TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

The resort is excellent as was the staff a special shout out to Francis who tried his best to get us the room we paid for…this is not a resort for people with disabilities which should be written in their ads…there are very many stairs to go anywhere in the resort…all in all the resort is beautiful the food was great and the staff was friendly and efficient..

Absolutely beautiful beach the customer service is amazing shoutout to harrison the bartender sandy and jhael treated me like Family!

Love the place quite and the staff really nice

When you arrive at the resort you are shown your room, a very basic room in an extremely long hallway almost designed on purpose to amplify running and screaming. As older adults the last thing you need is drunks and out of control kid's ruining your long awaited getaway..., so,we inquired about getting an upgrade and scored an amazing ground floor ocean view walkout room in the Select side. First let me tell you that it's not cheap, second it's well worth the money. Away from the maddening hoards and into a catered and secluded setting. Hell yeah!! Now this is it!! Better everything. Would I go here and upgrade again,? Yes, in a heartbeat. Do it, don't cheap out, life's too short.

This was our 5th time at Select at Casa Marina. It’s like coming home for Thanksgiving dinner! ?? The staff are so welcoming and efficient. Although the beach is small compared to many other resorts, a much larger one (Playa Alicia) is available and easily accessible next door. Select offers amenities that the family side are not privy to. A private restaurant, Herman’s, where the waiters William, Pedro, Amenancio and Marvin warmly welcome you. At the pool bar Juan, Sandy, Jose and Harrison will make your favourite cocktails with top shelf alcohol. Get the nibbles from all that time in the water or lounging by the pool ? There’s a delightful hors d’oeuvre area set up by Herman’s for Select guests. There is also a pool menu enabling you to eat poolside. Seriously..there were times we felt like a Kardashian! And, not to be missed, sitting on the outside patio with a delicious cocktail (or Presidente cerveza) enjoying the fabulous sunset! If you’re looking for a lot of action this would not be the place. If you want to relax, renew and regenerate, you will be pleased. There is a buffet shared by the family and adult side but Select guests have a private dining area. As well, there are three à la carte restaurants, Italian, Mexican and seafood. The seafood doubles as a quick lunch restaurant serving hamburgers, hotdogs, pizzas and salads. Housekeeping is efficient and the chambermaids are very accommodating. If you need more of any of the amenities just leave them a note with your request. Tips are always appreciated and welcomed. Francis and Amal at the Select private check-in desk are amazing and extremely helpful. Any minor issues we had were addressed immediately and efficiently. Walk out the front door and you face a baseball field (currently being renovated) and to the right and left, you’re in Sosua proper. There are many restaurants, bars and stores to shop. We never felt uncomfortable walking outside the resort but then again, we are not night owls??. There is entertainment every night at the theatre in the front of the resort as well as a gym and spa. We have travelled to a number of places and resorts in the DR but have, and will continue, to return to our little piece of Paradise- Select at Casa Marina.
