Now Onyx Punta Cana won the 2019 Noble Beach Prize for The Pool That Rules and the 2018 prize for the Most Bodacious Buffet!
Imagine this little vision: from your comfy lounger by the fab shimmering pool, aquamarine water that expands as far as you can see and the horizon just blends into this paradise. You're getting your tan on and your kids are being endlessly entertained in the Explorer's Club. Your massage is this afternoon, but until then, you'll just sip on your mojito and contemplate the endless blue sky. This is how we vacation in the Dominican Republic.

Worth it
Now Onyx was worth the money we paid for. The hotel was very clean and the facilities are very well kept. The room was comfortable but the bathroom situation was strange. The shower door is shared with the toilet and so if someone is using the bathroom and another person wants to shower they have no door and all the water comes out. There is a jacuzzi on every room’s balcony but most rooms are right next to each other so your neighbor can see you. In terms of the activities offered in the hotel they’re not that great. There’s an entertainment team that tries their best to keep people entertained with music and games along the pool but the hotel doesn’t have many amenities. If you are traveling with kids and expect them to be well entertained, this is not the place. I traveled with younger children and had them mostly in the pool or in the beach because there aren’t any games, parks, or pool facilities for them. There’s an explorers club for kids over the age of 3 but it’s a hot room with a few toys and they take them to the pool only once a day. The food at the hotel was average. The good thing is that there’s no reservation needed for most restaurants except for the Asian one. The buffet options for breakfast are excellent. Overall I would recommend this resort for someone looking to travel to a less crowded and smaller hotel. Everything is walking distance and easy to get to. I would go back though because they are expanding and I heard they’re building a water park for kids this November.
I was a little worried about some bad reviews I read. Once we got here tho, worry free!! Clean rooms, VERY friendly staff.
Couple suggestions:
1. SUNSCREEN-I was a bit nieve to assume my kiddo wouldn’t burn due to having Hispanic dark skin. WRONG! Blisters on the first day.
2. It rains for like 10 mins during the day. Bring plenty of OFF!!! The mosquitos are like little ninjas who will eat you alive & leave to to burn in the sun. Go back to #1. IF you forget either it’s $22 a bottle at the resort.
3. Carry small bills 1’s or 5’s to tip folks. Yes it’s inclusive & no it’s not mandatory BUT we tipped & received beyond excellent service at all spots.
4. If you go on excursions bring shoes w a good sole that you don’t mind getting dirty. Don’t be a fool like me trying to use pool shoes.
5. Ladies: Pack Light!! You don’t NEED 20 outfits. Multiple swimsuits unless you don’t mind getting back into a wet/cold one. I brought too much clothes, haven’t even removed them from the suitcase.
6. Get a waterproof case from amazon before you come, you won’t regret it and won’t have to spend $25 on one here.
7. ENJOY!!! Participate in activities, no one knows you here, have a great time!!
Below are the reasons not to visit this resort:
The rooms smell awful and are unbearable to stay in.
The restaurant selection in nonexistent. I got food poisoning the last night we were there.
There is nothing preferred about being a preferred member.
Overpriced
I stayed at Now Onyx for 4 nights (a quick vacation) and honestly it was worth it. Once I arrived at the resort, staff greeted my family and I with some clean, cold towels. There were bell boys to assist with baggage and check in and check out was fast. I personally didn’t buy the preferred club package however, that isn’t a major issue as at the resort they ask you if you would like to upgrade to preferred club but keep your room. I found it unnecessary to upgrade to preferred club as the resort surprisingly wasn’t packed with many people. All the staff were extremely nice and made my vacation amazing. At night there is a theater show and a party til 11:30. If you wish to still party, you can go to Breathless were parties end at 2 am. The entertainment team was great especially Candy Love and Cacao. Housekeeping comes in a couple of times to tidy up the room unless you hang the do not disturb sign. I also liked the jacuzzi feature in each room (part of patio or balcony). There are many pools and the beach was kept clean with a truck coming from time to time to collect the sea weed. The activities prepared on the beach and pools were fun as well. Overall my stay was pretty good and I recommend this resort.

Just got back, was told it opened in December. It was amazing but not heavy on entertainment options. Everything was complete except maybe some of the landscaping and fountains. It was beautiful and we loved it. Quiet.

What ocean is the resort located?5 answers
Is the beach private and how far can you walk on the beach?
3 years, 37 months ago
Chrys
The resort is located on the Atlantic side, not far from where the Caribbean and Atlantic meet. The beach is not private and is pretty expansive, meaning you can walk back and forth pretty far.
CCGreg
This reort is on the Atlantic ocean, NOT the Caribbean, so the water is not as clear and is much rougher. The beach is private and you can walk quite a ways in either direction between sister resorts (Dreams & Breathless)
BeachLover59
Great beaches, private but you can use all 3 resorts, there are some vendors but they do not harass you,

Some restaurants may be closed, this all depends on how much construction they are able to complete. They do try to have everything up and running by the opening date, but sometimes things can be thrown off schedule. So, unfortunately, some amenities may be unavailable.

No shuttle provided. You have to pay for transportation and since this resort is about 45 minutes from the airport, be prepared to spend $$.
BeachLover59
Yup! I called Cheapcarribean the week before our trip and they booked us a shuttle service, you can pick combined shuttle (with other resorts, which we picked and you might have to be on a bit longer) or private options too. They were right there waiting for us! VERY easy!

Music at Pools3 answers
Can anyone comment on if there is music playing at the pools? We hate to sit in silence. PLEASE be frank, we have been to many adult only resorts and the only time you hear music while at the main pool is during water aerobics or when entertainment staff desires it. This is a very important element for us in determining a resort.
2 years, 24 months ago
Julie
Now onyx isn't an adult only resort breathless is and there's always a party and music there and it's just a walk away.... as far as Now Onyx we always went to the preferred pool and they usually had something playing and if not we asked them to put something on and they did!
Travler01
There was no DJ, but you do hear something in the background.
N2teeth
Yes there is constant music playing at the pools from 11:00 AM and on. Do not go to this resort if you are looking for entertainemnt it's very boring after 6:00 PM.
