We just spent 72 hours at one of the WORST RATED all-inclusive resorts in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. We even booked an upgraded “Premium Level” room and experience and couldn’t believe it when our bathroom had a hole in the ceiling!
By now we have stayed at 6 different all-inclusives in Punta Cana, and this was the most interesting one yet! This resort is typically rated between 3.5 and 4.5 on various websites online. While the room was unbelievable, there were some things we really liked about this property.
In this video we share the good and the bad experiences, including our “Premium Level” perks.

Were willing to eat and enjoy to eat are so far apart lol. Great description of food. Aka. I wont go there it sounds like
I admire your courage. It's gorgeous outside, though.
If the Premium Level was that disappointing would a lower level be worth checking into?
That problems with the room were disgusting…and you'd think that'd be their best amenities too.
That beach though!!!!
You’re troopers. I would have peaced out after seeing the room.
Should of done that dance class by the pool.
where are you
That room…..never seen anything like that. WOW!
I really appreciate the blunt honesty in this review (and in ALL your reviews). This would be a "no-never" for my wife and I. The only all inclusive we've stayed at was at Excellence Playa Mujeres and it was great. Eventually, we will do an all inclusive again, but we're more cruise people. We live in Bradenton Florida, so world class beaches are a short drive away, and we find that with all the cruise ports a simple drive away, cruising is a great way to see some of the world. After your reviews and ship tours of the MSC Seascape and Seaside, we are considering booking one or the other for our 40th anniversary. It's something different besides a Celebrity or Carnival cruise that we've taken multiple times, and you've introduced us to a couple of beautiful ships, which in all aspects compared to this all inclusive, is a no brainer.
All in all, your descriptions are highly well thought out and incredibly articulate. The work you put in shines through in the quality of your productions.
Thanks for doing this one! I MIGHT consider this place as a really affordable option for a few days just to enjoy the pool and that gorgeous beach – not in a premium suite though. That room was scary! And mamajuana in coffee, never thought about that. I have a bottle at home so I just may give it a try tomorrow morning! I've been to the DR once but I stayed in a super nice place with 2 other ladies that most likely is totally out of my and my husband's budget. So even though I preferred the nicer one, I might try something very low priced like this one just to get a beach vacation in on the cheap.
I would have demanded to be moved to a different room.
I must say that this is one of the worst places that you have ever visited. Your honesty is refreshing. Your optimism is so cute, though. 😊 It's kinda hard to be excited when you walk into a place that has so many flaws. Love the video, though. As always, top notch! ❤
Wait was that an actual crow eating in the restaurant!? That's just wrong! 😂
Great video!
Don't think so.
one of the worst resorts in PC.Avoid Bahía Principe Grand Bavaro, another waste of money.
The food is Baaaaaaad .
Awesome review, as usual! We stayed at an all-inclusive hotel in Cancun and slipped the lady at the front desk a $20 bill to upgrade us, and she gave us a honeymoon suite with a giant jacuzzi tub with marble columns and ocean view. I'm wondering if they have a handful of rooms like the one you had and expect people to "pay more" or give them money to move you to a nicer room. I definitely would've complained though. That shower with the mildew and the hole in the ceiling would've been my red line. LOL You two are troopers for pushing through. Thank you!
Are any of the Dominican resorts cannabis friendly?
Punta Cana is beautiful.
I am trying to figure out what resort you went to
We stayed at the sister resort last year. Wasnt too great either but it was cheap.
I'm sorry I would have demanded to be moved because of the issues. We don't usually use the tv much, but we do use some before going to bed.
I just wanted to say, I hope your channel grows and grows. I love watching your videos and travels.
Went to Punta Cana twice, super cheap including airfare….wont go back. All in our group got intestinal problems and one time the ceiling on the balcony started falling down. And then a overzealous timeshare salesman constantly harassed us the whole week no matter how many times we said no thanks.
Learned a long time ago, that cheap doesn’t equal good!
Did I miss the price?
I'm assuming it was SUPER GOOD or you were comped?
This would be a no go for us.
They do have a nice beach!
What is the beautiful beach you show at 17:10?
thanks for sharing…
very nice review and you were kind to the workers but i would have went nuts with the room no doubt…lol!
No amount of money is worth staying at a resort like this. 😂 Yikes! You both are serious troopers.
Wow that room was scary!
Did you have to pay extra for the rock climbing ?
Wow! I was expecting some cons but your bathroom in the suite was crazy!! That mold 🤮!! But that beach is so lovely! This doesn't seem like a terrible option for someone on a super budget that just needs to get away to lay on the beautiful beach! Thank you so much for this great review!
Gross.
I feel so sorry for that bad experience in our country… i’ve been in that place twice; first one was 20 years ago, school promotion trip and I almost died there in the pool, then 2012 and nothing changed but the name.. now I see your video and still NO changes… that place, even though is in Punta Cana, sucks! I recommend any other place! DM for recomendarions in DR … glad you survive this resort.. regards!
