New York.- Only 10 Dominican Republic hotels have been classified with more than 20 pearls by Oyster Hotel Reviews, the company specialized in the industry, which in an extensive assessment of the most important lodgings in the Caribbean country’s tourist resorts granted 35 points to two, 30 to seven and 25 to one.

The Oyster Review rated lodgings in Puerto Plata, Punta Cana, Bávaro, Samana, Boca Chica, Santo Domingo, Sosua, Cabarete, La Romana, Playa Dorada among others, whereas most of the facilities are located in Punta Cana and La Romana, both in the eastern region.

The monitoring company doesn’t use the international “star” classification granted by the hoteliers themselves and instead conducts an independent review based on reports by guests, the media in each country and institutions and agencies linked to the sector.

The top 35 pearl classification by The Oyster Review went to Tortuga Bay Resort, in Punta Cana, and Palladium Palace, also in the Punta Cana-Bavaro area.

Tortuga Bay in Samana? How credible is this Oyster Review, if they cannot even get the correct location of a Resort. The only Tortuga Bay I am aware of is in the Punta Cana area.

Don't be so quick on the gun. The Oyster Review may have published the correct location as Punta Cana and the report(er) in this article may have gotten the facts wrong.
Stay tuned someone may figure it out.

At www.oyster.com, Oyster Reviews is rating Tortuga Bay in Punta Cana.

I think the editor of Dominican Today should issue a correction to this article.

Did a little research, on their website they have it listed in Punta Cana, so the reporter listed it incorrectly as Samana.

Anyway ..I regard the two Sofitel hotels in SD as a far better standard than a few others on the list and the best is La Catalina outside Cabrera ..just a joy to be there

These are all dumps in comparison to Hotels in the international community.
Even the Bahamas outclasses the DR in service and safety for the tourists.

even the Bahamas? the Bahamas is the most advanced country in the region. it seems to receive very little notice, but it is light years beyond us here.
