There is SO much to do at this mega-resort! So many restaurant varieties to choose from - our favourite was Zen. Lot's of activities - laser tag, escape rooms, shopping, pools, nightlife at ORO. You'll wish you stayed longer! How can I leave out, free Guitar rentals to your room! How cool is that!?

Great video you guys! So well done!! We were there in October 2021 and unfortunately the ocean was rough the entire week. But awesome job!
Thanks hun! It was very rough for us too sadly! But it was so nice at the Bahia Principe just down the beach a few resorts 🤷🏼♀️ so did you love the hard rock as much as we did?

Amazing! Hope you have the best time. Thank you so much for the kind words
I went here a year ago today and I miss it so much! Definitely the best resort I’ve been to
We agree! It’s such an amazing place 😍

You’re welcome! Glad we could help! Enjoy and congratulations 🎉
Also, share it with your friends ! ✌🏻
I shot a wedding there on Valentine’s Day. I had an incredible time and the staff was incredibly helpful…..congratulations on your wedding
Hello Carol
Talk about in depth...thank you!
Thanks for watching!
We just booked for May. Just by viewing this video we are so excited !! That beach is beautiful. I suffer from a severe peanut allergy, I will notify guest relations as soon as I arrive on how to navigate this. Did the restaurants offer any information about allergies on their menu? Thanks!
We are so glad we could help you with your vacation planning! ☺️ So sorry, we don’t recall if they mentioned food allergies on the menus. The waiters do ask you if you have any food allergies as soon as you are seated. I’m sure they will be very accommodating, as good allergies are quite common.
Great video! This is so helpful as we're looking at Legendary Punta Cana or Los Cabos. As of now this Hard Rock resort looks like a winner 😁 Thanks!
Are there any attractions offering or day trips for outside the resort?
Yea, there a lots of excursions - from wildlife, to adventure, to shows! There’s even a cirque du soleil in Punta Cana! The resort also often has concerts onsite!
Los Cabos
Hello Christina
great video. thanks...
Thanks for watching!
HI thank you so much for making this! Definitely gave me a good idea of the vibes for each pool. You mention a portal for booking restaurants. Where do you access the portal? I'll be going in July and wanted to see about making reservations now.
You can get on the portal once you get there via scanning their QR code. Unfortunately, you cannot book restaurant reservations until you have your room assigned after checkin - we learned this the hard way 🤷🏼♀️
Subscribed with post notifications!
Thanks so much! 😊🙌🏻
I shot a wedding there in February. I absolutely recommend this resort.
Isn’t it amazing?! 😍😍
@@WherewegoingNext it absolutely is. I can’t wait to go back with my family.
I think the first pic of the artist with the guitar was Chuck Berry...a couple of his big hits are "Johnny B Goode" and "Rock and Roll Music"
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!!!
😊
One of the best.HRC Dom Rep.
Agreed!! Definitely one of the best 🌟
This video couldn’t have come out at a better time - my boyfriend and I just booked our trip today!! Thank you so much for the extensive tour, it made visualizing the resort so much easier. What was your experience like making reservations at the restaurants?
Glad we could help!!
We found a lot of the popular restaurants were booked on their portal, but there was always something available. We spoke to some other guests and they booked their dinners at the concierge desk and got all the restaurants they were looking for 🤷🏼♀️ we recommend booking at concierge right after you check in. You can’t go wrong with any restaurant though, their food is top notch 👌🏻
Went in February not worth the money
Oh sorry to hear that!
@@brendanboswell9131 for what reasons? guess it depends on what/you are looking for. We know of many people that have been and have nothing but rave reviews about this place.
@@brendanboswell9131 thats what I thought even just by watching at this video. And most areas a dark too. Booking Secrets instead.
Fantastic video!
Few questions,
Was there free transportation services provided from the airport or is that something that has to be booked ahead of time? Was the Covid testing process a nightmare/organized? Was the coffee shop and some of the smaller food places like the ice cream shop included in the all inclusive? Lol and lastly what would you say are the cons of the hotel because you’ve done such a good job with the pros! Looking to book this in a few days!!
Thanks for the feedback!
You need to book transportation ahead of time, or get a taxi to the hotel (most vacation packages include transportation, so check to make sure).
The testing was not bad. Ask at reception about how to book your time and pay for the test (I think it was $30 or $35 USD). I went to my appointment a bit early, was told to fill out a form online to get my results, and got called in really quickly 👍🏻
Yes, the coffee shop and ice cream shop are included! I think pretty much all food is included except for this culinary experience they advertise for $150. 👍🏻
The only con I can see some people would find is the size of the resort. Everything is very spaced out, so it can take quite a while to get around. There are trollies that will take you around and u can rent a golf cart to get around for extra $$.
Thanks again for watching out video!
Nothing is free anymore😅 Every resort that you booked anywhere in DR, Punta Cana, Mexico. - you always pay for transport.
Not true - u can book a vacation package through Expedia for example, that includes transportation
@@WherewegoingNext its not free. It added into your hotel charges one way or the other and they make it look like its free. We tried comparing the prices from another travel site and at the end $35 added from the original price of course. Lol
I travel alot so, I know the tricks!
👏🏻👏🏻
Very informative video. Thank you . Do they provided Covid Testing on premises?
Yes they do! You’re welcome!
Hello Barbara
Great video! would you say the majority of drinking and food experiences were in the all inclusive package or add ons?
Yes, they definitely were mostly included! The ones not included were clearly marked- it was just a few special experiences that you would have to pay for if you wanted.
@@WherewegoingNext Thank you! just booked for Feb 2023!
That’s great to hear! You will have a great time! ☺️
Hi! Are the offerings such as laser tag, escape room, VR games, mini golf or henna studio included or for an extra price?
Those are extra charge.
Hi how’s the weather there end of October early November? Thank you for the tour
It is generally quite warm, but hit or miss because Oct/Nov is the beginning of hurricane season.
Hello Debra
Do you know when the Rockaway bay water park is opening at Hardrock Punta Cana? Did you see any progress in the construction of the water park?
We heard it was supposed to open summer 2022, but don’t know for sure. You can join the Facebook group for the Hard Rock Punta Cana to stay up to date on all the news. It was behind construction scrim when we were there, so we couldn’t see much. 🤷🏼♀️
What is the best type of room? And location? We are thinking to go with kids. Was thinking of something close to the pools and restaurants, since you say there’s the downside of it being super big. Thank you!
There are rooms in buildings 7A and 8A close to the kids water park and splash pad. Also there is a restaurant (Ipanema) there too. If you wanted to get back to the main lobby, it is a bit of a far walk, but there are resort shuttles that can get you there in no time.
Great video. Is there a charge for bikes and lazy river?
Thank you! Both the lazy river and bike rentals were free when we were there in March, 2022!
@@WherewegoingNext Thank you! Did you find it tough to make dinner reservations? Is there a way to make the dinner reservations before arrival?
It might get tough to get the reservations you want based on how busy the hotel is… they have an online “portal” that you make you reservations through, or they have a concierge that you can sit down with a book through. We heard that the concierge had more availability than what was on the portal, but not sure 🤷🏼♀️ no, you cannot make the bookings before you get checked in to your room.
Beautiful massive hotel but it looked so deserted perhaps because it's super expensive! 😞
This was also during Covid times where capacities were very low. Also, the resort is so massive that even with more people, you won’t feel crowded.
I’m traveling here next month! Random question, did any restaurant or food truck have buffalo wings? Lol I looked at all the menus and I didn’t see any 😅😢😂
No, I don’t think so - but menus change all the time, so maybe you’ll find some 🤞🏻
So safe to say the flags in front are the ones investing in these projects
Could be 🤔
How did you find the casino? Was it just slots/machines or were there card games you could join? I am looking for an all inclusive vacation for avid card players but where they can enjoy the beach atmosphere also. Or if not at this resort, do you have any other ones to suggest?
Yes there are card games at the casino! It’s not a super huge casino, but it has a good mix of different games and even a high rollers lounge lol! Another amazing resort with a casino is Atlantis Bahamas. We have a tour of that resort right here: ruclips.net/video/GsumPEzkKfY/видео.html
Hello Amy
It looks to be very not crowded while you were there. What month were you there?
We went in March, 2022 - which was still during the pandemic so that’s why it was so empty.
Are all of the food places (restaurants, ice cream bar, sandwich and pastries) included in the all inclusive package? Thanks
Yes they are! You will see the experiences that are extra charge being advertised throughout the resort, otherwise everything is included 👍🏻
@@WherewegoingNext Amazing, thank you. Booking in the morning
That’s exciting! Have a great trip!
Really appreciate your videos! My son and I are going to be taking our first trip together and trying to decide between Atlantis Bahamas and Hard Rock Punta Cana. Our main bucket list item is the beach and next would be food. If you had to pick between the two places with those in mind, which would you suggest? Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
It’s a tough call because they are so different. First of all, Atlantis is not all-inclusive so the food will definitely add up during your stay. Atlantis will probably have a few better restaurants, but again will be very pricy. The main thing that Atlantis has going for it is the beach- which is gorgeous. HRH Punta Cana on the other hand has a very hit or miss beach - when we went in October, the waves were too big making the ocean un-swimmable. The beach is pretty to look at, but that’s about it. The food at HRH Punta Cana is pretty good as well.
If you’re looking for a great beach, check out the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya. It has beautiful little beach inlets, great pools, food and entertainment 👌🏻 we have videos on that resort as well on our channel 👍🏻
Did you need to take a covid test of usd 150 at arrival at the hotel? On expedia its stated that this is obligatory by the hotel? I don’t know if its old information.
I would assume that is old information 🤷🏼♀️ there are no testing requirements for entering Dominican, you just have to check with the country you are returning to to see what the testing requirements are. For example, for us in Canada we had to do an antigen test one day before our return flight (we are vaccinated) and it was around $30-$35 USD.
@@WherewegoingNext Thank you very much for your information
Hello
Hey! Great video!! Are you aware of a security deposit? I’ve read something stating $100/per person, is this true? What was your experience? Thanks for posting!!
We don’t remember having to make one at this hotel 🤔 but we have at another hotel in Mexico 🤷🏼♀️
@@WherewegoingNext thanks for responding! I’ve already paid for our stay so I assume when we check in we don’t have to do anything else expect show the card I paid with? Definitely subscribing, thanks again!! 🤠
Yes I would assume the same. Thanks! 😊
How did you find the Wi-Fi at the resort?
It was a bit dodgy the closer you got to the beach.. but not bad. It worked well in our room and in the lobby and restaurants. 👍🏻
Are there tennis courts
Yes there are. They are near the water park.
@@WherewegoingNext Thanks!
@@WherewegoingNext Do they provide tennis rackets. Also, how many slides are there and where
I believe you can rent out the tennis equipment 👍🏻 not sure how many slides are at the water park 🤔
@@WherewegoingNext Is the VR and laser tag free, or is there a package deal or to get the VR and laser tag free
Very dark in almost every areas. I can get killed and none would noticed me. Lol
🤷🏼♀️
Hi guys, i want to know something ,the hotel stell giving 2 covid test free to the members for room ?
Yes, if you stay longer than 4 days I believe 👍🏻
@@WherewegoingNext thanks a lot for your help, i hope the new water park w'll open on june .
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Went here last summer for vacation for one week. We weren't really impressed. (We have gone to many Hard Rock resorts such as Cancun, Riviera Maya, and Cabo, so we have some experience with these resorts.) This resort is wayyyy to big, too much walking, and the rooms weren't the cleanest. Walking from your room to the pool definitely gets annoying after a couple of days as it could take almost 5 minutes. Although, I did enjoy the beach as the waves were insane, there was so much algae in the water and washed up on the sand that people had to come and put them all in big bags. The casino did look nice. I am going to Riviera Maya for a highschool senior spring break trip and I'm beyond excited. Riviera Maya is the perfect size in my opinion. Just wanted to share my thoughts. We definitely wouldn't go here again as Riviera Maya or Cabo were perfect sizes.
We didn’t mind the size 🤷🏼♀️ it depends what you like
Is the VR and laser tag free
There are a few things at the hotel that is not part of the all inclusive package. VR and Laser tag are not included.
@@WherewegoingNext is there like a package to get them free
Not that we know of. 🤷🏼♀️ you just pay when you want to play
Do you have restaurant tour for this?
No, we didn’t. The food offerings are a bit hard to capture bc there are a lot of different restaurants around the resort, plus a market style restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 🤷🏼♀️ we didn’t have enough time at the resort to film all of the food offerings 🤷🏼♀️
what happened to the purple chairs and purple pool table
Not sure 🤷🏼♀️
@@WherewegoingNext I seen on Steve Harvey show few years go a couple were sent here and it had purple pool table with purple chairs
Not sure, we didn’t see any this time 🤷🏼♀️
Why theres no people? What time it was?
It was still during the pandemic, in March 2022 🤷🏼♀️ plus, the resort is huge so it won’t feel crowded 👍🏻
Do they have bicycles available to use?
Yes 👍🏻
It;s like booking your holiday in a mall!!! What a joke! Thanks for the previews I won't be staying here!
Not for everyone I guess 🤷🏼♀️
@@WherewegoingNext You guessed right!
👍🏻👍🏻
Just got home from the hard rick last Saturday...I echo your comment. The resort is beautiful, the beach is by far the best I've seen, the food was terrific rooms were huge. However after night 2, I said the same thing you did about feeling like I was at our local mall shopping...Zero night life other than the theater...Smaller resorts are so much better for outside bar experience, and just walking around, but the rest of the pros are hard not to want to visit again!!!!
dominican
👍🏻
And the park of water ??? Tham
Yeah they have one 👍🏻
How do I get discount to book here?
Not sure 🤷🏼♀️
You could try the website for latest offers from Hard Rock directly
Ola tem que reservar os restantes
Yes, some of the restaurants require reservations
@@WherewegoingNext obrigada
We prefer a smoke free environment, does the scent of cigarette smoke hang in the air?
We didn’t notice any cigarette smoke 🤷🏼♀️
@@WherewegoingNext Thanks!
Go to The Vatican
1 things been putting me off dominican is alot of people saying about agressive vendors on the beaches?
We didn’t see any vendors on the beach at the Hard Rock! Even at the Bahia Principe a few hotels down, there were just a few people asking if you wanted to do water sports but I think the only asked us a few times. They were not aggressive at all and a polite “no” does the trick 👍🏻
@@WherewegoingNext thankyou, which bahia principe did you stay? I think theres a few different ones
We stayed at Fantasia (great for kids) but we recommend Ambar for adults. It’s amazing!! The hotel tour will be coming out soon!
@@WherewegoingNext thanks very much, still torn between dominican, mexico cuba or jamaica, picking a vacation aint easy 🤣
Yea it is tough! So many great places!! Our favourite go to destination is Mexico! We find the service, food and beach are all excellent! Good luck with your decision 😊
Anyone else getting a Jacob Collins vibe here? I feel like if I heard an, "ah f*** sorry boys, I f****d up", maybe a,"bam" or even called out to someone named Julian or Trevor then we'd know for sure. Possibly another better educated and not screw up brother. Anyway, no disrespect intended but if this is Jacob, then my condolences about Philadelphia Collins. Hope hes grilling dirty burgers in heaven.
Not sure who you’re talking about 🤷🏼♀️
