Adriana LemeAugust 13, 2016Perfect! Good people, fantastic rooms and everything is so clean. Pools and beach are awesome! Excelent food too (ciao is the best) No doubts that this is the best place to be #ThisIsHArdRock
Joanne MoussaOctober 20, 2017My husband & I stayed here for our honeymoon, double jacuzzi in the room, all inclusive food & drinks, free room service, beach towels, day & night entertainment, 11 pools, Caribbean beach ❤️

I like this place a lot. 2nd trip. I'm a big guy and it's like a cruise only with a lot of space and few lines. That will make sense to many.
HUGE property with a ton of pools, incredible Beach not to mention all the Pool Bars. (A few swim up as well. Pick from the active, pool scene to the chill and relax pool scene.
Bob BourdeauMay 19, 2013I've never experienced service like this before. The Dominican people are nothing less than inspiring. Always happy, eager to help, ever attentive, very kind. Hotel awesome. Theatre blech. Food great.Upvoted Dec 17, 2024- Chris BurnsApril 26, 2015Awesome rooms. Huge hotel with plenty of restaurants to choose from. Food is so so. Loved the casino and the zip line excursion.
Like the place, only draw back is that trolley you have to take everywhere because it’s a huge place. Loved that they have entertainment for all ages. Good customer service.
Best restaurants are toro (try the rib eye! With jacket and sour cream) ZEN and ipanema for Brazilian meats cooked beautifully.. Pizza place is dire.. Italian so so and Mexican a let down.
Rodrigo FarathJanuary 24, 2016I / we love the smell and the spirit of the All Inclusive Hard Rock Hotels!!! Really good entertainment for single, couple or family!!
Tim QDecember 11, 2013Ciao Restaurant - ask for Teofilo(Teo), Edgar & Alfredo- they are the "A" team! Fast, smart, entertaining, nice, and they speak pretty much every language known to man!
James PittmanJanuary 28, 2017Food is great! Room is very spacious and comfortable! The beach and pools are fantastic. Has everything you need!
Jana PanganibanDecember 8, 2011Try the Churrasco at The Market for dinner, so delish! Luis and Ariel were our waiters there, they were great! Also try the Orange ice cream at the Ice Cone tastes like an Orange Julius!- Jana PanganibanDecember 8, 2011hotel was great, but watch out when you try to book tours at the website like I did. If you do, wait til you get to the hotel to book! I booked with Brahman Tours and they never got in touch with us!
Ted HavillMay 28, 2013Beware the sand fleas on the beach at night and early morning, or right after rain. Your feet/legs will get all bitten up. Don't bring your towels back to your room!
Suzanne CastilloJuly 11, 2013Well this five star hotel has everything you can imagine and all inclusive is all inclusive...unbelievable and yet for me it's top of the line...- A great vacation here. Large space. Great for runners and walkers. Clean and well kept.
For breakfast go to the market restaurant. Lunch is great in El Toro. For dinner check out the Isla and don't miss the live cooking in the Zen- Christian HinckleOctober 30, 2014Best place to stay in Dominican Republic. They always have something fun going on and drinks are always flowing.
Leo WanJune 13, 2012The spa is simply amazing. The pre-treatment pool, shower, steamroom, etc. are off the charts! Do show up 1 hour before your appointment to enjoy everything.
The food is really good, definitely a great place to spend your vacations. 😍
- KateMarch 4, 2016A good place for a vacation in Dominican Republic. But I hate(!) resort credits system. Just a trick 🙅🏼
- Head for the Eden pool a couple of times during your stay. It's like a boutique pool within a resort and a welcome rest-bite.
Jason MatthewsJanuary 14, 2013This place is huge! Great design and services. Casino is definitely entertaining. I'll be back to this resort...and I hate resorts!
If you play guitar, go to the main lobby and look for a fender booth, you can lend a guitar for 2 days free of charge to play in your room!
Kiddnation - KKITMMarch 16, 2012This was the location of our Family Vacation in 2011. The entire show was broadcast from the resort. Being in Punta Cana makes waking up early a whole lot easier! Visit the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino!
Ray HostetlerFebruary 24, 2012Hit the maid button each time you leave your room and they'll clean it every time, anytime during the day/night!
Centre HolidaysFebruary 24, 2012If you wish to be on the beach and away from kids, go for building 1a , 2a, 2a or 4a. Building 5 B was the perfect medium between the main building and the pool/beach.- Ted HavillMay 28, 2013If you do not tip your mini-bar person big the first day, don't expect to see him back....ever. Right Javier? BTW housekeeping is awesome.
NieceyFebruary 10, 2012Hotel rooms are nice. Food is average. And I wish ppl will stop saying things about the beach like hard rock created it smh. It's great and the palapas are free! Most places you pay for that.
KristinApril 5, 2014Bring your own large cup for drinks! They will refill whatever you have. Saves you trips to the bar!
Stay at the Iberostar Grand, same price, much more luxury, and much friendlier front desk staff.
Anthony WilliamsJuly 6, 2016Great hotel considering it isn't adult only, like a dominican vegas..., gotta hit the Eden pool...
Shawna HowellFebruary 10, 2014This place rocks! Pictures with the parrots until 5:00pm and the monkey visits on Tuesday night.
This room was our home. Beautiful great service and homey. Scentsy got me here and I hope I can come back!- Lots of pools and lots of food. Very professional. Resort credits are almost worthless
Curt HaaseDecember 29, 2013Trams are not necessary!!! Easy to walk everywhere (burns off the excess food from all the restaurants!)
Paulina GarciaJuly 21, 2013The hotel is Huge for me the best rooms are the ones that Re closer to the lobby.
Definitely try to book your excursions and spa appointments ASAP after check in. The wait is long and you might miss out in prime departure times.- The resort credits are a love hate. Take singles to tip the pool bar staff.
Erica ZelmanowiczDecember 31, 2014The food is horrendous here. Also, you can't make a reservation anywhere which is just annoying because you have to wait for bad food. Other than that pools and beach are nice and staff is friendly.
This place is really nice but overall, the amenities are better at the other palace resorts in Mexico. Food at this resort is far superior to the food at the Palace resorts in mexico though.
Joel HernandezJuly 29, 2011Eden pool: excellent electro jazz music, lounge atmosphere, more of an adult and layed back scene.- Blake WrightJuly 18, 2011Gamble early and you have little chance of winning. Gamble late at naught and you could likely lose your wife like I did!
