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 2012 & 2013.

Gran Ventana Beach Resort Reviews 2012

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.”
