“Have been to the hotel when known as The Paradise Beach and was happy to return to what is one of the best spots in Playa Dorada. Rooms are nice and modern so that’s a nice change and we were glad they haven’t changed the terrace / outside buffet area, it is great. Casino wasn’t open yet.”

Puerto Plata Village Hotel Review 2010

“Booked the Puerto Plata Village through Monarch and flew with Thomas Cook, liked the food and rooms, very well maintained and got “upgraded”. Better than we expected for a Dom Rep 3 star as friends had said 4 star was minimum to consider so got a bit nervous. Only “1″ pool but how many do you need!”

Viva Wyndham Playa Dorada Reviews

“Really friendly hotel, from the staff to the other guests. The main restaurant buffet was average but the A la Carte restaurants are superb”

” Been to Playa Dorada four times and first time here to the Viva Wyndham. Five minutes to the beach but no problem getting a nice spot with sunbeds. Kids loved the beach restaurant – pizzas are very good. Food in buffet OK, always enjoyed Brekkie. Thai restaurant was great. Good atmosphere, lots of Canadians. Overall would like to go back as staff so friendly, they are renovating so will check in 2010 see how the prices are. Don’t mind paying a bit more for the Gran Ventana though which is closer to beach and better food “

Gran Ventana, Playa Dorada, Hotel Review

Gran Ventana Beach Resort is a very popular choice for an All Inclusive holiday in Playa Dorada. Consistently delivering good holidays it’s no surprise that the Gran Ventana is offered by almost all the tour operators to Playa Dorada. Being right on the beach, the Gran Ventana offers a real Caribbean holiday with palm trees and cocktails. It’s a large complex with over 500 rooms but it’s well planned and made up of low rise blocks in attractive gardens. An excellent choice for families, thanks to the friendly staff, kids club and pool. The Gran Ventana is one of the best selling Playa Dorada hotels for 2010 & 2011.

2) Thomson.co.uk – Book a package to the Gran Ventana with flights by Thomson Airways who have increased their longhaul legroom.

3) Portlandholidays.co.uk – Well worth checking as you can sometimes pick up the Gran Ventana cheaper than Thomson but with the same flights & transfers.

4) FirstChoice.co.uk – Also part of the Thomson family and well worth checking as holidays are priced separately.

5) Thomascook.com – Will show up availability / prices for the Gran Ventana from Thomas Cook / direct holidays / Sunset and Airtours.

The main pool features a swim up bar and there’s also a children’s pool and a quiet pool for those that just want to chill out on holiday.

Gran Ventana Beach Resort Reviews 2010

“Third time to The Gran Ventana in 2009 and will definitely be going again, from the moment you check in and have a welcome cocktail you start to relax and get into holiday mode. Really friendly staff across the board, great food ( we love The Octopus restaurant). I get the impression there is more Brits / less Americans at Gran Ventana than other hotels.”

“We are quite fussy eaters but the food at The Gran Ventana was excellent. I loved breakfast buffet best of all. The best thing about the hotel is the gorgeous beach, the “free” drinks and all the helpful staff. Would love to return.”

“The swimming pools and beach and really well looked after – very clean. Service at the pool bar is fast. Gardens are immaculately well kept, gardeners constantly working on the lawn, tending the plants and flowers ”

“The evening entertainment at the Barcelo on Playa Dorada was amongst the best I’ve seen in quite a while (I travel a lot). The dancers, the Caribbean music and the costumes it was extravagant and you could see a lot of effort had gone into the shows.”

Casa Colonial Beach & Spa is a post from the Playa Dorada Holidays website which offers Dom Rep Deals from UK.

Casa Colonial, Playa Dorada, Hotel Review

Casa Colonial Beach & Spa is a tasteful, luxury resort that is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. From the same owners of the Victoria Golf Resort and the Gran Ventana but quite different from either hotel, the Casa Colonial is all about fine dining, world class service and luxurious surroundings. Dropped by major UK tour operators since it cannot provide high volumes of bookings you can still book a holiday to the Casa Colonial by combining charter flights from the likes of flyThomasCook and the Casa Colonial all in one booking. You can do that, directly on this site, with the search box on the left, or over at Expedia.co.uk. Why not try both ?

Book a holiday to The Casa Colonial Beach & Spa 2010 & 2011:

With only 50 suites at the hotel and demand from all over the world, the Casa Colonial does get fully booked so advanced booking are advised.

Casa Colonial Beach & Spa Reviews 2010

“We would come back to The Casa Colonial in a heartbeat, especially as it isn’t an all inclusive so you can get real feel for the Dominican Republic“.

“Casa Colonial is by far the best hotel I have stayed at in the Dominican Republic, this includes; Punta Cana, Cabarete, Santo Domingo and Santiago. The junior suite we had was immaculate and very well appointed. The food was amazing and served with professionalism. This is not a hotel for those looking for “all inclusive” or a party atmosphere. This is a hotel for anyone looking to get away and relax with a loved one.”
