Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Average resort

Average resort. Did not think it earned 5 stars. Resort was outdated. Housekeeping required specific instructions to complete tasks. After 11pm only bar open is at the disco which is 3 minutes down the road. Lobby bar is not even open. Inconvenient when you just want to stay in lobby and play games/chat/ watch tv.

Casa Marina Reef Resort: Excellent resort

5th time there. The renovations are amazing, this should be a 4 - 4.5 star resort now. 7 days of nice friendly staff and great food with warm sun and beach. Safe area to walk into town for shopping and see their market.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Great Resort

Very clean resort grounds, small resort that you could easily access all facilities, they even had wheel chair accessible area at the beach. Couldn't spend afternoon on the beach as wind picked up and felt like you were being sand blasted. Would recommend getting a garden view room if you're interested in a quieter room. Luckily we were able to use resort credits and extra cash to upgrade to ocean view room otherwise we would have been facing service buildings. Front desk said king beds were  [... read more]not available in regular rooms. Lots of loungers at the beach and pool. Buffet and pool were very crowded on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with a lot of locals .. perhaps empty rooms were rented out to locals??? Staff were out early on beach collecting seaweed that was washed up on beach. You typically had to go through approximately 1 or 2 feet of seaweed when getting into the water, although we usually found a path through it.

VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort: Great vacation

This is the smallest resort we have ever been to. With a 5months old and a 5 years old, this was the perfect place for our first vacation as a family of 4 with the grand parents. We went during low season (beginning of may) so the resort was not at full capacity but everything was running except activities at the beach were limited Pros: check in was fast and exactly what we asked for when we booked. rooms had a communicating door with the grandparents that made it very convenient for us. We [... read more] had two rooms on the main floor close to the pool. Every thing is close, from the room to the pool to the restaurant to the theatre to the beach to the lobby. All is within 5 minutes from each other. Food was good and the 3 à la carte restaurants were nice and easy to book. Activities at the pool were fun and the pool is very nice and safe especially for younger ones (the shallow section was graduel like a natural beach). It was easy to find spots both at the pool and the beach. Snorkelling was amazing at the beach, lots of reef accessible and many beautiful fish Cons: Since the place is affordable, a lot of younger loud groups were there and made it less relaxing of a trip. I don’t know if it is because it is the beginning of hurricane season but the wind was very strong in the afternoon and we couldn't stay at the beach. However at the pool we could barely feel any wind so we did beach in the morning and pool in the afternoon. The resort got flooded with locals on the weekend and it got very crowded and loud. Rooms need updating and cleaning service would always take all towels at the beginning of the day and bring new ones only at the end of the day which was unacceptable but once we told them how annoyed we were they started doing our room early and replace our towels immediately. Before going i read many reviews about this place and i can agree with the majority who said that this place is home away from home.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Nice resort

Service in restaurants and bars very good. The fan in our room did not work. Advised them of this 4 times and was told they would send somebody right over but nobody ever showed up. Resort very clean and staff friendly.

Cofresi Palm Beach and Spa Resort: Great resort

Nice room with a beautiful pool and beach view, close proximity to all amenities, friendly and helpful staff, great food, the Al La Carts wee awesome. Overall good experience. Would recommend to family and friends

Viva Heavens by Wyndham: Wonderful time!

This resort may be small but it is all you need for the perfect little vacation! Food was great, Italian a la carte was personally my favourite, just opened a little later than the other restaurants, but that’s just more time to enjoy the beautiful beach while you wait! The entertainment team was great! Always doing something by the pool or the beach. The sales people on the beach were a little relentless but that’s to be expected. The foam party was super fun! Can’t think of a complaint a [... read more]bout this resort!

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Fantastic time

This resort was a fantastic place for a wedding and for a large group. The staff were abundant and very helpful. The grounds were always clean. I wished there had been bars open later and with better service, however, the drinks were always delicious.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Nice stay

Had a nice stay with family and friends to celebrate a wedding, staff very nice and helpful. Food was adaquate but did not have trouble finding something to eat, rooms outdated but clean resort . Long distance to excursions and airport.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Good for a week away

The resort itself is beautiful and quiet, staff are friendly and there's plenty to do on resort. It's the only resort for quite a distance so the beach isn't too crowded, it is quite a drive for most off resort activities.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Awesome place

Was satisfied with all. Had a great time the service was great the rooms were clean the only thing I did not like was to put toilet paper in a waste can instead of toilet to me that is not sanitary the beach was nice with plenty of chairs for every one the intertainment was great and also loved the games they play around and in the pool hope some day we will return

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Great resort for Wedding

We just recently had our wedding at this resort and. Everything was amazing! The food, the atmosphere, the grounds... We werr a group of 60 that all attended the resort at the same time. It is a Great place to host a wedding! The only complainswe had was that it was far from the airport, you feel like your in the middle of nowhere. The service at the pool bar in the afternoon was very slow and took them forever to serve you, you were better off getting out and walking to another bar.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Grand Bahia Principe San Juan in Playa Grande Area

I found the rooms were a little aged, grounds were beautiful, and food was awesome. The bus ride to the resort from the airport is further than I expected. The bartenders were extremely slow and under staffed.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Somewhat disappointing

We returned to this hotel after 17 years and were a little disappointed in the changes, not positive ones. We arrived to an unacceptably dirty room, sheets had feces on them. We called to have it rectified only to find out they changed the sheets only and not the dirty blanket. The bed was made with the dirty blanket. We did not have outdoor lights at our building during our entire stay when other buildings did. This was rectified the day before we left after complaining to the general mana [... read more]ger. The only thing that was good was the staff were very friendly and kind.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Ok resort for the price

Ok but not organized for the a la carte restaurant. They were saying to us that it was booked. They even closed one a la carte restaurant during our stay The wine was not the best quality. It was watered down. I was surprise to see that we could not drink the water from the tap.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Fantastic

This hotel was beautiful. The grounds are immaculate, the food amazing, staff are absolutely fantastic. Rooms were clean and nurse onsite goes above and beyond. Wish we could've stayed another week to enjoy more of this resort. Air transat was also amazing. I wont fly with anyone else.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Great time spent

The vacation was great, the staff was very friendly, the food in the buffet had a lot of options and the a la crate Mediterranean was great. The disco and married were a lot of fun as well, the beach was beautiful,

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: pretty, renovated!

This has been my second trip to Dominican and I had a great time. The rooms were always kept clean and they’re renovated, as well as the beds were super comfy which I’m not used to having at resorts!! drinks are good, pool is great, beach is beautiful and has awesome waves which was fun to swim in (be careful of the undertow) the resort provides boogie boards and kayaks for free which I thought was cool. The food was good, I’ve definitely had better but I’m also a very picky eater, my bo [... read more]yfriend loved the food. My only complaint is that the entertainment at night wasnt very lively, I didn’t mind because I don’t care for it as much but I know a lot of people expect great entertainment to end their day. I would definitely like to try out the other Wyndham resorts.

Viva Tangerine by Wyndham: Family Resort

Pros : Beautiful beach. Gardens are well maintained. Restaurants are very good. Cons: Not sure why they say superior room. It is standard. No fridge. Small bathroom. Note: the patio door locked by itself. You can stay stuck on the balcony...not fun when you are on the 3rd floor... In the evening, it is boring. No entertainment, No music, no atmosphere. The people in the lobby play games, or they look at their phones...or they drink..If you don t have a game to play it can be very boring.The [... read more] shows at the theater are not every night. The chairs at the beach are side by side...No umbrellas...
