Iberostar Selection Hacienda Dominicus: Just an awesome resort! Would love to return for sure!

The gardens/grounds were in immaculate condition, thanks to the very hard working staff! The pools were monitored all day everyday for debris, etc. The beach was kept clean and supervised! The nightly, variety of entertainment was exceptional! The staff connected with the entertainment were willing to give dance lessons and were all very friendly!

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Not a Resort for English Canadians

This is by far a 5* resort. A 5* food resort however the service and English staff would rate this a 1*. We spoke with our Air Transat rep who let us know La Romana because it's in the middle of nowhere has the lowest paying staff wages on Dominican Republic. All staff are trainees and do not speak any English. Service was awful. Plates would stack up on your table at buffet and had to ask manager to have someone remove them. Ordering a drink at a bar would take 15-20 mins every time. If they co [... read more]uld up the service this would be a 5 star all the way around.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Awesome resort

Hotel was spectacular. Great amenities. Rooms very nice and great variety of foods at buffet. A la carte restaurants were excellent also. Nightly Entertainment was good and daytime pool entertainment was a lot of fun. The beach was beautiful. The only drawback was the water at the beach was murky so you couldn't see the bottom which was too bad. We had a blast here!!

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Great Resort but not as good as 2 years ago

The Resort itself is beautiful. I had been there two years ago and had gotten a beautiful room and the service was excellent. This New years, even though it was my second time there, which my agent from TripCentral forgot to mention, the room was pitiful. We didn't even have a chair. Honestly, in Cuba you would get a better room in a 3 star resort. It is sad to say, but this resort is not what I would consider a 4 star. The washrooms in the common area where mainly so dirty that we had to go [... read more] to our room. There, the toilet didn't flush very well either. Most of the outside showers did not work either and the pool was not the cleanest. After explaining that it was my second time, we got access to free wifi in a dedicated area. I have to say that the New years eve dinner was excellent but we had to pay an extra $20.00 US per person. I do hope that the management will take a good look of what is happening there and will improve again. I have recommended this resort after my first visit but would not do so at this point.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Great Resort!

We were pleasantly surprised; we expected an Ok resort but was amazed by the friendliness and energetic staff everywhere. From reception with Angel who did his utmost to find us a very nice room, to booking restaurants with Ingrit; both very professional, helpful all with a smile at all time! We were impressed by the buffet; always fresh & abundant with lots of variety! even cream cheese & peanut butter was available for the North Americans lolol! Clean beaches - clean rooms - maintenance  [... read more]of building non stop. The mature grounds, garden and birds on resort was enjoyed by all. Nice activities & shows at night (if you wanted to participate) but no hassle by staff if you didn't. We were expecting no more than a 3 star hotel /Cuban style - we got much, much better! p.s. great if you are there New Years Eve; we got Party at the beach plus great fireworks - very, very nice! Tks Karishma for your advice - we really enjoyed our stay!

Weare Cadaques Bayahibe: Fabulous

We thoughly enjoyed our stay.We were a family of 5, us 61 and our children 28 29 30. Everyone enjoyed the food, the ambiance, and the best New Years party we have ever been to.Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Horrible roach infested resort

This was the worst all-inclusive experience of my life. Roaches in the main buffet dining hall, rats roaming the dining hall floor, same food everyday. Beach was the only redeeming quality of this resort.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Great vacation spot!

A non-pretentious but comfortable, beautiful and energetic hotel. We went there to surprise my parents who were already there so we didnt know where we were going or what to expect. It was our first resort experience as well, since we are of the backpacker type. The beach was beautiful, water warm, sunsets unforgettable, the people friendly (helped that we are fluent in Spanish) and the food delicious - lots of choices for a vegan/vegetarian diet, which we were super happy with. We left the ho [... read more]tel to explore the national park, Bayahibe and Santo Domingo on our own terms (not into these super guided tours) and we loved it all. It was a true relaxing vacation!

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Fun place

We were a family with 2 young kids and we spent christmas at the hotel. The beach was very nice though people claim its murky. Its simply because of the sand. Kids had an amazing time with the figferent shows they have. Staff are very nice and room clean. Food was good too.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Beautiful, clean and well maintained resort

The resort itself is beautiful. Rooms are clean, food is incredible, beach is meticulously raked all day. Water is not as blue as you may be expecting, and all excursions require a boat ride or a bus ride out for more than one hour. It is the only resort that is on the beach so quite private. Great for couples or families.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Nice hotel, non suitable sea water!

Nice, clean, pleasant, ideal for relaxation, helpful staff, decent food. The hotel is located in a bay area attached to the family section, sandy, clean beach, but dirty sea area / location, not suitable to swim, snorkel, etc.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: dreams dominicus resort and spa

It,s difficult to write about this hotel because it's not finished The personnal is very gentle. but we waited a long time to have our room the pool are large and the spa also It,s very clean 9( the room and the place)

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Similar to other Luxury Bahia Principe resorts

We've stayed at 5 LBP resorts now and this was worst location we've stayed at. The hotel chain does a nice job with everything under theiron control. The beach, flies, sand flees, wasps, bees, cock roaches and sewage smell were the worst part. Room great. Services great. Food mostly great. Okay for a pool vacation but I would say the we will not go back.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Dreams Dominicus, La Romana is the perfect sized resort !

This brand new resort is beautiful.... or should I say will be. Give them some more time and the resort will be done. Amazingly calm turquoise blue water & a bay you can walk for miles. The Dreams chain of resorts exceeds all expectations with their personalized friendly & helpful service. This was my fifth time to a Dreams Resort and the food is always great. With construction still underway with some rooms we were not given our Preferred Ocean view room. Instead we were given a swim up  [... read more]room which suited us just fine. [Nov 25 - Dec 2 2016 ~ theater & disco not open] All in all we will be back to this resort ~ but maybe in a couple of years when everything is completed and all the hiccups are ironed out.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Nice beach!!

Hotel rooms were modern and beach was beautiful with plenty of chairs, entertainment was good. Most of the bar and buffet staff were slow and sometimes we didn't even get what we asked for. The ala carte line was half an hour long because they only accept bookings Sunday AM. This should be better managed. The full daytrip we booked to Saona was spent at a different island for the majority of the day and only got to enjoy saona for 45 min. Be careful before you book any trip and ask questions. Th [... read more]e wait staff in the ala cartes were quick and the $36 usd lobster dinner is not worth it. Overall great experience but def needs some changes.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: beautiful resort

The resort was of medium size very nice and clean the rooms were very spacious and the staff were very pleasant. The food was mediocre at the buffet but the food at the LaGourmet and the steak house was exceptional. I had no problems at all to complain about just did a lot of drinking and relaxing. The guys at the pool bar were great, tip them well and you will never go thirsty the lobby bar was a little "stuffy" if you know what I mean but all was well. They had 9 holes opened up at the golf [... read more] course a little rough but working on a champion 18 hole coarse. $20 us after 1 to play 9 that includes cart, clubs,balls and transportation pretty cheap for a fun afternoon. the bay was very nice to walk on if you go to the left not much to look at if you go to the right only vendors that hound the hell out of you bought a few things from them, do not pay what they ask you can talk them down to a third of their asking price. was a little far from punta cana airport about hour and a half give or take straight highway.

Iberostar Selection Hacienda Dominicus: More Lobster Than You Can Ever Eat

The Hotel is older but immaculate, cleaners, pool boys, and gardeners every where, repairs that were needed were completed within hours . Huge selection in the main buffet, Japanese restaurant, was fun missed the Mexican, Steak house is the one on the beach used for lunch.

Dreams La Romana: Great time at Dreams La Romana

We had been to the Dreams La Romana in Nov 2015 also, so we knew what to expect. The resort is the perfect size for us. The service from all staff was terrific. We stayed 14 nights. Those staff with whom we dealt most learned our preferences and anticipated them. We stayed with the preferred club this time (as opposed to 2015) and in our minds, it was worth the upgrade. Food choices were good...we always found something. The Oceana made great tenderloin steak...perfect medium rare. We we [... read more]nt for couples massage, and it was very professional. The resort itself was clean. The washrooms everywhere were clean. Staff are always doing something...there is no idle time. The beach was private so there was no hard selling by people. Water was clear. The water was calm. The staff are what really sets this place apart. I would definitely return for a third time.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: lovely staff..fantastic beach..great food

the first day was a challenge. my air conditioner clanged and creaked until it finally died, leaving pools of stinky water all over the floor. i was given a new room and it was perfect. the staff were wonderful and friendly and the a la carte restaurants were exceptional for the ambience and live music, although the food was overcooked and stale. the buffet was varied enough not to be boring after 7 days and the front desk kindly let me stay in my room until shortly before my shuttle left for th [... read more]e airport ( after i reminded them how awful my first day was). for an older hotel, it was very nice and i recommend it to anyone looking for a piece of old fashioned tourist accom ( the 1000 room hotel next door was frightening!) with friendly, helpful staff, beautifully kept grounds, lots of play areas for adults and kids alike.
