My wife and I are both working professionals with no children and were looking for a summer getaway to an exotic location. We went to a local travel agency and booked a vacation to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for a week in early August. There were chartered flights leaving Cincinnati, OH directly to Punta Cana, which was extremely convenient and... more

We just returned from a wonderful getaway to Punta Cana and the Iberostar Dominicana was amazing. Our Apple representative welcomed us with drinks in hand and gave a great presentation to let us know everything that was going on at the hotel. Be sure to book your dinner reservations as they do fill up quickly. Don't worry though the buffet... more

This is the 5th All Inclusive resort I've stayed at and was the worst of all. However, the beach was by far the most beautiful of all places I've been to. The food at the resort wasn't anything great. I would avoid all the al-a-carte restaurants except the Oriental. The food at the restaurants was not great so you're better... more

Lets get one thing straight: in the dominican republic, they certainly know how to treat tourists as tourism is such an important part of the economy. The people in general are very friendly and happy (why wouldnt you be in such a beautiful country!), and very willing to help. The resort was excellent. It was the right location for us.... more

What a wonderful vacation for the entire family. We booked our vacation through a travel agent and went through Apple. If you have never taken an Apple vacation, you have to do it. Everything is taken care of. Carlos our Apple rep at the hotel told us everything we need to know about how things worked the very first day... more

My family and I went for a vacation and had a splendid time. The grounds are stunning, very well kept. Rooms are spotlessly clean and the beds were glorious! However, there was no clock radio in the room, so having no music for an audiophile was just a bit of a letdown. And the only reason you really need to... more

Well- If you only speak English - it's difficult. This resort is truly European - most people speak Spanish, French or German. The front staff spoke English but forget asking for help from the maid or people walking the grounds. Room was poor - air conditioning not working after the 3rd day someone finally came. The frig didn't work. I... more
