  Rueben made our stay!

  Had a great time on our recent visit. Weather was lovely, beach and resort were beautiful - but the real star of our particular show was our sommelier, Rueben. We met him on our first night at The Steakhouse, and we became fast friends for the rest of our stay. He helped us arrange the most memorable dinners each and every night, and was always there to make sure we were taken care of.. even when our group sizes ballooned to 8, 10, 14+, everyone wanted to be part of our dinners!! Reuben, his boss Carlos, our favorite server Bienvenido (apologies again for making you miss your bus!) Made us feel so special, and treated us like VIP's... thank you so much for all the special attention, it meant the world to our group!

  Anniversary getaway

  The resort is absolutely beautiful. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave the staff are attentive and helpful. We took a taxi from Punta Cana Airport to the hotel, it was about 20 minutes with no traffic. The resort is gated and security is taken seriously. We were immediately met with a grand entrance and friendly welcoming staff. We were early for check in but the bellhops stored our bags safety while we started the check in process. The man at the counter was helpful, check in was a breeze, and we were allowed to check in early. We had VIP club member status that included a dedicated concierge to help us with anything we may need. Jacob was friendly and courteous. He has many other people he works with so we didn't ask for too much assistance. He did help us get reservations to a couple of the restaurants and answered any questions we had. He walked us to the room and told us a little about where everything was along with a map we were provided. We had a beautiful room in the adult section of the Majestic Colonial that had its own private pool and swim up bar. The bartenders were friendly, inviting, and make exceptional drinks. Try the Dirty Beer shot 🥃 you will not be disappointed!! We could see the beach and the location was perfect. The grounds are breathtakingly beautiful and well cared for. Lush tropical scenery. It is apparent that they put tons of attention to detail into the property. Many Taino statues throughout as well which was lovely to see. The room had a king bed, Jacuzzi tub and a balcony. Separate shower and toilet are. Although the toilet space was a bit awkward and small. The shower was huge and the water was perfect. The mini bar was well stocked. The only issue with the room was the balcony door that doesn't have a handle from the outside in. Other than that it was great! The pool: Cleaned and well cared for daily. Great for relaxing or having drinks to enjoy the beautiful Ambiance and weather of DR. Downside: pools close early, by 6 pm. It would be great if they stayed open a little later. If you go on an excursion you can't enjoy the pool area when you return. The Beach: Absolutely gorgeous!!!! I have read other reviews that people complain about seaweed, this is my take, it's a beach seaweed is normal. I am not sure what people are thinking when they complain about normal things. In any event the staff clean daily. The beach is large and their is a lot of seating, but it can be hard to get a seat/cabana bed later than 8-9 am. I did get confused with the separation of a couple of bars that were not for the Colonial Club, but staff were helpful. Yes there are vendors that sell stuff but if you have gone to any island or anywhere you need to know how to not get sucked into spending and spending more than you should. The Bars: we encountered great staff at every bar. Pretty much All staff spoke very good English despite DR being a Spanish speaking country ( we also speak fluent Spanish). They pay extra attention to details for tourist. The drinks were fantastic at every single bar. Hours of service for bars is after 10 am. The Ambiance and Entertainment: We arrived on Dominican night and there was some dancers putting on a show. It was a little disappointing that the show was not representing of the cultural music and dances that make DR so fantastic. We expected to hear bachata and merengue amongst other traditional music and were disappointed because it wasn't really played except for some random music here and there. Again, they do cater to tourist but it takes away from the experience of DR when you hear typical US music instead of the cultural music and dances. This was probably one of the biggest disappointments of the experience. If you don't show the culture the people will never understand the beauty. They do have different nightly shows which is nice. But again Dominican Night is only once in the week. We were hoping for more traditional cultural activities. The shows are held at the outdoor theater hall. There are two pool tables but the balls are all messed up and the sticks need to be replaced and there is no chalk. Hard to play pool like that so we gave up. There is a small casino, a sports bar we did not get to go too, and a pizza spot but we weren't sure if that was for our resort or not. There are three Majestic resorts. The nightclub is small and again in tune with disappointment, the music was lacking and the DJ refused to play and Bachata or Merengue despite it being requested. Some Bad Bunny, a couple reggaeton songs and the rest were older rap songs and pop. Not too fun...so we left. It was the few sections with music. YMCA, Macarena, and songs like that over and over. There isn't a whole lot of resort activities in the evening. Colonial Rd. Had vendors one night and it was nice, things are overpriced for sure and you have to know how to haggle. And don't let vendors give you anything for "free". This road has shops and other stores/pharmacy on it during the day as well. Excursions could be directly booked through the resort. We did the Adventure Buggie/Cenote/and Taino demonstration show. The entire experience was great. Yes, you see kids asking for money, but DR is not a begging country. There is poverty like anywhere else in some areas but the Island is doing well economically. The people and Culture are beautiful. Tourist are appreciated and mostly respected. The Food: was some of the best I have had on a resort. They had a huge variety of different foods and you can taste the organic flavor of fruits, veggies, and meats. Including the natural juice and coffee. They had some typical Dominican dishes which was nice to see, definitely try mango ( mashed plantains) as it is a delicious staple of the island. Dominican night offered a lot of typical Dominican cuisine. Food is served at certain times. Not too many snack options outside of those windows unless you go to one of the club lounges that have some snacks there. The Japanese restaurant was good and the steakhouse was also good but gets a wait in the evening. This building changes and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Splits...to a couple different restaurants at night There is a French restaurant we did not get to try. This and the Japanese place require evening attire. Over all we had a 9 out of 10 experience because of some of the things I mentioned mostly the lack of cultural representation. But the resort is absolutely worth it and we loved it so much. We cannot wait to be back and definitely will be back. Absolutely fantastic place in DR to visit! Thank you Majestic for the great experience. Traveled March 6th through March 10th.

  Amazing week in Punta Cana!

  I’ll begin with my only negative point about this resort, and that is the run down rooms that are in need of updating. The bathroom was dingy, badly plastered and painted and just plain old. That said we enjoyed the resort immensely. All staff members were kind, helpful and went out of their way. A few shout outs to Tommy, Fidel and Luz Mari. I’m so sorry I don’t recall everyone’s names but waiters, waitresses, cleaning staff, animators, bar tenders: all were exceptional. Restaurants were all good with options for all tastes. We enjoyed Dominican food everyday: grilled fish, rice and beans, plantain, local fruit were all delicious. The beach is exceptional: wide, white sand and clear water warm enough to swim in in March. The resort is beautifully manicured with lots of palm trees and exotic plants everywhere. The entertainment was exceptional as well. More merengue music please! The only thing that might prevent me from returning is that run down bathroom, I hope renovations are part of this resort’s plans soon!!

  Fantastic Resort, But Avoid During Spring Break

  Amazing food, drinks, service, and beach—truly a great resort. However, I strongly advise against visiting during spring break. Our family came to relax with our 2-year-old daughter, but we were repeatedly woken up by drunk college students knocking on doors and screaming at 3-4 AM because they couldn’t find their rooms. I'm confident that Majestic Colonial would have no trouble filling rooms without spring breakers, as it is an outstanding resort. Hopefully, management considers restricting this crowd during peak family travel seasons.

  Another A+ Vacation

  This was our 4th vacation at the Colonial and it was fantastic. The staff here are truly exceptional and make you feel right at home. David was our butler for the third time and he made sure all of our requests were looked after promptly. Stopped by to visit us daily to and spend some time talking with us. He has a newborn son so be sure to ask him to see pictures. We very much enjoyed Le Gourmet with Lepedio, Martina and Raphael. They treated us like family and couldn’t have been nicer. We had breakfast here most days and it is quiet and a good menu to select from. Pre and post dinner drinks at the lobby bar served by Christian or Welfri. Both top notch bartenders and when it was a big quiet they would help us with our Spanish. We spent most of our days at the pool on the adult side. Leandro and Minerva are incredibly friendly and make great drinks that go down far too easy. We found the beach buffet very good for lunch. Sit outside and enjoy the view. Steak house was good except for the ribs. Stick to the steak. If you get up in time the sunrise is spectacular. Great photo op.
