I've been going to all-inclusive resorts for 20 years and this is by far the most disappointing one. Cons: Far, uncomfortable drive from the STI aiport Beata building was outdated, mildewy, and far away from anything fun & the beach Had to make dinner reservations for the 3 (subpar) restaurants DAYS in advance Pool towels could take 1 hour to be ready sometimes Tennis courts says open daily 8 am - 7 pm but we only saw it open ONCE in 5 days Drinks took FOREVER to come at the buffet, we would be done eating by the time they arrived Pools were not clean Limited shows (pretty much just watched guests sing karaoke every night) Drinks were not strong and not very tasty, just ended up not getting a buzz and hurting our stomachs Food was among the worst I've ever had and you had no option other than the buffet for breakfast, lunch & dinner because of the reservation issue Billiards table & ping pong closed early everyday even though that is all there was left to do Bars were only open 10 am - 12 am Housekeeping would take hours to get to your room and spend 1 hour inside that you could not enter during No clubs or any type of nightlife No kids foods (chicken tenders / mac n cheese, anything for picky eaters) Pros: Show/activity staff was very friendly and fun Convenient swim up bar Gym on site (limited hours) Beachfront property with easy access A/C in room was crispy cold Bartenders would fill your insulated tumbler or any cup you brought

In my opinion, one of the best hotels in the Puerto Plata area. It is well maintained and cared for, kept clean, beautiful and well designed, lots of comfortable areas to hang out, the rooms have good sound proofing, love the balconies, rooms have enough space for clothes, hangers included. Lots of hot water for showers, rooms have a small fridge and a safe. Nice newer tv's with a variety of channels, a few English. The main pools area is spacious and beautiful, and there is a quieter pool in the adjacent building. The inclusive menu is varied with a good variety of meat, fish, veg, local fruits, a pasta and pizza station, and lots of tasty desserts. The beach area is nice, with a few snorkel spots with some beautiful fish. The property is right next to a professionally designed golf course, a plaza with some nice stores, and an interesting bar where one can watch hockey games in the evening. I love the staff at GV. They are all very, friendly and helpful. Muchas gracias!

The staff was not accommodating at all. Paid for 3 people in the room only provided 2 towels. Had to call front desk multiple times before they finally came to provide towels and water. The “mini bar” is a joke. They do not have an iron in the room. You have to ask for an iron then they make you walk to the front desk to get it yourself. They expect you to bring it right back. I have never stayed at an all inclusive resort that made me walk back and forth with an iron. Then they made me tell them how long I was using it for and they provided broken irons. The food was not good. You have to make reservations but you can’t do it till your second day there. And then you can’t a reservation for that day. So that means out of 4 nights I was there I had to eat at the buffet all meals for 2 whole days. The room only had one outlet in the room and one in the bathroom. You can not charge multiple phones at the same time. We had to have our phones in the bathroom at night. That is very inconvenient. Small resort and for older people. Our experience was terrible and will never stay there again.

The staff does so much to make sure the stay is great. We have gone to Gran Ventana for 16 years and love it. We had no water due to a pump issue in town and the staff was lugging buckets to help flush toilets and make it so it was barely noticeable. The staff works so hard! no water was not in their control, but they did great to accommodate the situation. Beaches are great. The food is amazing! There is enough shade or sun depending on your preference. Rooms are clean and stocked daily. A great worry free vacation!

Worst Stay in Dominican Republic

I have to say it was one of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had. From start to finish, the entire stay was a disaster. Firstly, the check-in process was an absolute nightmare. The staff seemed disorganized and uninterested in helping. We waited over 25 minutes to check in, to have 1 person actually helping ANYONE with a question including checking-in, in was mind boggling. Being that I had so much time to wait around gave me the time to notice that the fixtures and ornaments in the lobby was covered in dust or dirt, the wood railings had some type of water rot happening and anything metal was also oxidizing. We finally got to our room; it was nothing like the photos listed. The rooms were very dated, the "TV" was a computer monitor, the furniture was antiquated and extremely dull. The "ocean front view" was a backyard look towards where the employees congregated and generators. The best part was the locks not working to the door. It was clear that updating anything was not a priority here. For the $ per room a total let down. Food was another major letdown. The quality of the food was below average. Food was either tasteless or EXTREMELY salty, and it was clear that the staff was overwhelmed. The checkout was just as checking-in in but more adventurous after waiting to be seen, a staff member who forgot to take a course in customer service, argued over a mistake she made only to have her supervisor escort to the back and him personally apologizing.

This property is small compared to others we have been to in Punta Cana. It was exactly what we wanted though, great beach, great food and drinks, wonderful staff. If you want a lot of activities, this might not be the place for you but they do offer some. There is just a very small gift shop on the property but there is a whole mall full of little shops right outside the front gate.

The hotel was wonderful, beautiful beach/pool, and the buffet was delicious with a lot of dishes to choose from. Very friendly and helpful staff. However, because I had the premium packages I was expecting at least a queen size bed, but I got a full size and it wasn’t too confortable. Besides that, my family and I had a great experience. Will definitely come back.
