Same Value As Sosua Bay - Some Staff Need Improvement
-
Coconut Beach Lover
- Jan 18, 2012
The Victorian House shares the same amenities as Sosua Bay Resort. There is not much of a difference in the two. This is my second time at this resort and I have stayed at both. Either or is as good as the other. For the money it is an ok place to stay. However next time I will look for a non all-inclusive hotel that has good ratings and stay there. The food was ok but I didn't try most of it because most of it did not look good to me. I tried every single desert they had and did not like any of them. The al a carte is ok without being great. The best part of it I guess would be the views and the candle light meals. Most of the staff were friendly but I have complaints about two of the staff. The guy working the pool bar stood in front of me chatting with his buddy for a full five minutes before he would even acknowledge my existance. He also did this to another tourist. There was an incident during the buffet dinner in which I was standing at the front of the line right in front of the cook and he did not acknowledge my existance until all of the spanish speaking customers had been served first. Spanish speaking customers and local Dominicans cut right to the front of the line to be served first before any of the white people were served. I wanted to complain to management but I didn't feel as though there was any person who was clearly in charge or who would take a complaint seriously. I was disgusted with the shameless racism that the cook displayed and I was offended. There was an African American there that was just as surprised as I was. In this way the resort did not make me feel like a valuable customer. If I were to go back to Sosua I would not stay at this resort because the quality and variety of tasty food is lacking. There is plenty of food but most of it did not look good. It would probably be a better deal to stay at a cheaper non all-inclusive hotel and eat out at restaurants. By the way not all the staff treated white people like second class people compared to the spanish speaking people at the resort. I have read reviews from other hotels and resorts and apparantly this type of racism occurs often in resorts throughout the Dominican Republic.

i stayed for a week, overall was pretty good, my only problem was that the hotel don't have regular electric outlet in the room, if you need to charge your computer, phone, or just to connect anything else you need to buy an adapter otherwise you won't. while i was there i ate at the same restaurant, i didn't want to go to try a different one because the food was just amazing.the place is beautiful, you won't regret it. I'm planning to come back.

GW from the Burgh
- Nov 14, 2011
The hotel was in a good location. The club Pure (casino is next to Pure) was where it was at and is walking distance from the hotel. The staff was awesome and everyone around the hotel was just as helpful. The resort is very strict on guest. The food during the week is TERRIBLE, but on the weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun) is not as terrible. Also, this hotel is a family hotel so for a single guy I would check alternatives. There is no free internet and the phones in the room work when they want.

Hotel and staff was very nice. Loved the swim up bar and the beech. Room was always clean along with clean towels and sheets. Food was OK. Didn't like the breakfast buffet and wish that the dinner and lunch buffet could have been more latin foods, it was mostly american foods, but it did its job. And I couldn't find the 24hr snack bar. Didn't like the fact that every corner you turn someone is trying to sale you something. People in the hotel, people in front of the hotel and people on the beech. I did love the hotel and I would go back.......

Wonderful Surprise
-
Mar and Mike
- Jan 28, 2012
We were pleasantly surprised at how wonderful the food was at this hotel in the general buffet area - we don't know how they do it with all the people they have to serve -- two super great hostesses greeting us also and the wait staff tried to get you coffee and drinks as soon as they could.
It is a lovely place with a wonderful pool (and pool bar), a great buffet dining area, a really nice snack bar by the beach and a bar for night time right by the stage/lobby. They had entertainment every night and it was good! Many chairs by pool to use and we never didn't find a good location - also the chairs by the lobby area are wonderful - very comfortable. It is the prettiest beach I have ever seen and there are tons of lounges and cabanas there also -- no trouble finding one. The marketplace on the beach was good and the prices were good also.
I wish there were more comfortable chairs in the actual rooms so you could read better and the lighting was very dim. The rooms were very clean and the cleaning staff was very friendly.
Check out the gift shop at the hotel -- prices negotiable and nice items.
We would definitely go back!!!!! We are telling family and friends how wonderful it was - we had perfect weather but it had rained 4 days before we got there -- it was 80 degrees and low humidity when we were there mid January. We had 6 straight days of sunshine. You might want to check out weather patterns so you don't run into rain.
Golf at this facility -- my husband liked it. Church nearby on Sunday for mass.
Thanks to the staff at this wonderful hotel. My husband and I loved being at the Gran Ventana beach resort.

Pro's: The staff is wonderful, friendly, accomodating.
The location to the airport only 15 minutes is convenient. The layout and accessibility to the beach is great. Nice beach, plenty of beach chairs. Good food, and plenty of options for the week to switch it up for dinner. Appreciated the "quiet pool" area although some quests didn't get the memo and needed to be reminded.
Con's: I was very dissapointed to learn that there were no bicycles or windsurfing which were advertised and were a factor in my choosing this resort. I feel that this was false advertising on the part of both the hotel and Cheap Carribean website.

Lovely low key relaxing vacation spot

mom and daughter
- Feb 28, 2011
I really did not want to leave after seven days. This is the middle of three Riu resorts on northern coast in Puerto Plata, and I like to think the best. Lovely location with incredible landscaping, immaculately manicured. Two story buildings in lovely pastel colors are situated in gardens with tree lined paths leading to beach or reception or dining halls.
The beach is filled with trees, palm and others, so you can sit in shade or sun. The beach faces Atlantic in northerly direction. Beach is raked almost daily to clean up fallen leaves from trees. Really impressive, the effort put into landscaping maintenance.
There is a pool but I much prefer the beach. Pool seemed to be choice for families. There are talapas for shade if you like.
The biggest decision you'll need to make here is when to eat. Dining is buffet style with lots of variety and freshly prepared foods. Chefs are at a number of stations cooking more food as needed. There are culinary themes during the week: Dominican, Chinese, Mexican. Fantastic pizza made in a wood burning pizza oven in the dining hall.
Rooms are simple and kept nicely cleaned. Beds could have been more comfortable but each room has a nice terrace. Front desk very accomodating about a requested room change.
We spent all our time outdoors in the glorious weather. The location is unspoiled and does not feel crowded. There are plenty of day trips you can take, but I was really into the beach and swimming and sunning. Very relaxing week and looking. forward to returning.

I enjoyed my six day stay at Barcelo. The food was delicious (especially the Mexican & Brazilian) and the staff were friendly, but it would have been easier if the staff had spoken more English. At times it was hard to communicate with some of them for simple requests. If you don't mind tons of children running around the resort then this is the place for you! It's super kid-friendly. Overall, Barcelo certainly doesn't have that four (4) star appeal but it was worth the money. I'd definitely recommend it to others.

I have stayed at 5 star resorts all over the world. From the Breakers, to the Ritz, to the Penninsula in Hong Kong. My expectations were somewhat tempered by seeing some of the surrounding hotels and area however I was nothing short of amazed at everything about the hotel and staff. Usually in the carribean the beaches are great and the food is so-so. Not the case here. The food was outstanding. The staff was the most attentive I have ever seen. The rooms we large and clean and very up to date. I will never visit another carribean island again. You get far more than you pay for here. I cannot say enough good things about Casa Colonial. I will say it's not really for children. But if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway this is the place.

couples beach trip
- Sep 25, 2011
we had a great time, no problems and would defintely go back again and again....only suggestions: 1-add an ATM somewhere on the resort for extras like snorkeling and tips to extrodinary staff, better wine especially at the reservation dinners than the buffet just to set it apart a bit ( I am not really a wine person but box-wine is better than this stuff), and less salt in the cooked veggies and soups
.....but really these were small things and we had the best vacation we could have asked for!!

Pastchief
- Nov 28, 2011
The hotel was good, the staff were pleasant, BUT on the weekends from Friday at 3:00 pm to Sunday at 1:00 pm the hotel books all the vacant rooms to the locals, when the local guests are on the resort the vacationers are neglected as the hotel does not put on additional staff to handle the influx of guests and also the locals are rude to the staff and vacationers they butt in line they walk in front of you as if you were not even there, they walk into you and look at you as if you did something wrong and don’t have very good manners. Over all I would go back again but ensure I had plans on Friday Saturday and Sundays
The food was so so if you like pork and Chicken as that was the primary lunch and dinner meals

The resort is beautiful. Checking in was a breeze. The staff at the check in were friendly and the bell boy was helpful with the suitcases. The room was beautiful, huge bed with a balcony. They stock the little fridge with a gallon of water and a 20ounce sprite or coke. They only gave us one key which was fine because it was just me and my boyfriend, but if you're traveling with more people, i can see that being potentially annoying. The buffet restaurant is right by the beach. It was a beautiful view of the beach. Okay, let's talk food; good but not great. The a la cartes were good but not great, to me it seem to have the same flavors at the buffet; a la cartes not worth it. the appetizers and desserts served were the same as the buffet. The orange juice has to be tang, not fresh. The servers, bartenders super friendly. The entertainers, blue, blacky, etc, were amazing. They made this place fun with games, preparing shows for us. They are the heart and soul of grand paradise. They presented us with a show on the beach with fireworks, AMAZING!! There were no lifeguards on the beach so it was a bit scary but the water is beautiful, barely any waves. There were no umbrella's set out on the beach so, wear sunscreen or you will get burn. You can sit under some trees to get some shade, but you don't get a good view of the beach even though you are on the beach. The pool closed at 7pm and both my boyfriend and I were a bit upset about this. We stayed 7 days. After the 5th day, we were sick and tired of the food. The casino is terrible, so itsy bitsy small. There's a movie theater at the plaza which is outside of the resort. Ohh, also there's the yellow shirt guys who try to get you to join their royal vacation club. We sat thru the presentation, told them we couldn't afford it. They can be a bit annoying. They activities they have are worth it. I loved kayaking. We did the dune buggy's-not worth it. They need to fix the dune buggy's, too many people's buggy's kept breaking down and we had to wait for sometimes 15 mins at a time. it was annoying. We both got traveler's diarrhea during the last two days there. Overall, good trip. Will not be returning anytime soon. This was my first vaca/resort trip. Now i know what i want.

It was ok, same food every day even at the restaraunts. The airconditioner was noisy, if you wanted a hot shower, you were outta luck. There were WAY TOO MANY beach peddlers, it took away from the relaxation that we were there for. People were great at ripping you off, they want to start at 500% more than what something is actually worth. Not a lot to do. Paradise Island, was defintely nothing like it looked in the pictures, snorkling was ok, but thats about it. Weather this time of year, not the greatest either.. should have gone further south I guess to have HOT weather. Water temp was ok, but not the Caribbean blue I was hoping for. I think I overpaid for my stay, but otherwise it wasn't too bad.

I travelled with 2 grown boys (young men really) and we were left wanting a little more quiet and/or adult activities .... we managed by booking from outside.
However, I did notice that the staff took extra efforts to make the really young comfortable... taking the time to walk them individually or in really small groups around the various areas - to include the buffet area. The parents were able to just relax while the staff showed the kids where/how/how much to get at the buffet!

Not perfect but we had a great time. The staff was very helpful and very polite. The room was nice but the TV rarely worked and the phone in our room never worked.
The buffet was fair and I am not sure what exactly was used for ketchup and syrup but they were a little "off". The a la carte restaurants were excellent. I preferred the Brazilian and the Mexican but my boyfriend preferred the gourmet restaurant. Either way all 3 were quite good.
The beach was the best around. Just plain beautiful.
If you are a stickler for perfection you will find all the faults but just relax and enjoy the beauty.
There is always more than enough to drink!

Anna
- Jul 10, 2011
The location is great. However, the staff members not always attentive to you. Yes, they are friendly, but still, might forget to bring what you ask, or even ask what you want. sometimes it was much easier to get what you want by yourself, because there were no staff members around you, or they even did not bother come to you. The food was ok, every night there was a certain theme, however, there was not so many choices to choose from. Almost same food every night. Also, sometimes, the food was not tasty at all. Room was ok, not big, but not small at the same time. They do clean rooms every day. That is a good plus! However, if something is not working, do not even bother to go to reception and ask about fixing it. They will not do anything. My balcony room was not opening, and even that I did ask for checking what was wrong, no one even came to do it.Still, because of not paying a lot of attention to all these details, it was a good time! The other bad thing, is that they do close the beach very early. Also, no internet in the room, or at other places. They only connection which you can get is on the beach, and lobby area. At the lobby they do charge for internet, in the beach they do not. They do have wi fi there, but at six o'clock they turn it off, because it is the time when the beach is closing.

Better than expected

Lovestotravel
- Jul 6, 2011
For the price I paid it was better than I expected. For the most part, the group of 9 other family members I traveled with expressed the same sentiment. The VIP beach area was great, however, the beach itself wasn't nice. Rough waves and harsh sand mixed with shells. Not the type of beach you can relax in. The room was average and clean. The food was above average and I always found something that I liked. We only ate at the buffet for the 6 days we were there and it did start to get redundant. The drinks were awesome and top shelf at VIP beach. Front desk service was a hit or miss. I was told one thing by a receptionist and then told another by a different receptionist then I felt she was blaming me for the mix up. It eventually was resolved so I didn't let it affect my trip. Overall for the price I paid, I think I got way more my money's worth.

Wonderful Getaway

Veronica
- Aug 7, 2010
My boyfriend and I went for a week in August, we LOVED the beach- the water was beautiful, warm, and clear, but some areas did have rocks. For the most part, no one was ever on it except on week ends the locals would come to the resort and some week days they would hang out at on the beach. They never bothered anyone, but it did get more crowded. Yet, on other days it was at though we were the only people there and had our own private beach.
The location was great and the city is very safe. We took a cab into town to eat at Captain Steve's. The cab ride there and back was $10, and all you did was tell the driver what time to come back and get you. You could feel the breeze at the restaurant and the prices were great, food too!
Sadly, some nights at the resort the buffet food was awful- just make sure to make the reservations for their specialty dinner nights, the food was better and atmosphere was romantic and more comfortable-air conditioned too. The rooms were plain and outdated, our phone, TV remote, and fridge didn't work, but we didn't spend much time in the room. Overall, I would go back.

Not terrible but wouldn't go back

Caribbean Traveler
- Apr 2, 2010
The facilities at this resort are ok, but the food and the service are terrible. Beautiful beach, a few daytime activities, clean rooms... but the place is a little run down, falling apart a little. Overall it's not bad but it is very noisy, the staff is too in your face to do things when you are relaxing, they don't stop peddlers from bothering you on the beach, and the food is just plain terrible. The trip was fun because we made it fun but I would not go back to Puerta Plata, let alone that resort.

The food is bad. I had the runs for days. My parents are from DR. I don't recommend anyone going to this hotel. Its a bad experience for a typical tourist. The best thing about the hotel is that it's next to CoCO Bongo's which is the hottest night club in Puerto Plata. NO LCD/PLASMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stayed for 10 days and had a wonderful time. Hotel was very, very quiet and offered no animation which was what we expected but not appealing to all. Exceptionally clean, excellent service, great selection of cocktails prepared wonderfully- sometimes Too strong!!! Food was ok for buffet but a bit boring. Pizza restaurant, beach snack bar, ala carte restaurant were amazing and helped break the monotony of the buffet. Beach was about 5 minutes away- very safe walk or quick shuttle that runs every 15 minutes or less.
