Hard Rock, Punta Cana, worth it?

so we are planning to go there for the weekend, is it really that good as they claim to be? i know they have a reputation to maintain that is why i dont have so many doubts but have any of you been there? what i must NOT miss and what should i avoid?

just want to make sure i get the best out of it :lick::lick::lick:

Yeah i agree in the cafes they are really pricy i go sometimes for the music in santo domingo because i love the hard rock style.

let's see how the resort goes we already paid for it and ready to go!! i sometimes let myself be fooled by the "if it is expensive must be good" kind of thinking! i hope is worth it.

Hard Rock, you decide

Hi there! So I?m back and this is what I think about Hard Rock, Puntacana.
The hotel is indeed HUGE and it can accommodate TONS of people, but the good thing is that there are so many places for you to be at ? drink, eat, relax, swim, take the sun?- that you will not feel that there are so many people; at night some places will be full (restaurants mostly) and you may have to wait little bit ; but they have MANY GOOD places to eat so you can just switch.

We didn?t have time to stop at all the places to eat but we did check all of them and there is food for all tastes; they have many good bars by the lobby with great drinks you can order about anything and they will prepare it nice, by the pool they do have the not tasty drinks ? just like most hotels in DR- but by the lobby is the place to drink!!

The casino is great!!!! ? of course because we won some $$$!!

Overall when you walk in to the lobby for check in and walk around the common areas before going to the rooms you will definitely feel like a rock start and in a 5 stars hotel!! After that you walk/ take the golf cars to the room, swimming pool, or beach the quality goes down. Here is how I will rate it:

Lobby / Reception / Restaurants, Bars/ : 5 Stars!! Service is great and there are many choices...
Rooms/ pools / Green areas / : 3 ? to 4 ( I have to say that the small bar in the room have many soft drinks beer, even a bottle of wine! That is why it?s a 4!!! :laugh: )

the lobby is TOTALLY different now, is more like a hard rock style, definetly a lot better and with a different enviroment. behind is almost same just some small changes.
