A nice getaway
This place was a nice getaway. The pool was amazing. Beach was nice and quiet. The food was also good, especially the fresh fruit. The only thing that can be improved on were the actual hotel rooms. They were fair, but at least they were clean.
Overall the stay was great. The staff was very friendly and made you feel at home.
The beach was small and most of the chairs and shade huts are not on the beach. We had to wake up early to put towels out if you wanted shade durring the day. Also the hotel allowed very pushy vendors into the hotel one day a week. I could have done without them even though we did buy something. Overall the food and drink quality was great. If you want the best beach one the island, this is not it. If you just want to sit by the pool then this is the hotel for you.
Never been there before but will certainly go again. Went for beach and diving. What fun / mutiple dining areas. Liquor included. Fantastic staff. Don't miss the breakfast buffet and specialties made to order. The food was out of this world. So much--so many varieties. Talk about a great room/ nice, clean, comfortable AND COOL ! What a great clean island and nice people.

I wanted to know how I could get into the gourmet restaurants. I don't mind buffets, but we'd like to have a really nice dinner during our stay. Thanks!

That's a great question! The gourmet ala carte restaurants (El Colonial, La Geisha, and La Hacienda) fill up very quickly, so it's best to make the arrangements as soon as possible. The Concierge is located in either building 4 or 7 and they are usually there from 8:15am-2pm, however, this does vary. It's best to check with the front desk upon check-in to get the most up-to date schedule.
The restaurants are a must, the food is amazing!

there are 4 specialty restaurants, you can book them the next morning after you get to the hotel, they can give you times and days for all four of them there.

Hotel Description
Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus: You May Never Go Home Again
Warning: vacations at Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus have been known to cause extreme relaxation and happiness. Rated #1 among the 11 resorts in Bayahibe, Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus features warm sandy beaches on the lush Dominican Republic's tropical southern coast.
Winner of a TripAdvisor's 2011 Traveler's Choice Award, Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus gives scuba divers and snorkelers some of the best diving and equipment access in the Dominican Republic. The onsite Dressel Divers International Diving Center has several excursions a day, seven days a week, to multiple diving locations. Scooped up directly from Hacienda Dominicus' beach, guests can schedule dives to Catalina Island's famous "Wall." The Aquarium, another nearby hotspot, offers an astonishing formation of coral brimming with life. Between dives, sample the buffet and beverages at the bar on the private beaches of Catalina. Offering 15 different dive sites on reefs no more than 20 minutes from Hacienda Dominicus, Dressel guarantees you won't dive the same reef twice, except by choice.
Guests of Hacienda Dominicus, who want to spend their time closer to shore, love the pristine beach generously populated with shady, thatched huts. Or if temperature-controlled wading is more to your liking, try one of the resort's three pools. The main pool is shaped like a lagoon and has an island garden and a raised, 20-person, cool-water spa. One end slopes into the shallow, toddler's section. The quiet pool is adjacent to the lagoon, and a nearby rectangular pool is where you'll find water games and activities.
Active land lovers enjoy the hotel's volleyball and tennis courts, as well as the fitness center. Replenish those lost electrolytes with all inclusive beverages at El Faro Beach Bar, a lighthouse-shaped bar right on the beach. Or visit the main pool's swim-up bar, and cool off while you cool down. Then grab a carb-loaded power snack at El Ingenio's international lunch buffet before beginning your afternoon of intense relaxation. When night falls, dance till your legs wobble at the nearby disco, and grab a quick nap before beginning all over again in the morning.
