My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jewel Palm Beach! Firstly, the dining options were exceptional, with a variety of options to choose from. Despite the restaurants not accepting reservations, the longest wait we encountered was about 10 minutes.
The beach area was nice, and the staff made every effort to clear seaweed along the beach daily. Plus, if you walk 5-10 minutes down the beach, you’ll find beautiful white sandy beaches. We also appreciated the resort's close proximity to Punta Cana airport (about 20-minutes). We booked a private transfer to the resort as there didn’t seem to be a shuttle to the resort from the airport.
Given the resort’s small size, everything—pools, restaurants, and beach—was conveniently within walking distance. While we didn't explore the casino or disco, the daytime poolside activities were fun! We recommend upgrading to the club level; the club restaurant surpassed our expectations, and there is an exclusive pool and beach areas for club members.
If there's an area for improvement, it would be the room accommodations. Although it appeared that renovations were underway during our visit, we stayed in a club tropical deluxe (king) room that, while nice, could benefit from a bathroom upgrade. While some rooms in our hallway experienced leaks during a rainstorm, fortunately, ours was not affected.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return!
