“Not your kind of place if you are looking for a resort.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This "hotel" is the worst were I have ever stayed. Juan Dolio is really a "past glory" area in the DR. Most of the buildings are unfinished and the constructions are abandoned. The hotel has no parking, the grounds are dirty, the lobby is filthy, the rooms are dirty and poorly maintained, the bathrooms are the worst. One of the buildings is really old, two of the other building seems to be "recently" renovated but the furniture was left. There are cockroaches everywhere and the smell of the rooms are intolerable.
I looked at 4 rooms before taking a room at the "new" area, but couldn't tolerate more than one night.

The smell of the kitchen is all over the hotel, there are hanging clothes everywhere, the pool looked clean and well kept. But this is very far from a resort, even from a hotel,is more of a apartahotel. There were no towels, soap or any amenities. The air conditioner did not function and it was extremely dirty. The fan were completely loaded with dust.
I booked 3 rooms and only one was acceptable for just one night.
I changed hotel the next day and moved to Santo Domingo.
Don't be fooled by the cheap price, it is not worth it.

“what more can you ask for!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

My husband and I have been staying at Plaza Real since 2008! stayed at plaza real over 8 times~!! I shouls have written sooner! I cannot tell you its like home away from home. WHat more can you ask for. The service, the hard working people and of corse the most beautiful surrounding Dominican Republic has to offer. The weather the beach the food! the restaurants are great. From the reception to the Maids service to the restaurants and the stunning beach. I lived in D.r for 3 years and Plaza Real is THE favorite on our list. Sandro is so welcoming and the staff is great. Peace and quiet vacation. If your looking for luxury you must be willing to pay 500$ per night + anywhere else.
A la proxima! me encanta mucho aya ! nos vemos pronto!

Room Tip: We always choose #14 view of the ocean and large terasse. Also give a good tip to the maids they wo...

“great caribbean vacation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

Splendid beach close to the hotel, which is simple but there's all you need. Nice people, famous dominican allegria! My apartment was very big and had a view on the fabulous garden. I visited the nearby city of San Pedro de Macoris and other beaches - the local Guyacanes and windy Playa Caribe with big waves, by local bus called la gua gua - a must do if you really want to savour the local spirit and know the real Dominican Republic with its jolly and very hospitable people!!!
