Catalonia Royal La Romana: Amazing Resort!

We’ve been to quite a few resorts and found this one to be top notch. The people were friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean and inviting. The food was very good and the entertainment was of a higher caliber than seen at most family type resorts. The beach was amazing!

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Nice hotel with great service

This was a last minute trip. We had not been to an all inclusive in 5 years and we needed to get away from the cold. This resort is a little over 1 hour drive from Punta Cana airport. Very lush grounds, very well maintained. A lot of trees on the beach so if you cannot get a parasol on the beach, trees provide nice shade. Rooms are large and clean. We had a nice balcony with chairs and table. Air conditionning was a bit too cool (one setting only - high). Pool is huge and nice.  [... read more] Food - A large dining room or bfast, lunch and supper. I am not a fan of buffets, it was ok. Good selection for bfast and supper. We usually had our lunch at the beach Los Olas restaurant. Another buffet but smaller. I found it was always the same food. Not much variety. We tried the Italian and Pescatore restaurant (the Gourmet was full all week). For us the Italian was the best. The beach does not have white sand like in Punta Cana however it is still beautiful. Aways a small wave and no weeds. If there were weeds, they were cleaned right away as they have staff working the beach all morning. Drinks - 4 bars and service is good. We found the drinks with liquor were watered down. The service in the dining room is very good. Every time we entered the dining room we had no problems finding a table and we never waited for coffee in the morning or water and wine at supper. Consistently every day. Good service at the lobby counter also. We had an issue with our room when we arrived and it was taken care of very quickly. The other thing is be aware as Canadians, you will get a call in your room to say they have a gift for you. Its all about time share. Typical talk and then they will give you a credit for the gift shop. We did not go. This is a nice small resort. Great for couples or families who want a quiet place to rest and relax.

Catalonia Royal La Romana: It was really amazing rezort

Hotel was very nice, landscaping really beautiful, very pleasant place in general. Wonderful people. I cannot complain about accommodation. Rooms are spacious, elegant, clean, enough space for everything and everybody. I changed the room after the first 2 nights ( upgrading). Both of them were different but beautiful. People - I would like to say thanks a million to my first cleaning lady Dariane. Such a amazing young girl, beautiful, very friendly, helpful, fast and efficient. I missed her aft [... read more]er I moved. Rosa, my new cleaning lady, thank you very much, as well. Food - very good and totally different from my prior experience in AI resorts. One small buffet for breakfast and 3 times for dinner, otherwise a la carte. Buffet was very good. I cannot tell about the other restaurant, I didn't go. I loved my lunch at snack bar - the best menu to choose from for light lunch and people were amazing. It was part of a wet bar and those guys there were so friendly, happy and full of such a positive attitude. Especially Marcos, thank you very much. I cannot thank everybody. These people - all of them, are working very hard - waiters, cooks, landscapers....etc. Thank you very much, you are very important part of my amazing holiday. My special thank to PRISCILLA. You, lady, with your knowledge, organization skills, positive attitude, friendliness....you can easily run this resort. I have no doubts. You are beautiful person, inside and out. Again, thank you very much to everybody in Catalonia Royal La Romana. My apology if I forgot to mention somebody. You all were great.

Viva Dominicus Palace by Wyndham: Beat the Winter Blahs - Enjoy a little summer in your winter! Destination: Viva Wyndham Dominicus Palace -La Romana.

The resort is situated in Bayahibe, La Romana just 30 minutes buss drive from La Romana International Airport. After several years, I returned to this wonderful resort and I was impressed of the entirely redesigned lobby. To my surprise, at the lobby bar I was delighted to meet an old friend Raul the barman. No one can forget his friendly smile and his moto “Especial”! In this all-inclusive resort, the atmosphere provides a level of privacy that appeals especially to adult couples. Howeve [... read more]r, families with children are also welcome and are well taken care off! We had a “Garden View, Superior Room” very clean, good size bed. The rooms are maintained daily by the cleaning crew.. Complimentary Wi-Fi connection is available all around the resort. The food selection for breakfast lunch and supper is good, with restaurant reservation available as well. We eat mostly at Rest. La Yuca (buffet) which had a good assortment to our liking. My “sweet tooth” was delighted with the selection of sweets available, especially the home-made ice cream. The grounds are well maintained, and all is green - immaculate! The staff at this resort are having a pleasant professional attitude, making sure that you are having a great time. The most important time of our vacation was the accessibility to the immaculate white-sand beach, the ocean views looking out over the brilliant waters of the Caribbean Sea, and then enjoying a swim. Life can not be better! Each evening at the lobby bar, has live music, and of couple of time we danced to it. There are also daily shows given by the artistic crew. We preferred evening walks from “Dominicus Place” to the shopping center a nice 15 minutes walk. You don’t get bored at this resort! There are lots of activities available, including water sports, fitness programs etc. We have enjoyed the morning exercises at the pool site conducted by a dynamic team. The selected music that accompanied the exercises was great. In addition, we appreciated all the selection of Dominican music that played daily at the pool site! The staff at the beach bar are all great. In addition to drinks, snacks and light lunch is also available. All in all, we had a great time. Thank you “Viva Wydham Dominicus Place” for an unforgettable 12 days of vacation. This is "Au Revoir, not Goodbye”. In addition many thanks to Fathia Ibrahim from tripcentral.ca that help me book this vacation!

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Dream dominick's... would recommend with one reservation

The hotel was very nice, rooms were nice and the cleaning was always good. The service in the restaurants was sometimes slow but always friendly. The beach was fabulous and because of the way the resort handles the beach and pool chairs, there isn't that need to get up at 7 AM to reserve a chair. the only thing that was a real negative for me was the smoking. There were ash trays everywhere and people could smoke anywhere ( except in the room)- but there was an ash tray on the balcony. In [... read more] the bars the smoke would drift towards you and we actually moved several times. If smoking is to be allowed, it should be only in designated areas. Apart from the smoking this is a great resort

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Sweet Dreams

Had a great 11 days at Dreams Dominicus. Beautiful beach, clean pools, nice grounds. Perfect size resort. Room was spacious and comfortable. Staff pleasant and accommodating. Love tbe ladies at the lobby bar ! Only negatives were that this is smoking resort ! And evening restaurant service is very slow.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Amazing resort and staff

We have been to many all inclusive resorts and were not disappointed with our decision to go here. We upgraded to preferred which made the difference in our experience. Resort is clean lovely beach area. And the staff are great. They go out of their way to make you happy. We will be back.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Excellent Resort

Excellent Resort! Spacious rooms, beautiful beach and pools. Service was excellent from the restaurants and bars. Only downfall was the buffet had limited options compared to other resorts (in my opinion); however the a la carte restaurants made up for it.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Overall review

Hi, - Staff: very friendly and nice, but generally speaking on "island time", sometimes no follow-ups on requests - Meals & food: overall very average for main packages with limited choices, sometimes a little sub-part (poor). Preferred club had better quality food, but only near the preferred reception, far from the beach. - Beach: excellent water, really appealing. Much better than Punta Cana. Clear blue water - Activities were fun This is really a 4 star hotel. Regards,

Dreams La Romana: Amazing resort

We had a wonderful time at the Hilton la Romana. Dominican.The staff were great, They spoke Spanish and English.The food was very good ,the hotel was very clean and a beautiful pool. The weather was hot and beautiful 27-30 C every day.We couldn't ask for a better vacation spot.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Wonderful Beach!

The resort had a long, very walkable private beach. Much of the beach was lined with palm trees and sun lounges. One end even featured a beach bar. As I enjoy snorkelling it was unfortunate that the resort is near a river. The silt from the river tends to make the water by resort cloudy, a sort of grey-blue colour. However, the further one walked from the river the clearer the water became. I was able to snorkel at the furthest beach. The 3 restaurants on the resort offered wonderful meal [... read more]s. There was a cappuccino bar which I enjoyed. The buffet restaurant always served an interesting and wide variety of selections. My room held a new model television and fully equipped bathroom. I appreciated the magnifying mirror. There were also free bicycles and a great number of safe biking roads around the golf course and new housing developments.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Beautiful Resort

Had a wonderful week here. Friendly staff, grounds were very well maintained, clean & well taken care of. Food and restaurants were great. Only complaint, and it's very minor, is trying to get towels each day (pools/beach) was difficult. Often ran out quite early on and didn't restock very often.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Bahia Principe La Romana

Great Staff, enjoyed the food and location! Smaller than most Bahia resorts, just the way I like it. Most of the large hotels fail to focus on your needs but NOT here, guest service was outstanding. Currently the JR suites are very dated (hot water issue) however they are in the process of upgrading them. Never the less we plan on returning in September 2020.

Whala Bayahibe: Great resort

This is the second time I’ve been to this resort and I love it! It’s clean, fun and friendly staff, some of them actually remember me from my first trip there, and the food was great, and it was the perfect resort for what I needed!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Gorgeous resort

We loved this resort easy getting around , great buffets, beautiful rooms , only thing is we missed the green carribean water , how ever the water was calm and the sandy beach is huge lots of chairs with hut umbrellas , could always get a seat, entertainment was good , , the down side was it’s around hour and 20 min from airport, out flight with air Canada was delayed 3 half hours , which we didn’t mind as we got to stay longer , very relaxing resort , would recommend .

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Amazing resort

Hotel is clean, nice and quiet, well maintained with very very friendly personal, good entertainment, huge variety of food, very good beach and swimming pools, seven restaurants, good transportation around huge territory, newly built

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Unfulfilled promises

While the resort was not bad, it certainly didn't live up to the expectations it created. TL;DR - restaurants open once or twice a week and are fully booked before you get there, jacuzzi are not heated, never saw the butler we paid for, the gym is the small and one of the two treadmill remained broken all week. Don't waste your money here when you could afford a Sandals vacation or The Royal Playa Del Carmen for the same budget, much bigger bang for you buck. Restaurants - The first day o [... read more]f our stay we went to the guest service to reserve the restaurant for that night. It was disappointing to hear that although the website advertise 6 restaurants, only 1 or 2 are open per nights. We were looking to book each of them once and Don Pablo twice. The Takara was only open the night we got there and was fully booked. The lady at the guest reception would tell us that most of the other nights were booked as well only to magically find a table after she saw our dispair. On our first night of a la carte restaurant we rushed to be on time since it was written that they would only hold the reservation for 5 min. When we got there, the doors opened 7 minutes late. Once inside the restaurants, and throughout our meal we observed that close to half the tables remained empty. The food was good most of the time but the trouble to get a table was more than what you would expect from a relaxing vacation. Now this will probably make one of the Bahia Principe write one of their "were sorry about this "isolated" situation and hope you come back" generic anwser like on the other comments but the fact remains that we saw other couples with the same full booked experience we did Pools - The pools were nice and clean but the "jacuzzi" are nothing more than cold pools with jets. We haven't found a single heated jacuzzi in all of Bouganville and when we asked a staff member confirmed our obesrvation. Butler - Our room rates included a bultler but i never saw one during our stay... Gym - Might be one of the worst gym i saw in over 50 resorts. It had 2 treadmill, one of which is broken. One bike, a couple of free weights and had children sitting on equipment playing games on their phone... Grounds and rooms - Tge grounds are beautiful and well maintained and the rooms are nicely cleaned. Beach - The palm trees on the beach were nice but the water was murky. Overall, the resort is okay but not for the price they ask. They try to punch way above their weight class and its just disapointing to spend hard earn time and money when you had much better experience elsewhere for the same budget or less.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Dreams

The property is pristine. It is not a large property therefore easy to get to all amenities. The food was Ok always something to eat. The restaurant were a nice change but not anymore tasty than the buffet. The staff are friendly and willing to please.
