Haven't been yet but we are going to the Royalton Bavaria in in Punta Cana in January! Definitely looks like a great resort.

Went to Barcelo Bavarro Punta Cana on Boxing Day about 10 years ago. Loud, crowded and run down. Likely been renovated since. Beach was awesome otherwise a hard pass.
Avoid fishing excursions in that area unless you like being a cork in a washing machine.
Fished for 15 years off shore in Ucluelet, so I was not concerned at all, but this was another level of pain

I am in the Royalton in Cancun as I type this (waiting for my girlfriend to dry her hair so we can pop by the breakfast buffet). Beautiful resort. Surprisingly great food. Not a rowdy party resort either (regrettably in my case, as I’m still at that stage of life).

Just got back on Saturday from Grand Sunset Princess resort in Playa Del Carmen. About 45min from Cancun airport. It was a huge resort about 700 rooms. Nice resort the grounds were kept real nice, nice beach, nice pools, lots to do right on the resort, nice big theatre for evening shows. Nice cold drinks and for how big the resort was no huge line ups for drinks at the bars or at buffets.

We're big fans of the Excellence brand. Six years straight now, five at Excellence Riviera Cancun and once at Excellence Playa Mujeres (also in Cancun). This chain has two locations in the Dominican Republic, Punta Cana and El Carmen. We have looked into one of those options but keep going back to Riviera in Mexico. Mostly because flights are so much better to Cancun then they are to the Dominican Republic, where you have to take a red-eye out of Edmonton and then leave Toronto in the morning.
