Vista Sol Punta Cana Beach Resort & Spa

Leda Berlind

So I'll start with the good. We stayed in the VIP area. Room was awesome, clean,housekeeping staff was great. Beach and our own beach bar was really nice. Landscaping throughout the resort was beautiful and well kept. Pools were beautiful and clean. Now to the bad,the food was just awful! The buffet had options,but everything was so salty,it was inedible. Salad selection was limited. There was a lot of fish in everything. If you don't like fish,it wasn't good. The restaurants were such a disappointment. It was the same lousy food,just served on a plate to you. We tried every restaurant, and they were all bad. I think this resort needs to get some real chefs in their kitchen. It was a shame,because everything else was great!

We stayed at Vista Sol Punta Cana Beach Resort & Spa in January 2026, and overall, our experience was mixed. The hotel has a great location with a beautiful, spacious beach and a large resort area. There are several swimming pools, although finding a chair was almost impossible because most loungers were “reserved” before breakfast, despite this being against the hotel’s own rules. Unfortunately, this rule was never enforced. The grounds are beautiful and full of wildlife. We especially enjoyed seeing colorful birds, peacocks, several turtles, and even a heron wandering around the property. It gave the resort a unique and relaxing atmosphere. The food was decent, and everyone can probably find something they like. However, once you discover the dishes you enjoy, you’ll likely end up eating the same meals for the rest of your vacation because there isn’t much variety beyond that. The beach itself is large and beautiful, but there was a significant seaweed problem. During our first few days, the pier seemed to help keep some of it away, but later the amount of seaweed became overwhelming. Unfortunately, the staff didn’t seem to make much effort to clean it regularly. Our biggest disappointment was the room we received on the first day. It was on the ground floor and was in terrible condition. The bathroom ceiling had a large hole, the room had clearly not been cleaned properly, there were mosquitoes everywhere, and we even found large cockroaches. It was a very unpleasant way to begin our vacation. Thankfully, after we spoke with the front desk, they moved us to a much cleaner room on a higher floor, which made the rest of our stay much more comfortable. One group that truly deserves recognition is the animation team. They organized a wide variety of fun activities throughout the day and created a wonderful atmosphere. One of our favorite experiences was the painting activity, where guests could create their own artwork. It ended up being one of the most meaningful souvenirs we brought home because we made it ourselves. Unfortunately, the customer service was one of the weakest parts of our stay. Many staff members seemed unfriendly, rarely smiled, often ignored guests, and sometimes made us feel like we were inconveniencing them rather than being welcomed. Overall, we left with mixed feelings. The resort has many strengths—a beautiful location, spacious grounds, great entertainment, and a lovely beach—but the poor service, the condition of our first room, and the seaweed issue significantly affected our experience. With better customer service and more attention to maintenance, this resort could be much better.

One of the rare hotels where you can see nature, too. Ducks, peacocks, and geese roam freely. Rooms are spacious and clean. Service is good. All-inclusive drinks are ok; the food is varied and very good. Theme nights are fantastic as well. The beach is great, with a lot of sunbeds. Some seaweed, but they clean it daily.

I had a BLAST!!! The staff was super friendly! S/o the amazing girl who salsa’d with me every night and gave me a hug every time she saw me! The bartenders taught me some Spanish. Rooms were always spotless, the bed was super hard that’s the only thing I didn’t like. Be careful with the excursions they are expensive on resort but the city is walking distance and you can find good prices. The restaurants were amazing! Do hibachi and gourmet. As a dancer I critiqued the shows every night, the dancers were entertaining and technical, I wanted to join in. We also lovedddd the food truck on the beach, drinks were great too. I honestly had an amazing time and would go back!

🌴☀️ This was our honeymoon, and this budget-friendly all-inclusive hotel is so good! To mention that even with language barrier the staff was so great! 1) Room Super clean room, comfy pillows, comfortable mattress, TV, and the best part — the AC! A lot of shelves, so the room felt very spacious! 2) Beach 🏝️😍 Even with a little sargassum, the staff were cleaning the beach, and it was still clean and so beautiful! Unlimited beach loungers, snack court, and unlimited towels. 3) “ALCOHOL” 🍹 Great variety of it, but in such hot weather there wasn’t a big wish to drink. The hotel has 4–5 bars, and each cocktail is really good! 😊 4) Pools In total, the hotel has 3 pools, and each of them is really good! 5) Food Here are pluses and minuses. The food was generally good, but mostly the same every day (however, there were always fresh fruits and veggies). In case you want something new, you can book a few different restaurants such as: Teppanyaki, Sushi, American BBQ, Mexican, and Italian. After visiting the Italian restaurant, we both got stomach poisoning, as the food was not good at all, so please be aware. 6) Activities Every day from around 10 AM, there are always activities throughout the whole day! Dancing, painting, foam party, beach party, coconut party — there is always an activity for everyone! 7) Shops Please ask to pay via their Pesos, as they tried to scam us for 20 CAD in the souvenir shop. Thankfully, we mentioned this within 5 minutes and went back, and with scratched teeth they cancelled the transaction and made a new, “correct” one. 8) Animals 😍 Peacocks, ducks, parrots 🦜, and even crabs are some of the animals you can see! Also, the fish in the ocean are so social that we were feeding them with bread from our hands! Extremely great experience! ‼️‼️DEAR VISTA SOL Team, please put the sign “do not feed ducks!” People are so dumb that they don’t know that because of bread they are choking and dying! Please feed only with seeds! ‼️‼️ Overall, I can say that for the first “all inclusive” in our life, me and my husband are so satisfied! We will come back again!
