Punta Cana Cortecito Beach Hotels

"Resort, room and staff is excellent. Beach itself and pristine and well maintained. But food is really something going to prevent me from returning and recommending to anyone. "

"Great time, beach and food "

"The place is definitely a bit older, but the resort is nice. The place is super big, so pools and places don’t feel crowded. Grounds are kept well and pools are clean. Loved that the beach is so close and absolutely gorgeous. Rooms are a bit older, but still decent. One of the things we didn’t like is that we couldn’t do any sport activities in the evening at the sports area because they wouldn’t leave the lights on after 7pm. We would’ve loved to play when it was so hot. "

"I would love to have a conversation with someone who actually cares about the property. This was my first time visiting DR and I would never returned based on the experience at this property. I quite literally have nothing positive to say about the staff and the overall treatment of guests. I won’t waste my time explaining in detail, as nothing was heard while I was there. I will review online so that any potential guests of yours can prepare themselves for what they are getting involved in at oceans. "

"I’m ready to go back! Clean rooms/ fun every night! Excursions are fun! Staff are awesome!! "

"NOT LUXURY - VERY HOT OLD ROOMS - VERY CROWDED - VERY LOUD If this property didn’t advertise themselves as luxury with luxury prices I could have been more generous with stars. The good: The only saving grace is the overall very kind and attentive staff. Food is decent. Had some really amazing meals and some pretty terrible ones. Drinks are decent, although well liquor is cheap so be specific how you want your drink made. THE BAD: The rooms are so old and run down. When you leave the room the electricity turns off. You can’t charge your phone/ electronics while you’re out of the room and the AC turns off. It is so hot when you return. Everything is falling apart and very old. Our curtains were falling off, fridge and AC leaking. We pointed this out day 1 and no alternatives were offered. The last night of our stay the ceiling came partially down due to water damage and got all over my husbands suitcase. Again no attempt to rectify the situation. I hate being sold things on all inclusive vacation. They immediately try to upsell you to ‘members only’ then we got tricked into going to the ‘travel club’ by saying it was and upgraded breakfast. No, it was a sales pitch. Then when we tried to leave the man tried to make us feel guilty. The pools and beach’s chairs are occupied with belongings from 8am onward. Everyone wakes up early to stake their claim. But then half the time they’re empty. Our room had a lot of street noise and city music all hours of the night. "

"Friendly staff and great service. Food is amazing. Resort is clean."

"We booked this last minute and did not know much about the hotel or the facilities, other than what was on Expedia. Our flight was late and we got in late to the resort. Being upgraded to the Family Select area was a nice welcome and as our 5-day stay progressed, we realized how much of a bonus this actually was. Access to Rafael, the butler, was amazing. He was able to book us better times for each of our dinners than we were able to get on our own. He also managed to get my wife a massage when the Spa was booked up. Each day he checked in on us and was very attentive. The Family Selection rooms are each part of an 8 room/apartment Villa. They are modern and spacious and set in well-kept grounds. The family select area also has its own pool with a bar and plenty of loungers and cabannas. There were always free ones, no matter what time you went. At the other pools, and the beach, loungers get taken very early. The food was good and plentiful, both buffets and a la carte restaurants. The only disappointment was La Lola, the Spanish restaurant. Service was slow and the food was not very good, which was a shame, especially as the hotel chain is Spanish-owned. The beach is great and good for swimming. Our snorkelling excursion (from Bolin Dive, the company that is based on the beach in front of the hotel) was well run and great fun. There are also tennis courts, basketball courts, and a large turf soccer field that we played on. We would definitely go again."

"Very nice property, clean and very enjoyable. Beach access is great, very good vibe."
