So I want to book our HM in the next 2 weeks or so.  Right now we are set on P*nta Cana, for 5 days and 6 nights, at the majestic elegance hotel.  That package is under $3000 and I would like to stay under that for sure, no going over! 
Does anyone have any other hotels they would recomend more than the mejestic elegance and know from experience?  TIA!

    I would not recommend the Majestic based on the info my travel agent gave me when i booked my trip and also experience from a lot of friend....They have all said it was a horrible experience. Now i am staying at the iberostar Grand Bavaro in June and have heard great things about it...Also heard great things about Excellence Resort

    I've never been myself, but I have a coworker who raved about the Hard Rock resort down there.

    I've heard really great things about the Riu hotels and Iberostar in P*nta Cana.  I had a friend who stayed at the Riu last year, and she loved it.  Both of those are all inclusive.

    We stayed at Secrets Sanctuary Cap Cana which was AMAZING! We loved everything about it and can't wait to go back.

    My FH and I went to P*nta Cana last summer, and we stayed at the Excellence Resort. It was AMAZING. We loved everything about this hotel, the food, restaraunt selection, entertainment, staff, beach, things to do, drinks. Everything was top notch first class!...and that was just us on regular travel in a basic garden suite-which are extremely nice and romantic btw. We met lots of honey-mooners there and they were having a great time! Check it out, you won't be dissapointed :)
    My favorite trip ever, I loved the Dominican Republic, and I have been to pretty much every beach destination ;-)

    Oh, and as a friendly side-note, my best friend went to the Secrets Cap Cana for her ceremony/honeymoon this past November and she had the worst experience of her life. Although it's beautiful, the hotel fell under new management right before they went and it ruined they're entire trip. She has horror stories a plenty. You defnitely want to do "Adults Only" which knocks out Ibero and Riu prob :)

    Thank you! I know I priced out the Excellence and it was about $3400 but maybe I will splurge if it is really the great! (I've been going about $500 over budget on everything else anyway, lol).

    Hey there.  My fiance and I actually stayed at the Majestic Elegence in June and really liked it.  It was our first all inclusive experience, so I don't have anything to compare it too.  If you go there, I would definitely rec staying in the elegence section which is the adults only... you get first dibs on the nicer restaurants.  Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions about the resort!
