The hotel

Whichever room you decide to stay in at this iconic hotel, you’re going to feel like a rock star — guaranteed! Spacious, indulgent, decadent — those are all words that can be used to describe accommodation here, with double hydro tubs standard throughout. Feel like a superstar, however, in the Rock Star Suite — not only is it huge, it contains drum kits and authentic memorabilia, two electric guitars courtesy of Aerosmith and Paul Stanley no less! Elsewhere in this incredible resort you’ll find 11 swimming pools, there’s the Family Pool, the Isla Pool with Latin-flavoured beats, the Central Pool where everyone gathers and the Sax Pool for peace and quiet. You can also work out to your hearts content at Body Rock fitness centre or chill at Rock Spa®, undoubtedly the finest in the Caribbean complete with hydrotherapy centre, lagoons, whirlpools, steam rooms and cutting edge ice room. Whilst parents are at play, the little ones are too, at their very own kids' club featuring educational, interactive and all-out fun activities. Dining is fun at the Hard Rock too, with breakfast cocktails served at Cafetto. There’s also Italian, Mexican, Chinese and Japanese cuisine to get stuck into and bars galore with DJs, amazing views and top-shelf liquors. Not only boasting one of the biggest casinos in the Caribbean, there’s ORO Nightclub too — located inside the casino and most definitely the gem of the Caribbean!

Hi There. I am a travel agent and destination wedding planner. Last week I was at the Hard Rock in Punta Cana working a Destination Wedding and since I was going to have a lot of downtime between wedding events etc, I had 6 of my own friends join me on this trip. I know there has been a lot of uproar of Hard Rock in the media and I owe it to Mr. Rafael Chapur to write this review. This resort is absolutely stunning! The service has never failed and I have been to this particular property many many times! The guests from the wedding party, my girlfriends who tagged along with me on this trip, all enjoyed the food, drinks (even the drinks on the beach), facilities, and entertainment. A lot of people when they call me to book travel, ask; "is it safe to go to Hard Rock in Punta Cana". Having experienced this property after all the news reports, etc., I have to say its probably one of the safest resorts on the island! Each and every guest enjoyed this all-inclusive hotel to the fullest and came back alive! Read less

My boyfriend and I loved our stay at the Hard Rock Hotel! We went for his birthday, and we had a great time. There is so much variety with food. We loved the Hibachi restaurant. The beach is beautiful, the rooms are gorgeous! Loved the food! There is already something to do. Definitely will be staying again.

My husband and I just returned from our favourite all inclusive THE HARD ROCK PUNTA CANA. We have been enjoying this resort for 10 years and this was no exception. We enjoy the restaurants, pools, beach and spa. The addition of breakfast at Zen while the Marketplace is being enhanced, soon became my favourite breakfast venue. The tostadas bar with many topping items included delicious pico and guacamole. The members’ pool had amazingly friendly and prompt servers. We very much enjoyed the shows with American Idol singers that the resort had brought in for 6 weeks. Ipanema has become our favourite restaurant. It is Brazilian style and a shout out goes to Kasser, one of the waiters who treated us extremely well. Anna , from the spa, was one of the best masseuses I’ve ever had -there or anywhere else. Our butler Isais , as we refer to as our Dominican son, once again was over the top. He certainly enhances our weeks there with prompt and friendly service right down to adding special touches for my 60 th birthday. He really means more to us than just an employee of the resort. As for the negative media concerning the resort or the country in general, don’t believe it. You are very safe here and will get to known and enjoy the lovely people that the Dominican has. I would not hesitate to return tomorrow and as a matter of fact will be returning in a few short months. Ciao for now! Read less

A wonderful week, most staff are friendly, some staff are rude especially in the Moon Lounge & beach bar. Booking restaurants not an issue, now in our second week we’ve booked our favourites, Toro the food is amazing as are the staff, well deserving of a tip. Ciao is great, though they had run out of Parmesan cheese!!! Zen is a great evening of entertainment & skill. The resort is big but then we knew that from doing our own research before coming, 10 min walk isn’t an issue, as a family we try to beat the ‘trains’ on foot. Food by the pools is fast food as you expect, though you can go for buffet lunch in the various restaurants for healthier options. Never an issue to eat, there’s the Bistro Med & Pizzetto which are walk ins at the weekend a number of the restaurants are buffets so no booking required. We’re happy to let our teenage children do their own thing, they go to the main lobby for lunch with friends they’ve made, place feels very safe. Housekeeping is good, rooms clean & mini bar well stocked. Room location & size is perfect for a family. Weekends get extremely busy, there was an incident in one of the pools where someone let their child ‘poop’ so the pool was closed, the same family left dirty nappies under the sun beds, it soon cleared the area. Our biggest disappointment is the amount of single use plastic, the beach is gorgeous, other areas of the world this isn’t the case so please bring your own reusable cups/mugs, to help protect our oceans & marine life.
