We just returned from a week holiday at NOW Laramar Punta Cana. It was our first experience with the NOW resort groups and was overall positive. The resort is spread out over a large area which involves lots of walking but it never seemed congested. The entertainment in the evenings was very good: Circus, men's tenor group and little children from the day camp performing. The food was good, we did the Japanese which was a terrific experience, sat with a random group of people and shared lots of laughs while the chef entertained us. The steak house was a bit disappointing , I got the ribeye steak but it was very thin and tough. The room was clean, beds very comfortable, typical few English television stations however this wasn't a major minus as we didn't watch much television. The bar served up excellent drinks, staff in all areas of the resort were polite, helpful and often entertaining, like the server in the buffet restaurant who whistled like a bird. The Cafe was a plus as we enjoyed mid day tea or coffee. Air Transat representative was informative and available. The beach was disappointing as the lounges were broken, worn material left the frame exposed and quite uncomfortable. Would I recommend NOW, yes I would but suggest you get yourself seated around the pool in the better chaise lounge.
