@@sialee5926 We booked Lopesan based on Jhon and Ari's outstanding review. My husband and I loved the property. We stayed in the Unique section, in their top level room category (Unique One Bedroom Suite Ocean). I made videos on my channel. See for yourself.
We leave on the 30th to the Lopesan I really appreciate all the time and effort that you put in to these reviews, Ill be honest we did book before seeing your vids but these vids really help calm your nerves, Thank you again you got a new subscriber
We loved Lopesan, great property make sure you check out everything down the boulevard, lo if your into shows make sur you check the app sometimes they move and its the only way to know where they ar going to be. All the food is good well seasoned and warm/hot and room service is pretty good as well.@@anonymousperson8211
Im so excited! We are going to book here soon once we figure out the weeks that work for us this winter. Thank you for all your reviews. I did read some place that the night show was not in its correct spot. Are all amenities working at this time, that you know of?
Yes all amenities were open and working. The night show is done in the theater (it wasn’t because of the pandemic but it is back in the theater) the theater is quite big!
If you stay on the adult only sode, do you have access to all of the resturants on the family side aswell, or only the ones on the adult only side? Is there any swim up wet bars in the pools? Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your review it has helped us a lot to plan our vacations. I have one question restaurants a la carte open for lunch or are just open for dinner?
Hello,great video,question,ive seen some reviews of a lot of boats in the beach area which inturn creates a gasoline smell as well.did u see or know about that?
There are waiters walking around the pool and taking drink orders but you can't order food. We didn't notice waiters on the beach area. There is a small buffet restaurant near the beach/pool where you can go grab a bite but you can't take food out of that area. I hope this helps Lyssa! :) -Ari
Hi! How was your experience with this resort! Did it meet your expectations? A few family members will be going in May, and the price is remarkably expensive for this resort.
Hola! No, the Lopesan doesn't have golf carts, however, we've seen mobility scooter rentals become very popular in large resorts, and they seem to be very comfortable and easy to navigate 🙂
That's tricky! The Lopesan is #1 in our rankings out of the 20 resorts we've been to, so you already experienced a great resort, and maybe it ruins others for you! 😋 BUT, please visit our rankings on our website: nittygrittytravelers.com/punta-cana-resort-rankings/ to see which resorts come near the Lopesan on the list. We have reviews on all of them on our channel 🙂
We didn't experience the Platinum section of the Grand Bavaro Princess or its Perks, so we can't comment on it; however, we had a great time as regular guests. That said, we also had a great time as regular guests at Lopesan. Right now, Lopesan is ranked number one on our list, and the Grand Bavaro Princess is number four. 🙂
Hello! Was there any difficulty getting a lounge chair at the beach or pool? I read in reviews that a lot of people wake up early to go down to reserve chairs for the day. Also, are there cabanas on the beach?
At the main pool, they might run out, and people tend to leave their towels on them pretty much all day, but the other pools always have some available. There are no cabanas on the beach, only chaise lounges 🙂
Beautiful and very informative video. I booked this after watching your video. Can you please tell what is the app name to book the ala carte restaurants ? will I get email to book ala carte restaurants even if I booked through expedia?
The "app" is a website you can access via a QR code once you arrive at the hotel. You can only book the restaurants on the same day, so you must be at the resort when you book. It doesn't matter what platform you used to book the hotel when it comes to reservations at the restaurants 😃
Hola! If you’re staying in the adults only section you’ll have access to all the family side as well, please note that the adults side is a small area, all the amenities such as the waterpark, gym, spa are shared with the main property.
Hi! You would have to arrange your airport transportation since we're not aware that they offer any free transportation. We recommend you book your excursions online for better pricing and more options to chose from. We sell excursions on our website here: nittygrittytravelers.com/puntacana - other than the obvious reason of making money if you book online with us, we STRONGLY recommend booking them online for a better experience and to avoid pushy salespeople.
Hola Ernesto! We loved both places, Lopesan is huge and has a lot of amenities and restaurants, which is great for longer stays, Margaritaville is smaller and more intimate, but if you're staying for more than 4 nights, you could probably get bored. Either place you stay, you'll probably have a great time because both resorts are amazing. Hope this helps 🙂
Hola! =) Seaweed comes to Punta Cana during the summer months, if you're coming between the months of November and April you'll probably won't find any seaweed. Hope this helps! =)
We just returned home. Lopesan exceeded our expectations. Thanks Jhon and Ari for the stellar review! You are our Go-To Advisors on Punta Cana Travel.
That makes us so happy to hear! That's what we set out to do when we started this channel 😃 Thanks for letting us know!
I hope this was an HONEST REVIEW

We just came back from one of the best holidays of our lives, thanks to you guys❤️ Lopesan is amazing and yes Unique is the way to go.
Our pleasure! Thank you for sharing your experience 😀
Unique is hella overrated
🔥 definitely my next stay will be the Lopesan.
Might be going from the uk in November next year for my 60th for 2 weeks I can’t wait 😍
Have fun! 🙂
We will be flying there tonight and staying at Lopesan thank you for this video on ideas on what to do there
Have fun!

Love this video! Could you please share which airport transfer company you used?
Look at Transekur and Servicios Turísticos Universal 🙂
@@NittyGrittyTravelers thank you!
Hello,great video,question,ive seen some reviews of a lot of boats in the beach area which inturn creates a gasoline smell as well.did u see or know about that?
I’ve been reading that the a/c is hit and miss here and some areas are uncomfortably hot inside the resort and the rooms. Any experience with that?
Not really, can't say it can't happen since we've experienced this in other resorts but it was not the case during our stay :)
Great detailed review. I can’t wait to go!!!!
Thanks for the lovely comment! 🤗
Great video! I’m thinking about this location for a destination wedding. How did you feel about not having a pool bar or pool service ?
We're not huge drinkers so a pool bar was not something we missed terribly. There were waitpeople taking drink orders around the pool, though 🙂
Is it safe to say that nothing has changed as of last year? Book with confidence?
I would go back without thinking twice about it 🙂
-Ari
This is amazing! I know were ill be staying next month
We loved our stay at the Lopesan Costa Bavaro, and after staying in over 17 resorts so far it's still our number one =)
We will be here in January... I'm sooo excited.
Is there servers around the pools and ocean? And can you order food around the pools?
There are waiters walking around the pool and taking drink orders but you can't order food. We didn't notice waiters on the beach area. There is a small buffet restaurant near the beach/pool where you can go grab a bite but you can't take food out of that area. I hope this helps Lyssa! :)

Thanks for the review! Question, are there golf carts or trolleys to get around the areas?
Hola! No, the Lopesan doesn't have golf carts, however, we've seen mobility scooter rentals become very popular in large resorts, and they seem to be very comfortable and easy to navigate 🙂
Hi guys! We spend a week in Lopesan last holidays and just love everything. Do you know 1 or 2 others resort who are in the same style and range ?
That's tricky!

Is the Adults area on the beach for adults or adults who booked adults only room? Adults only rooms seem far from the beach. Thank-you
I agree. I loved it there
I’m excited to be there, 29 days to go!!!
😀🍾
If we have to choose beetween Grand bavaro Princess platinium and the lopesan witch one is the best??
We didn't experience the Platinum section of the Grand Bavaro Princess or its Perks, so we can't comment on it; however, we had a great time as regular guests. That said, we also had a great time as regular guests at Lopesan. Right now, Lopesan is ranked number one on our list, and the Grand Bavaro Princess is number four. 🙂
Hello! How big is the casino? Thank you in advance
We haven't been to many casinos but we don't think of this one as BIG 🙂

How far must you walk to the coffee shops & restaurants?
Hola! =) Restaurants are near the lobby and pools, however, the coffee shop is located at the boulevard and is a long walk from the pools and lobby.
Beautiful and very informative video. I booked this after watching your video. Can you please tell what is the app name to book the ala carte restaurants ? will I get email to book ala carte restaurants even if I booked through expedia?

@@NittyGrittyTravelers Thank you so much.
I’ll be there in August
Have fun! 😃
How did it not make your top 10 list?
It did 🙂 tied in first place on our latest rankings
So the adults only side only gets us into the adult pool section? Can i still get into the disco and other adults activities with a regular room?
Hola! If you’re staying in the adults only section you’ll have access to all the family side as well, please note that the adults side is a small area, all the amenities such as the waterpark, gym, spa are shared with the main property.
Is there airport transfer to and from and can you book excursions at the hotel?

Are all the restaurants included in the price?
Yes! Except the restaurant "Mareas" (Mediterranean cuisine)
Is the ice cream and parlor and coffee shop included ? Also do they offer Dominican food
Yes, both are included in the hotel fare 🙂 and yes, they dominican food options for breakfast, lunch and dinner on the buffets.
@@NittyGrittyTravelers thank you.
Do they have a DJ by the pool playing music?
Yes, at sometime during the day a DJ plays music by the main pool (infinity pool) 🙂
Where would you stay as a couple, lopesan or margarita like?
Hola Ernesto! We loved both places, Lopesan is huge and has a lot of amenities and restaurants, which is great for longer stays, Margaritaville is smaller and more intimate, but if you're staying for more than 4 nights, you could probably get bored. Either place you stay, you'll probably have a great time because both resorts are amazing. Hope this helps 🙂
@@NittyGrittyTravelers thanks for always replying to us, if you need any new video shots of lopesan I’ll be pleased to help you !
Does this hotel have private transfer from and back to the airport?
You would need to book transportation on your own 🙂 We recommend "Transekur" or "Servicios Turisticos Universal"
@@NittyGrittyTravelersshuttles to and from the airport are done by the airlines
Are there night shows every night?
How much does the bowling cost?
Hi, Heather 🙂 we had that info written down somewhere but unfortunately we’ve misplaced it and can’t give you a number ☹️
what about sea weed in the beaches ???
Hola! =) Seaweed comes to Punta Cana during the summer months, if you're coming between the months of November and April you'll probably won't find any seaweed. Hope this helps! =)
Do you tip in us money ?
Ye, we do 🙂
Umm..we need to the the ADULT ONLY SECTION as well.
Not interested in the family/kids section
