  Best of the best

  This was the first trip to La Romana and we didn’t know what to expect. We heard about the seaweed in other locations in the Dominican Republic so we chose here as we heard there was none. They were correct. Not a nothing but crystal clear water and beautiful sand. We stayed with the preferred club and were wonderfully delighted how awesome it was. The room was way above expectation, the food was high end restaurant quality. The choices were endless. The thing that stood out was the service and the staff. Everywhere we went we were greeted with holas and good mornings and just genuine happiness. Everything we needed was taken care of in split seconds. We wanted for nothing. UNBELIEVABLE…

  11 Days in Paradise

  The hotel was around an hour from the airport however once we were here that wasn’t an issue. The hotel is located right on a beautiful beach with a fairly calm sea. The sand and sea is clear, with a very small amount of seaweed. The room was perfect for two people, no issues and Ana Rosa (our housekeeper) has taken excellent care with the room every day. We are most grateful. This hotel is perfect if you want to go to Saona Island as you can go directly from the beach inside the hotel and do not have to wake up at 7:30am. I do not think they advertised this enough as we found this out after almost booking online. Definitely recommend booking through Caesar at the ScubaAribe hut on the beach. The team that took us were amazing. The facilitis around the hotel were good. A varied choice of food across the restaurants. A little disappointed that there is currently no Lamb however the alternatives we picked were enjoyed. The buffet, breakfast lunch & dinner, were always consistently good with the food and the amazing service. We spent most of our time in the Secrets side for the breakfast & lunch buffets but the Dreams side were the same standard. This is currently held in the conference room but once you get passed it, the food and service was excellent. Eridinia Tomas in the Secrets Caoba buffet restaurent was always smiling while helping with the food. It was something my partner looked forward to every day - especially as she was on the ice cream station at lunch! She always lit up when she saw us coming. Around the Secrets pool area, Belkis Mejia has been looking after us every day during our stay. Always with a smile and a quick chat while we ordered our drinks. She has made each day enjoyable and is a treasure to the hotel. Esteban, the Entertainment team supervisor, was welcoming and chatty. His playful requests to join in the activities even though this isn’t our thing was always appreciated and always brought a smile to us. The time taken to speak to us and get to know him, in his brief moments between running round and entertaining everyone else too, was most appreciated. All of the staff throughout the hotel seem very happy to be working here and the management team sound like they are taking good care of the team. There isn’t anything I can think of to fault anyone we interacted throughout our 11 day stay.

  A superb family holiday made extra special by the amazing staff!

  What a superb holiday with my family! The amazing staff helped to make it even better! Beautiful, relaxing, tropical, fun, gorgeous weather, and fabulous staff! I would have given 5 stars if the renovation and refurbishment works weren’t taking place. The Hotel Entertainment team were outstanding! I attended their Dance classes most days and thoroughly enjoyed myself! MASSIVE Thanks to Juliana, Maria, Anavelis, Julieta, Miguel, Pablo Picasso, and Freddy! My 8-year old daughter Sienna loved the Kids club and was so well looked after by the fantastic team; Rosa, Ana, Maria Luisa, and Jaicy! I’m going to miss the Coffee Shop team too! Always served me with a smile and made me the best Spanish coffees! Thank you for the best holiday ever guys!

  Not a dreams anymore

  Not dreams anymore , this is our second time here and the last time , hotel degraded and service is not good anymore . The small cafe on the beach nothing to eat at all , that’s why most of the time nobody is there . Main buffet is repetitive and the food often without taste . Nobody speaks English , is a huge problem to communicate, and a little about rooms , they are just ok , personal try to keep it clean but the cleaning lady doesn’t care about her job , btw we leave tips 3$ each time but she forgot to bring water and our fridge is full of coke . We called to room service to bring us a water and it’s already 2 hours we wait to someone show up . Or she can take our dirty towels but forget to bring a new ones . I don’t recommend this place , for those money we have a lot of better places who appreciate their customers .

  7nights nightmare!

  Just came back last night from an 8-day stressful vacation at this resort, and I NEVER want to go back! The whole week was a nightmare inside the bathroom of my deluxe swim-up room, which was supposedly an upgraded Preferred Club. The bathroom was extremely outdated, which wouldn’t have been an issue if it had been kept clean—but it was filthy. A spider web was hanging from the bathroom light, and the bigger problem was that the room was infested with small flies from the very first day we arrived. I couldn’t rest all night! We asked our concierge to change rooms, but it never happened. During our stay, I saw COCKROACHES and MILLIPEDES in the bathroom—I was frozen in shock! This was the first time in my life I’ve seen bugs and insects inside a so-called 5-star resort room. On top of that, the door knobs were sticky, and I had to wipe them down every time. This place should be investigated! It is NOT 5 stars—it’s more like a 2-star motel. Eight days of pure nightmare. The food was mediocre at best. Nothing was truly good—just edible. Service at the FLYING FISH restaurant was unbelievably TERRIBLE. The restaurant is far from the others and the beach, and although it was almost empty, the staff couldn’t even bring a simple drink (a Sprite) from the time we sat down until we left. My husband asked twice, and still nothing. Including us, only three tables were occupied. No wonder we never went back! The beach was the only nice part—clean, no seaweed. However, this is a beach resort, and they should provide floating devices for guests to enjoy. Instead, we were told to buy them because they didn’t have any. I have NEVER had this problem at any other resort in my life! I was completely FOOLED by good reviews. I don’t know who left them, but based on my experience, believe the negative reviews before deciding to go to Dreams Dominicus La Romana. This place isn’t a dream—it’s a NIGHTMARE. I will never go back, and I highly recommend that you DO NOT GO to this resort. This was my first and last time here, and I wish I could reverse it. This is NOT a 5-star resort—it’s a 2-star at best.
