Overlooking Bavaro Beach, Majestic Colonial stands apart as an all-inclusive resort, sporting jetted tubs in every room, a natural tropical setting and a free-form, lagoon-style pool that meanders its way through the
center of the complex. Dreaming about sand beneath your feet and a chilled fruity drink in your hands? It's time to wake up and head to Majestic Colonial Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

Family vacation
I highly recommend! I traveled with my fiancé and 4 kids ranging 12-16. There is so much entertainment for the kids amd adults, it never felt crowed, staff is so friendly, food was excellent, my daughter has celiacs and there was plenty of options for her to eat gluten free. We all were so pleased with the buffet that we never did try out the other restaurants. Our rooms were upgraded because they couldn’t get rooms next to each other ( this was great! 24 hour room service and a butler) beach was clean and not crowded. Planning our destination wedding for 2020 here!
The Majestic Colonial was amazing! Service and overall hospitality was off the charts. Their food options never disappointed and the drinks were always top notch (especially with Brugal). Make sure you take advantage of the excursions and parasailing. Do yourself a favor and learn to dance Bachata and Salsa before you go. There will be plenty of opportunities to hit the dance floor! Beach volleyball with new friends was a blast, and some of Majestics employees even joined in! The Zumba classes and live shows and games on the beach were so much fun as well! Only con of this trip was that it ended too soon!
This place was awesome! Lots of good food, drinks and entertainment. The staff was very fun, especially Winson! The only complaint was getting into the airport in DR was very confusing, need to update and make things more clear for travelers.

Hi Scott,
We are not able to waive the single supplement rate. Our contract with the resort stipulates how the room rates are to be applied and we are not able to operate outside of those parameters. Please feel free to contact one of our destination specialists to discuss other options.

Smoke-free rooms2 answers
Need to find a hotel or resort where the building, rooms, balconies, and all common areas are 100% smoke-free, due to asthma and breathing limitation in the presence of tobacco smoke of any kind.
It is not enough to have only a smoke-free floor; the building itself has to be 100% smoke-free.
Do you have resorts or hotels on a beach like this?

The alcohol selection in the all-inclusive packages include local brands and some international brands. I understand that they have served brands such as Stoli and Smirnoff but have been advised that the international brands are subject to change. Keep in mind that international brands are not necessarily considered "top shelf" from a US perspective but the bars and lounges are well stocked with a good variety of offerings.

The all-inclusive package does normally include access to all available restaurants, but you would need to check with the resort directly regarding availability and inclusions at the time of travel. Some restaurants do require reservations in order to eat there.

All restaurants are included. Only ones you need a reservation for was the hibachi and the French restaurants. Food was amazing! DO NOT Drink the TAP water..bottled water is provided and the restaurants all serve filtered water. Just the room tap water is not good to drink.

Is there damage from the fire still? (May 2012)5 answers
I heard there was a fire recently. Just wondering if they have rebuilt
6 years, 84 months ago

The resort is actively repairing the damage from the recent fire and expects to have the majority of repairs completed by May 8. Until that time the guests at the Colonial have access to all the amenities of their sister property, the Majestic Elegance. By all reports, everything is running smoothly with no disruption in service and the guests have been very satisfied.

The Majestic Colonial, along with it's sister property, the Majestic Elegance, are located directly on the beach.

The resort is on the beach. It is on a large property so there is some walking depending on where your room is located but it's not bad.
AYC2012
The Majestic Colonial is directly on the beach. I vacationed there last week and my room was in building 4 - less than 50 steps from the beach.

The Resort is right on the beach and has the most magnificent grounds! I have very high standards for a resort and this one was the best I have been to out of the USA! Enjoy!!
UncleG
The resort itself is on the beach, I dont think many of the rooms are beach front though. The buildings run perpendicular to the beach, so our room was like a 2 minute walk. But there is pool in between. You can see on the over head picture of the resort on it's website.

this hotel in on the beach, but depending on where your hotel room is located dictates how far you will walk. It is a huge complex, but it is definitely not that far to walk. The beaches are beautiful and the pool also is great.

Do the dress code restrictions apply to women?6 answers
I noticed that a lot of the restaurants have a dress code of "long pants & a dress shirt." However, I was wondering if that also applied to women? Would a dress/skirt get turned down?
6 years, 82 months ago
stephanie
The restaurants are ok with shorts and casual tops and women are fine as long as they are not in bikini bottoms. The only restaurant that required long pants and collared shirt was the french restaurant. All the restaurants are no extra charge and they are very accomodating!
UncleG
In the buffet by the beach - open air, you just need to wear shoes and a coverup if you are a woman. Shoes and shirts for men. In the air conditioned restaurants, the men need to wear pants and closed toed shoes; women can wear dresses and sandals. I saw women wearing like booty shorts and didn't get asked to leave. I only got kicked out for no shoes once!
Kajodre
for women sun dress or skirt is good.
Rudolph
I wore sundresses everynight...some you just had to have shirts and shoes. It says specifically what to wear on the "passport" you get when you arrive at hotel.
NikonNurse
a dress or pants for a women was fine, it was the men that had to wear dress pants in a few restaurants.
Happyvacationer
The dress code is applicable to the men for the French Restaurant only. All other restaurants require casual attire and women cannot enter any of the restaurants with just a bathing suit. Therefore, you will be fine with a dress or skirt.

How do I purchase spa treatment and/ or excursions for a friends honeymoon?2 answers
6 years, 80 months ago
Supertoad
Spa treatments can only be purchased directly with the resort. Excursions can be added to the vacation package prior to travel.
MariaCC
You can walk into the spa facility and purchase a package for the honeymooners right inside. I believe what they do is charge it at the end of your stay. And in regards to the excursions, there are reps in the main lobby which can assist you with that. They have many different excursions to choose from. If they go, my wife and I (which also went for our honeymoon) were attended by William from Amstar; very honest man and wasn't just trying to make sales.

Swim up room and jetted tub3 answers
I am looking at this resort for our anniversary in July (no children! :)) and was interested in the swim up rooms. Even if it is pass 6pm, can we still access the pool directly in front of our room? I see there is a jetted tub according to the pictures, is this on the patio outside? This there a jetted tub in the bathroom? Looking for a nice relaxing time with the hubby.
6 years, 76 months ago
Stacey
If you do have a swim up room, you will still have to abide by the resort pool hours. The best room categories to have the jetted tub on the patio is the Colonial Junior Suite Ocean Front and Majestic Junior Suite. Most rooms do have a jetted tub, but not all rooms will.
KristenCC
My wife and I had a Junior Suite room. It was very nice and spacious with swim out to the pool. Jacuzi pool in the room was spacious for two, not really great jets but ok. The jacuzi on the patio was small only for one and the jets aren't really great. the pool closed after sundown. i think for safety reasons. the grounds of the resort are very tropical. the beach is amazing. lots of alcohol. if you like to drink you'll be happy. the meat in the restraunants is tough though. japanese and french restrauants are pretty good.
semperfi7
We had an upper room and had a tub but could not get the drain to stay down so couldn't use it. The rooms by the pool do have access to the pool but it does close at 6 PM and opens at 8 AM. You might be able to cheat. The pool rooms do have the tubs outside. I don't know if any inside.
llensan
We booked a swim-up room 6 months in advance and were told when we got there it was not available. Big disappointment since this is why we chose this resort. Maybe July will not be a problem since we went in Feb during high season. The Jacuzzi tubs were on the patio. You can't go in the pool after dark.

They had free wi-fi in the colonial club room (adults only section) along with 8 computers for use. I don't know if they have wi-fi available in the rooms, but it was very easy to access in the club area on our tablet. I was a little nervous to not have it in our room, but it was actually nice to be unconnected for a while. We still could check our emails and stay in touch with family, but it wasn't constant. We could actually connect with each other and not be interrupted by texts, emails and calls all day. Like I said I'm not sure if they offer wi-fi in the room, but I would rethink having it. You have it for free at anytime in the club room and keep your room as your personal sanctuary. You are in paradise, enjoy it!!

Is the beach calm for swimming, and is the snorkelling good on site?6 answers
6 years, 73 months ago
Buffalo, NY
The Majestic Colonial Punta Cana is located on Bavaro Beach, one of the most beautiful, clean beaches in the world and just a 3-minute walk from the hotel. Towels, umbrellas and lounge chairs are provided at the beach.
CaitlinCC
The beach is actually pretty wavy and not that calm.Never went snorkeling.
sheil
The beach is a bit rocky in the water due to a coral reef right in front of resort. so you need to be careful where you step. but if you walk down a little ways there are hardly any rocks. Yes you can snorkel there too, but waves sometimes push you onto reef and that can hurt! bring water shoes, we also brought our own snorkel and mask, theirs weren't so good.
lsantiago015
The beach was nice to swim in. The snorkeling was goof ( better than I expected). Just an FYI grab some bread from the buffet that is right by the beach and break it apart into tiny pieces the fish will come to you. I didn't have bread but acted like I was breaking some apart and they came right up to my hands while snorkeling.
Vacacarrib
I'd look to the south side of the Dominican for calm, clear waters... the snorkeling at Majestic was decent but I think you want to head to the south side for more picturesque, carribean waters... Majestic is on the Atlantic ocean... pretty, but one to two foot waves... if a storm comes in the water murks up... I say south side for you, about 6 o'clock if Dominican was the clock...
JoeandJessica
The beach has a bit of coral which is rough on your feet. The island was really windy while we were there which we were told was very typical, so the beach was a little rough. Since the beach is so rough i don't think many fish hang around so there is not much to look at if you do go snorkeling.

The colonial section I think was remodeled and opened a few years ago.There are no roof top bars.The lobby area is the opposite side from the beach.Colonial club is closer to the beach.Colonial club is worth the upgrade.

yes, its newer than the other section, nicer too. no roof top bars, both areas have sections that are closer to the beach, but colonial club had more, I think. if your looking for adults only, stay in the Majestic Elegance, its on the same property, right next to the Colonial Club, and its nicer!
lsantiago015
Our room was 3310 between lobby and club with pool view. The section with garden view is closer to the beach, but view wasn't as good. Liked where we were because we were central to pool, club, and lobby. Beach wasn't too far and was essentially in views at pool level.

5 years, 70 months ago
belis
We do not have any reports on file of any illness from clients staying at this resort. However, exposure to food/water that is different from the normal day-to-day you are used to experiencing can sometimes result in illness. Additionally, the water in the Dominican Republic cannot be consumed. We do strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance with your vacation package as the protection plan covers should medical assistance be needed while in destination.
MariaCC
The water, I guess they use it to cook.
UrsiV
WE, too, got sick. I think it is a combination of tap water and unsanitary pool conditions.
Sibley
The water is not up to American standards. Do not eat anything uncooked off the resort, and use hand sanitizer before you eat. Also, my group and I take pro-biotics 2 weeks before we leave and during our trip. I did not get sick. Good luck!
Hawkgirl
we didnt get "sick" per say, but we had to use the bathroom frequently while we were there. (but it did not hold us back from ding anything)
lsantiago015
Drinking too much, or drinking frozen drinks made with coconut milk. Also, if you eat too much fruit it is a laxative so just balance your diet.

Tap water and pitcher water at the restaurants... Drink only bottled water, brush your teeth with bottled water, don't drink in the shower... and wash your hands with bottled water too - just to be safe...

If you have a CheapCaribbean.com credit, you would need to book your excursions with one of our Concierge agents. We can be reached at 1-800-915-2322. If your credit is directly through one of our partner vendors, you would need to reach out to them directly to use your credit.
CoryCC
I personally would wait until you got to the resort. There are many, many representatives in the MAIN LOBBY there to help you any way they can, including a representative Monica from Cheap Caribbean!!!
MADER
You can definitely wait until you get there, as at the Majestic Colonial there were tons of different companies at the resort everyday 9-5. That way you will be able to see the different options and have someone explain to you. I used Olympus Tours and booked a full week of things to do for 430 for 2 people. That also happened to be the company who provided transportation from the airport so it was fairly simple. If you want to purchase ahead of time or find out about your credit, you could definitely google a few sites and see what is out there contacting the company directly. Trip Advisor is really good and I recommend Zip Lining with Canopy Adventures or the Buggy.
McCoyAle
you can check the excursions on this site.. do a search on activities. it is recommended to pay for the ones you want beforehand and then schedule it when you get there... scheduling it through the tour company through this site gets you a better rate. there are things like: ziplining (canopy tour), buggy adventure rides, atv rides, historical tours..

La Hispanola is right next to the beach. For dinner, all of the restaurants do want you to dress appropriately. I assumed its because there are other guests and especially couples and children. If you bring a cover up or something of the sort with you to the beach you will be perfectly fine. You dont have to dress up but your body has to be covered. My friend and I wore bathing suits everyday except for when we would leave the resort. It was fine as long as we had a cover up (beach dress) or some shorts on. Plus the restaurant closest to the beach was our favorite, the seafood was awesome. Hope I helped.

There is a restaurant right there at the beach/ pool area, so you don't have to go to the rooms , also they have a Tikki bar at pool.

I literally just got back (about 10 hours ago) from the Majestic Colonial. My brother had the best wedding I've have ever seen. The staff and the wedding coordinator were on point and helpful with everything you may need. As far as accommodation for a wedding, is all based on how many wedding are occurring, and the amount of people in the party. We had the wedding in the oval palace, and the reception on the beach.

I travelled with kids but wished I would have had club access but the pool for regular bookings is awesome
Bigd4720
we stayed in the club section and felt it was worth it. They take you to an AC room for private check in where you meet your Butler who takes care of anything you may need and you go to this room when you check out. You can use the Gourmet restaurant for Breakfast & Lunch in a dry bathing suit coverups. You have access to 2 adult only pools and you get a better beach towel and you have a small private Club only section of the beach with waiter service although the bar is 20 steps from your chair:)

Has anyone taken the Saona Island Excursion?5 answers
I was wondering how long it will take to get there? It's not worth my time to book this excursion if half of the time is spent getting there and coming back? Is it worth the trip?

Cody
This tour runs from approximately 7:30am-7:45pm. The amount of time spend traveling depends on which resorts people are coming from on the date that you take the tour, it can vary day by day but it is an all day excursion.
LizCC
I just did it two days ago. Do NOT do it. You will regret it. I am still physically ill from that excursion. It is a tourist trap.
Worldwise
It took about an hour and one half. The time went fast. On the way home almost everyone was resting or sleeping. We took the speedboat out to the island and the catamaran back. We danced and partied on the way back. It was worth every penny.
Dartick
The bus ride from the hotel (8:00am) took a little over an hour as you stop at 2 other hotels. We took the catamaran to the island and it took 90 minutes. We had a cookout at the island. Then left at 3:00pm and took a power boat to a sandbar to look at starfish (only there for 30 minutes), Then went back on the power boat to the mainland. Then took bus back to the hotel (we arrived at 6:00pm).
Note: You might be taking the power boat first to the island and then take the catamaran back. Free rum and cokes and beer on the catamaran.
The cost was $105/person on Saturdays, but cheaper on Sundays
Lar8
We spoke with someone who had taken it and they said it was very worth it. I believe they said they were picked up around 6 a.m. and it was all day, but they said it was wonderful!

Family friendly room. 3 Adults 1 Fifteen year old child.3 answers
We are unsure of what room to reserve for this hotel (Majestic Colonial Punta Cana). We are looking for a room with an enclosed bathroom and with a lack of description and pictures with each room we cannot find one suitable for our needs. We are also unsure of whether the 15 year old child is considered an adult or child at the resort due to different descriptions on both this site as well as the hotel room occupancy description. The occupancy description is ages 2-12 for children but this site is 0-18.

An adult is 13 and over. I don't think an enclosed bathroom is possible as the shower and bathroom are separated by fogged glass. My son stayed with our 2 grand children and the beds are slightly larger than a single but not as large as a double.
Danl
Just got back from this resort. Like many hotels the sink and mirror are seperate from the toilet and shower room. The rooms we had each had a walk in shower, approximately 5' X 8'. There is a seperate toilet in a small 3'X4' room. It is fairly tight. Both the shower and toilet have full length frosted glass doors. Privacy is at a minimum. We traveled with our 13 year old daughter. We just ended up draping a towel over the door for a little added privacy. There really is no place private to change unless you walk into the shower.watch out for the marble floors in the room, slippery when wet. We had the Junior suite with Jacuzzi and the Junior suite with swim up room which had two Jacuzzis.

The buffet, available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is inside. The Japanese, French, and Mexican restaurants are all located inside. There is an open air restaurant located beach side. Most of the tables are under a substantial roof (it is quite a large building) but there are probably 40-50 tables outside. There is no roof outside but there is a pergola which provides a little shade. This restaurant serves lunch and also dinner. Long pants not required except for the French restaurant.

Butler service is included on 2 of the room categories we sell: Colonial Club Colonial Junior Suite Ocean Front and Colonial Club One Bedroom Suite. Both room types comes with a jacuzzi. To have butler service without purchase of the above room categories will need to be set up (if possible) with the reception upon your arrival.

You would need to book a "Colonial Club" room category to receive Butler Service.

I think you want Majestic Elegance, I thought I read that they were mjore kid friendly. They do have kid's activities at Majestic Colonial. There are three floors, yes, - there is an elevator. With CheapCaribbian.com you can order a private transportation to and from airport - it was worth it! Hope the kids are not picky eaters - we are. Food is okay, just bland for our taste. Bring lots of sunscreen!!! There are sidewalks for strollers. Bring your own flats - then throw them or give them away before you leave (not worth to take back with all the sand). I think the big pool allows floats - the adult pool does. Sunglasses and sun hats! We saw people with cups/plastic glasses that kept drinks cold - thought that was a pretty good idea - bars will refill those with whatever you want. Bottled water only! - available everywhere.

You can always add a special request to your reservation. Please keep in mind requests are never guaranteed and are based upon availability at check in. To add this request to your reservation please call our beach experts at 1-800-915-2322.
CaitlinCC
They have swim up rooms but you would have to pull yourself up - there are not stairs to get into pool from your room. The water is only about 3 to 3.5 feet deep. Maybe a corner swim up room that way you can walk around corner and use stairs to get into pool. You could also order room service (not many choices, but actually better than buffet). Swim up rooms close to Spa, didn't notice wheel chair ramp at spa (wasn't looking) Sorry, can't tell you more. It would be a long walk to buffet, not too bad to Rodeo Grill or beach - there is a rock and/or tile sidewalk to just about everywhere.

Are the Bali-style beds at the pool hare to get?2 answers
4 years, 50 months ago
Royal Oak
Yes, this resort does have Bali beds near the pool area.
CaitlinCC
We never had an issue finding a bali bed in the afternoons. We would spend our mornings at the beach and then migrate to the Colonial Club pools in the afternoons around 2-3pm. While we had to search for one, we never had an issue finding an available bed. People get up very early in the morning and throw their stuff on the beds to save them, but usually the beds will "turnover" in the afternoons. So either find one early in the day, or enjoy the beautiful beach and then hit the pool in the afternoons.

There are veggie sides, of course, and a couple of restaurants have excellent caprese salads.

My friends and I are planning a graduation trip in May 2015. There are 4 of us and we would prefer to stay in the same suite. What is the limit on persons per room?
Also, what are the details regarding the All Inclusive access if we are allowed to stay in the same room? Will we all be provided our own wristbands for access, etc.
Thank you for this additional information.

The following categories will allow a maximum of 4 adults in a room. (Please be advised this information is subject to change at any time) Junior Suite with Jacuzzi
Majestic Junior Suite (Swim Up)
Colonial Club Junior Suite with Jacuzzi - Adults Only
Junior Suite Ocean View with Jacuzzi
Colonial Club Majestic Junior Suite (Swim Up) - Adults Only
Colonial Junior Suite Ocean Front (Outdoor Jacuzzi
Also, the all inclusive features will be available to all guests in the room.
KristenCC
i believe you can contact the hotel ahead of time, now, and ask for a room with 2 double beds. all rooms have a king side bed automatically.
ragdollcats
My understanding from booking is that everyone pays per person, so it does not matter cost-wise how many rooms you get. It seemed like the rooms were meant for couples, but they are also listed on the Majestic hotel website.
Jmarks31
We are a family of 4, and we all stayed in one suite. I did request a "rollaway" bed, but we never did use it. We shared the two main beds. Of course, we are family, so it might be a bit "uncomfortable" for friends. I don't know for sure if the beds were "full" or "queen", but I think they were full. We each had a wrist band, my under-age daughter's being a different color, to show she was not eligible for alcoholic drinks.
TomDe
Once you pay for your all inclusive package it doesn't matter where you sleep, you still have access to everything that's all inclusive, but why be uncomfortable when you can request rooms next door to each other like we did, and we upgraded to the swim up rooms which are awesome.
Good Luck.

CCGreg
upgrade to the Colonial Club and there are more room choices
JerseyCrewz
If you are a good speaker and request it you might get them to upgrade you. We were a total of four couples and spoke to the front desk clerk and asked that we stay together and requested upgrades for all four couples and families. It took some work, but we got it done, and a tip at the end didn't hurt. In other words, beg, beg and beg it's definitely worth it those rooms made a difference:) Good Luck.

Can I leave the resort at any time?5 answers
Hi, I have a general question.. Is Punta Cana a safe area where I could leave the restore and venture off into the nearest town?
4 years, 48 months ago
Dino
Punta Cana is generally safe but there aren't really any towns around as it is mostly a resort/hotel destination.
CCGreg
No- definitely not recommended. The surrounding areas are very poor and can be unsafe especially at night
Jonathin
There is really no reason at all that you would need to leave this resort. They have everything you could need right there including little shops to buy things in. The area around this particular resort did not seem the safest to venture out to.
MamaJuana33
Yes you can but if you do it on your own there is really not much to see as punts Cana is like a country side and most likely there are not attractions other than in the resorts. There is however a downtown but it is very small. My best recommendation is to go on the escursions or tours offered for an extra price and they will take you
Imilla
Hi Dino. Not sure about safety, but I would definitely not do that unless you are with a tour. This resort is huge and has so much to offer, you will not be bored. it was my first time there and I would go back.

Does La Bodequita del Majestica serves alcohol?4 answers

Per the resort's official website, "The fast food snack bar La Bodequita del Majestica serves a selection of late night delights including hamburgers, buffalo wings, soft drinks, and beer." This information can be found here: https://www.majestic-resorts.com/en/majestic-colonial-punta-cana-punta-cana/la-b-del-m.html
BILLCC
I believe this is the place next to the casino and food/snacks are served.
Rooser
Though we didn't drink there, I did see people with drinks - It looked like some liquors, beer, and wine. I didn't see a fully stocked bar, but I did see a guy get a rum and coke from somewhere behind the counter.
The snack options are limited - fried chicken (but not the kind you are thinking about...or would want to eat), cheese burgers, hot dogs, mixed sandwiches, nachos with cheese (guac and salsa also available), french fries...I think that may be it.

They do not have shuttle service to and from the airport, because we called the day before and asked them that question. I booked with a separate shuttle company, but my brother waited until he got to the airport and was able to find transportation without a problem.

If you stay on the adults only "Colonial Club" side of the resort you have free wifi. It was pretty decent speed and coverage throughout the resort, however we had to go to settings and connect to it each day- it did not automatically connect everytime.
Beachlovermom
You get free wifi all over the resort.
monaris
Suprisingly, the wifi is included at no cost.
The connection is a bit weak in some areas but you're able to stay connected for the most part.

For an additional fee, guests can access the Internet in two locations. Wi-Fi and computer libraries with Internet are available in the lobby, and high-speed Internet is available in all guest rooms. Elegance Club guests enjoy complimentary high-speed Internet in guest rooms and complimentary Wi-Fi in the 3 VIP lounges.

Beware theft is very prevelant your value belongings and money is not safe in your room! Most safes can be overrode with 1234. I arrived on Mon by Tues afternnon my large bills and phone had been stolen. I reported and I did not receive satisfactory result instead I received HORRIBLE SERVICE AND THEY SEEMED TO IGNORE THE SITUATION. I SPENT MOST OF MY 7DAY VACATION CONTACTING CHEAP CARRIBBEAN WITH ALL MY COMPLAINTS WHICH THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE ALL MY ISSUES EITHER. THE ENTIRE STAY MY MINI BAR WAS NEVER RESTOCKED INCE. ROOM SERVICE WAS DELIVERED COLD, ASKED FOR EXTRA WASH CLOTHS EVERY DAY DIDNT FINALLY RECEIVE THEM UNTIL DAY 6. THE SERVICE WAS HORRIFIC But the beach was beautiful and the nightly shows were nice especially the Michael Jackson show. DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY OR THE MAJESTIC ELEGANCE THEY ARE ONE IN THE SAME. I spoke with many other guests with similar complaints of horrible service and theft. IF YOU ARE COUNTING ON CHEAP CARRIBBEAN TO STAND BY THEIR WORD AND MAKE IT THE GREATEST POSSIBLE VACATION DON'T! AFTER 7 DAYS OF HE** THEY MERELY OFFERED ME A FREE PRIVATE TRANSPORT ON MY NEXT VACAY IF I TOOK IT IN THE NEXT YEAR WHICH WAS LAUGHABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. I WOULD RECOMMEND NO ONE STAY AT THIS PROPERTY! THE 1ST DAY IT TOOK 2 CALLS AND A EMAIL TO CHEAP CARRIBBEAN BEFORE MY ROOM WAS FINALLY CLEANED WELL AFTER 430pm. I can go on & on about the horrific service and terrible experience I endured even took some pics of the burned cold room service. Cheap carribbean isn't dependable on standing by their commitment or offering a fair commendation when things go horribly wrong. VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VACATION AND ALL PARTIES SERVICE. TRUE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SATISFACTION IS NON-EXISTANT HERE. PLEASE BEWARE!!! I WILL NEVER GET THOSE PICS AND MEMORIES BACK OFF MY STOLEN PHONE AND NOTHING WHAT SO EVER WAS DONE. US BUSINESS PEOPLE KNOW CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND RETENTION IS A FIRST PRIORITY, THESE COMPANIES DON'T! BEWARE DO NOT LEAVE VALIABLES BEHIND DON'T TAKE THIS POST LIGHTLY!!!

There are numerous restaurants that require reservations. There is a website that you can do this through or you can call guest services and set this up. Reservations are only taken for that particular day and you cant book any days ahead. I would recommend booking as early that morning as possible and call. We made the mistake of using the online booking and because wifi would be hit and miss in areas, we missed some communication from them about certain times not being available.
Tricia5579
I would suggest making reservation before you get down there. we had a lot of trouble with this

We suggest making reservations upon check-in at the resort. You are not able to make reservations more than a few days ahead of time. For further information, please call us at 1.800.915.2322.
SamCC
You can make reservations whenever. One day we made one reservation, another day we made reservations for the next three nights. I'd suggest trying the Japanese place first - that's the only place where the restaurant was actually filled. Though we made reservations every night, no other restaurants were ever even half-filled when we were in there (i.e. seafood place, Mexican place, French place).

We did not make any reservations, The only restaurant that really needed reservations was the Japanese Hibachi Grill.

The new hotel the Majestic Mirage is supposed to be opening in December 2016. If you are staying at the colonial you will not be affected by the construction. the mirage though is located next to the elegance so you will hear some construction in February if it is not done.

By booking through Cheap Caribbean, the ground transportation company they use in DR is AM Star. There's a representative in the hotel lobby from 8-5 every day, and Wander was very helpful for our trip. Being a college spring break, we did a "booze cruise" and saw numerous other similar excursions with other older folks. Included 30 minutes snorkeling, open bar, a "natural pool" with drinks (sandbar in the middle of the ocean - bring a tube!) and dancing on the boat until sunset, including ground transportation. Overall was relatively cheap and a TON of fun! There were numerous other similar excursions. It was amazing to get out snorkeling and would recommend!

We've been to the DR twice. We've gone parasailing, the Saona Island trip, Outback Adventures Safari, and Scape Park (Blue Hole & ZIplining). We enjoyed all of them, though I am terrified of heights and the ziplining takes you off the edge of what is essentially a mountain cliff.
JamesF
Scape park was the best trip. You could choose 1,2 or 3 things to do in the day and it was not badly priced at all! Even getting a free meal and drinks throughout the day!

Swimming with the shark.

We took "Outback Safari" first, because it already had a 5 star rating. It was recommended to us by our Amstar representative. Our tour guide, Eddy, and our driver, Vademir, were fantastic. It was a long day, 9 1/2 hours from pick-up to drop-off, but it was will worth it. Lunch, high up in the mountains, was excellent. Plenty of things to see and do on this excursion and it ended with a stop at a public beach that was very beautiful. BTW. Any liquid "refreshment" you wanted, they provided. We also give this a 5 star rating.

For Elegant Casual, men should wear dress shoes, loafers or dress sandals; dress shirts with sleeves; and long pants or maybe a pair of Bermudas depending on the resort. Sleeveless shirts aren't allowed. Women can wear skirts, pants, or sundresses. Capris reside in a gray area and differ from resort to resort. No flip-flops.

there is a dress code.
carol68
i wore sandals the whole time - i almost felt overdressed in heels, even in the restaurant with the most strict dress code. The dress code wasn't too formal - women were going in with casual dresses or shorts/capris and casual tops and it was fine. I think it's mostly in place for men.
bikimiki
I wore Jack Rogers but saw women and girls wearing Old Navy type thong sandals for dinner. French restaurant and Mexican seemed a little more fancy, and wore wedges.
ekm1
I brought a pair of heels and wedges. I was there for 5 nights and only wore my wedges once and did not touch my heels! You could definitely wear heels and wedges but you can also wear nice sandals and flip flops. Only the French restaurant has a dress code but I think even there you can wear nice sandals. You really could wear either heels or flip flops any night, it just depends on how you want to dress! People are dressed really casual to really dressy and all in between! I would bring a variety of casual and dressy clothes.

Access to Colonial Club5 answers
Do adults have access to the Colonial Club pools if they are not guests in that section of the resort?
If not, are there typically a lot of children in the pool area in front of the Majestic swim up suites?
3 years, 39 months ago
US
The Colonial club is adults only and for Colonial Club members. For more information on pool access, please check with the resort directly. Their international phone number is: +809-221-9898.
TimCC
We stayed on the colonial side and if you can I would upgrade to this side. There are perks you get with this like breakfast at some the restaurants that don't open till later, premium liquor at your private bars, a private club lounge with drinks and snacks.... There was not an overwhelming amount by of children that I seen when I was on the family side. If you are not traveling with children, I would recomm be club side.
Jjssdp
Yes you have access! Because the resort is *relatively* small, the pool for the Colonial Club seemed slightly small. Saw couples and groups at the Colonial pool with their Club towels all week. There is a very small children's pool, but there never seemed to be a lot of kids running around. Maybe they were all napping during happy hour! The pool was very quiet all day before 3:00 or so.
ekm1
NO you must be a VIP Colonial Club member to use those pools and they do look for this and will ask you to leave if you are not. The family side pools are very busy and full of activities. Club side very relaxing and quiet laid out very well.
ToesintheSanddrinkinhand
No. And there were not too many children.

What does casual or formal shoes mean for dress code for women?5 answers
To me casual or formal shoes are 2 different things...what kind of shoes specifically are ok or not ok for women to wear to restaurants with this description? ?
3 years, 39 months ago
USA
Anything close-toed is fine. No sandals or flip flops.
SalCC
My wife wore flipflops to all restaurants accept for one which was formal. She wore high heels and a dress, like she would wear to go to a restaurant in NYC for example. That day I wore vans, every other dinner we were in flip flops!
ChrisNCarol
They weren't too strict about the dress code, but no thong flip flops (like Old Navy) were often seen at dinner. I wore nice sandals (Jack Rogers) or nice wedges. For the buffet, anything goes basically. Seafood and Steakhouse were more casual.
ekm1
We didn't attend a formal restaurants, but we, women, can get away with almost anything we wear, we all wore different types of sandals and got in to the restaurants we wanted, but they do not allow sleeveless shirts for the men, therefore some of them had to go back to the rooms and change. Don't over pack most of us didn't use all of the shoes and clothes we took with us.
plato62
They honestly never really cared that much about dress code. I think as long as you look nice there shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't wear jeans and a t-shirt. My boyfriend wore golf shorts and a polo with sneakers and was fine and I usually wore a skirt with sandles and was fine.

I don't know about cots in the room but I think they have them available. We thought the swim up bar was very nice. The staff was phenomenal, especially Ramon. Some of the visitors were goof balls but the staff was great. One swim up bar at the pool.
RayBarb
When I went last week there were 2 swim up bars that I noticed. One of them were for Colonial Club members only. Not sure about the cots. I would guess so, they were very accommodating for us.
Smntha
The resort does have a swim up bar. please check with the resort directly for the most up to date information regarding cots.
TimCC
It seemed as though each room had a cot in it, regardless of if you had 2 doubles or a king.
One swim up bar in the pool. Bar in the buffet which is halfway between the pool and the beach - was a nice break when we got too hot on the beach to go up for a drink! Waitstaff also was walking the beach taking drink orders.
ekm1
Ah let's see There is a swim up bar in the main pool open until 5PM (pools close at 6) As for cots??? There are lounge chairs a plenty and some float type chairs and flat floaters but it is 1st come 1sr grabbed for those, If you pay to stay in the adult side then there are 2 private pools with swim up bars and outdoor loungers and Cabana's . again the pools and bars close at night but access to drinks is not a problem.

I experienced this. The offering through CheapCarribean filled up so its no longer available. However if you book directly with the resort they will still have those rooms available. All rooms come with a 2 person jetted tub anyways so pass on the outdoor Jacuzzi and go VIP. Once you see the pools in the VIP you wont spend anytime in the Jacuzzi.

tipping is not required, but we left a couple of dollars each day with a thank you on a post it for both our butler and maid; they work hard for little pay, so a small tip is appreciated and means a lot to them

Ice5 answers
Have read many comments about not drinking tap water, only brushing teeth with bottled water, and washing hands with bottled water. What about ice? Should we consider packing an ice tray and make our own ice from bottled water?
2 years, 35 months ago
Texas
No, you don't need to make your own ice. The resort does use safe-to-drink water to make the ice cubes for your drinks. You can certainly bring an ice tray if it would help you be at ease and better enjoy your vacation, but it is not a necessity to do so.
JeannieCC
only use bottles and there's plenty of them.
at meals, they serve you water that's filtered - and that's fine.
leomarie88
Ice tray wouldn't help. Ice makers are pure. Water served is pure. I just didn't drink sink water or use it to clean toothbrush or rinse mouth. I was fine and I'm sensitive. Water from tap looked clean but butler said not pure.
Travelguruep
No......the ice and water at the resort restaurant Nya is ok. The tap water should only be used for bathing and brushing your teeth. My wife usually has stomach issues in Mexico but we have been here 7 days already and she has not had an issue.

Colonial is more kid friendly. They do have a separate quarters for adults only. Highly recommended if you are traveling without kids! You get your own private area with cabanas and swim up bar/pool area. Elegance is more of a VIP experience (adult friendly). We were told Colonial was better but don't know if that's true.

Once at the resort, you can certainly discuss with the front desk about possibly making reservations. Otherwise, it really depends on occupancy levels, etc. We always recommend heading to dinner just a littler early if you're looking to eat at a specific time.

Hi. it is very easy to get seated, but it is better if you make a reservation for the restaurant you want so you don't run into any problems. The restaurants and food are fabulous.
Michele
MConn
We never had a problem getting seated at any of the "walk-in" restaurants. There was always seats available. For the restaurants that do take reservations, I would make use of the online booking site they offer.
TomDe
It's easy, especially since the end of February will likely be slightly less busy than the holiday season. You can make reservations for more than one day at a time, so you can make reservations for the whole stay. The buffet options are good too, so you'll have nothing to worry about if you can't get the reservation you want.
AlyG
It's not a problem unless you want to go to hibachi or the french restaurant. We didn't make a reservation when visiting the others and even though they "recommend" it, we were always seated within minutes.

are transfers from airport to hotel included? If not, how do we travel to hotel and what is the average cost we should expect to pay
2 years, 30 months ago
TW
No, unfortunately transfers are not included. These can be added on for an additional cost either at the time of booking or up to 48 hours prior to travel on an existing reservation. Cost can vary anywhere from $24 per person up to and above $200 per person, depending.
JeannieCC
Unless your travel agent/company provides the service, airport transfer in not included. We paid $40 +tip for taxi trip of about 1/2 hour.
TomDe
It was included for us and super easy. There was someone waiting after customs in the airport in a blue shirt waiting to fill up the van to take people to the resorts (there is a specific company that works with cheapcaribbean.com and other companies). They were also there waiting to take us back from the resort when we needed to return.
Honeybrown
Hello,
I used dominicanplus.com and they were GREAT! Also, they are super affordable. For three people: round trip from hotel to airport and one bottle of prosecco it came out to $84 - $28 per person.
StephanieP
We booked the all inclusive package through Cheap Caribbean and I chose to have the transportation included. I did this so that we knew we would be with a safe company.
The resort is a 30 minute ride from the airport. The company used was Amstar.
KC5115
Dominican Limousine was a great option for us. They are first class in my opinion and found it to be the cheapest option. We paid $28 plus tip each way for my wife and me.

They do have entertainment here, however for assistance with finding the best resort for the vacation of your dreams, please call in to 800-915-2322 to speak with one of our beach experts.
JeannieCC
They had some entertainment but it was specific times. There were some near the pool, some in the theater, and some on the beach. They had a schedule near the lobby with all of the events and times.
While we were there, they had a Michael Jackson impersonater and it was really good!

The resorts will normally provide some sort of travel size shampoo or soap. You may wish to bring travel soaps. If you have any further questions, you may contact the resort directly or call and speak to one of our Beachologists at 1-800-915-2322.
TimCC
Some of my family members prefer their own shampoo, etc. but I used the ones provided. They were restocked by room service daily, and we were never without.

Beach5 answers
Is it a private beach? How much do you have to walk to get to the beach? I am with kids and was wondering how accessible the beach is.
2 years, 29 months ago
Rahul M
It is a public beach. How far you have to walk to beach depends on your room's location. The property is beachfront but may require a 5-7 minute walk to get to beach depending on where you are coming from.
CCGreg
Accessibility of the beach will depend on your room. The rooms closest to the beach are literally a "stones throw" from it, but the rooms closest to the main lobby have the longest walk. I would say it's at least a 1/4 mile for those rooms. Our room was closer to the beach than the lobby. Not sure if the beach is "private", but for all intents I would say "yes", because there is no access to it if you are not in the resort, or one of the neighboring ones.
TomDe
It is a private beach. It is right on the resort, so there is not a long walk to reach it.
AlyG
it's a little big of a walk to beach but very beautiful along the way. pool is closer
jodybev
You right on the beach.

Is there a cocktail lounge that overlooks the ocean?5 answers
We like to have a couple of after dinner drinks, but would like a place that overlooks the ocean. We are not particularly beach people but enjoy looking at the ocean.
2 years, 28 months ago
FL
Tres Carabelas is an oceanfront restaurant where drinks would be served with dinner. Also there is a beach bar that is open into the evening.
CCGreg
Yes, it is at the steak & seafood restaurant near beach
archerystar
There's a restaurant the overlooks the beach with a bar there. There's also a few bars that are right on the beach but they're not facing the ocean. The restaurant would be your best bet for looking at the ocean while having a drink.
chicago2016
Yes, there is. There is a restaurant and bar that's right off the beach, and during the day, they have a "temporary" bar set up right on the beach.
TomDe
Don't worry, several bar areas overlooking the beach, and even if your not "Beach People", grab a drink at the numerous bar set-ups and a two minute walk puts you amongst the little Tiki Umbrellas on the beach, private, relaxing and a great evening sea breeze. Or even a short evening stroll on the beach after dinner, cocktail in hand. Try it and Enjoy!

TimCC
My husband and I got massages while at our resort. It was an extra fee ($90 each for 55 min) but worth it. We got to go an hour early to our appointment and enjoy the sauna and the aromatic showers and giant hot tub. Definitely worth the extra money.
Honeybrown
I went in an left lol I saw a facial for 150USD. Bye! Warm water and cleanser for me! But there is a spa excursion. For a very decent price it was 120USD maybe. Message and pedicures on a boat. I didn't do it but it seemed cool.
Curvestravel2
They have a spa and offer massages. It was about $100 / hour. You could use the spa facilities for $10/hour
DSK1966
I had an hour massage, and the price was in line with back home ($100). If you're looking to relax, go ahead and book it. But if you're looking to loosen muscles and strain on your back, don't waste your money. The masseuse clearly had no training and didn't know how to work muscles.

Our flights included one lay over in Charlotte, NC both to and from the Dominican Republic. The seat assignments could be made in advance but an additional charge was required .

We had direct flights to and from Punta Cana 4 years in a row. We flew from Dulles airport. Our relatives from Pittsburgh also had a direct flight.
EDNKB
They are not. My flight going to DR was straight but my return flight made a four hour stop in Puerto Rico.
StephanieP
Sometimes Charter flights are direct flights in your area. You might have to play with the dates to find them.
Mjharris1978
Most likely not.. at least that was my experience. The flights can be cheaper but you can expect multiple layovers. You can build your package and then pick from a few flight options which show you how many stops along the way. I booked my flights separately because the option for a direct flight was not available but was from my local airport.

The resort does offer swim up rooms, the resort has a beach bar and we can request for connecting rooms, but they are not guaranteed and are based on availability at time of check in. The information for the teen club is below:
The Pioneers Club is a beautifully decorated castle with a colorful cartoon animation on its interior walls and is fully equipped. Offering a wide variety of facilities, games and activities for your kids, the highly trained staff will take care of all their needs. The club offers activities for children ages 4 to 14. Daily, 9am-7pm.
If you have any further questions, you may contact the resort directly or call and speak to one of our Beachologists at 1-800-915-2322.
TimCC
We did have a swim out room on both trips. Great patio and then right into the water. Excellent bar service on the beach with Colonial Club (upgrade is well worth it). Not sure about teen club, we went adults only. Do not think there are connecting rooms.
DSLE
There are swim out rooms and bar service on the beach. I did not see connecting rooms or a teen club, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. We would have liked connecting rooms, but they put us close enough.
DSK1966
No swim out rooms. pool rooms are about 12 to 20 feet from the pool. No bar service at the beach unless you stay on the club side which has 2 private pools with swim up bars and a private section of beach with it's own bar, I do not know about connecting rooms but there is no teen club.
OLDDUDE
Yes there are many swim up rooms. There is no bar on the beach and very poor wait staff availability. There is no teen club. We had three rooms and none of them had conecting doors

2 years, 24 months ago
Kentucky
We can certainly put in a request, please be advised requests are not guaranteed and they are based on availability at time of check in. You would want to let the front desk know upon arrival. And notify the restaurants so they can be aware of the allergy. Please check with the resort directly for the most up to date information regarding food selection/peanut allergies. If you have any further questions, you may contact the resort directly or call and speak to one of our Beachologists at 1-800-915-2322.
TimCC
They are extremely accommodating. If concerned, I am sure you can email or call in advance. We were asked a few times if there were any special diet requests.
Beachinbabe
That's a tough one , you would have to find out what oils they use to cook with, A call to the resort would fix that, They do not have nuts in the rooms( but always double check) or out where you can get at them and not many dishes had nuts in them outside of desserts . But seriously , call the resort or contact cheap Caribbean.
OLDDUDE
There were many dishes with peanuts, walnuts, and almonds. I would make sure to carry your epipen at all times and avoid the salad bar and deserts.
BetsyHelen
I think they would try, but our friend had a shellfish allergy and they cooked the meats near each other often. Luckily he would only get a little nausea when this happened, but I wouldn't trust things.

The estimated transport time from airport to the hotel is about 30 mins but there could be variations depending on traffic and guest volume.

Ours was less that 30 min. Approx. 3 stops) But it varies by amount of passengers and how many resorts they serve
OLDDUDE
We flew into Punta Cana airport and used Amstar shuttle bus. There was one stop before we got to our hotel, in total about 25-30 minutes.
house41
It took about 20 minutes to get to/from the airport. The same time for excursion we took to Bavaro Beach. On the way to the hotel, we were in a van with only Majestic guests so there were no other stops. On the way back from the excursion, we stopped only once at another resort that was close by.

Unfortunately all of the colonial club rooms are for guests 18 years or older.
JeannieCC
No, adults only.
TaraMarie
The Colonial Club is an adults only area, for 21 and older. I don't believe they'll allow you to book a room in that area for a 16 year old, as Colonial Club gets separate bracelets.
Aims
I don't think so. They don't allow ANYONE under 18 there from what I saw in the club part.

No, 16 yo must stay on the family side, and must have an adult >18 years in the room with them.

We were provided a bottle of champagne in the room as well. They have several specialty drinks, most which were too sugary for my taste but nice to try. They have mamajuana, the Majestic, Margaritas, Pina Coladas, Daquaris, wine, hard liquor to name a few. The beer they serve on tap is Presidente. They also offer quite a few rums and rum drinks. Although gratuity is included, we brought a stack of singles and tipped most of the service people which they appreciated.

Hotel Description
Majestic Colonial: Punta Cana is Luxury for Couples and Families
Dreaming about sand beneath your feet and a chilled fruity drink in your hands? It's time to wake up and head to Majestic Colonial Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Just minutes from Bavaro Beach, Majestic Colonial stands apart as an all-inclusive resort, sporting jetted tubs in every room, a natural tropical setting and a free-form, lagoon-style pool that meanders its way through the center of the complex.
Lookin' to sport khakis and cool spiked sneakers at the Punta Blanca 18-hole
golf course, designed by Nick Price, that's just 200 m from the resort? If
you're planning on staying five nights or more, you get one round of golf on
the house. Majestic Colonial's Pioneer Kid's Club tends to munchkins ages 3-14.
A beautifully decorated castle, decorated with colorful cartoon animation,
houses its own pool and slides, as well as a variety of sports, a mini disco,
movies and a weekly birthday party on Saturdays for any birthday that falls
during that week. And since the little ones will be more than entertained by
Majestic Colonial's well-trained staff, you've got plenty of time for you.
Now that you've worked up an appetite on the greens, scoop up your munchkins
and catch your reservation at Supreme for an array of Italian cuisine. Or
experience teppanyaki, an authentic Japanese cooking presentation at Matsuri,
where you'll dine a la carte on fine sushi and a complete menu of Oriental
entrees and desserts.
As the day winds down, there's nothing like swimming up to your suite and
snoozing on the gorgeous Bali bed or hopping right in the jetted tub, so a
Colonial Club Swim Up Suite for adults only is a must. If you're traveling
with the family, the One Bedroom Suite is spacious enough for everyone, and you
still get an amazing in-room jetted tub!
