    “Think of a tropical destination, that image in your head is actually real and it is located on the northern tip of Dominican Republic, between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Punta Cana is a sun-seeker’s dream come true; soft powdery beaches stretch along for miles giving the visitors the perfect setting for a relaxing day on a hammock or a sunbed.
    For those a little bit more active, as in most island destinations, waves here are one of the main attractions, perfect for body surfing and having a joyous time.
    Punta Cana, is a wonderful place to disconnect and rejoice with a perfect weather, a sweet cocktail, light clothes, a sun hat and the jolly mood of the locals. At night Downtown will be waiting with an upbeat atmosphere for those looking for an unforgettable party.
    The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Punta Cana is a rock legend come to life. Boasting fifteen pools, nine tantalizing dining options, the largest casino in Punta Cana, and all the rock and roll ambiance the Caribbean can handle.”
    - legendarymembers.com
    “The 1,775 room Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana is situated on pristine sugar white sands stretching 121-acres along Macao Beach in the Dominican Republic. Hard Rock's first all-inclusive hotel and casino exudes lavish five-star amenities and personal service to create the ultimate rock star getaway.

    James, thanks for the great and very insightful travel videos. I've been watching all of your Punta Cana videos in preparation for my upcoming vacation to the DR. I settled on the Hard Rock for our stay. Any recommendations for the 1st Dinner at the resort to start off the vacation?
    Any recommendations would be helpful. I wanted to go to one of the better restaurants to set a positive tone for the entire trip.

My husband and I watched your videos with pen in hand, taking notes! We want a great beach and great food, that is not adults only, but it seems it is impossible to have it all. According to your research, the one that works out the best is Hard Rock. Would love to see this same thing for the Riviera Maya!

      Been to both HR Punta and HR Maya a couple of times with family. Maya is great and clean and easier to navigate. Excursions at Xcarat or Cozumel are fun. Service and food are a bit better at Maya. Punta is huge and you’ll spend a day getting around and have comfortable shoes. You’ll walk more than in Vegas. Has excellent excursions to Soana island and horseback riding. But, there’s really not much need to leave the resort. Beach is best I’ve ever been to. But, be careful of the undertow. Personally, think it’s better for the younger visitors. Both places are a bit tip heavy. But, I’ve no problem with it as both economies rely on tourism.

Top shelf booze 🍸and great night life. I Enjoyed your video Cheers 🍻

    Happy Holidays Mr James and congrats on hitting 10k in subscribers …I am very glad to see that ..it is well deserved! I am not a huge fan of Hard Rock but they do as you say have a lot of energy . I definitely liked this resort and the room was really nice . The beach was gorgeous and so many pools to choose from. All of their properties are a tad pricey though . I do stay at the one at Universal Orlando as you get a free express pass for the park which is worth it but the hotel itself isn’t outstanding by any means . The comment that the kids pool is you’re kryptonite was hilarious by the way . Great video as always . Wishing you a very happy New Year 😎😎😎

The room service burger really is the best. My favorite vacation ever so far. Love hard rock punta Cana!!!

    I am so happy that you gave it a high 4 of a score, and yet you missed some crucial points of the Hard Rock......I happen to be a Legendary member at this hotel and go there at @4 times a year.....there is so much to see and do!!! You missed the following: Eden pool is an adults-only pool because women can go topless!!! Each building near the pools has a villa on the top floor, specifically buildings' 2 villa is where the celebrities stay. For those who enjoy golf, it has an incredible golf course. I am shocked you did not visit the lower floor where it has a beauty salon, a humongous spa, and a work of the art gym. After dinner, you can also enjoy the shows at the theater which is behind the casino. Hard Rock is on Bavaro beach which is the best beach in Punta Cana, while Secrets and the others are in a different region where the beach is rockier. @coolist you definitely need to return.

The last 3 times we were there the water was extremely rough and I like spending most of my time at the beach could barely go in the water was so rough. Also me and my wife like the casino at night and it has changed ownership and not nearly as fun anymore and no more free drinks either which is annoying. They also got rid of the pizza place which was very good so that was a bummer.

      It’s all for the kids now. Just got back. They should rename it Baby rock. They are also having supply troubles according to the staff. Food isn’t the same at present. They are remodeling the rooms. They are nice but no longer have any hard rock flair to them. New rooms move jacuzzi out to the balcony and add a sofa bed, again caters to 2 adults, 2 kids. This change will work for many but not for me. I’m at a different stage in life. Also saw a water park being built on the edge of the property…more for the kids.

      Hi Devin,
      I live in DR, the answer is yes.
      You do have to wear a mask when you're in places where you'd normally have contact with other people/staff such as the lobby, buffets (when getting the food), etc.
      The country is really safe in these tourist places (we make sure of that), therefore you should have no issue on your way to the hotel.
      You're more than welcome to DR. ;)

    My wife and I just got back from HR Punta Cana and I completely agree with you. This was my second trip to this hotel and the second trip was even a better experience than the incredible time I had in 2018. The people, the location, the hotel, the spa . . . it was all amazing. We ordered room service a number of times and tried everything they had . . . everything was really good - was it 5 star? were there 45 things on the menu? No . . . BUT . . . when I'm hungry I'm looking for one item that hits the mark not 45 items. The variety was balanced and after the first time ordering we just said send us what you'd order . . . needless to say there was plenty of food. (order the soup) - trust me! It was the best soup I've probably ever had. Did it feel commercial? Maybe a little bit but as you mentioned in your rating there are lots of places to get away from the busy fun and get into a more relaxed level of fun without feeling lost in the giant resort. One think that wasn't mentioned was the tram . . . if you happen to get a room far from the main lobby they have trams that will take you around. No, this isn't the Disney monorail which has a set schedule . . . this is a resort tram/golf cart system that will take you to where you need to go on the resort loop. Overall I'd definitely go back yet again for a third time . . . but there are so many amazing places to go I'd probably talk with the HR travel planner and ask for another one that has a similar feel. While I'm not sold on HR Resorts alone, in my 30+ countries of travel I wasn't disappointed . . . but then again I'm pretty easy going and find the fun and joy in almost everything. Blessings fellas travelers. Cb

    I'm here now and this is by far the most overrated, overpriced all inclusive resort I've ever been to - and I've been to Turks and Caicos, Aruba, Mexico, D.R. and Jamaica. Reservations required for every restaurant, awful chardonnay as the only house wine option, and the food truck and restaurant menus are never as described. Hands down, worst resort ever - and I'm a VIP member. The room service consists of dry chicken tenders, dry hot dog, and fries. This place is gross - especially for the price.

    1. I'm from America, are most people (servers) able to speak English fluently, or do I need to hit a Spanish crash course before I go?😂
    2. Reservations: Do all of the restaurants need reservations, or are most of them able to just walk in and be seated fairly quickly(right away - 10ish minute wait)
    Sidenote with restaurants: What is the best steak restaurant, and the best sushi restaurant ?
    3. Since it is all-inclusive how do tips work bc with it being all-inclusive I imagine there isn't a bill of a breakdown to see what 15-20% would be for a tip
    4. What are the best drinks called that don't have a super alcohol taste but still get you drunk as shit😂

Your review I know beyond a shadow of doubt that it's a place I never want to visit it looks boring as hell..and even more heard the prices are outrageous your paying for the name otherwise the place sucks no frills no extras very little social anything at pools and rooms are passable but mediocre at best as well the menu anyway big pass I'm Grateful for your tour because usually everything hard rock is said to be over the top till you get there?far far overrated hope you get a chance to visit a good rock on place next time with all inclusive everything like spa massages premium drinks not watered down and 24 hour everything be well thank you again 😢

      Hey Andy. I definitely saw that and I still don't know how I feel about it. Of course I'm elated to see a new property on the strip, especially a hard rock location (the previous location had a legendary run), but conversely, the strip just won't feel the same to me without the mirage, a Vegas icon and a property that I hold in very high esteem.
      I ardently try not to get fixated on sub count, because doing so can get obsessive, and create a lot of stress. Truly, I try to make the best content possible, because I know that will ultimately attract views and subs. This year I went from 500 to 10,000, so 20x again Would Great. 😁
