We just got back from our holiday from Feb 5-12/12. This resort is beautiful! My husband and I have travelled to many 5* resorts through DR and Mexico and found that this hotel was comparable if not better then some of the 5 * we've stayed at. The rooms were clean and well kept. The food at the buffet had... More

This is our fifth year going to the Dominican and our third time in Puerto Plata. We truly enjoy this country and the people. This is our first VH hotel and our first stay at the Gran Ventana. We liked how close it was to the airport. When we arrived, only two of the three rooms were ready and they... More

Overall an enjoyable holiday but............. Thomson Airways: NO FREE WATER SERVED despite it being an 8hr 40min. flight. Tui clearly do not consider the health and well being of their passengers to be a priority particularly when bearing in mind the possibility of DVT. On screen free entertainment was attrocious, the films were rubbish as were the games and were... More

Hi Us and another couple came to this resort Feb. 3-10/12. We had an awesome time because this hotel is great. The rooms are adequate and super clean. TV reception great. The food at the daily buffet was "great". We did not try any of the three specialty restaurants as we prefer eating when we want rather than the reservation... More

My wife and I have just returned Feb 06 2012 after a week at the Gran Ventana and would return to this resort in a heartbeat. The flight with Air Transat was direct from Ottawa and the transfers to and from the resort were seamless, Nolitours well represented in the DR. We booked through CAA travel and they looked after...

Been at Gran Ventana between Jan 28 and Feb 4, 2012 in two rooms with our teenagers. The flight with Air Transat from Toronto was the best I've ever had going south because they fly large Boeing planes allowing for decent leg room (I'm 6'5"). Fast check-in. Large room with updated floors and walls but old installations so we had... More
