Hard Rock Resort Punta Cana Review | April, 2022

We traveled to the Hard Rock Resort in Punta Cana in April 2022 for our family vacation. In this review, we talk about the good...and the not-so-good...of our week in the Dominican Republic!
My wife is a professional travel agent - and we are extraordinarily thankful for her experience in making this vacation so smooth (especially for the coordination of airport transfer and off-property excursions). I honestly don't know how people could navigate this without the experience of a travel agent. Feel free to check out my wife's Facebook page at / kathyhellertravel

Great Video! Excited to see what you make next! Maybe Disney ;)

[@lems18902]

Thanks for the idea!

We are staying at the resort now. I am not finding it as negative an experience. Yes, the food is not the best in the world, but we have had nothing but excellent service everywhere and no delayed service. Also, it is truly all-inclusive, including tipping. No one is tipping and no one is looking for tips. So, maybe the resort has changed in the past year.

THE CONTENT WE ALL NEEDED!!! GREAT VID CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO NEXT

[@lems18902]

More to come!

This has to be one of the most informative video, thank you for that. I'm rather surprised by the lack of service and food quality. We have two teens and was thinking of this resort as it seems like a great place. So after all the pros and cons, would you still recommend this resort? We haven't been travelling since pre-covid and was excited to make the trip. Either Caribbean or Disney, hmm?

Good review....thanks!

[@Brooklynyc918]

Thank you for sharing. What's the rule on COVID going and returning from D.R..

I recently saw a punta cana video where they said the dolphin experience was horribly cruel. They were kept in small cages and they didn't look good or healthy. I believe where they went was located at a facility off the coast, out in the ocean. Was this dolphin place on land?

[@lems18902]

This was on land. I thought it was odd. But I will say the pools they were in seem a LOT bigger than I have seen at most aquariums and other aquatic animal places. They were VERY big.

[@peterquartararo3249]

Gratuities are included!! I only bring cash for the bartenders.!!

[@phrewilly8556]

Great video! So sorry to hear that the food was only mediocre. Isn't there a casino there to?

[@lems18902]

There is a casino. We ran out of time to get to check it out though.

[@okiepat200]

The day I sit for over an hour and a half while watching others get served and say nothing, check me for a pulse cause I'm dead.

[@dominiquedamerjian5027]

Is the uncorked experience open there? we are going a week from today.

[@lems18902]

That is something we were not familiar with.

[@chudnisheree1605]

All inclusive?

[@lems18902]

It is an all-inclusive.

[@zacharywende1553]

I just give the guy a 20 and tell him to save the speech not interested in the time share any deals or upgraded ammenities at the resort he can provide. Better to cut to the chase than waste valuable vacation time.

[@platinumusaflorida2871]

Don’t waste your time and money

[@lems18902]

Ummmm…I suppose it is too late for that since we clearly were already there…

[@kakyone]

@@lems18902 Who pay you to said that?
