WOW Another amazing trip to Gran Ventana.. As repeat clients we got a tshirt and a nice private buffet with music in the Italian a la carte.We took VIP and loved the beds and chairs on the beach. They would bring towels and mattress as soon as they saw us. Aqualino and Jose are great bartenders and servers on the beach. In bufet was Adrian and enrique. They can't move fast enough. Had the room we asked for too. Thanks Marcos and thank you to Oscar the MAnager for everything.. Can't wait to go back next year. Nancy and Mike from Montreal Canada.
Super chill vacation in the D.R.

This was our first visit to the Gran Ventana. From the moment we arrived, everything went smoothly. The location is only 20 mins. from the airport, super convenient. Check-in was seamless, our room was clean and ready, and the resort is small and very easy to get around. The staff were very kind, the atmosphere is very chill and although the resort is smaller, it never felt crowded, busy or loud. The entertainment crew were great, offering all sorts of fun activities throughout the day and evening. Bingo, pool aerobics, yoga, zumba, step class, volleyball etc...the list goes on and on. The gym has all the equipment you need to get a good workout in for the day, the a-la-carte restaurants were easy to book (3 to try, all very good and great service - very generous portions...delicious!). The buffet and beach grill had great food choices with plenty of options and great hours of operation...we ate very well...the food is absolutely delicious!! We stayed in the Saona bldg...it was lovely, quiet, we had a beautiful balcony and the grounds are all impeccable...no bad views from any of the rooms. You can tell the staff take pride in their work. We paid a fair bit to come to this resort but it is my understanding you can get some really good deals depending on the season. We did do one 1/2 day excursion with Camel Safari Exporing - the sunset party boat cruise (snorkling, swimming, food, drinks, dancing and a beautiful sunset to end the cruise)...we had a blast...definitely recommend it...the crew, especialdly "Chocolate" was fun, we met alot of wonderful people and we had a great time! We booked our excursion through Nexus Tours (Our rep. Bernie was the absolute best...he was super informative and helpful. He took very good care of us and was always readily available at the resort). The beach is lovely, with shallow water, great for the elderly, children and people who can't swim...there were always plenty of chairs and shade areas...we would walk for miles either way and felt safe. We brought cat food/treats for the resort cats...they were all so cute and friendly...looks like they are very well taken care of as well. There are beach dogs as well...super friendly and appreciate dog food/treats!! We hope that everyone who comes here has the same great experience we had...thank you Gran Ventana!
