One of Apple Vacations Senior Marketing Executives just got back from a family vacation to the the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana. We got a review from her son yesterday, but here is what she had to say about the vacation:

We just returned from a great trip to Hard Rock Punta Cana. The resort was very impressive—grounds were beautiful, beach was awesome, and food and service was excellent. Our room was very spacious with a jacuzzi and great decor.  They are updating the rooms from the Moon Palace decor (which was already modern and tasteful) with a  Hard Rock touch—Rock ‘n Roll art, etc. The spa was huge and amazing and so was the casino, and there is all kinds of Rock memorabilia throughout the hotel.

There are something like 11 pools which are all big too and many with swim-up bars.

Being relatively new, the resort was not even close to capacity, but even when it is I can’t imagine having to get up early to reserve chairs because there are so many pools, all set along the beach. My teenage sons participated in the activities at the main activities pool and really enjoyed  the entertainment staff.

Unfortunately one of our bags got misdirected by the airline, and the hotel’s Customer Service staff was very helpful in terms of  making phone calls to the airline to follow up and arrange a ride to the shopping center. They also sent extra amenities to the room and made several follow-up calls to ensure we didn’t need anything. Complimentary long distance phone calls was another great perk!

If you like big hotels and don’t mind walking a bit , you’ll love Hard Rock!  If you are traveling with teenagers this is a great place to go as well because the staff really engages them—we have been on many Apple Vacations and this ranks at the top of the list!

Don’t forget—If you book by 12/31 Hard Rock Punta Cana is currently offering an air credit of up to $700.00 and resort credit of up to $1500.00. Click here for more details on how to redeem the credits and what they are good for.

One of Apple Vacations Senior Marketing Executives just got back from a family vacation to the the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana. Before we had her write a review, we asked her teenage son to do it so we can have his opinion.  Here is what he had to say:

This was an all-around great resort. The food was fantastic and the beach was incredible, but the best part about the trip was the service and the workers. The people who worked at the resort we’re extremely friendly and genuinely cared about how you were doing. Some people in particular include Jose “The Pink Panther” Torres, Maximo Nunez, Marcos, and Deivy the bartender. These people did everything that they possibly could to make this trip extremely enjoyable and fun for the people staying at the resort. Jose and Maximo took the effort to make sure that we were having a blast every time they saw us. The only negative thing that I can say about the resort is that there were not enough people there! (compared to the enormity of the hotel). But other than that, the trip was a blast and I would recommend the hotel to anyone who asked.
