"This was our second time staying at the Lopesan, and our fourth trip to Punta Cana overall—and once again, it did not disappoint. We visited during U.S. Spring Break with our 7-year-old son and had a fantastic experience. While there are kids at the resort, it never feels overrun the way some family-friendly resorts can. The atmosphere strikes a great balance—relaxed and family-appropriate without feeling chaotic or overly kid-centric. The lower pool was perfect for our son and other kids around the 6–10 age range. It felt safe, fun, and just the right amount of lively. The food was a highlight for us. We enjoyed both the à la carte restaurants and the buffet—everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. We’ve seen some negative reviews about the food and honestly don’t understand them. Our best guess is that some guests might be used to heavily salted or super sweet dishes. Like many Latin American countries, the food here is a little lighter on salt and sugar—which we really appreciated. The staff were warm and accommodating across the board. Whether at the restaurants, pool, or front desk, we consistently had positive experiences. Our only small complaint was the timing of the evening shows—they start quite late, which makes it difficult to enjoy them as a family with young kids. We would have loved for there to be an earlier family-friendly option. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Lopesan continues to be a favorite for us in D.R"

"We had a great time at the Grand Palladium! Very beautiful resort with easy access to an incredible beach with white sand. Food was actually quite good for an all inclusive we were pleased with every meal. The service was top tier! Very friendly and helpful staff! Entertainment was also great! The Chic Bingo Night was the highlight of our stay! "

"Awesome relaxing property, just the vacation I was looking for to get away and have no worries. Food was pretty good, the steakhouse was definitely the best but the buffet had consistently good food with variety. The beach was stunning everyday, with warm clear waters. The pool was also a great relaxing place. Overall, definitely recommend if you're looking for some RnR. Could get a little boring longer than 5-7 days."

"What an amazing place to stay, every day there is something to do. Bávaro Princess has the biggest and prettiest beach for what I saw. Beds are comfortable and room service is great at keeping your room clean with clean towels as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful if you need it."
