Tropical Princess Beach Resort And Spa

Great food, good staff if you tip. our trip was advertised with watersports included. There was no surf as advertised - only 2 catamarans which we need to pay around 80 usd for the 5 days remaining although we argued about that. It doesn't sound much but we travelled in July and weather was windy all the time - s so there was not too many volunteers to get on. All other activities extremely expensive. We took the sand buggy for 80 usd each - only to drive on a muddy village road in a row one after another. It was fun because it was my first time but for this price will never do it again. We got to the "Hidden cave" with the "hidden lake" where we supposed to swim - no one from normal people did because it was stinking urine - apparently "merchants" from the improvised market on top of the cave were using it as a bathroom. We were lucky to find a room with a normal air conditioning - but of course the water pump for the whole building was next to our bathroom and we can hear it every 5 sec. Thank God i had earplugs so Ive managed to sleep. Of course we tried to change the room - but in all others(2 of them were only offered) the air conditioning barely worked. So Overall - if you were fasting last 2 months - worked in Canada winter the past 2 months before vacation and just want to eat drink and sleep and don't mind the heat - probably this will be your place.

Just returned from a wonderful Christmas, Birthday and New Year break. We have stayed here before and yes the hotels not perfect, the rooms are dated, the hot water is hit and miss, dingy lighting and blocked shower trays to name but a few. But let me tell you one thing, we have been to numerous hotels in Punta Cana and its the staff that make the holiday and this place has the most fantastic people you could ever wish to meet working here. Big shout to Kenny aka Denzel Washington, Big Shout to Emilio aka Andy Peters and of course Luis who organised a wonderful birthday celebration and a delicious cake. These people work so hard in the restaurants to make our holiday special and are the reason we return. Also want to mention a big thanks to Franklin the chef, amazing food thank you and big man on the omelette station, and last but not least super cafe, internacional for giving us a fantastic breakfast service every morning, what a great guy. The waiters and waitresses were also amazing especially the lovely lady who worked with Emilio in the Mexican and Italian which we visited regularly lol.I’m so sorry but can’t remember her name. If you’re thinking of booking and you want somewhere, relaxed, down to Earth, fun, laid back vibe this is the place and to top it all they are having a big refurb this year so it will be even better. Ps make sure you you tip, don’t be tight, factor it into your holiday cost as these lovely people deserve it. Thanks again everyone. We miss you all.
