HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS HOTEL
VERY LARGE RESORT. VERY CLEAN WITH GREAT SERVICE. TRAVLED WITH 3 TEENAGER AND NEVER HEARD IM BORED. FOOD QUALITY AROUND A 6 OR 7. EVERY THING ELSE A 10,
Everything here was top notch. The employees were all so friendly and the service was great. The food and restaurant choices were the best of any all inclusive we've stayed at. The only place where none of us got sick. The only restaurant that wasn't up to par with the rest of them was The Isla. Food was mediocre and the lobster dinner a disappointment. Plenty of other restaurants to choose from, but would be nice to have a good seafood dinner at an ocean resort. Resort was very clean and they kept up on the bathrooms by the pools. Appreciated the fact that they weren't stingy with beach towels like some resorts are. Plenty of chairs at the pools and beach. Would recommend more umbrella's or cabana's though. Walked a long way down the beach past numerous other resorts and our beach was the cleanest and nicest that we saw. Appreciated the numerous lifeguards they provided for the beach, as there was a strong undercurrent at times that smaller children could have a problem with. Rated the room comfort as good instead of excellent due to having problems with the card key and a bathroom light. Other than that, the beds were very comfortable and the terrace was very large. Great showers.

Loved everything about the hotel, service, people ,food,Spa,etc
Did not like the beach -too rough to swim, not their fault of course.Pools ,however make up for that plenty,I am just an ocean person, I like to swim in the ocean.
Entertainment at night could be better.
Other than that, absolutely fabulous, great value , great people!
The best spa ! Better than Vegas hotels,better than Ritz Carlton!,better than Marriott!
Great Value for your money. Beautiful and clean resort. No problem getting chairs around the pool since there are 13 pools to choose from. Going back next year. Thanks Cheap Caribbean.

You get 1500 in credits that you can use at the spa, casino, and on outdoor excursions and activities which include horse back riding, four wheel adventure, snorkeling and more. Great Deal!

We had 2 rooms and used it all! You can use it for golf ($240am or $150 after 2pm). we did pm as it was not super hot and had a nice breeze. You can use $300 max. toward spa...that's (2) 50 min. massages. Make sure to do the hydrotherapy (mud, steam, ice, fun) after the massage; its included! "Rock the Boa"t is drinking, dancing and nice boat ride. Also can use for" Moonrocker" (covered golf cart you drive thru jungle).
Weused it for snorkel tour, horseback riding. They have a tour of the island with shopping (we did not do it). Any money you have left over you can use in a special shop that has t-shirts, jewelry, local art.

You will recieve the credit when you get there...will have to talk to separate people beside the checkin. Cannot book anything till ya get there. They have booking agents for it near the buffet restaurant. It can be used toward several excursions, the spa, romantic dinners. Expect to pay tax after April 1 on the credit that is used. If you dont use the credit, there is no extra cost. Either way ya look at it, you get to do stuff for almost free. Dont get upset over the tax, if you bought the service outright, you would pay tax. I was able to use all my credit toward a romantic lobster & champagne dinner, a chef jam session (like the Iron Chef), a massage & facial, a manicure/pedicure, a beach horseback ride, the waterball experience and an ATV ride. The credit cannot be used toward the casino (new policy). They do expect some sort of tip for all these services and try to sell you pictures. We gave tips as they deserved it. They are very friendly and do a great service. Did not buy any pics.
Caslyndo
It amounts to $300.00.
I used it in a spa , got a massage and and a facial
You can use it at the shop, there are some other options I was not interested in.
They have a description in a packet what else you can use it for.
mamadoma
You can use the credits for the spa (up to 300 per trip), some choices of excursions, golf, a Kodak photo session, a lobster dinner. The spa was the best I've been to. I scheduled 2 massages. Go at least half an hour before and they will take you thru a spa regimen before your massage. Used 700 credits for a lobster dinner, which was the biggest and only disappointment on the trip. Would recommend a Kodak photo session instead. I believe the program is listed on the Hard Rock's website. You can schedule to use the points as soon as you check in.

Hotel Description
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana: Spectacular Variety, Sensational Fun
Tired of the small time? Head to the new Hard Rock Hotel in Punta Cana, recently named a 2011 AAA Four Diamond hotel. As the first all inclusive Hard Rock Hotel in the world, this resort does everything big, offering 13 restaurants and snack bars, seven bars and 15 pools! From the kids' water slides to the Vegas-style casino, this is a monument to glitz, glamour and rock 'n' roll royalty.
Located on Macao Beach, the resort's palm tree and palapa-dotted shore sets the stage for living out your own music video. Fifteen pools are your playground: a lazy river and family pool with twisting water slides for the kids, Sax pool for quiet downtime and the adults-only Eden for topless sunning. Don't worry about getting too hungry: from filet mignon at Toro to a hibachi-style show at Zen, there's enough to try something new for every meal! After dinner, seven bars keep the afterparty going, especially at the cool nightclub, Oro.
Need to burn off calories? Grab the shades, drop the kids at the kids club, and head for Body Rock, the state-of-the-art fitness center. Too earth-bound? Reach for greater heights on the climbing wall, or just skip the exercise altogether and crack open the piggy bank because the 45,000-sq-ft, Vegas-style casino offers slots and table gaming. When you've had your fun, Rock Spa gets you ready for your close-up: relax in the hydrotherapy center, work out tension with a Shiatsu massage in any of the 35 private spa suites and end with a bracing, pore-closing experience in the ice room.
After you've partied and been pampered like a rock star, the Hard Rock Hotel Punta Cana helps you sleep like one, too. Even the poshest tour bus can't compete with the stylish, spacious suites that feature a Jacuzzi for two, 24-hour room service and a flashy liquor dispenser. We recommend the Caribbean Suite with two double beds for the family, but couples or singles won't go wrong with the Hard Rock Concierge Level Suite's killer views and upgraded amenities.
GOLF / SPA PACKAGE ROOMS: include one round of golf OR one select spa treatment per adult/per night. Golf / Spa package is interchangeable and can be used in any combination once per day (number of green fees and select spa treatments are based on number of nights booked). Rounds of golf include, beverages, snacks, and shared cart.
NOTE: Golf/Spa package is not included in child or junior rate. Children ages 13-17 must be booked as adults in order to receive the golf/spa package. Select spa services apply for children ages 13-17 but they do not have access to the Hydrotherapy area. An adult MUST accompany children ages 13-15 for the duration of the treatment.
