This Is Why HARD ROCK is The #1 Most Popular Hotel in Punta Cana

[@mariogutierrez5185]

Been there 3 times and all 3 times we had a great time. Best beach I have seen in Punta Cana.

We spent our honeymoon here 8 years ago. Our room was spectacular, a corner room with a huge balcony and a hot tub. But what really bothered me about the resort was that there was no outdoor bar in the evening. I feel like we spent so much time indoors. Who wants to stay indoors in the Caribbean???

I’m here right now and it’s crazy how different the experiences can be depending on the timing. I happened to be here during spring break and this place is packed. The silent disco probably had 250 people and it was a crazy party. Eclipse terrace has had live music and a dance floor the first two nights I’ve been here. The room service burger really is the best. My favorite vacation ever so far. Love hard rock punta Cana!!!

My boyfriend and I went during week days in February, literally a week ago we were there, and it was peace and quiet until the weekend. Also- I cannot believe you liked that burger 😂 I swear it was the only item I ate at hard rock that I thought was bad

[@DaWorstBroadcastingNetwork]

I was there about 6 years ago. We had a great experience there. People that go to the Hard Rock are friendly and looking to have a good time. We met about 4 couples that we still keep in touch with them to this day. We were invited to a private food tasting with the beverage manager and enjoyed picking his brain about the resort. Top shelf booze 🍸and great night life. I Enjoyed your video Cheers 🍻

Are you going to do a tour/review of Cancun/Riviera Maya all-inclusives the way you did Punta Cana? I absolutely love your thorough reviews. My husband and I watched your videos with pen in hand, taking notes! We want a great beach and great food, that is not adults only, but it seems it is impossible to have it all. According to your research, the one that works out the best is Hard Rock. Would love to see this same thing for the Riviera Maya!

[@chrismiller9896]

If you do Riviera Maya, skip the Hard Rock, but PLEASE make it to Unico!

[@laurag1054]

@@chrismiller9896 I’ll look into it, thanks! Edit: it’s adults only and we have a teenager. Any other resorts that would fit the bill?

[@moebartlet9659]

Been to both HR Punta and HR Maya a couple of times with family. Maya is great and clean and easier to navigate. Excursions at Xcarat or Cozumel are fun. Service and food are a bit better at Maya. Punta is huge and you’ll spend a day getting around and have comfortable shoes. You’ll walk more than in Vegas. Has excellent excursions to Soana island and horseback riding. But, there’s really not much need to leave the resort. Beach is best I’ve ever been to. But, be careful of the undertow. Personally, think it’s better for the younger visitors. Both places are a bit tip heavy. But, I’ve no problem with it as both economies rely on tourism.

[@KassieP-sf6nz]

I am a travel agent. To be honest, in the Dominican Republic, you get more for your money, but I don't like the people there. I prefer Riviera Maya. It might be a little outdated, but everyone is so nice and welcoming.

[@johnnyv5995]

Was surprised to see kids, I had(wrongly) assumed that Hard Rock was 21+ ...so far because of the food & 'classiness' Secrets is still my favorite. Thank you for the videos & hard work, wishing you lots of good health & continued success - Happy New Year!

[@Coolist]

Hey Johnny - Hard Rock is that one place where you can have a great time, regardless of age. Anyone between the ages of 8 to 80 will have fun. Seeing kids at the swim up bar, and inside the lounges was strange to me however. Thanks for the kind words.

[@Karizzi1]

It’s all for the kids now. Just got back. They should rename it Baby rock. They are also having supply troubles according to the staff. Food isn’t the same at present. They are remodeling the rooms. They are nice but no longer have any hard rock flair to them. New rooms move jacuzzi out to the balcony and add a sofa bed, again caters to 2 adults, 2 kids. This change will work for many but not for me. I’m at a different stage in life. Also saw a water park being built on the edge of the property…more for the kids. Spent of my week waiting for the train/tram to get from place to place.

[@GrahamRiverProductio]

My wife and I just got back from HR Punta Cana and I completely agree with you. This was my second trip to this hotel and the second trip was even a better experience than the incredible time I had in 2018. The people, the location, the hotel, the spa . . . it was all amazing. We ordered room service a number of times and tried everything they had . . . everything was really good - was it 5 star? were there 45 things on the menu? No . . . BUT . . . when I'm hungry I'm looking for one item that hits the mark not 45 items. The variety was balanced and after the first time ordering we just said send us what you'd order . . . needless to say there was plenty of food. (order the soup) - trust me! It was the best soup I've probably ever had. Did it feel commercial? Maybe a little bit but as you mentioned in your rating there are lots of places to get away from the busy fun and get into a more relaxed level of fun without feeling lost in the giant resort. One think that wasn't mentioned was the tram . . . if you happen to get a room far from the main lobby they have trams that will take you around. No, this isn't the Disney monorail which has a set schedule . . . this is a resort tram/golf cart system that will take you to where you need to go on the resort loop. Overall I'd definitely go back yet again for a third time . . . but there are so many amazing places to go I'd probably talk with the HR travel planner and ask for another one that has a similar feel. While I'm not sold on HR Resorts alone, in my 30+ countries of travel I wasn't disappointed . . . but then again I'm pretty easy going and find the fun and joy in almost everything. Blessings fellas travelers. Cb

Happy Holidays Mr James and congrats on hitting 10k in subscribers …I am very glad to see that ..it is well deserved! I am not a huge fan of Hard Rock but they do as you say have a lot of energy . I definitely liked this resort and the room was really nice . The beach was gorgeous and so many pools to choose from. All of their properties are a tad pricey though . I do stay at the one at Universal Orlando as you get a free express pass for the park which is worth it but the hotel itself isn’t outstanding by any means . The comment that the kids pool is you’re kryptonite was hilarious by the way . Great video as always . Wishing you a very happy New Year 😎😎😎

AN-THO-NY! What’s up man? Thanks! Hard Rocks are definitely overpriced - I feel strongly about that. But you pay for the brand, experience, and usually prime locations, which this property was in.

Each of the “satellite” pools is different. Especially enjoy the different snacks offered at each. Big fan of the food at the Hard Rock. Is it gourmet? No. But for an all-inclusive it is well above average and you will never be underserved. Plenty of drinks to try and savor. The staff here is top notch. Grounds are outstanding.

I am so happy that you gave it a high 4 of a score, and yet you missed some crucial points of the Hard Rock......I happen to be a Legendary member at this hotel and go there at @4 times a year.....there is so much to see and do!!! You missed the following: Eden pool is an adults-only pool because women can go topless!!! Each building near the pools has a villa on the top floor, specifically buildings' 2 villa is where the celebrities stay. For those who enjoy golf, it has an incredible golf course. I am shocked you did not visit the lower floor where it has a beauty salon, a humongous spa, and a work of the art gym. After dinner, you can also enjoy the shows at the theater which is behind the casino. Hard Rock is on Bavaro beach which is the best beach in Punta Cana, while Secrets and the others are in a different region where the beach is rockier. @coolist you definitely need to return.

Punta Cana, the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic, abuts the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It's a region known for its 32km stretch of beaches and clear waters. The Bávaro area and Punta Cana combine to form what's known as La Costa del Coco, or the Coconut Coast, an area of lavish, all-inclusive resorts.
