Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana

avatar

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.

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.

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 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!
