Top Caribbean Islands Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Palace Aquarelle - All Inclusive
4/10 Poor
"The 12th floor had water issues. Twice during shower I had to finish using water from the sink. This happened 3 times in 4 days. Explained issue to front desk 3 times. Maintenance says pump keeps shutting down"

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Overall great experience. Loved it."

Hotel Riu Montego Bay - Adults Only - All Inclusive
4/10 Poor
"The resort is very beautiful. This is my second time staying with RIU in Jamaica, but the last time I stayed at the Palace. Food was not good like the Palace was when I went in 2023. The toilet wouldn’t flush and once the maintenance guy came he walked out with the plunger dripping on the floor. Toilet still messed up hours later not flushing. Very annoying. Beds were so uncomfortable my body is sore from head to toe. I will not stay here again. If they did passes I would love to enjoy the atmosphere, drinks and pool areas but as far as the rooms. It’s a hard no for me in the future. The bed was so hard and I’ve never in my life been in a bed that feels that way at a resort. These resorts are way too pricey to be staying in a hotel with an extremely uncomfortable bed."

Caribe Hilton
10/10 Excellent
"Clean "

Lopesan Costa Bávaro Resort Spa & Casino - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"Spent my 35th birthday solo trip and it was amazing, great resort for families with kids but next time I would do adults only location, food and drinks were great !"

Serenade Punta Cana Beach & Spa Resort - All Inclusive
8/10 Good
"I’ve been to the Dominican Republic many times and stayed at both high-end luxury resorts like Secrets, as well as more budget-friendly resorts like Catalonia Bávaro. I’ve also stayed at Lopesan, and unfortunately this resort would probably rank last for me. In my opinion, it’s definitely not a true 5-star resort — although there were still some positives.
Pros:
• The hotel was consistently clean
• Staff were overall friendly and fairly helpful
Cons:
• This side of Punta Cana has a significant amount of seaweed. If having a beautiful beach is important to you, I’d recommend visiting Saona Island or staying closer to Bávaro Beach instead.
• Food selection was quite limited. I’d rate the adults-only side around a 2/5, while the main resort restaurants were closer to a 3.5/5.
• The rooms showed a lot of wear and moisture damage. We noticed many room doors throughout the resort that were visibly damaged and in need of repair.
• Nightlife was very underwhelming — most things seemed to shut down around 10:30 PM.
Overall, it wasn’t a terrible experience, but I personally wouldn’t consider this a 5-star resort. I’d rate it closer to a 3.5-4 star at best, and I don’t think it was worth the $2,600 price point. Personally, I’d choose Lopesan or spend a bit more money for a higher end experience.
