Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana - All Inclusive

Check in was smooth and easy. there were many employees in the lobby willing to help. There’s also people offering vacation packages waiting until check in is done to give a short welcome orientation and sign you up for a breakfast presentation. I read reviews that the hotel did not accept Amex, but I had no problem using my card… it was the tour’s transportation that only accepted Visa or Mastercard The hotel surroundings are beautiful, many blooming gardens. Room was nice. Beds were comfortable. Our favorite pool was the Eden pool. It was empty in the morning, had it all to ourselves. Also enjoyed that there’s a soft serve machine there The beach is stunning, white sand and many different shades of blue and turquoise. It’s cleaned every morning so there’s not a lot of seaweed buildup. One must be cautious when sea bathing due to strong waves and currents, but there are always several lifeguards on duty. People pass by offering photos with monkeys and macaws, but they are respectful and do not insist if you are not interested. Since we were on our wedding anniversary, we decided to do a photo shoot. It was super fun and the photos came out stunning! We did the dolphin tour. The hotel made all the arrangements and everything ran very smoothly. It was a wonderful experience to be able to swim with the dolphins. The location is just a short ride away. We also enjoyed a day at the spa. Highly recommend hydrotherapy and couple’s massage. Food was great, many options to choose from. We loved Ciao for breakfast and lunch (no reservations needed). Toro Steakhouse was very good too.
