We currently have both resorts booked for our kids spring break because when I was looking yesterday, suddenly Dreams La Romana had dropped in price due to the sun kissed savings promotion, so I booked that too! I have been reading about sargassum situation and construction at Flora and was worried about that during our trip.

I will cancel one or the other. I was looking to get some feedback from preferably people who have been to both resorts.

We have two kids. They will be seven and 10 at the time of our trip. We have previously been to dreams Playa Mujeres and Dreams in Costa Rica. My kids loved both resorts, but it was a huge bummer to have seaweed at our trip in Mexico so much so that we could not get into the water. We will be traveling in March, and I realize the chance of sarcasm is low but the beach at La Romana looks beautiful! Our kids loved the water park and slides at both dreams resorts previously. Both of the water parks seem somewhat similar in my opinion. I think my kids would enjoy both!

My real question comes down to the food, the beach, and the entertainment team. Our kids loved the entertainment team in Mexico. They remembered our names, they spoke to my children every day, and they got them involved in games. It’s truly one of the highlights of the trip. We are usually asleep by the nighttime shows, so just factor in daytime entertainment. They play hard, so after dinner they are usually wiped! Although they are older now, so who knows! While we aren't foodies by any means, we found the food at both previous dreams resorts pretty average. I was pleasantly surprised after reading the negative reviews, but we do appreciate tasty food. Does one resort have way better food than the other? That could swing our vote too!

What resort would you recommend for us? Thanks in advance!

Toronto girly here! 🇨🇦 My boyfriend and I were planning to book this resort for New Year’s, Dec. 27–Jan. 10. We’ve been monitoring the price weekly, and we just noticed it has gone up by** $3,200 P**P — from $3,600 to $6,800! 😳
Does anyone know why there would be such a huge price increase (almost 90%)? It’s not a high-end resort, and we’re seeing other resorts with higher ratings that are actually cheaper.
I’m so confused because we were ready to book, and now the price has basically doubled! 😭 Has anyone experienced this with Sunwing/this resort before?

I am so sorry to be the 6 billionth person to ask for recommendations in here but im so frazzled because I need to make a decision like yesterday, and I just feel like i dont have the time to adequately research between work/school/life.

looking to buy a gift for my dad's 70th birthday. his travel date would be the middle of next month?! (i understand im an asshat). for one old couple (sorry mom) looking for the ultimate R&R. preferably in mexico or the DR. the quality of the beach and the food are their 2 main priorities. they wont be leaving the resort. if i can keep it ~3k for 5/6 nights i'd be happy. pretty much looking for the swankiest place i can afford with my sad little budget. PLZ HELP!

Hello everyone!
I'm planning my first solo trip ever
the plan is to fly to Punta Cana on a Thursday and come back on Sun/Mon
I'd like to keep the budget under 2k
I've looked up some resorts(Riu and Secrets kinda stood out for their party culture and hook up scenes) but I'd love to hear about y'all experience and suggestions
I'm okay with non-all inclusive recommendations as well

Some adult fun like clubs and nightlife fun is something I'm looking forward to as well

Thanks in advance🤘🏻

Making a last minute switch from diving in the Baja to Dominican Republic because of the hurricane. We’re looking at the Secrets La Romana resort. We’ll be there early October. Wondering if anyone has experience diving from this resort and anything they would recommend/avoid.

Thanks!

Kinda stupid question but can i enter in coco bongo with hats? Some clubs dont allow it in my country
