The food was delicious and the atmosphere was cozy. I had the ribeye steak with vegetables which was seasoned well! I also enjoyed the cabernet sauvignon!! You should add this restaurant to your vacation.

Chateaubriand was amazing, perfectly cooked the sauces were completely unnecessary. My wife had the zucchini and saffron risotto which was also fantastic. Ambiance was a pleasant surprise, not that I could say exactly what I expected. Service was incredibly attentive. Definitely worth visiting, and don't scrimp on the wine.

The food was good at best yet overpriced. The fish, mussels, and chicken were dry, The garlic butter that came with the complimentary bread was really good. The fish ceviche was tangy and flavorful. The tostones were good. The mango mojito was tasty and photogenic. Service was great, wait staff atentive. The mocktails (Pina colada and margarita) were fantastic. I would say the bar was what makes this place. Ah, the desserts were good.

This is my go-to spot in Punta Cana. The food is delicious, the staff is very accommodating. My Dominican husband is a picky eater, and they were able to serve him the food he wanted even though it was not on the menu. The chef even came out to our table to make sure everything was to our liking.

Four stars all around. The food was pretty good, though my partner and I ended up trading dishes because she didn't like hers as much. We had the porcini risotto and the bacon/sausage penne pasta. I enjoyed the la cibaeña cocktail I had. Staff were friendly. We came here on the night of the busiest Carnival celebration and were still able to find a table with

Absolutely our favorite place in Punta Cana by far! We went for three dinners and two lunches during our trip, and everything we tried on the menu was amazing. The staff was amazing, extremely welcoming, helpful, and kind. Reyes was awesome! His attention to detail, recommendations, personality, and friendliness were over the top. 100% would return on our next trip and probably five more times :)

During our Babymoon, my husband and I had a wonderful dinner experience at La Yola. Everyone was very kind and Willy took such a great care of us during the night. He recommended some local dishes that were absolutely our favorite meals during our entire trip! The music and the atmosphere was magical there, we could just highly recommend this place for any special occasion!

The restaurant is visually stunning and someone was actually setting up a “WILL YOU MARRY ME?” sign in the sand when I visited. Really beautiful location with a great view of the beach. The food was okay but my favorite was the pasta. 10/10! The flavor was delicious and it was really filling. Also the garlic sauce that came with the fish fillet was excellent! I recommend the mojitos too!

We loved our day with Eddie and the team! For a very reasonable rate 4 of us went on a 3-hour private boat trip to snorkel at the reefs, and then swim in a shallow natural pool. Equipment, drinks, snacks, and music were provided. We did buy the photos that were taken by the team, mainly because we appreciated the service provided, and because the photographer made the experience fun. Even at the negotiated rate it was still really expensive for 200+ not great quality pics of us that I'll never look at again. There are about 10 good pics of us having fun, I wish there were more of those. We would definitely book with Ecoreef again!

Dolphins and all the other animals are in CAPTIVITY- VERY SMALL SPACES!!!!!!!! Would NOT recommend. Sea lions went back into the water to take a break standing on its hind legs, they forced it back up to pose for photos. It was extremely painful to watch these creatures being used for money. They are also very unorganized as the rep on the resort whom I bought the ticket out the wrong date. We weren’t allowed on the bus and had to call OURSELVES the guy we bought the ticket from to change it. I have done a lot of traveling and by far this is the worst place I’ve ever experience. DO NOT COME HERE.

This was an excellent experience for our family. The crew were excellent. My wife does not know how to swim, but she was able to enjoy the experience since they assigned someone to guide her and move her around in the water. This is definitely more enjoyable if you have snorkeled before, but if you have not (like ourselves) you can pick it up quickly. The catamaran entertainment was very nice. Thank you Brenda.

Staying at Sports Illustrated Resorts on the marina which doesn't have a beach front. This is the beach for our hotel which is about a 15-20 minute drive. Plenty of chairs and cabanas, blue warm water, and sunshine. Even with temps in the 90's and a UV index of 12- there was a wonderful ocean breeze. Great restaurant/ bar right on beach & convenient bathrooms. Life is good here!

Nice park, small not too much walking. It was very hot, they don’t allow food in so of course the food and drinks were over priced. There are people selling souvenirs so you may feel a little pressure into buying. I thought it was a 3 hour excursion but it was 5. The buses dropped us off and there was not other way to get back to the resort, I was ready to go after 3 hours. Overall my daughter enjoyed her self and the animals and that was the point. We didn’t pay extra to swim with the dolphins and I was glad, they were in a small pool.

It is always nice to see dolphins. I am on the fence about this type of activity. I don’t like the dolphins in captivity but since they are I allowed my son and his friend to participate which is a very unique experience that one does not forget. That being said. They do a good job with the training and the instructors seem to care for the dolphins and treat them good. My biggest issue was the photos. The staff take all the photos and at the end it’s over 200$ usd for the whole package. That does not include the pictures with the sea lion. The video includes the whole group you were with as well. They do offer individual pictures for 15$ each. The food is not bad and there is also a small gift shop. Staff don’t speak much English so be prepared for that.

It is not cheap if you buy the pictures but the actual Dolphin Experience was a bucket list for us and well worth it. Easy in, not much of a wait, very friendly staff and what fun being up close and personal with those adorable critters! Added bonus, great Fried Shrimp, the batter made it an unexpected food highlight of our Punta Cana trip.

Absolutely amazing experience for our family of five (kids 11, 13, and 16). We weren’t sure about this and didn’t know if we could spend a full 8 hours here. But it was incredible and totally worth it! The views and experience was amazing. Everyone had a blast! Bring water and wear comfortable water shoes! Do it! Trip of a lifetime! Nothing bad to say!
