The Grand Reserve at Paradisus Palma Real - Punta Cana - Top Flight Family - Luxury Family Travel

[@maureenp7622]

Nice Video. This was a great resort before the pandemic. I booked and kinda regretted after watching resent videos and the reviews. They separated the resort and so many amenities were cut off. Now called Garden Suite and Falcon. Paradisus is a complete different resort now. Sharing only the beach with the other. No restaurant access at the beach for The old Reserve (Garden suites now) Glad it was so nice and fun during the time your family visited. Mario was the best!

BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!! 💜💕

[@dawnjohnson2218]

I love your girls! They're so cute and their personalities are adorable. Thanks so much for this video. We'll probably be at this resort next month. This helped me not be so nervous about a possible move from the Reserve.

[@tyronedowden3983]

Happy 20th Anniversary. God Bless and wishing you many more.

[@daryakrystal1447]

MMM loved that place... your video helped me decide to go there! Thanks!

[@TopFlightFamily]

Yay so happy to have helped!!

[@mannydeluca6485]

Beautiful family, seemed like the girls did not want to leave. They are so adorable.

[@coco-jj2ur]

This is such a good video!! I’m going this March break. I’ve already been to the reserve. This video is very useful

[@TopFlightFamily]

Yay that will be such fun! Thanks for watching!

[@jilly912]

Hi Top Flight Mama, I have be watching your videos as you travel the world. What an absolutely amazing opportunity to show your girls this wonderful world we love on. With that said and seeing your travel videos for the past 2 years and all these stunning resorts and beaches you stayed on, is the Grand Reserve punta cana truly a place to stay even though you wont have beach views every morning?? It has been years since I have traveled and think a beach view is important. However, after seeing this video and booking a 2 bedroom swim out did I make the right decision? Have you stayed at another resort in Punta Cana?? Please share all the details, I love how you and your family travel and remind me of my family. Cheers!!

[@MilysJourney]

Love your review.

[@nancolorado3417]

Hi glad I found your channel! How was the food overall? What restaurant did you prefer? Planning a vacay there next march.

[@TopFlightFamily]

Hey Nan, thanks for watching! There’s a lot of room for improvement when it comes to food at The Grand Reserve. But the good thing is as a guest of GR you get unlimited access to Paradisus and The Reserve, and we found the food on that side to be significantly better!

[@nostalgicboy102]

@@TopFlightFamily What airline did you take to Dominican republic

[@rachelray6204]

hey thanks for the video! do you remember which room you had exactly- the name of it?

[@TopFlightFamily]

I share all the details about the room in this blog post: topflightfamily.com/the-grand-reserve/

[@KiaBKB]

Going there for my first solo trip in May

[@LabChocolate]

hi!!!! do you recommend this hotel? im going there the next week. Is it fun for a 2 years baby?

[@TopFlightFamily]

Yes! The food could be better but everything else is great. The kids club staff is excellent and there’s a nice room just for infants and toddlers.

[@larasmith2645]

Hello, video is amazing! Glad you guys had a good fun. I have an question, as the guest of The Grand Reserve do i have access to The Reserve and Paradisus restaurants, beach and pool?

[@TopFlightFamily]

You sure do! One of the benefits of staying there!

[@daryakrystal1447]

Yes, you do, and there's this car that can drive you there with no extra charge.

[@steelpats422]

Hi. I am planning our family trip for summer and I am a little worry about resort being in the back of property. How far is from beach and how easy is to get a ride. Do you have to wait a long time ? Thanks and great video

[@TopFlightFamily]

Hey! We didn't find it to be a problem at all. It takes literally 3 minutes to ride in a golf cart from the front lobby to the beach. There are a lot of golf carts departing all the time, and sometime if your concierge happens to be near the lobby, he hops in and drives you personally.

[@mannydeluca6485]

Taking my 2 kids there in the first week of July but mine are 19 boy, 17 girl but I think they will enjoy it, they love pools and the beach and daddy love's the bars and cigar lounge lol!! I reserve the grand one cause of the use of all three resorts was a good idea. Do you recommend any excursions??? Great video!!

[@chitramoontarot]

All those extra things that the hotel did for when you arrived like the photo and deserts and the sweet dreams family.. how do I get that for when I visit? Did the hotel just do it or did you request it?

[@TopFlightFamily]

Hi Melissa no we didn’t request it but you could certainly ask!

[@zenmazter2000]

Hi Top Flight Fam, What is tipping etiquette at this resort? If you could recommend a best practice, I'd appreciate it.

[@TopFlightFamily]

Hey Jose, that’s a great question! Let me find out what the resort recommends and get back to you. 😀

[@TopFlightFamily]

Hi Jose, just wanted to get back to you about this. I spoke with the team at The Grand Reserve and they said "employee tips are actually already included within the rate, so though it’s not necessary it’s appreciated." So sounds like you can tip at your own discretion!

[@karengayle-whyte1358]

I need to go there

[@grayperetti1379]

Great video! We are traveling their next week so this will be very helpful. With all the safety concerns recently can you speak to how secure the resort is? Thanks in advance!

[@TopFlightFamily]

Hey so glad you enjoyed the video! I felt like the resort was well staffed with security. Seemed like at just about every dark corner there was a security guard posted. But that said, I’ve been reading some of the recent stories about attacks happening in DR resorts and it seems like some are perpetrated by resort staff themselves. (Though to be clear, none of these incidents have taken place at The Grand Reserve as far as I know) I think that no matter how safe the resort, in the current climate it may be safest to always walk in parties of two or more. You just never know!

[@pedrojimenez105]

Hey is the spa included or is it extra charge?

[@alnett22]

I need your help I believe you said somewhere in the video this hotel offers transportation to and from the airport in Punta Cana. Can you give me more information on that please?

[@annemarietlagoc1987]

Hi! Great video! We'll be heading there next week for a girl's trip! How was the nightly entertainment?

[@TopFlightFamily]

Hi Anne Marie, you’re going to have so much fun! The nightly entertainment was great. They switched it up every night so it was always different. Lots of live music, great DJs, and even cool performers like contortionists and trapeze artists!

[@annemarietlagoc1987]

Thanks so much! Beautiful family!

[@TopFlightFamily]

Thank you! Have an amazing time there!

[@ShakirisP]

Hi! How was the beach?

[@jenkeepsitrealestate9435]

How was the food here?

[@jenny2008123]

I’m going there January 19

[@TopFlightFamily]

Yay thats great! So excited for you!!

[@midwestman26]

Would you recommend staying here for our honeymoon in December?

[@TopFlightFamily]

Yes absolutely! We were there on a family vacation with our kids, but I saw plenty of couples who were having a great time. You can view my full write-up of the resort here: topflightfamily.com/the-grand-reserve/ Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

[@tcpadmin7656]

Hello Do you have to request concsierge? Or it comes with all inclusive?

[@TopFlightFamily]

Hey there! Every guest at The Grand Reserve is assigned a personal concierge. So it's included in your all-inclusive rate. Are you heading to this resort soon? 😀

[@franknavarro8878]

What is a mama juana ..me and my wife going there to that hotel in 2weeks got to try to impress with this drink lol

[@TopFlightFamily]

Hey Frank, thanks for watching! :) Mama Juana is the most popular local liquor in DR. From my googling, I've found that "It’s a concoction that’s made by combining rum, red wine and honey, and then allowing that mixture to soak with tree bark and herbs." It's got a slightly sweet taste. Not my favorite spirit in the world, but fun to drink when you're there. Hope you have a great time! Are you going to stay at The Grand Reserve?

[@sallyreign6733]

Please please be careful with those kids clubs on resorts. Please stay there with the girls. I stayed at the four seasons resort in Hawaii and one of the female workers bf was arrested for child trafficking and I was warned.

[@TopFlightFamily]

Thanks for letting us know!
