Hotels on first line in Puerto Plata

The staff are amazing and work very hard. The beach is nice and lots of chairs, it's never an issue to find a seat. Very close to go into town for a day of shopping

The grounds and beach are beautiful. There is always people cleaning up any debris including seaweed on the beach

For the price we paid, it’s decent. It’s a good place for an average vacation with a great beach! The beach was very good with lots of high waves! Rooms, outdoor areas, and landscapes are kept clean and looking good

Seemed to be a lot less crowded. I would definitely go again for the price. People will put their towels on them and never sit on them. More than once I threw peoples towels off them so others could use them

Next day came back from beach to shower and only had one towel. I do plan on returning next year. I enjoyed seeing Soto around the bar. He was always singing and picking up glasses and straightening up chairs

The food was delicious and diversified, especially the fruits. Mine favorite was melon water 🍉. The beach was good not excellent, but good. The stuff was gently and discreet, ever in position

As far as the entertainment goes it's OK but the animation staffed could be more engaging with families instead of single ladies. I recommend bringing your own pool balls for the kids as they don't have any

Drinks were plentiful and delicious. The main pool was busy, but we found the quiet pool over by the Italian restaurant where there also was another complex of rooms

Tours are expensive in house your best bet is to speak to someone at the beach for any tours

The food was delicious, so many options to choose from! Our room was cleaned daily, bathroom was very clean and EVERYTHING worked! The staff go above and beyond to help you enjoy your stay

So I kinda don't want this little jewel to be known to everyone but I will share this is now our favorite mini getaway. If you need some rest and relaxation this is your place to reset

The rooms are above average clean and comfortable. The food is good- award winning Chef on board. Mostly the staff are all amazing, genuinely friendly kind hearts 💕

I loved everything at Cofresi palm beach, I was going to cancel my reservation for the reviews I read and thanks God I didn't because I was going to regret

Room looked nice but lots of things didn’t work and They didn’t tell us about the toilet situation until late. View was amazing on the beach. Wouldn't visit again or recommend

We were very surprised that check-in is at 3PM, they don't let you enter before, you have to wait sitting in the lobby. Thank goodness they started allowing check-in at 2PM and we managed to eat at the buffet

On the third day, my partner and I's ankles started to bother us and it became a little difficult for us to walk. There is a bar everywhere, although it is also true that the drinks are not the best

I had booked a 3-night stay at this resort and 1 day before I started reading other people's reviews. I was scared and my expectations were very low, but I'm glad I didn't cancel

The room was not ready, but it was delivered to us at 3:40PM. Due to the reviews I had read, we decided to upgrade to VIP and they changed our bracelet to a blue one

Place has a very amazing view between beach and mountains, mattresses are a little to hard, all the employees were very nice and helpful, pool is big and well maintained, my boyfriend only had an issue with a cleaning lady that she wouldn’t let him go in the bathroom without a towel just because he was wet

The beach was well kept, the pool was cleaned every other night I believe, and if anything I'd say food was okay, nothing fancy and not really super my taste, but in general a good place to spend a week or so

Buffet was not a huge selection but there was 3 other restaurants to choose from for supper and the snack bar serves hot dogs, burgers, fries and other things until at least 1am. Wish the pool was open later than 7pm

Room didn't have a place to sit inside and beds are very uncomfortable. Though the location of our room was perfect, we were able to walk off our deck and practically into the pool

Nice resort , with nice layout and view of the mountain and it’s a good location. Most importantly I can’t say enough about the entertainment staff at the poolside

They made everyday enjoyable when hanging out at the pool, especially Carlos S. !!! Friendliest staff member I have ever met at any resort

Food is great! Activities were so much fun! Activity staff were a blast! Always laughing. Room was clean, but had a very musty smell. View from back of building 3 not great, but we didn’t spend much time in our room

We just came back from this hotel and I have just one word to say. All the staff were so friendly. Medrano and Stephanie and Perla and the rest of the team did an amazing job in making our stay special

The pool bar was always busy and stocked. I have to say we will be back soon

Cons: - The food could be better. - The beach: filled with seaweed and multiple people coming to offer us things. Very annoying and discouraged us to go to the beach

- Only one pool for the whole resort, so limited space. Overall, the resort was kid friendly, clean and the staff were nice. Thank you to the all staff that made this an enjoyable time :)

Additionally, the spa and leisure facilities provide the perfect retreat for relaxation. With its prime location for exploration, this hotel is an ideal choice for travelers seeking both comfort and adventure

They have theme restaurants for which you don’t need a reservation which is nice. There’s only one big pool and a smaller one. the setup of this resort is not conducive to visiting the beach

As a matter of fact, they recommend you to enjoy the pool instead of the beach. The service received at all restaurants, the bartenders, the front desk, the cleaning staff was great

It's the perfect location, perfect size and the food is always so good! We requested the same room as last time as in my opinion it's the best location (16103, SunClub family section) and we got it! Obviously requests aren't guaranteed, but they definitely came through for us 😃

This was our second time at this resort and it was just as good as our last visit. We are absolutely devastated for it to be closing at the end of April

This Resort is a little outdated. I’ve heard that they are turning it into condominiums and the chain is building a new resort nearby. The buffet has limited options

Unfortunately though, I don’t think I will be going back to the resort

loved it. The staff were extremely courteous and friendly. Location of the pool, the lounge and the beach were conveniently located.

Great part of the hotel. Nice employee and great atmosphere. Calm and relaxing holiday you will have for sure. And if you like business and entertainment you walk 2 min to the other pool and you can enjoy that

CEEOO-Part (Adults only): Great. Good Cocktails, good Service, seperate Eatingplace, nice quiet Beach. Normal location: Classical AI-Hotel.

Checked in to The Grand Paradise on Saturday and I absolutely love it here. It is beyond beautiful and the service at Cooee is amazing. Everyone here really goes the extra mile to make you happy, I never want leave.

Can recommend the upgrade to cooee as it gives your stay besides an exclusive touch, access to vip area, a frequently changing snack bar as well as table service

Amazing Hotel, very clean, good drinks and chilled atmosphere

The buffet food is average at best, but they have several small restaurants that offer higher quality options at no additional cost. The pool is nothing special and the entertainment is subpar

Delicious food, clean room and beach. Helpful staff. Quite guests. Room is a bit small (the bliss room) and it is not a luxury hotel. Good value overall for the price.

Typical all-inclusive resort that checks most boxes on what you would expect. The property isn't too big, and there's a path that leads you on a 5 min walk to the beach

The check-in process takes way too long, even when it's done online beforehand. The lobby has a glass roof and no fans, so it can get uncomfortably hot if you're waiting around

The big hotel groups are pulling out and the smaller resorts have to fill their capacity with local weekend guests and day visitors from the cruise ships

Also, all restaurants are not open every night so we were only able to try 2 of them. My biggest criticism is the sales pitch for the Viva membership

***** and you can also dine at Italian, Mexican and Dominican restaurant, you can choose to sit at the beach and enjoy their full service snack restaurant. I gave the resort a full 5 star

helpful for Great time ! lots of activities at the pool for everyone

Nice but need updating. Bar tenders overwhelmed with very small crowd. Main pool bar thatch roof is ugly with large holes (Gran Ventana Resort).

There is a kids pool which is nice

This is an Honest review from a Canadian who travels frequently. DO NOT read the reviews from folks who travel here from within the D. R ( Latin Names) Read the ones from Canadians, Americans etc

Thank you general manager Henry Uloa, for taking time to look after your guests, i personally want to thank him for his his help. Manny) helped us with our photo shoot

There are 2 big pools and one mini pool (plenty of space to relax) and the beach is just a quick walk over the bridge. We loved that it was all inclusive and adult only as well

We had our honeymoon here and it was the best destination we made. The staff was very attentive even before we arrived, guiding us with reserving all the honeymoon extras like breakfast in bed and a wonderful massage

I recently stayed at Blue Bay Resort in the Dominican Republic, and it was fantastic. The entertainment staff is phenomenal, special Jesus Vasquez ensuring guests have a great time with fun activities and performances

The customer service is exceptional, with staff always ready to help and make your stay comfortable. The nighttime disco is a highlight, providing an energetic and fun atmosphere to dance and enjoy the evening

From the moment I checked in to the moment I left, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. It truly made my stay memorable and I can't wait to come back again in the future

Everyone was very nice and the service from everyone was fantastic, especially Lebron the bartender! I will recommend to all my family and friends and will definitely be coming back!

Porno

Well

Nice hotel very quiet

This place is a must stay for this area. It is small, gorgeous, and the customer service is top notch with some of the kindest people you could hope to find. You cannot beat the rooftop pool and beach area

The pool area is very nice and something different

Breakfast was excellent. Served on a terrace overlooking the beach. Good choice and friendly service.I would recommend the fruit plate with locally grown passion fruit and fresh passion fruit juice.

We went to several resorts in the Dominican and went to every Spa to get a couple massage BUT Bagua Spa is the BEST we ever experienced- well done to the ladies !!! We look forward to come back and stay longer

From the minute we walked in, to the minute we departed So much detail in the architecture the scenery and the entire staff was 💯 on point. The service was beyond amazing. They accommodate our every needs

We stayed in the Junior Suite Lanai with Ocean Front and our room was cleaned and smelled so good there was even a fruit basket to welcome us and the view from our room was stunning

The food is delicious, the rooms are very nice and confortable, the beach and the pool are beautiful, as well as the landscape towards the beach

I stayed here for 3 days in April 2018. The reviews about disrepair are accurate and some of the food is just average. That said, the staff was perfectly polite and helpful. Despite the disrepair, the place is immaculate

The buffets are a solid B+ if you pick the right things (target made-to-order stuff). One of the groundskeepers gave me a coconut today after he cut it from a tree

At 55$ a night, this place was an UNBELIEVABLE deal and I do not understand the venom in some of these negative reviews

While writing this review, some random elderly man walked into the lobby piano and started playing concert-quality

The staff and the service are great and the night presentations are really interesting. I strongly recommend this place to relax on vacation as you feel home

Been coming here for 7 years and still love it

Tranquility! Food and drinks few steps away!

Best place and vacation ever!

Food and drinks are reasonably well prepared considering it's on a colossal scale. All the staff were well trained and very pleasant to interact with. Their beach is a little skimpy. Take the sales tour at your own risk

We come here every year. It's beautiful and the Dominican people are so happy and friendly. We love it here. We own our villa and are looking to rent it out for people looking for a great vacation getaway.

Only got to stay a couple nights but that was enough. Very nice rooms and great housekeepers. Don't understand why they charge so much for wifi. When we reminded them we were VIP they belatedly corrected that

Could’ve been better if it had free wifi. This hotel is for people who like the quiet peaceful atmosphere and great for elderly people who just want to take a break and enjoy relaxing under the shade

When we showered, all we got was cold water. Again when we went to the front desk and reminded them we had upgraded to VIP (extra $) we got the hot water turned on immediately

They make frequent stops to refresh your rum drink before heading back to the sales office

Located where you can get access to all the town around within an hour. The service from the staff is great they are attentive. I didn't spend a lot of time at the resort

However from what I see a family can stay on the resort and have many activities to be a part of. And they do off inclusive and non inclusive stays
