Dominican Republic Hotels > 4 Stars Dominican Republic Hotels

BEWARE!!!

Advantages: Beach
Disadvantages: Nasty customer service and security

...Cana, Dominican Republic, read this!! Paradisus Punta Cana resort staff couldn't care less for its guests safety and wellbeing!! I would like to warn travellers who are traveling to Punta Cana about the bad experience we had at the Hotel Paradisus Punta Cana by Meliá this last July. We were robbed from the safety box in our room of all our cash and my wife´s credit card which was subsequently used in 5 different fraudulent store purchases that one ...
...evidence of violence (the safety box had been opened with a key, and locked again) that we should "just get cash with our other bank card, and just continue with our trip.!!" We received no apology nor satisfaction from the management, and have received no answer or explanation until this moment, and this is suposedly a 5 star hotel!! Better choose another hotel with more respect for its guests! Hernan Campos ...

Review of Paradisus Punta Cana, Punta Cana

Coral Costa Caribe - Great hotel!!

Advantages: Excellent hotel with lots of facilities
Disadvantages: Resort of Juan Dolio wasnt the greatest.

...- Juan Dolio - Coral Costa Caribe I came to the Coral Costa Caribe with my (now ex) boyfriend when we were both 19. We found the hotel was excellent. We loved the 24 hours all inclusive, the gardens of the hotel were lovely and the room was spacious with 2 double beds. Our room was very clean and was cleaned regularily. The food was nice but I cant remember much of what they had because its now over 2 years ago that I went. The resort of Juan ...
...only another few hotels in this resort so it wasn't catered well for tourists - which is great if that is what you want. But the hotel offered different sport to entertain you during the day - there was tennis courts, crazy golf, aqua aerobics, volley ball and other stuff. The staff at the hotel were very friendly, and even during rain (which could get really heavy) they would be in the sports bar doing games like Jenga, and sitting talking ...

Review of Costa Caribe Coral by Hilton, Juan Dolio

Victoria Beach and Golf Resort Dominican Republic

Advantages: Near the beach, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Poor management, insects in food, items stolen from rooms.

We stayed here in July 2008. The staff are lovely, friendly people who are over worked and underpaid. The bar and waiting staff are actually very clever people who speak many languages. They make most of their earnings from tips, so be generous (if you still want to go after reading this). I must stress that the entertainment, bar and waiting staff are fantastic, before I make my next point. We had a mobile phone stolen from our room and numerous ...
...from their rooms during our stay. Management will not accept or investigate these complaints. Management, do not know the meaning of customer sevice and can be abrupt & rude to both employees and staff. The all inclusive wrist bands are very flimsy and if (or when rather) they fall off, there is a $20 USD replacement charge. The rooms, toilets, pool and hotel itself are very clean however there are issues with the kitchen. On 2 occasions, there were ...

Review of Victoria Resort Golf & Beach, Puerto Plata

Riu Bachata, Dominican republic

Advantages: Friendly staff, clean hotel, good choice of food and fantastic weather
Disadvantages: Locals take over the place at the weekend

...all inclusive holiday at the Riu Bachata was perfect. The place was very clean, lots of choices of food, and plenty sports and entertainment facilities (if you're the energetic sort!) The staff are very friendly, the rooms are spacious, clean and come with optics containing vodka, rum, gin, and whisky, and a drinks fridge for mixers. All around the complex is drinks dispensers and bars ready to top up your pint pot or wine glass. The hotel is part ...
...into the complex and completely takeover the place, and if you're the adventurous sort, theres not much to do offsite locally. For me, I really enjoyed my 2 weeks at the Riu Bachata, myself and family enjoyed many relaxing days and enjoyable evenings, would definately recommend it! ...

Review of Riu Bachata Puerto Plata, Puerto Plata

Gran Ventana Beach Resort.

Advantages: Good service in the restaurants.
Disadvantages: No entertainment.

Over all our family holiday we had in the Dominican Republic was excellent and we really enjoyed it. The service in the restaurants was fantastic and the food at the hotel was good. However if you have got teenagers then there is nothing for them to do there during the day or at night. At night time the entertainment isn't very good, unless u enjoy drinking. Also the swim-up bar is adults only so children and teenagers can't get served. We had a ...
...and the bar man wouldn't serve them, I then asked for two soft drinks for them and he gave the drinks straight to the girls. Another thing is that when the hotel is busy then you can strugle to find a free sunbed. Overall though the holiday and the hotel was good, and we really had a good time. ...
