We are just back from here (15th Dec) having spent the first two weeks in December and it was superb. We have been to the Caribbean before although never Dominican Republic and have only stayed at Sandals resorts and I have to say for less than half the price of their hotels, the value for money is excellant here.

First time in DR travelling with young baby and spouse. The immigration process into the country was non-existent. Just provide your completed immigration card and they waved you through. We were picked up in an older mini-bus at the airport. Pretty basic transportation. Arrived at the hotel in 25 mins or so, and greeted with a cold slushie drink and... More

We first visited in 2009 and loved the hotel and decided to return for our honeymoon this year - we still has a blast but the hotel is looking a little tired :( More

The Good: This hotel is situated in a good location. It was easy to get to, even for people who had never driven in the Dominican Republic (If you're faint of heart, taking a taxi to the hotel is the way to go because driving was an adventure. It would appear that the rules of the road are merely suggestions... More

I have spent a lot of time in the Dominican Republic....I used to go to Playa Dorada when it was the in place and then I started going to Punta Cana, specifically Barcelo Palace Deluxe which is an outstanding hotel in its own right.
