Review from Danny Bonaduce

picApple Vacations is always happy to host our radio station friends on great Apple Vacations. Danny Bonaduce from CBS Radio just got back from Dreams Tulum and here are some of his vacation photos & what he had to say:

In the last year, I have been fortunate enough to travel to Punta Cana in The Dominican Republic, Montego Bay, Jamaica, and Tulum, Mexico through Apple Vacations. Everything was perfect. I would never travel through anyone else.

When you get off a plane in a foreign country, things can get a little confusing. But, the second you see the flowered shirts from Apple Vacations, you know you’re in good hands. I have been on more than a dozen Apple Vacations. Everything has worked out so well that I actually let Apple pick my last three destinations. They were right every time!

A Review of Majestic Elegance

Majestic Elegance has 597 Junior Suites with an “open” floor plan.  Almost feels like a studio.  Great for couples and families with younger children.  Note — there is not too much privacy for travelling with a teenager though.  They have a massive 1000 seat capacity theatre with a different show every night.  5 a la carte restaurants (one of which is adults only) and 1 buffet.  For your adult clients, upgrade to the Elegance Club which offers 24 hour room service, a la carte breakfast, a la carte lunch and butler service!  Be sure your clients visit the “Caribbean Street” area which offers shopping and snacks.  Beautiful beach!  Nice resort!

A Review of the NH Resorts

NH Royal Beach is fast becoming a favorite. It is an Adults Only property! For having been open only 6 months, the grounds are lush and beautiful!  The resort features a huge winding free-form pool and lazy river, 2 a la carte restaurants, an oceanfront buffet and full sharing privileges with the NH Real Arena.  iPod docking stations, slippers, robes, 373 VERY large Junior Suites and WIFI for a fee. The resort also offers Hospitality Rooms with full showers for clients with a late departure.  I had the pleasure of eating lunch at the ocean front buffet.  Amazing variety and absolutely delicious!  This resort has a compact, clean and contemporary feel!  Love it!

NH Real Arena is a family friendly resort boasts 642 Junior Suites, 4 a la carte restaurants, 2 buffets, 7 bars, 6 pools and an air conditioned lobby!  Featuring a Kids Club for ages 4–12, Teens Club for ages 13–16, a 4 lane bowling alley ($10 per game and $2 shoe rental), a unique open air disco overlooking the resort and a casino on site.  All rooms are equipped with a jacuzzi, mini bar and king or two double beds.  A Paradise Club upgrade will guarantee your clients a much more spacious room with a jacuzzi and shower on the balcony, private pool and bar and even an Espresso machine!  All guests can enjoy 24 hour room service as well.  Beach is stunning with an abundance of shade!  Overall, a very impressive resort!

A Review of Iberostar Grand Hotel Bavaro

Another review from our Philadelphia Sales Manager.

Iberostar Grand Hotel Bavaro  is an Adults Only resort — and  just what you’d expect from an Iberostar! They have 4 a la carte restaurants featuring gourmet cuisine, and a buffet that sports caviar for breakfast, that’s just the beginning!

Dance the night away in “The Ship” — a replica of a Spanish Galleon — right in the middle of the property.  Or, catch a show in the air conditioned indoor theatre.  The resort offers free WIFI in the lobby or cable access in the spacious guest suites.  Each suite comes with butler service, personalized bar, pillow menu and much more!  Don’t forget — maximum occupancy per room is 2 adults.  Expansive beach with shopping huts close by.  Guests staying 1–3 nights will receive 1 free round of golf and guests staying 4+ nights will receive 2 free rounds of golf on the new Iberostar 18 hole course.  Golf includes cart, snacks and drinks!  Recommend it to golfers. Your clients will LOVE this elegant resort!

Stay tuned for more reviews of Punta Cana hotels this week!
