    I stayed at the Majestic Mirage for 6 nights I had a great experience. My butler his name was Elvis he was always checking on us and we were able to reach him via what’s app for whatever we needed. The day we arrived he escorted us while giving us a tour. Once in our room he gave us the pillow menu and asked for our dinner reservations which also took care of. In reference to the language issue we have to realize that we are traveling to a Spanish speaking country. Some of the employees may speak English but many of them won’t. In America English is the national language it is wrong for us to expect the same when we make a decision to travel out of the country. I hate that was your experience fortunately, it was not mine. I have plans to stay there again this time at the Majestic Elegance three weeks from now. I am looking forward to my trip.

      I am just giving my honest review and I actually really enjoyed Majestic. I plan on going back and I do recommend it to clients. I just think it’s good to know all aspects of a resort because it’s not always perfect and I don’t like to set people up for disappointment. In the event they have similar experiences. Totally love the place and it is absolutely beautiful.

    I won't take one person's review as the gospel truth. There is a reason Trip Advisor rates the Mirage as the number one resort in Punta Cana and why there are almost 7,000 google reviews with an average of 4.7 out of 5. I am not changing my plans. I will be there in May.

    I was at the property for a week in February 2022 and have to say I didn’t experience any of the things you’ve mentioned. Our butler was amazing and promptly made our dinner reservations within 30 minutes of asking. Most all the staff, especially those in the restaurants, bar and front desk spoke great English. I was not a fan of their red wine but it was never cold. We thought the burgers were amazing and they were cooked. If not we wouldn’t have eaten them. Not sure if you just had bad luck but I highly recommend the Majestic Elegance and can’t wait to return again soon.

    I went here late April and had the same exact experience with the “butler” and making reservations. Guy was totally MIA the whole time when we reached out. Other people raved about their butler but I felt like ours was terrible. We asked for a reservation at the Japanese place and he legit forgot until day 3 then told us he couldn’t get us in before 9. We had kids with us so obviously wouldn’t work for us. Between that and French being adults only we missed out on two restaurants :(

    Thanks for the video. We were hoping to stay here next October. I was under the influence that this resort didn't need reservations for the restaurants! Really nit a fan of that! Also, the vendors are not something I appreciate! Nit a fan of seaweed, either. There will be 8 of us traveling, so may have to change our minds on the resort! May need to loom at Dreans, since we have 1 kid under 18. Suggestions??

      Stay at the mirage. It is rated number one in the Dominican republic by Trip Advisor for a reason. Take a travel agent's review with a grain of salt. You definitely will not find a nicer or bigger room anywhere.

There are so many other beautiful places to vacation that don't have near the amount of bad experiences. I can deal with some things, but the scamming, bad food, and language barrier are things I can't tolerate. Thanks for sharing your experiences!!

    The animals profiteers should definitely be stopped. Please contact your local Mo key sanctuary and other animal sanctuaries…

    I'm so confused. So you went to a country whose main language is NOT English, but expected them to cater to you instead of maybe learning some of their language?

    • @jaimekey113
      @jaimekey113 2 месяца назад

      That is one of the things that makes the Caribbean appealing for US and UK travelers. They promote the fact that they are fluent in English at the resorts and you don’t need to learn their language. If she was off resort I could understand your comment, but she’s complaining that so many of the resort staff doesn’t speak the language they’ve portrayed they were fluent in! That’s one of the main reasons I book all inclusive in the Caribbean. I’ve never had a staff member at any of the resorts I’ve stayed in that did not speak English fluently. 😊

      It actually is. Punta Cana, the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic, abuts the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
