    Another great XMAS holiday

    Gran Ventana feels like home. The staff so friendly and the food is always fresh! Great activities during the XMAS holidays, everyday merengue, aqua classes and zumba, especially the classes with Svetlana from nrg2go! The beach is beautiful and clean. Everything about this resort is AMAZING! We can't wait to go back!

    Lovely Resort with great entertainment!

    We enjoyed our stay a Gran Ventana. 14 days of sun and a great fun. We had the Premium package that was best choice. It included private Beach area and access to the Vintage Club, which we enjoyed a LOT. Big shout out to team at Vintage club. The Vintage club is so cozy. Best drinks! We loved the private Beach area! Great work from the Beach team! We had two rooms; one facing the pool which was excellent and another was not as good, facing a neighbour property, there was scent of mould in the room. On our time at GV we enjoyed the entertainment team that every day had a LOT of fun activities; pool airobics, crazy games, dance lessons, silent disco (we loved it!) etc etc! The were very Engaged in getting the guest included and involved in activities. We could not had more fun on our vacation! Big shout out to Carlos ( love the dance moves; you are a professional and have a great energy) , Yurei (thanks for pool airobics, nice and inclusive energy, enjoyed the bacchata; love the dance moves) Iisac (great dance lesson) and the others that we did not learn the names of! We will be back!

    Great experience for our entire family! Jesse really made our trip special

    This hotel was a great experience for our entire family. We absolutely loved the food and drinks as well as the service at all the restaurants. The pool was great and the property was clean and well maintained. The best part of our trip was Jesse, the activities host who not only entertained us throughout our trip, but he took the time to talk with us and made sure we felt at home and had everything we needed. You have a true superstar with him at that hotel and we would definitely say that he made our stay there feel special. Can't wait to return!

    A solid base with room for improvement

    The hotel is clean and the staff is friendly, which meets basic expectations. Unfortunately, the quality of the mostly unseasoned food and the drinks (with the exception of the Vintage Club) was disappointing. The loud music at the pool twice a day also did not match the relaxed Caribbean atmosphere we were hoping for. Some staff members struggled with simple English requests. At the same time, we would like to positively highlight those who always made an extra effort: Aquilio at the private beach, Santa, Xiomeris & Ricardo from the Vintage Club, as well as Robison at the front desk. Several services that were meant to add value did not work smoothly in practice: • Despite booking the Royal Package, we were initially assigned a non-renovated room near the noisy pool area. With support from the Rooms Division Manager, we were able to move to a beachside room the following day. • A request for missing hangers resulted in pest control being sent instead. • Room service was unreliable on two occasions (wrong tea delivered in the evening, and lunch not delivered despite follow-up calls). We did enjoy spending time at the sister hotel Casa Colonial (spa, dining, cocktails) and on excursions, which clearly improved the overall experience. Overall, the hotel works as a base, but the overall experience lacks consistency. With better execution, it could live up to its potential — and appeal to a broader range of guests, not mainly those primarily focused on alcohol.

    Sun, Pool, Sea, Merengue, Zumba!

    As returning visitors, our holiday at Gran Ventana was - as usual - a great experience. The food was great and a variety of choices. The entertainment team was always a lot of fun, on the many sunny days, and the few rainy days (tropical warm rain!) The daily merengue lessons were a nice treat and especially the WONDERFUL Zumba classes by Zumba Instructor Svetlana from Belgium were a highlight.
