Dreams La Romana: Amazing resort!

We had a 10 night stay and were very satisfied with every aspect of the hotel. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by staff who are friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean throughout, and our room was spacious with everything that we needed. Breakfast was substantial, and suited all tastes. We would highly recommend a stay at this resort!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Spent 10 days here

This resort is pretty nice. The grounds are well kept. The rooms are a perfect size with great bathrooms. The rooms are nice and clean. Well stocked with water, beer and sodas. People who have been to this resort multiple times claim the food used to be outstanding so they are very disappointed. It's average but there's always something to select. I ate a lot of salad and can confirm it's washed with bottled water. Fish is good; beef is tough; chicken could be dry. My husband ate something t [... read more]hat caused him bad D for almost 3 days. We think it was the turkey but hard to tell. I tried coffee out of the machine and that was a big mistake. I suffered badly but thank goodness it only lasted 30 minutes. Stick with the coffee/milk they serve at your table. The beach is man made and well maintained. Sand is added and raked daily. Lots of loungers/tables/palapas. The first day we arrived, there seemed to be a film of oil floating on top of the water but didn't notice it the next 9 days. There appears to be a refinery of some sort on the other side. There was quite a bit of mossy grass on the bottom at first but there are some guys that spend the day scraping and netting it out. There was hardly any toward the end. The water is murky and dark; can't see your feet. However, we're beach people and went in the water daily. Best to shower off after cause your skin could feel itchy. Fabulous sunsets from this vantage point. You could actually see the sun disappear within minutes. It's a nice walk along the beach. You could even use the pool near the condos. It's usually empty or less than 4 people are in it. There are no cats but we did see 3 rats on separate occasions skittering away. They are fairly big...about the size of a nerf ball. Mosquitoes come out around 5ish so bring your repellent. Entertainment is average and ends fairly early. Their wine is ok. Not sure what they put in their Bombay gin bottles because it doesn't taste like the name brand. However, staff work hard so tip them well. We spent a nice 10 days but most likely wouldn't return. We had great weather. Rained poured down while we slept. And during the day it would sweep in and last about 10-15 minutes.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Awful experience

Dirty rooms and buffets, no good food (there is plenty of food and wide variety of dishes BUT YOU CANNOT EAT THAT) and you need to ask for beverages for 3 times.There is no privacy in your rooms, so be ready that the staff keep looking in your windows non stop if you are at the 1st floor. People believe that "service" is the number of time the towels are changed and not cleaning up the rooms. Try to put a white towel on the floor in the bedroom and you see how dirty the floor is.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Beautiful resort with amazing staff

The hotel itself is amazingly clean and beautiful. The staff were very friendly and cordial without making you feel pressured to tip. The facilities on the resort were accommodating and there was something for everyone to check out, with a ever changing cycle of activities that differ day by day. The restaurants on the resort were also top notch, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of food.

Viva Dominicus Palace by Wyndham: Lovely property and great staff

This is a beautiful property. The beach is wonderful. Both the new rooms and the older rooms are well kept, clean and comfortable. The staff were extremely helpful and did their very best to get us everything we needed to have a really good holiday. The food in general was good. We had our favorite al carte restaurants but the buffet always had ample choices. A good thing was that many of the foods were new to us but became some of our favorites. Who knew that fried mashed green plantai [... read more]ns are just delicious? This was our fourth time at this property and we have seen improvements every year. We hope to be back again next year.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Wondering vacation. Couldn't have asked for more

The quality of their customer service took this trip to a whole other level. So glad I stayed here. Definitely will be returning to the Bahia resort. The view was spectacular, the beaches clean and the general atmosphere was incredible.

Whala Bayahibe: Loads of Potential

This hotel would be best for travelers looking for nothing more than relaxation in a beautiful setting. I would not recommend this hotel for those who get bored easily and enjoy entertainment. I would also stay away if travelling with younger children as there are no child friendly areas and activities. Pros: - Absolutely stunning ocean views from the infinity pools - Plenty of loungers with shade available at all times - Small resort (easy to walk around for those with mobility issues) [... read more] - Beautiful clear sea (I preferred the cliff entrance, others may find absence of a sandy beach to be a disappointment) - Within easy walking distance to shops and places to eat (we found most places were expensive) - Within walking distance of sandy beach. Also a beach bus comes every half hour to transport guests to beach. Drinks and loungers will however come at a cost once you arrive). Cons: - No swim up bar - Lacking in entertainment and daily activities - Lacking amenities (no face cloths, only one ala carte option, no kids club, no water sports, etc) - Very small liquor selection - Staff are friendly and try their best to accommodate but most do not speak English - No on-site ATM

Whala Bayahibe: Huge language barrier small resort

The hotel was decent not what I’m use to not enough restaurants or variety of food. The beds are rock hard and had little fruit fly looking bugs crawling everywhere. Staff was nice enough... not very good nightlife at all on the resort and I would recommend having a better variety of top shelf liquor

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Perfect Vacation

We returned from a vacation in Grand Bahia La Romana and we can say only good about it even resort is older, but well-kept grounds clean rooms with daily stock. The beachfront has a lot of cabanas and is also kept clean. The A la carte restaurants very good food with a nice presentation. The buffet restaurant has a good selection and you can find food for your likings. The last thing is bars with some international drinks and good service mainly in the lobby bar with barman name Jesus that ma [... read more]de our evening memorable. M & L

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Dreams Dominicus - La Romana

This was our first stay at a Dreams Resort, and our first time in the Dominican Republic. The resort was a perfect balance of quiet and fun activities! Grounds were clean, staff friendly, good food!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Amazing resort

The hotel was beautiful, clean, and spotless. The staff were very good and very helpful. The butler service was just amazing. We received turndown service most nights. They celebrate your special occasion with you and make you feel special. The pools are clean and well taken care of. The beach is okay for a man made beach.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Not a 5* hotel

Food was decent, especially the Brazilian a la carte with all the different BBQ'd meats! The buffets were not air conditioned here so you're eating in the heat. The grounds were decent, but there are several dead trees that need to be cut down. All the different types of birds were a really nice touch! The beach has lots of rocks so bring water shoes. We walked two resorts down and the beach was amazing. The man made reef was great for snorkeling IF you have a clear day/water at the beach. [... read more] Lots of shade available at the beach. The rooms are only a 2*. They are sooooo outdated and bathtub was very dirty. No headboard, no pictures, tv extremely small, lamps had mold on them, air cond worked well though. There are also lots of mosquitoes here so bring bug spray, we won't return for this reason. The MJ show was excellent. Pool side entertainment was decent. Sunsets are great. The front lobby staff didn't even say bye or thanks for vacationing with us :(

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Amazing time at Grand Bahia Principe La Romana

No complaints at all - from the staff, to the food, to the airport transfers - everything went smooth and really ensured a perfect vacation. Would definitely recommend this property to friends and family

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Chill Vibe

My partner and I found the resort to be a very chill vibe. We relaxed for the entire week. We disliked the vendors selling on the actual resort grounds (first time we have witnessed that). They were not only on the beach shore, but by the buffet entrance, by the lobby entrance, by the pool area. Very unavoidable. Beach had some rocks to overcome prior to entering into the water but the beach was beautiful. The entertainers did an amazing job and the nightly shows were incredible!

Whala Bayahibe: Great value!

Pros: amazing infinity pools, clean and renovated rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Cons: none really. Minor thing is that food wasn’t that great in both variety and quality. There is no beach in the hotel but there’s a bus that will take you to the public beach that comes every half an hour and takes about 5 mins to get to the beach. You can also rent a scooter or a car or walk for about half an hour.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Great resort!

Location was beautiful, we love the animation group! They were full of joy and very energetic! Our room was upgraded for a better one for our honeymoon, which was ok, not as good as we taught but we never really stayed in there! Only thing for us that was negative was the lack of respect of visitors, garbage was thrown on side of hotel walk ways. Other than this , it was paradise! Great food at the Japanese restaurant!!

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Good resort.

I visited in Sept 2019 as a single traveler and had a good stay. The resort is clean and well maintained. My room was also very clean with daily housekeeping and the fridge was stocked up every day (the small tips to the housekeeper worked). The buffet restaurant and Japanese restaurant are good - I loved both of them. Some of the other a-la-carta restaurant food is not so good (could have been better), but the buffet restaurant makes up for this where you could eat every day (it has plenty of [... read more] choices). Plenty of natural beauty and greenery at the resort with lots of bird life - good nature introduction for kids. I found all the staff very helpful and friendly and remember while traveling - a small amount of tips goes a long way!!! Overall - I would recommend and wouldn't mind visiting with my family.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: OK but not great

We have travelled to all-inclusive resorts for thirty years and so we have a pretty good idea on the merits of those resorts we visit. The Be Live Canoa was clean and well kept, which wasn’t hard considering the time of year we were there (September). The food was OK but not great. The ocean was lovely but the beach was not walkable for the most part and the entry to the ocean is very rocky which certainly takes away from the enjoyment. Our biggest complaint was the constant upselling by staff [... read more] on a daily basis. You could not walk anywhere on any particular day without being followed and basically accosted by someone trying to sell you a membership in the VIP club or sell you something in their shop. Incredibly you could not get a decent glass of wine to have with dinner or at any of the bars. When we tasted our first glass, it was as close to vinegar as you can get. I returned our glasses to the bar and was told if we wanted a nice glass of wine we would have to get it through a VIP membership. The only alternative was buying a bottle to have with dinner. This is totally counter-productive to enjoying an all-inclusive vacation. On a last note I emailed the resort directly before we left and advised the resort that my wife had mobility issues and that we would appreciate a room on the ground floor. The resort ignored our request.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Had a Great Time

The welcome was great and fast. The food was good. Some of it, quite a bit of it was EXCEPTIONAL. The room was beautiful and clean with a cute balcony. The Beach was super if you like a long walk either direction. Lots of Palapas!. Great drinks including a few little bottles in your fridge to tide you over. Appreciated the free safe and not being taken hostage with wi fi that worked on the beach!! Awesome for some of us that need to be connected while away. The water sports folks were a l [... read more]ittle dry but did a bang up job. A fun place to sail. They also have kayaks and paddle boards! HOSPITALITY and service IN THE RESTAURANTS WAS SUPERB!!! Bars hospitality was ok. When you stay at the Bouganvillia to avoid the rug rats you can also visit the friends rug rats next door at La Romana which has an awesome Beach lunch restaurant. Really Really good in every way. Friendly reminder. TIP. Leave a tip with each group you touch. Even a small one like 50 pesos.We noticed many did not leave a tip and that made me sad when we consider the only reason this business model works is because the country is developing. Just book it!!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Well Worth the money!

The Hotel was great from start to finish. The resort was only maybe at half capacity so the service was exceptional. From the crew in the the buffet for breakfast, the lunch by the pool and all the staff in the a'la carte restaurants or dinner buffet we had no complaints. The pool bar staff kept us in drinks and when they ran out of what we were drinking would run to get us more. Our room was usually cleaned in both the morning and evening.The entertainment crew at the pool everyday were just t [... read more]hat, entertaining. The only complaint we would have was the lack of entertainment in the evening. We were expecting a little more from a 5 star resort. Would definitely recommend this resort and consider going back.
