I am currently researching PCC vs. Majestic colonial. Having been to punta cana before...yeah the food isn't to die for but its just fine. Don't expect fine dining and american food that tastes american. The DR is quite 3rd world. (our bus driver threw rocks at the begging kids hanging on the bus) I have also had equal tasting food in the bahamas X2 different resorts and 2 other carribean spots. I have had excellent food on my two mexico vacations. But, Punta cana has palm trees on the beach....Hello wedding spot... PLUS!!!!! I met my fiance in punta cana 3 years ago on vacation with my sister. I was lucky to be a travel nurse at the time. We closed the 10 hour driving gap slowly and are now excited to bring it all back to where we met..except a different resort.

I am a foodee but I also think that you aren't going to get great pizza or mac n' cheez in the DR. The people I know who say the food isn't great don't go for the "fresh local fare" that migth be the tastiest because it is closer to what the DR people know. Enjoy the fresh fruits, fish and icecream. Stay simple and enjoy.

I am deciding between the paradisus and majestic colonial. I have not investigated pricing of either one. How did you rate the food at the paradisus overall? I was thinking of doing a private boat the day before the wedding.
