Good! We plan to return
Diane K (Shawinigan, Canada) on Jul 10, 2024
We really enjoyed our three-week stay at the Marien. We'd been going to Cuba the last several years, where the beaches are nicer and it's generally safer. But the shortages there and the way the Cuban government is treating its people recently has to stop. So we returned to the DR. I was nervous about crime, but we didn't go out at night and had absolutely no problems. Even the beach vendors seemed less aggressive than the last time we'd been to the DR about 15 years ago. We took the VIP package and it was good. I have listed the benefits below. Food was good. Hot foods were kept hot, and cold was cold. We never got sick. I enjoyed the smoothie bar and pasta bars at the buffet. You can ask your waiter for stonger coffee at breakfast if that's your preference. We had lovely weather and enjoyed the VIP Balinese beds sometimes. There was a cigar bar, and pizza restaurant just outside the front door but we did not try them. The casino outside the front door is okay if you're a gambler. We used the gym a lot. It's okay, but needs some renovating for sure. Here are the staff we appreciated: - Jon at the front desk - Yamily at the VIP desk - Carlos the VIP bartender - Marie-Christina, the best maid ever - Sebio the bellboy We were in room 8216 on the 2nd floor with a king bed. Next time, we may bring a foam cover because we found the mattress a bit hard for our older bones. ;-) Read on for more tips and a couple of cons. The benefits of the VIP service (at an extra charge) include: - Personalized check in/check out in the VIP Lounge. - VIP wrist band. - Late check out (subject to availability) until 4:00 PM. - Bathrobe and slippers in the room. - Pillow menu. - Superior mini bar (4 soft drinks and 4 beers). - Bottle of sparkling wine in the room on the day of arrival. - Turndown service - Safe included in the room. - Private beach area with Balinese beds. - Bar in VIP lounge with Premium drinks and lounge seating area. - VIP lounge with light refreshments (during the day) - Password protected wifi in the VIP lounge - Access to the à la carte restaurants without reservation. - VIP area at the buffet - Room service. - Children's club with electric game, TV, rest area. (NOT EXCLUSIVE, applies to family room categories) - Pool area for children, (NOT EXCLUSIVE, applies to family room categories) TIPS: We walked down the main road to the big Jumbo supermarket (pronounced Yumbo supermercado) and that was fun. It's like a Walmart and they have everything you might find you need, including drinks and affordable sunscreen and a Scotiabank ATM, among others. If you're up for a longer walk, the big Sirena supermarket is very similar. - You can walk for miles down the beach if that's your thing, but only in one direction towards Blue Bay (see cons below). - Watch out for crazy drivers when you cross the road. They will often run red lights and ignore pedestrian crossings. - Bring lots of sunscreen and bugspray. There weren't any flies but there were mosquitos. CONS (not many): -Smelly cats hanging around the buffet. Ugh. - Garbage on the beach. They pick it up, but it just comes right back. Plastics and broken glass so watch your step. Disgraceful! Tons of seeweed too, but at least that's "natural". They do their best to keep on top of it. - Included beer and wine wasn't good and bottled wines at extra charge were too expensive, so we got bottled beer and wine at the Jumbo. - Don't walk towards town down the beach. There are hooligans that hang out there and prey on tourists. - No NHL hockey in the sports bar. We plan to return. Happy to answer your questions.
Plenty of fun and GREAT food.

Amazing place to stay with family. Plenty of activities. GREAT food. I've been to other all inclusives where the food is cold and there is not enough variety. Service was overall good however there were some employees with a notable sour expression and those few stick out. Were able to check in early and check out late (probably a VIP perk). Nice nightclub. If it weren't for the few employees that were a bit rude I would have left 5 stars.
