This was a first out of country vacation for both me and my husband. We went with 2 other couples. We loved this resort, and due to flight delays we actually got to compare it to a second resort while we were there! (Gran Ventana for the win!) Food: EXCELLENT!! Lots of options, my favourite was the pasta station, hubby loved the egg station in the mornings. Rosa greeted us every morning and afternoon so cheerfully and she was so helpful if we needed anything! Rooms: a bit dated, but very clean. Our a/c worked; only at the arctic freeze setting, but still better than not at all. Beach: Loved it! There is a lifeguard if needed, security keeping an eye out. There were plenty of vendors but they would only ask once and when you decline they move on. We didn't find it too crowded, though there were times it was hard to find a lounger in a shaded area. There are shaded areas, but obviously those are the first to be snagged. Pools: Clean, not too crowded, maybe could use some more umbrellas as it was really hard to find a shaded place here, pool bar was a nice place to get out of the sun and we loved Benito behind the bar. Staff: Everyone was so nice!! From the maid, to the groundkeepers, I never felt snubbed or ignored. They are all very happy and smiley and kind. We 100% plan to go back next year and take our teenagers with us.

Our stay at Ventana was unforgettable, and the highlight of our trip was definitely the amazing entertainment team— Carlos, Henry, and Bryan! They brought so much energy, fun, and laughter to every moment, making each day feel special. Their creativity and enthusiasm were unmatched, and they went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time. We can’t thank them enough for making our vacation so memorable.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Henry and Willemi always went above and beyond with their customer service. The hotel is right on the beach, there are lots of activities to do and great ambiance. There is always a staff around to help you.
Good visit and would return

This place is good with many repeat visitors. It was my first time and I would return. It is very clean, friendly, safe, good food at the buffet and the al a cartes. We enjoyed the premium bar room pre dinner and after dinner as well. Mimosa in the mornings too. Activities were fun during the day and evenings had typical Silent disco, beach party, kareoke, Caribean show. Good for families, couples and friends. It is not a huge place, which I liked. The beach was clean, walkable, swimable and drinks available.
A resort worth considering

I really enjoyed this resort. The amenities were very nice, I spent time in the pool and at the beach every day. I thought the food was excellent with a wide selection of seafood options at every meal although others in my party weren't as impressed. The best part of the resort for me was the entertainment staff. Henry, Bryan and Carlos made every one of our days more enjoyable. Their games, events, and performances were all made better by their infectious personalities. Oh, and the dancing, the three of them were always out working the crowd and dancing the evening away, coaxing even the most reluctant guests join the fun. The mini disco every night was a hoot. It was great watching them get all the kids up on the stage and dance to various songs. Even gusts without kids had fun watching the mini disco show. For the evening shows, my favourite was Michael Jackson night, Bryan's performance was spectacular! Watching him moonwalk across the pool deck was awe inspiring and prompted gasps from the audience. Service was also top notch, the cleaning staff was particularly excellent. Every day our room was swept of sand (which gets everywhere) and the floor was moped. In addition to making the beds, the clothes left on the beds were folded. A couple of areas of improvement: The wifi is really lacking. Service in the common areas was almost non-existent. If I needed to do anything online I had to go back to my room. Also, the water flow in my shower was lacking. Small complaints for an otherwise great experience. I would gladly return.
