Melia Residencial Bavaro Punta Cana hotels

"We enjoyed our stay here. First of all, we upgraded to the privilege tier and it was a great choice. There is more restaurant availability, a butler, pool/beach seating, etc. While I did enjoy it here the food wasn't all that good. I wasn't a huge fan of the buffet and the restaurants were okay. There is also a flamingo, named Pinky, on the property. He really added to the experience. I really enjoyed the beds on the beach but the non-privilege area by the beach seemed a bit crowded. The pools were also really nice and had swim up bars. I also wasn't a huge fan of the drinks here. The resort was very pretty and there a lot of palm trees. The gym was a little bit small- there were only two treadmills. You do have to get up quite early to get to seats by the ocean. We woke up at 6:30 every morning and there were a ton of people up at that time claiming seats. The workers were very nice but some were difficult to understand and didn't speak much English. It was set to rain when we were there but it was quite sunny and nice most of our stay and only rained a little, mostly near dinner time. Some of the restaurants also took a while (the Mexican took like 1:45 both times). The shows were pretty good too- I really enjoyed the entertainment here especially the preshows and the La Voce show on Sundays. I would also like to include that Daniel, in the privilege pool area, was incredibly helpful and nice. All in all, it was a really fun experience with lots of things to do."

"If you want a very upbeat party resort this is it! Lots of pools and swim up bars! Jerk Chicken is AMAZING! Positives- swim up bars (3), beach is beautiful and food options are good! Negatives-it’s a party resort so it gets trashed, rooms are cute but not really nice, and service is only good if you tip. "

"FINEST….. I don’t think so. Got a room which was not the room we choose and paid for. Was not resolved properly. Still waiting for my discount of 1800.00. Did you ever have to WAIT to get on a waiting list. Well if the answer is no , then dine at one of the sub par restaurants at the NOT so finest."

"clean room, excellent staff"

"The internet worked on and off half the time, the rooms all smell really musty even after switching rooms 3 separate times and each room all had their own issue. Some had slow drains, one had a toilet that didn’t flush too well, and the other one just had black grime built up near the shower corners. Most of the servers are nice and smile while there’s a couple that just doesn’t look happy. Food was probably the most disappointing part, I wasn’t fond of any of it "

"Great place for families with kids "

"Everything was excellent "

"Large property with many amenities. Very friendly staff. "

"We had a really great vacation at Majeatic Elegance. Very pretty grounds and the beach was beautiful. Pretty blue water and no seaweed! Staff were friendly and the entertainment team was fun! The resort does need some updating though. The tiles in the pool are falling off and our bed sounded like it was going to fall apart every time we got in or out. Overall, we had a fun family vacation but I would recommend the Majestic Mirage over the Elegance. "
