Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton

I just returned from the most incredible birthday getaway at this resort, and I'm still buzzing from the experience! From the moment we arrived, every detail was thoughtfully handled, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay truly special. Check-In Like No Other Check-in with Ransel was an absolute breeze and such a delight! We had overcome quite a journey to get there and arrived exhausted and starving. Instead of the typical check-in process, they whisked us straight to the sports bar for drinks and food – talk about understanding what guests need! The shrimp mac and cheese and nachos were phenomenal, and the shots were perfectly crafted. But what really made the difference was the genuine, welcoming attitude from every staff member. We felt like VIPs from minute one. Dining That Delivered Every Night Dinner was a highlight every single evening! The Italian restaurant's pizza was absolutely top-notch – the staff and chef there were exceptional at ALL restaurants. And the buffet? Go with an appetite and let them cook fresh shrimp and oysters for you right there – you absolutely won't regret it! The fruit too, so fresh and delicious. The Heart of Our Trip: Danny at the Bar The outdoor bar with Danny was hands-down the highlight of our entire trip! Even though it was the off-season and the resort is relatively new, Danny made every moment worth it. His energy, personality, and service were unmatched. We found ourselves returning there again and again. Accommodations & Thoughtful Touches The rooms were fantastic, and the champagne and fruit waiting for us was such a lovely touch. The mini bar stayed perfectly stocked throughout our stay – it's the little things that matter! Staff That Shines I have to give special recognition to Ransel, Danny, Yolanda, Enrique, and Dios Mary – they provided the best customer service I've ever experienced at a resort, hands down. Everyone at the property greeted us with warm smiles and enthusiastic "HOLA!"s that made us feel so welcome and valued. Relaxation & Recreation The spa was wonderful, though I do wish we'd been offered the opportunity to sit outside around the whirlpool after our massage – I think that would be a perfect addition once the spa is fully complete. The pool was excellent, and don't miss the shopping and sweet shop – it's a must-stop! Room for Even More Magic My only suggestion would be to host more fun nights with dancing in the ballroom. We absolutely loved the dancing opportunity we had, and more of those would have been incredible. The outdoor theatre is beautiful, though we did get rained out – so indoor dancing options would be perfect! Final Thoughts This resort delivered an unforgettable birthday celebration. The combination of outstanding food, incredible staff who genuinely care, beautiful facilities, and that special something that makes you feel like family made this trip one for the books. I can't wait to return! Five stars without hesitation!

The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The resort is spectacular. Food was excellent. The room was luxurious and had an ocean view.
