Stay away, go to any other resort in Puerto Plata except this one. They will scam you out of your money. Rooms were very out dated. Not even the WiFi worked.

The rooms are dated. It is a plus that room service was provided every day. Cleaning staff were very nice. Upon check-in there were no overall instruction as to how meals, restaurants, pool times, getting potable water in the rooms, minibar, locations of anything or really how the property worked so that the guest could maximize their stay. There was way too much focus on the towel cards and an emphasis on needing to return them or be charged $30 per card, the check-out process was equally confusing and lacked any real direction. The dining room staff clearly favored the customers who offered tips for better service. My dominican guests were treated poorly and different when me and my american guests were not present. Pools were clean however limiting the pool hours to 7PM is inconvienient. Not allowing guests to swim in the ocean after 1800 created problems. The food was horrible, everything seemed of the lowest quality and little flavor or care went into its preperation, they even somehow managed to cook rice poorly. Pasta, Pizza, and omelet stations are nice but when the ingredients are poor or the cooking technique lacking it doesnt matter. There was very little variety day to day, The hamburgers and hot dogs as snacks were probely the worst I ever had anywhere. I dont know what they put in the patties but it doesnt taste like beef. I would not stay at this property again.

The only shining light there is Rumy Martinez. He was very empathetic to my dire situation with my son's health. I went to the desk several times to get very time sensitive documents need for my 7am appointment at the embassy that took 4 hours to get to so I could get home and take my son to the emergency room. There was one receptionist that was dismissive and nasty from hello. She made my situation and stress level worse. Gladly Mr. Martinez walked me through their Spanish only computer so i could print my documents. Also, when we checked in they didn't have the room we requested so they upgraded us to a suite in which we were appreciative but when we arrived to the room the bathroom was completed flooded with water and a wet shoe print in the shower. We informed the front desk of our concern and they addressed it immediately. Unfortunately, they didn't inform us that the reason the bathroom was flooded was because of a broken showerhead that spinned and sprayed the entire bathroom no matter which way you turned it. In order to not flood the room below us we had to take stand-up baths. Then the dining experience was very interesting. They had plenty of food and choices but not very tasteful. The beach and the view from the beach was amazing but if you wanted a canopy lounger you had to pay $40 additional for each person each night and they were very old and worn down.

It’s a simple all inclusive experience for the couple who wants a break and forget about day to day shenanigans at home. Food is good , their entertainment program will keep you busy, and you won’t get tired from walking a big property. It will give you a much meeded break.

I stayed here for 3 days and all I can say is food was amazing a couple of things need to be redone or fixed I didn’t have a WiFi connection in my room which is pretty much needed in some areas of the hotel since sometimes you can lose your phone connection (data) a lot of the staff are very courteous, educated and well behaved but had a couple issues with a few one of the chefs for snacks from 11pm to 2am had a very bad actitud on Friday night November 13th he needs to work on his bad attitude because at the end of the day we pay to stay here and to serve us is simply his job I never disrespected him so he had no reason to act like such towards my family member and me another guy same thing at ocean restaurant very bad attitude so please always talk to your staff about the importance of customer service. Other than that activities and the animation people were very nice shows on a nightly basis otherwise great!

Another excellent stay at Gran Ventana! Traveled with family and when we arrived our rooms were ready right at 3pm and check-in was fast even though there was a line. When we got to our rooms there was a “Welcome Back!” banner that we really enjoyed. We were also provided with fresh fruit and a bottle of the local rum. Property was clean and staff was very friendly and helpful. Raul was very helpful at the buffet and Rosa always had an amazing smile! Food options were good and had variety. The only thing that could improve was the water delivery at the dinner tables, I was always needing to call someone to get water. Beachfront property and security guard always available and very professional. I really liked that they were cleaning the seaweed that sometimes comes on shore everyday. Overall great stay, would definitely recommend!
