The property was a steal for the price. The staff was so friendly and accommodating ready to help us with anything we needed. The are was well kept with many art installations along the way to the beach which was nice to see. The apartments were incredibly spacious but needed some internal upgrades like the beds were very creaky just to sit on it. There was no hand soap available in any washrooms, the shower was broken in one of the washrooms. One of the bathroom’s ledge was broken so we couldn’t keep our stuff there either. I appreciate the laundry rack so we dried off our swimwear/clothes everyday as well as the terrace area that we could hang out at night. Overall could do better/upgrade basic amenities but it does not change the fact that we still enjoyed our stay and will consider coming back!

Truly amazing place. The checkin process was very fast. The accommodation is in excellent condition. The staff was very helpful, they even gave us coffee from their own, because the coffee shop was closed at 7 AM. Private back area with bar and restaurant. Several other restaurants to choose from in the area. Many thanks to all the staff!

The water does not get hot often they have a box they say controls the temperature but its a hit and miss either one shower will get lukewarm and the other would be cold or they would both be cold i stayed 1 week and I think 3 times it may have been just right. Everything else was cool but honestly I don't play when it comes to Hot showers its a huge necessity for me!

The staff have all been very friendly and helpful. However, we had to be moved to a different accommodation as a problem with the air conditioner meant there were pools of water on the floor and water running down the walls. The plaster was coming off as well. We then moved to a new apartment that had an infestation of cockroaches and some mice droppings.

This was our second time at Playa Palmera because we had such a good experience the first time back in June 2023. And the second stay did not disappoint, helpful, friendly staff that was aways available. Although, shopping, dining and the beach was close by, there was always a driver offering to give you a ride to where you were going. There was a feel good community vibe from the staff and guests. My wife and I look for to our next stay. Loved it! ❤️ 😍

My friends and I stayed here for a week during our spring break and it was amazing!! Super affordable and the staff were very friendly. We were traveling with a Spanish speaker so we didn’t have much difficulty, but the staff did have varying levels of English skills which is to be expected, and it wasn’t much of a problem all in all. Our apartment was clean, beautifully decorated, and well equipped, and there was a lovely pool right outside. Food wasn’t included but everything was incredibly affordable! The Florecita restaurant was super upscale and luxurious, and the other eateries had very good food as well. The beach was really nice too! It can be pretty windy there but I’ve heard that’s not uncommon for the Dominican coast, and it wasn’t much of a bother. Overall you get what you pay for and more. We were really happy with our stay and would return. It’s not a luxury all-inclusive but it’s really amazing quality and value for the price. One note: it’s relatively far from attractions and Bavaro beach is about a 20 minute drive. We had to call a couple of Ubers, so if you want to stay somewhere that’s really close to clubbing and activity this is not the place. We didn’t mind though.

The property was amazing. Stayed 10 nights and am planning on coming back as soon as i can! The beach bar was amazing jon and victor were awsome! The restaurant Flaurecitia was top notch and the service from hector and the other waitors was perfect. If you do come make sure to remember to brush up on spanish because english is not widely spoken here. Also some ammeneties are missing in rooms like face clothes. Hand towels so make sure to pack a few extra comforts if u want them ) very nice vacation here and highly recomend :)

The place is calm and clean. Nice for families with lots of restaurants and a supermarket. We stayed in an apartment facing a shared pool. The beach is less than a five minutes walk from the apartments. They organise excursions as well. It would be good to add some basketball/tennis courts for teenagers and adults.

Entire resort was in need of serious maintenance all the pools except the monkey club were in really bad shape. And the music was so loud even midday at the club pool that it actually hurt our ears and the drinks were terrible. Very few staff spoke any English and some of the little shops like grocery and pizza had extremely rude staff. Our room needed a lot of maintenance. Very cheaply maintained. No actual blankets. Parts of it were definitely not clean. One of the bathrooms wreaked like sewage. We had to figure out how to rig the hot water for showers. Very lacking in outdoor amenities. The shopping centre area had a distinct sewage smells in the air. Spend the extra money for a decent all inclusive otherwise you end up spending more in the long run for a less enjoyable vacation.

We booked the 2 bedroom penthouse. Absolutely loved it! It was spacious. The wifi was excellent. The private rooftop balcony was to die for! The electrical outlets in the apartment were a bit tricky if you are from North America. The outlets on the balcony worked fine. The cookware was very thin; so, the food had a tendency of burning. If ordering water from the grocery store. Wait until the end of the day when you will be in your room. You have to wait for them to deliver the water. One day we spent almost an entire day in our room waiting for the water to be delivered. The beach access and beach area were excellent! The pools and pool areas were fabulous. Would definitely return!

Punta Cana on a budget. Good value, friendly staff
Our stay was above expectations. We stayed in both a penthouse apartment and a first-floor apartment. Both were clean, nicely decorated and well maintained. living rooms were spacious but bathrooms cramped. Parking was convenient. The penthouse area was sparsely furnished and less convenient than expected. Electrical outlets were all hard to use due to faulty and annoying child-proof feature. Staff was friendly and cooperative. Music at the beach and restaurants was louder than we liked but the pool area was quiet. Other guests were friendly and chill. On-site food store was convenient, although fresh veggies were mostly below par. Overall, a pleasant experience and a good value, especially for a larger group. "A la carte" instead of all inclusive.

Pros :Enjoyed beach,always found chairs,Castaways restaurant had good food. Cons:The penthouse we stayed at for a month needed repair.Closet doors in both bedrooms were off for entire month ,never fixed after several calls.Window in bathroom wouldn’t close .Stove & hood fan gave electric shocks.Both bedrooms had 4 pillows,We only got 2 pillowcases ,& were left with 2 stained ones left uncovered.I was told that not one safe in entire resort worked,& that I should “Take my money with me .I suggested that perhaps I had other things I would like to put in the safe & was told again very rudely,”Take your money with you! We bought clothes hangers, for our guests, the second bedroom had none. We were provided 2 flimsy bath towels ,no hand towels,or face cloths . They ask that you put toilet paper in container ,not to flush down toilet. Never done that at a 5 star before! Pool was just down the stairs, many tiles have already fallen off, the water feature that quit 2 weeks in ,wasn’t fixed ,when we left 2 weeks later. We were right next to a hotel, that is being built on the property, & we’re awoken daily at around 6am with noise of people & machinery. Needless to say, I would not recommend this property.

Playa Palmera Royal Beach Resort is run by Daniel Espinola and Mr. Bolivar. They are well suited and excellent in the roles as Concierge. The front desk, housekeeping, shuttle service, and restaurant staff are excellent completely. We would go back in the future.

Fun in the sun
Overall the stay was great. Its not one of the huge traditional resorts but it served the purpose. The check-in was great friendly guys at the counter. They will drive you and your bags to apartment (we had our own transportation) so they just drove down in cart and showed us they place we were in. The only thing was that our place did not have hot water at all. We were told it was all around but we asked a couple we met and they said one of the two bathrooms had hot water but neither of ours did. The pool also needs to be retiled. Overall it was great. Beach is 2-3 min walk or the resort workers from the desk ride up and down the road and if you are walking they will pick you up. Great place to stay a little hard to find at first if your driving yourself. Had an absolute amazing time. Plenty of places to eat on the premises. Would go again.
