Great vacation

We enjoyed our vacation at Gran Ventana. I like the smaller size of the property. The food is good. The beach is great. All the staff we encountered were wonderful. Would definitely recommend! Can’t wait to go back!

Good resort for the money

Food good, grounds were impeccable, room was a little outdated but more than comfortable and the service was very good. Location was good with a little mall close by for any necessities. No complaints at all

Our home away from home

We have been to the VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort 3 times now and have grown to love it. It feels like our second home! The resort isn't oversized which is great for most travellers. It has a beautiful beach for those who love the sand and water - long walks on the beach are the best!! The main pool is a happening place during the day. There is a quiet pool and bar just a short walk away at another building on the property. The food options and quality at the buffet and the a la carte restaurant [... read more]s are wonderful. We love the staff, they go over and above to make you feel welcome, so much so, that some feel like family to us (Aquilino, Amable, Jose, David, Santa, Olvi, Solange and many more who we love catching up with and seeing when we visit)! The rooms are clean and we have never experienced any issues with water pressure or water temperature. Beds are comfortable. They have added some upgrades to the property over the past few years and are continually working to ensure the property is enhanced as they can. Oscar Lore and his staff deserve a standing ovation for their excellence in working hard to ensure our vacations are memorable for all the right reasons! We look forward to returning as soon as we can!

Beautiful Resort

I will keep it short and sweet, the resort was absolutely beautiful with amazing staff! The food was absolutely delicious and it seemed that there was attention to detail on everything that was served. The beach is awesome! Beautiful waters a legit mountain view. 10/10 will go again

Great Resort !!!

This is my fourth time here. I always enjoy the Resort. The staff are wonderful especially Andrea who is the pool bartender. The rooms are always very clean and always have plenty of towels. The buffet is well stocked and there are many choices to choose from whether its for breakfast or dinner. They have evening entertainment and afternoon games and music. I definitely will be going back!!

A wonderful Christmas

The hotel grounds were immaculately kept, with flowering bushes everywhere. Main pool noisy with lots of activities, but a quiet pool available elsewhere which was just what I personally preferred as I was travelling alone. Buffet restaurant exceptional. Christmas Eve dinner at the buffet restaurant was really exceptional..Only ate at the Caribbean a/la/carte which DID not simply repeat the buffet but had some interesting options with good sized portions. Exceptional attention paid by staff  [... read more]to accommodate allergies. Rooms consistently cleaned, fridge stocked, air conditioning working well. Beach was kept very clean...unfortunately vendors were especially aggressive, so I ended up avoiding the beach after the first few days. I have visited Resorts where the vendors are in a roped off area like a little market and you visit them there...I would wonder if this might work at Gran Ventana. My only disappointment was that the evening entertainment consisted primarily of 'resort games'...perhaps some of the performers had time off for Christmas. I was there for 8 nights and saw only two 'choreographed' shows which were lackluster at best. Not what I was led to believe from the resort reviews. But I would definitely plan a repeat visit.

Great resort

The grounds of this resort are beautiful and very clean. Smaller resort with great staff. Food is very good and the alacartes are amazing. Very safe and can walk to a small mall at the road at end of resort. Only thing that I would suggest is they have 4 tables and chairs outside the buffet it would be nice to add at least 8 more table and chairs to sit and have a drink in the open air if you did not want to see the shows. .

Needs a lot of improvements

A/C leaking Paint peeling off on the inside of bathtub String for hanging wet bathing suits missing Toilet clogged and leaking Some rooms are missing art on walls Fridges get refilled with beer on some days but not daily Housekeeping takes the towels away at 9am, doesn't bring new ones until 2 hours or so later. If you want to shower in the morning - good luck Beach towels aren't always available - some mornings we had to wait an hour - there was a huge line waiting for the towels So [... read more]me rooms have recurring lock issues - either key cards don't open doors or on the 2nd or 3rd attempt The reservation line for dinner takes an hour to get through As we arrived for check in - an hour in line to get room key

Very enjoyable resort

Nice clean beach and immaculate grounds. Lots of good food and great assortment. Our room was in a great location and very clean. Staff very accommodating and friendly. Not far to airport. Check in and out was very efficient and fast.

Great resort!

Great resort for the price. Food was good, drinks were good and all 3 a-la-carts were very good. Great sandy beach that was very easy to get into -no rocks and gentle slope. We did upgrade to Junior Suite to get oceanview and get away from the pool. The resort was very busy But the service was still good. There were no ocean activities and very few beach umbrellas.

Great resort

Staff remember you and treat you like family. Everything is close ie pool, restaurants and beach. They always try to accommodate requests. Vendors are polite and not pushy. Security and lifeguard always on duty. Thank you to grand vantena for an amazing holiday and a special thank you to Beth at trip central for an easy booking experience as always

Excellent Resort

Very clean, housekeeping was excellent. Lake access was a short walk away. All amenities such as restaurants, bars, washrooms were all easily accessible. Staff were personable and helpful with all requests. Our request for a King Bed was accepted. We were on the ground floor and only steps away from anywhere on the resort.

Great resort

Stayed recently with a large group of friends. Rooms were clean and bright with excellent a/c. Pool and beach areas were great. Beach is great for long walks on nice hard sand. Food was excellent in the buffet area, and all of the ala carts. Most importantly the staff were amazingly friendly and accommodating. Will definitely return, and will recommend to friends and family.

Great Staff

The staff was very helpful. We had to change our room from the top floor to the ground floor as we had a baby in a stroller. took 4 days but after that we had a great time. we had to go for lunch off the resort sometimes for a better meal. they have lots of food but much of the dishes weren't to our tastes. the great thing is that they had the omelette stations and grilled meats. The water was a bit too wavy most days for a nice swim. but the long beach is just gorgeous beauti [... read more]ful beach

Recommended VH Gran Ventana

We had a fantastic time - again. This was our 7th vacation at VH Gran Ventana. We love the resort, accommodation and the friendly and amazing staff. We highly recommend VH Gran Ventana to everybody who wants to relax, disconnect and enjoy the permanent summer weather.

VERY GOOD RESORT

In general resort run well. On the beach you feel that you are on the mobile commercial/ market,,,I understand that it is important for local community but it should be more limited some how? Under wise I am coming home from bussness trip,,,it damage impression of the trip very much,,,

Lovely resort, would go back !

The smaller footprint makes for a very enjoyable experience getting from room to beach to food to bar... The taxi service to downtown is at the front door an a quick 10-15 minute trip. The staff was very friendly and special shout outs to Rosa, Felix and Adrian during breakfast/lunch service. Rosa in the evening and the two bartenders Andrea and Richardo! We had a junior suite - that overlooked the ocean - 3rd floor. plenty of space, bathroom had great water pressure, and hot water! Beach [... read more] was great and ok to snorkel. Food was amazing! One of our party has food sensitivity and allergies and there was always plenty (and tasty) options! All beaches in the DR are public, so be prepared to have vendors. Being polite goes a long way! We would definitely go back, unfortunately there are no direct flights schedule to POP from YWG. We departed from Toronto. From the POP airport to the resort ~30 minutes with traffic.

No complaints!

We had an amazing time at Grand Ventana! My boyfriend and I spent 4 nights there. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Very clean resort, food was good. Staff was amazing! Highly recommend taking a ride with Jose on the catamaran.
