We've been there, but we stayed at the Punta Cana Excellence. It was incredible.
I never heard of the Be Live Grand, but here's the thing with the places we bused through, they're kind of maintenance deferred. They're not bad by any means, just not as clean and manicured as everything here.
If you go, you need to take a couple hundred dollar bills for tipping. It's a custom throughout the country, everyone tips for everything. Literally.
No, I've never used Vacation Express, either.
