"We spent a week at the Turquesa Resort in Nov 2012 and just thoroughly enjoyed every minute!! Had a week of perfect weather! The food was Excellent!! Enjoyed the opportunity to dine at many of the resorts restaurants...definitely recommend the Japanese, Steak House,& Brazilian restaurants. The buffet nearest the Turquesa side was also very good especially for breakfast. Our room was very clean and everyone was so friendly even tho' there was the language barrier they tried their best...if we want better communication we'll need to learn Spanish :) ...it's a beautiful language and would be an asset to have anyway!! The beach was gorgeous and very well maintained....as were all the grounds. The only thing we would change is to stay longer!!"

"This was a second trip to Punta Cana for my husband and I. We were engaged there at a different resort so decided to return and try a new place. I was not as pleased with The Royal Suites Turquesa, however we made it a great experience because Punta Cana is too beautiful of a place not to enjoy. The rooms cleanliness was acceptable not impeccable. We had to ask and wait for small wash cloths every single day. You'd think by the 2nd or 3rd day they would have caught on. The buffets were ok and the restaurants were better. We enjoyed the Brazilian, Steakhouse and Japanese restaurants. The butler service for us was pretty much a joke as we were rarely able to reach him. There is also a large language barrier for non-spanish speaking visitors. We found other visitors pleasantly surprised when they found another english speaking person. Because of the language barrier it was difficult to make request in restaurants or anywhere else. Simple things regarding the menus were left unexplained such as if you asked how the steak or chicken was prepared or what type of sauce came with a certain food you would receive a response like 'you want chicken or steak?'. The one and only important request of the butler that we made was to arrange cab service to the airport the morning were were to leave and that was somehow unfulfilled and we had to have reception call another the morning of our travel almost causing us to miss our flight. Again, it's what you make it."
