Our DR family! ??
Randi M (Barrie, Canada) on Apr 15, 2026
Hola!!! Ahhhhhh! This is long winded, but so many people deserve a shout out! lol We have been back for a few days now, and I am still feeling the effects of all the fun we had—the amazing people we met and the time spent with our Gran Ventana family. It truly meant so much to us. We were so excited to return after such a great first experience last year, and it was even more special to realize that our DR friends still remembered us and were just as excited to see us. That feeling is something really rare, and it speaks volumes about the incredible people who work here. From the management team to the bartenders, check-in staff, chefs, servers, housekeeping, and groundskeepers—every single person plays a part in making this place feel so welcoming and special. I know I don’t have all of our favourite people’s names, and I may be misspelling some, but I truly want to give a heartfelt thank you to the people who made such an impact on our stay: Sension—you made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. We appreciated the smiles and hugs whenever we saw you! Oscar Lora, Maximo, Marcos (room management), Anthony (front desk) and Roberto (it was so special to meet part of the family who own the resort) you are all doing an amazing job! To the entire Vintage Club team—especially our bestie and forever family Ricardo, along with Santa, Olvi, Sujeldy, Juan Matis, and Nazir—you are all so wonderful, and we are so grateful for you. The new entertainment team, led by the awesome Richard, has clearly been working hard, and it shows. Joellani, Carlos, Isaac, and our “kids club mommy” (I’m so sorry I can’t remember your name) are all incredible. Even though our kids don’t attend the kids club, they absolutely adore you. Isaac went out of his way to spend time teaching Emmie Spanish and playing pool with her, which meant so much to us. Carlos - Quinn and Huxley shared so many genuine laughs with you - it was so nice to see. To our beach bar besties—Aqui, David, Jose, and Amable—we miss you already. Your smiles, energy, and kindness truly made our days brighter and our vacation even more special. To all the lovely people at the buffet—especially our big boss Raul! The way you lit up when Emmie first came for a hug warmed my heart! Meant a lot to her, and us! To Rosa and the rest of the wonderful waitstaff, thank you for always taking such great care of us. Carlos (aka the Dominican “James Bond”)—you brought so much fun and personality to every interaction! Special mention to the sweeper man that whistles - our kids adore you! Lobby bar team—Osvaldo, Ernesto, Jessenia, Olson, Luis, Mario, and Lucy—thank you for your kindness, the cold beers and the many great moments we shared. We also want to send a big thank you to all the super fun people we met during our stay. So many of you helped fill our days with laughter and unforgettable memories. Those moments truly made our trip even more meaningful. If you see this, please reach out—we would love to stay connected. ?? Thank you again to the entire Gran Ventana family. What you create for your guests goes far beyond a vacation—it feels like coming home. We are already counting down the days until we see you all again next year. ??
Pros and cons
karlad961 on Apr 12, 2026
We stayed over the March break and knew it would be at capacity which it was. Because of this you had to line up for the buffet before 6:30 or you'd be waiting for a table and beverage service would be hit or miss. It was very loud. Securing a pool lounger or beach lounger was a task. You needed to reserve by 8am. There was a loud argument on the beach between 2 groups over beds. Our room was adequate. Only complaint was a running toilet. The food was good, wine almost undrinkable. Drinks at the pool bar were good. When we arrived there weren't any pool towels but I brought my own having read it was hit or miss. The beach was beautiful, you could walk forever. We enjoyed our time there but won't be returning.
