issues we had with anyone came from women and were directed at me, not my husband. Other countries just have different rules and roles.TIP 6: "LUXURY" IS A RELATIVE TERM. This seems to be a destination for Americans who've never left their home towns, or maybe been on a cruise. They were loving it, but we will choose differently next time.

We decided to come back to Dreams 11/14-11/21, as we had stayed there in September 2014 for our Honeymoon because this place is awesome!! The staff is so friendly from the moment you step into the lobby to the moment you check out. We decided for the preferred club and i would do it everytime! Private, air conditioned, lounge with top shelf bar (Anibal and Adrian great bartenders!). Snacks and light appetizers throughout the day and concierge that will help with any of your requests! We opted to do the VIP Beach Lounge for the second year in a row and again, it did not disappoint! Carlos waited on us the whole day and actually remembered us from our Honeymoon trip! The pool is awesome with daily activities like water polo, water aerobics, and casino games. Ana, Banana, Eddie Murphy, and Benjamin Franklin were the life of the party and so happy to be there. Our favorite staff member is Esfreiddy (bartender at Baracuda Bar)! He remembered us from our Honeymoon trip as well, and to be honest, was one of the main reasons we were so excited to come back this year! Food was great as always, our favorite was the Hibachi place our last night there. All in all, we will be back in 2016 for our 2nd wedding anniversary, to have an excelente time! Thanks for everything Dreams!

I had a wonderful time in Punta Cana, the food was ok, nice selection of a little bit of everything. My room was clean... the weather was so humid and damp everything will remain a little moist due to the humidity. The excursions were wonderful. Side note you can really snorkel right on the beach and see pretty fishes but the water won't be as clear as if you were to go out with the tour guide. All souvenirs were cheaper when we went snorkeling. They do come bring you everything at the resort but it will cost a little more. All in all great trip, better to go in a huge group but ok with just your significant other as well

All the amenities for kids are under construction except the water park. They should give a introductory price because there are some many things that wasn't finish.
