The ONLY change I wish HRHC Punta Cana would make is designate an area of the resort as 'Adult-only'. Javier, the bartender at the central pool bar, was serving up the most delicious caipirinhas outside of Rio de Janeiro. We met so many beautiful people from all over, including a lovely couple from Mexico. I feel this really helped elevate my experience, as the server would prioritize my tables or drinks. I did notice a lot of people did not tip, which I took advantage of and tipped quite well at both the pool bars and the restaurants. From the animation staff, to the servers - everyone makes you feel so welcomed and appreciated. However, I can say the entertainment at Hard Rock is non-stop and world-class. It is a family oriented resort, so for those looking for a more restful resort experience, this may not be the most ideal.
The grounds are massive and well kept with plenty (I mean plenty) to do. The food options (including room service) are above average for an all-inclusive. One thing I would bring attention to is that the waves at the beach can get a little rough, due to the lack of a cove, or barrier reef, but all-in-all it's still a gorgeous beach and the pool options make up for where the beach does lack. I travelled to HRHC Punta Cana the last week of March and am just getting back.
