VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Perfect for resting(bad shows though )

Food was perfect.. the entertainment shows were not the best. The drinks at the bar were either too much alcohol or too much ice (watery). The quiet pool was perfect to read. The rooms were decent....

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: LOVE this place

I can't express how friendly, helpful and willing to make our experience just so incredible. The food, and service were more than we ever thought could be possible. The general atmosphere of the resort just wrapped around you and made you feel like everyone there was extra special and were to be treated royally. We can't wait to return for another pampering, oh-oh it' s starting to sound like we enjoy being spoiled, well, once in a while it feels really nice to be spoiled.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Be Live Marien

Other than our room being very noisy ,the couple next door had TV going full blast and one couple argue most of night in hall .Also had young people blasting a radio and dancing, laughing in hall. This was third trip to this resort ,staff are wonderful but these distractions changed things for us.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Great Resort

Great resort, lots of fun activities, huge swimming pool and very nice staff. Variety of Food through buffet and other restaurants. Beach is sandy and clean, however expect weeds on the shore though they try to clean up as much as they can.

Casa Marina Reef Resort: Fun times at Casa Marina Reef

My friends and I had a great week at Casa Marina Reef. My room, although not one of the updated ones, was clean and had a comfy bed. The sea was a bit rough so we spent most of our time at the quiet pool. The grounds were very clean, the staff friendly and the buffet had variety. Check-in was hectic, in part because I lost a wheel from my suitcase, but maintenance staff were very helpful and fixed it for me. Bar service was slow at times but that helped to space out the drinks. Ha Ha!

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Great resort for price

Large resort, guests have access to many resorts that are all connected. Theres lots of walking and stairs which was nice for our group to get to explore. There are shuttles as well though. Lots of great pools, a long stretch of beach and lots of options for food. We upgraded our room to a garden suite and it was gorgeous, especially compared to the rest in our group. It was $100 more and included a VIP wristband, but that really only got you access to one more section, but included free WiFi th [... read more]ere and sushi bar... The rest of the VIP beaches are just for the time shares. Still recommend

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Overall, nice place

The resort is massive. Be prepared for lots of walking. You have access to multiple restaurants you can book reservations with. The main buffet at the Pearl is pretty basic, not the best food, but serves it’s purpose. Our room was cleaned every day, and the staff was very polite and friendly. Overall we had a nice experience. Not sure if we would necessarily go again to this resort, but don’t let that deter you.

Paradise Playa Dorada: 4 star resort with 5 star food

We enjoyed our stay at Grand Paradise. The beach was great & snorkelling. Could have used more shade on beach. Also nightly activities need drastic improvement. Staff were amazing. Food was fantastic.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Very Small Intimate Resort

GROUNDS: Very clean and well manicured. Public areas and bathrooms were the best kept of any of the 25 plus all inclusive resorts I have been to. Free internet throughout the resort but very slow. FOOD: Probably the worst of any resort (even 2.5 star resorts) due to lack of selection, cold, taste, over salted, poor quality orange juice tasting like powdered drink, wife being denied access as staff deemed her coverup was not appropriate but was dressed the same as most others. Most staff wer [... read more]e pleasant but it was obvious that many were not happy working there. Loved the fact that there were not long lineups as in most other hotels. POOL: Very clean and well maintained, Most loungers were in very poor shape due to broken webbing. They needed to be claimed by 7:30 am or you were out of luck for the rest of the day as there were not enough for all that needed them. Several umbrellas were broken but they were fixed during our stay. Pool bar didn't open for specialty coffee until 8 am. On most days, there was a competition between the music system at the entertainment area and the cigar bar. You couldn't understand either as they drowned each other out. Foam party was awesome. Far too many promotors constantly walking around trying to sell massages, photography etc. Service was very slow with only 1 bartender. ROOM: Junior suite was very large and well cleaned. Beds need to be replaced as they were saucer shaped - kept rolling to the centre. Pillows uncomfortable. the air conditioner broke down twice at night but was fixed soon after reporting the problem. On one night the smoke detector started beeping throughout the night. It was fixed quickly also. Lost 3 nights sleep due to these problems. OTHER: Great beach. Very good Sunwing reps. Hotel is conveniently close to a mini mall and a beach market. Not a big fan of locals being allowed into the hotel. I missed having a large lobby with a bar where guests could gather and have a drink and socialize. I thought the entertainment started too late at 10:00 pm. Some of the entertainment and promotion staff acted EXTREMELY inappropriately with some single female guests (both in words and actions).

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Great Vacation

This was a beautiful vacation. Food was good, beach was great, room was nice, staff was all pleasant and friendly, enjoyed meeting other vacationers. I have only one complaint and that was the fact that our room had an adjoining door to someone else's room and you could literally hear every word and every toilet flush! Other than that it was perfect and I would not hesitate to go to this resort again!

Playabachata Hotel: Great Value

Great food and resort. Beautiful walking paths and well looked after beaches. It is a large resort with lots of amenities. Maximum numbers of floors to climb is two. There are about 1000 rooms in 125 units.

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Amazing resort. Always clean, great food, lots of variety😎

We had a bit of a rough start at first. But once we got the rooms all settled things went along well Staff were very polite & pleasant Lots of variety on things going on. The beach is great, loved watching all the kite boarding. I would recommend this resort to anyone. Would definite consider going back.

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Fabulous

Although this resort isn't completely finished...they need artwork and signage, it was spectacular. Food was excellent no matter where we went. The buffet needs signs as to what everything is as some things are not what you expect or contain seafood etc.One of our group was gluten free and had no issues at all. Lots of loungers and pool towels but this will change as the hotel gets busier. Right now you can help yourself to towels and don't have to sign up for a la cartes but that will change so [... read more]on. Found the shops okay but didn't have rum for sale, which I thought was odd. Buy your souvenirs from the guys with booths on the beach to the right of the hotel, coffee at the shops at the hotel and rum at the airport(for half the price on the beach) Don't want to say too many good things or too many people will book....

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Fun Time

The hotel staff where all friendly and accommodating . Hotel was situated close to airport. Beach was very good for walking and enjoying watching the wind kites and sailing. Food was very good above expectations. My wife and I will stay at this place again.

Playabachata Hotel: Playabachata Resort

The hotel was everything we wanted in a relaxing beach vacation. The staff is amazing and so friendly. Loved every minute. The food was great too. There a lots of activities if you wish to participate or just relax and enjoy the scenery. We can’t wait to return.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: amazing resort

we go back in a minute they are so professional special thanks to entertainment crew especially randy it is the best hotel we have ever stayed in and we have gone to alot of places over time i would recommend this resort to anyone had a great stay

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Nice 4* Resort

The grounds and beach were well kept. Rooms were clean and staff were very accommodating. Room service was fast and the food was certainly decent. I am a breakfast guy and there was always plenty of bacon and with one grill area for omelettes and one grill for eggs and pancakes, service was quite fast. We did not stay around the pool at all, so I cannot comment on it, except to say that it looked clean with plenty of lounge chairs. Service at any of the bars where I got a beer or drink, was f [... read more]riendly and quick. Overall, I thought our vacation at this resort was quite good and I would definitely recommend it as a good 4* resort.

Marien Puerto Plata Hotel: Great place to relax

this hotel is a great place to spend time, it is nice and cozy, the staff was really good. it is only a few minutes walk to everything, the beach, the bars the pool, the buffet. This is the best resort I have stayed at. Ok the room show some wear and tear but everything worked, well some things didn't but a call to the front desk and Joe fix all was there to take care of the patio door pronto. I think that the only hiccup was that our room was supposed to be ready for 3PM latest but it was [... read more] close to 4PM when we finally got our room....we did complain to the management person and they gave all 4 of us 15 hours of free Wi-Fi. that is a $60 each package if my memory serves me right. Had to pay $ 3.50 every day for the use of the safe!!!! talking about safe, this place felt totally safe everywhere you go, there is a guard on the beach there are people that walk around all day long for security. The food was excellent also, all restaurants, buffet, beach buffet. The beach buffet served pastas, hamburgers, hot dogs, deserts, between 5 and 6 they served pizzas. Thanks for recommending this site. Cheers

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Great vacation!

Had a great time on our stay Jan 16 to Jan 23, 2019. Accommodations, food, all interactions with staff with great. Beach was beautiful too. We enjoyed sitting at the quiet end of the beach where the kiteboarding lessons were being taught and the beach vendors had their meeting place. However, my only complaint is that there was a fair amount of trash in the sand around the palapas and along the tree line. Also a number of broken beach chairs just shoved into the shrubbery and left there.  [... read more] It feels like this little area gets forgotten. Other than that, had a lovely time.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Very nice resort

We really enjoyed our vacation. Very clean rooms. Grounds very clean, neat and tidy.Staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was very good in the buffet.Lots of choice. Unlimited access to a la carte restaurants was nice. Entertainment staff worked very hard to make sure everyone enjoyed their time there.
