Impressive Premium Punta Cana

We booked a 2 week holiday at the impressive premium. Arrival/book in.. This was long winded and exhausting When we arrived there was only one person on reception and before us was a party of 14. There were no seats to sit on and it was extremely hot in the reception room. There was a bar there for refreshments but we just wanted to check in and go to our room. Eventually another receptionist arrived and after an hour we was booked in. The porters loaded our luggage on to the buggy and transported us to our room Room The room was large with two huge beds a sofa table and chairs. We had a balcony over looking the building site (didn't have them all time we was there ) the bathroom has duel sinks and the shower was huge it had a rainfall shower either end. Fresh white towels and complimentary toiletries. These are replaced as often as you wish just put them on the floor. The wardrobe was large and inside there was 2 dressing gowns and ironing board,iron umbrella and slippers. We had a coffee machine two good sized mugs tea bags creamer and sugar. Bottles of water are left as you cant drink their water. The mini bar held - beer sprite, coke and more water. The beds were very comfortable as were the pillows. These can be changed as often as you wish just leave the card on the bed and the housekeepers will change them. Our house keeper was Riberto he was lovely. Butler service Our butler was Jo he introduced himself and assisted us to upload the app for the hotel which was very useful. Jo was our go to when we needed anything he was able to get me a carton of milk he made our stay that little more special . Food We had a dining room beneath our room which we used for breakfast and lunch this also had a bar the food was lovely and a vast variety. For breakfast you could have smoked salmon cream cheese caviar or egg hash browns sausage toast. Plenty of coffee orange juice and water. Dinner We ate in the main buffet where the choice of food was vast and very tasty. Restaurants. We booked on the grill - had ribeye steak which was delicious.

Great entertainment and very tasty food. Italian Delicious Italian food spaghetti bolognese lasagna sea food risotto among many choices. Dessert was a melt on your tongue tiramisu fresh fruits. There are a few more restaurants but these were the ones we tried. Bar staff We drank at the beach bar during the day (The Maritin) the staff were so friendly and gave generous portions lol We drank up in the lobby as well the bar staff there were such fun- Freddie was on in the evening and kept us entertained. Bib bib was his favourite mantra when pouring your drinks. 1 drink equalled 3 British shots. Loads of different bar across the hotel and all staff were polite friendly and very hardworking. The beach Beautiful, sunbeds comfy and getting in and out of the water was easy. There was seaweed and after a storm lots of it but it was cleared quickly . You could hire canoes balance boards go fishing snorkeling jet skies etc were all available. Pools we had premium pool which had a swim up bar ad staff there wetea good laugh also had lifeguards on duty at each pool and on the beach. Beach sellers Was loads of them selling coconut drinks jewellery dresses painting cigars etc they didn't bother us once we said no thank you. Evening entertainment We sat through 2 evenings one was Micheal Jackson tribute the other was Queen both very good Coffee shop By the lobby bar and entertainment stage you will find the coffee bar. It has table and chairs where you can sit and enjoy yr coffee. Cappuccino latte mocha frames Shops There are 4 on site All sell beautiful trinkets but pricey. Tipping We tipped when we thought we'd had good service always left a tip after evening meal in the restaurants. We left our housekeepers a top at the end of the 2 weeks same with our butler. Take all you need as the prices for sun cream shampoo are extremely high. Crisps and chocolate also expensive $8 for a bag of Lays crisps Currency They take 💸 $ or Dominican pesos There is a ATM by the coffee shop.
