Perfect Beach

NatalyStYu (Chicago, Illinois) on Jun 19, 2026

This beach is absolutely stunning! The soft white sand, crystal-clear water, and breathtaking views make it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The beach is clean, well-maintained, and offers plenty of space to enjoy the sun without feeling crowded. The gentle waves and beautiful surroundings create a peaceful atmosphere, while the spectacular sunsets make every evening unforgettable. Whether you're looking to swim, take a walk along the shore, or simply enjoy nature, this beach has everything you could ask for. Highly recommended!

Beautiful resort but unfriendly staff

GoPlaces778631 on Jun 19, 2026

We really enjoyed our stay at Dreams Dominicus La Romana. The resort itself is beautiful, very clean, with excellent facilities and good food. The grounds are well maintained and the overall atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was the staff. We found many employees to be unfriendly and very slow. It often felt like service with a smile only happened when staff saw guests holding cash tips. When ordering drinks, especially at the pool bar, staff frequently seemed annoyed, as if serving guests was an inconvenience. The waiting times were also much longer than expected. We also experienced significant issues with organization. We paid extra for Preferred Club access, but we were never properly informed about the benefits included. Throughout most of our stay, nobody explained that there were exclusive facilities available, such as a private pool, upgraded areas, and other Preferred Club amenities. We only discovered some of these benefits near the end of our vacation. In addition, we were supposed to have access to a concierge service, but we never met or heard from our concierge during the entire stay. As a result, we paid a premium for the Preferred Club experience but were unable to enjoy most of the services and benefits that were included. Overall, the resort has great potential thanks to its beautiful facilities, cleanliness, and food, but the quality of service and lack of communication regarding Preferred Club benefits significantly impacted our experience.

Our honest experience

Salma T on Jun 18, 2026

Sebastian was a great butler! My mom fell sick and he did everything to help during our stay! Aside from that the hotel facilities are amazing. The beach, the bars, the restaurants were great! Our favourite restaurant by far was the French one. This was my second time and I will definitely return.

The Beach Was Five Stars—The Rest Was Not

PRIMOTRAVELSERVICES (Arlington, Texas) on Jun 18, 2026

The only saving graces of this resort were the absolutely gorgeous beach, our Preferred Club Butler Juan Guzman, and our Preferred Beach Concierge Rudy. Both Juan and Rudy consistently went above and beyond and provided the level of service I had hoped to experience throughout the resort. The beach was truly exceptional—beautiful, swimmable, and, most importantly, completely free of seaweed during our stay. The active pools looked like a lot of fun for guests looking for a lively atmosphere, while the quieter pools provided a relaxing escape. Unfortunately, the food was a major disappointment. Most meals were either overcooked, under-seasoned, or both. I actually lost weight on this vacation, which is not something I can say has ever happened at an all-inclusive resort. The drinks were equally underwhelming. After the first day, I quickly learned to stick with beer, wine, or straight shots because the cocktails tasted heavily watered down. The resort's "fun drinks" were mostly overly sweet frozen concoctions served with paper straws that disintegrated before you could finish them. We stayed in a Preferred Club Swim-Out Suite, which was in an excellent location and offered a semi-private pool area that we enjoyed. However, the room itself showed significant wear and tear. Pool tiles were missing, chunks of cement were missing in several areas, and despite requesting a sheet change twice during our stay, it never happened. The room décor was surprisingly sparse and uninspired, with little more than a single piece of artwork on the wall. It felt barren and lacked the thoughtful design touches that make a resort stay feel special. As both a traveler and a travel agency owner, I may be more particular than the average guest. My reputation depends on recommending resorts and destinations that I can confidently stand behind and trust with my clients' vacations. Unfortunately, Dreams Dominicus La Romana fell well short of my expectations in several key areas. I know other Dreams resorts in Dominican Republic do offer a better experience - just make sure and get your travel agents insight before selecting one. That said, I will end where I began: the beach was absolutely amazing. If your vacation revolves around spending your days on a beautiful stretch of sand with crystal-clear water and no seaweed, this resort certainly delivers on that front.

Amazing Entertainment Team and Great Atmosphere!

ssilviya_stoyanova (Washington DC, District of Columbia) on Jun 16, 2026

We had a fantastic stay at Dreams Dominicus! What truly made the experience special was the incredible entertainment team. Chicken, Jey, Champion, Niky, Happy Boy, Mello, Mini Cooper, and Brayan were all energetic, friendly, and made every day so much fun. From the pool activities during the day to the amazing shows at night, there was always something exciting happening. Their energy, enthusiasm, and ability to get everyone involved created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our vacation unforgettable. We would definitely come back!
