Dreams La Romana: Perfect Vacation

Perfect! The food was great. Tried most of the a la cartres and enjoyed them all. The grounds were immaculate. Staff was helpful and friendly. Good snorkeling right on the resort. Will return for sure.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Not bad.

We just came back from Grand Bahia Principe La Romana 2 weeks ago. The vacation went well and smooth, in overall the hotel and beach was good, even not clear see water was not dramatically. We enjoined the beach and swimming in the see. There never was a bad day to swim, no matter wind see always was calm, no waives at all. Hotel is clean and well maintained, room service amazing, but service at the lobby bar, buffet and beach buffet was a huge disappointment. Does not matter tip or not we were  [... read more]ignored by staff most of the time. The only good service we got at the beach bar closest to the adults only part and at the bar next to lobby. Kelvin is the best barman in the entire hotel. I would say the hotel is a lot family oriented, all entertainments were shut down at 11 in the evening. Which is basically not bad thing. Royal golden club privileges are a big joke.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Very nice clean resort

The ocean water not being clear and I wouldn't recommend it for that reason only. Everything else was very nice. Also it would be nice to land at La Romana airport instead of the long drive from Punta Cana.

Catalonia Bayahibe: Catalonia Dominicus

For an older resort it is very well maintained and a lot of the rooms have been remodeled . They are always cleaning and fixing from the lobby right to the beach. You could not say enough about the staff, every one of them will say hello and they are always willing to help or find someone that can. The food is very good for an all inclusive resort. The a la carts are quite good and not needing a reservation is a big plus that many other resorts don't have. We would show up at between 7pm and 8pm [... read more] and would not have to wait and we went almost every night in our 14 night stay. There are a lot of activities going on both at the beach and the pool and often at the same time so there was always something to do if you have to keep busy. The beach is beautiful , there are palm trees everywhere so you really don't need a hut. If you want one you need to get up early . There is a man made reef just off shore so the water is always calm and you can snorkel all day long . There are many kinds of fish along the reef just bring a banana and you will see more than enough.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Great resort

Great resort. Very well maintained. Very clean. Everyone was friendly, food was good especially a la cartes. Overall experience was excellent. Excursions a bit pricey. Did not like being bothered about going to meetings about future trip with the Bahi Principi group.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Peaceful Beach!

The premises are well maintained, the food is good (not excellent), good services, nice beach, very friendly staff! Could have more activities and improve the food, but overall a very good place to relax and forget about the every day hassle!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Way better than expected!

I'll start with the very minor negatives. The beds were hard, that being said, they were very accommodating in giving us a pillow top for the mattress. The food is more then adequate and plentiful but for those that don't travel, they may be expecting better. Any person that does travel will know not to expect food beyond imagination. Overall, they did a great job attempting to cook American/Canadian style food. The ocean isn't as clear as we hoped but the pool side is amazing so it wasn't a con [... read more]cern. All the staff were unbelievably polite and more then willing to do anything for you. The "butler" Francisco and Nester the pool side runner were amazing. Our room was beautiful and spacious. The lobby was relaxing and tranquil. The entire resort was by far the best maintained then anywhere I've been, specifically the landscaping. In short my husband and I would not hesitate to return as often as we could, in fact, we are already planning our return.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: be live canoa

Very good hotel location ideal, beautiful beech, beautiful pool. Excellent service, people there always got a smile on their face.Food is excellent and theres alot of variety from other countries.Alot of activities.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: AMAZING

This resort is BY FAR the CLEANEST, FRIENDLYEST, SECUREST, and most BEAUTIFUL we have been to. The rooms are extremely clean and actually smell great. There is no need to bring any candles, or room fresheners or bounce for your drawers. The rooms are nice and airy. They painted in light colours that make them seem even bigger. We did not have any face clothes when we arrived. On our first day, I asked the cleaning staff for some and they provided some each and every day until we left. We canno [... read more]t say enough about the cleaning staff. ALL washrooms on the premises were very, very clean. There seemed to be a cleaning lady in every washroom every time we used one. The pool was scrubbed every morning (we had a room facing the pool – Bonus). Outside walkways and around the pool were also washed, more like scrubbed, on a daily basis. The staff is great here. There is a bit of a language barrier, but you can’t expect the staff to speak every language. We are visiting their country and tourists should expect language barriers outside of their country. If staff did not understand, they would get somebody who did. Nestor, a server from the bar, would make sure that we had our favorite drinks in hand all day. He could find us anywhere and aimed to please! :0) The entertainment staff are great, Luis and Manuel are awesome and provided enough activities throughout the day. We would have preferred a bit more upbeat music in the afternoons. The grounds are beautiful and very well groomed. The security here is beyond belief. We felt very secure here. There are security guards at every section of the resort and they are very visible. We have never experienced this type of security before and it was an added bonus. The food was very good. I gained 6 pounds, and tried something new every day. We travelled with two other couples and none of us got sick, nor did we hear about anybody else on the resort getting sick. We ate until we were full at each and every meal with no complaints. Chef Victor would even take the time to come out of the kitchen to help our friend who suffers from celiac with her food choice. Knowing before we arrived that the water at the beach was murky did not bother us. This is mainly caused by a manmade island that was built by the first owner of the resort next door which interrupts the natural flow of the water. Coming from Atlantic Canada, this is what we are accustomed to. The beach itself is beautiful with lots of shade from the palm trees. This resort is small and if you are at the pool or on the beach, you are always close to a bar, a washroom, the snack bar and your room. It is the perfect place for R & R. This review cannot be complete without mentioning the hotel manager, Manuella! You will see her around the pool, in the lobby, on the grounds with her beautiful smile. She will acknowledge you every time and by the end of your stay, you feel like you have become part of her lovely family. My friend said it best: ¨This resort hit the jackpot when they acquired Manuella¨ and I agree. Thank you for a great vacation and we will definitely back.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Awesome Trip

We spent most of our time at the pool and the staff at the pool bar were great... Eduardo,Jasmine and Nestor will make sure you cup is always full.... This resort is very quiet and  [... read more]relaxing... the lobby bar at night is a great place to sit and enjoy a drink at night.... the staff there always have a smile... Ramon, Catarin, and Yahaira will look after you like no other. We ate at 3 a la cart's and they were great... the Grill, Japanese, and Italian....the rest of the time was at the buffets. The beach is great, the water is murky, however lots of people swimming in it. We really enjoyed the resort and our time there, we would recommend this resort to anyone.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Subpar Resort

Very poor staff, bad food and bad drinks. Had lots of problem with our room. Food was so bad I actually lost weight. Same meals everyday. Near impossible to get a drink with lazy staff they refuse to help even without line ups. Nobody could speak a word of English. Very rude staff. Wouldn't go back.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: A beautiful resort !

We just returned from our 7 day stay at Bouganville. The hotel and the rooms are shining and spotless, the staff is exceptionally friendly and a pleasure to talk to, we had absolutely no problems. We will go back and we would definitely recommend this resort to others. The beach has many cabanas and chairs, and lots of palm trees. Although you cannot walk for a long distance along the beach, it is very pretty, and the pool area is very nice as well. There are activities to participate in all day [... read more] long and the theatre at night at La Romana was great, very talented performers. If you are looking for exceptional service and cleanliness then Bouganville is what we would recommend.

We stayed at Grand Bahia Principe La Romana March 3rd to the 10th. We had such great weather the whole time we were there. The bus to the resort was fine. The service when we got to the resort was great. We got checked in right away and were greated with drinks. Our room was very nice and clean. The maids did a great job. The food at the resort was great as well. No bad things to say about our time!

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: La Romana D.R. is a hidden treasure for sunlovers

Be Live Collection - Canoa **** La Romana D.R. we landed in PUJ at 9:45 pm and surprise, the duty free shop was open. After a 50 minute commute from PUJ you enter a spacious lobby.

With a frosted glass door to the toilet another to the shower and the sink/vanity in between.  [... read more]The room is cleverly modern in it its design. Back in the lobby on the left is the concierge center and straight ahead is the service desk. This resort is for sun and beach fun. Pass through the lobby and step into the hub of this resort. The Plaza Bar features nightly entertainment, try the rich sweet red label whiskey, icy tequila marguerites, hot espresso and delicious ice caps. Listen to a saxophone player, solo singer, classical music, and favorites like smoke on the water and other standards drift through the night air. For $10 CAD nightly receive prompt table service, you don't have to wait in line! With an extra large seating area decorated with neon green tables & white chairs, on marble flooring, all very neat and clean. The theatre is off to one side, the lights blink when the shows about to begin. The modern open air disco off to the other side opening at 11pm. $$$$US shops surround the plaza bar, sunscreen is $25US. We went through 6 cans in a week. Its was sunny and hot with a few refreshing showers late day. Walk the path to the right and find the Buffet, that has different fare/nightly theme: Mexican, Italian w/ a layered drink, French w/champagne, Brazilian, Dominican. Try the Asian a la carte, it is very tasty & entertaining, avoid the Gourmet. Passed the buffet is a large pool a 24hr snack bar adjacent.

The best ocean to swim in the Dominican, been to Punta Cana Dreams & Grand Paradise & Bahia Ambar ****as well as Samana Grand Paradise***. Walk up the beach and pass 2 sets of vendors right on the beach, best buys at those farthest away. Its a nice walk and allows you to see other resorts. This hotel resort has so many excursions to offer on site at half price than through the Airline tour operator. Enjoyed every moment and will return. Superior kind service, delicious food, great drinks and entertainment what more do you want. We will return for sure.
