Fantastic Spot for a Wedding

Paul S (Boston, Massachusetts) on Apr 12, 2024

About 2 years ago, me and my fiancée decided to book our wedding at this resort and having been using trip advisor over that time to monitor how the resort has been performing since being transitioned into world of Hyatt. I will break my review into two parts. One about the wedding and the second about the resort itself. Wedding: the wedding was a 5 out of 5 experience. Our wedding coordinator was Rossy and she and her team did a fantastic job making the day flawless. This resort does at least 1 wedding per day and it’s clear they are professionals at the process. They really captured our vision of how we wanted the day. Simple but customized to meet our needs. We had our wedding at the pier and reception/cocktail at the main plaza. I would highly recommend this setting as it makes it the most intimate experience for all. The DJ was very skilled as well and captured the vibe of the crowd very well. He played all our requested songs and steered clear of styles of music we requested. Flowers were beautiful. All guests were happy and the only big issue we saw was that the bar ran out of water near the end of the night and didn’t seem to do anything to resupply. But flawless otherwise Resort: overall, we were very happy with the resort. 4 out of 5 stars on this end. There were a ton of Food and drink options at anytime of the day and the food was generally high quality but not exactly elevated cuisine. I have a high standard for food so I was not impressed a ton of times but my wedding guests were happy overall which is what mattered. Bar tenders were generally very quick with drinks but as previous reviews mentioned some are not super enthusiastic and can appear rude at times. They are very generous with the pours and have a lot of tasty drinks. We were big fans of the lobby bar as a solid late night go to. Pools and beach area were awesome. Clear and clean water perfect for swimming and cooling off. On the list of things I didn’t like, some folks at the resort are pretty aggressive about upselling the spa and additional resort events like beach dinners. we got asked 2-3 times per day and it was a bit much for my liking. Rooms were clean and we got a free upgrade with our wedding which was awesome. Having Two full bathrooms was great. Overall, very glad we had our wedding at this resort. They are pros and looking forward to trying out another Hyatt inclusive in the future!

It could be better

Thomas H (madison) on Apr 11, 2024

Resort is ok. Pretty setting , beach, beach front The staff is pleasant and attentive but big language barrier for English speaking guests. It sounds biased to expect everyone to at least be proficient in English , but that is the universal language - and a small % of the staff barely understand. Not enough waterfront activity for me and the staff at that activity do not promote for hotel guests to use their equipment. Also, a hotel that size has 1 catamaran and 4 kayaks ? We could not utilize either daily as they were always booked - and staff takes 1 hour lunch and shuts the operation down in middle of the day ? Quality and selection of food not on par with a Hyatt 4.5 star. All inclusive or not - get a master chef there and upgrade the recipes and variety. Buffet was best option and quality of food for all meals - but who wants to eat all meals for 6 days at the buffet. Part of an enjoyable vacation is nice dining and upbeat, attentive staff. The wait to eat some nights exhausting. And managers are not conscious of making guests wait with nothing to do , get us drinks , bring out some appetizers - something accommodating ? I like the bar service although having only President beer all week at most of the bars is bad and cheap ! I like the concept using bamboo paper cups around the resort which if they are the right material - are compostable. But there is maybe 2 receptacles that offer waste deposit for compostable (back to earth) disposal ? They should improve these cups to make sure the poly liner is compostable too. I hope they do compost. It was ok. Nice location and weather. Staff worked pretty hard.

Thanks to hotel staff

Expedition325012 (Viimsi, Estonia) on Apr 10, 2024

My wife and I have been planning to stay at Dreams Dominicus La Romana for a while so when an opportunity arose we booked our holiday straight away. The second we arrived at Dreams Dominucus we were surrounded by the attention of the most attentive, professional, friendly staff. At check in we were greeted by a lovely manager Angely. We wanted to upgrade our room and she offered us a great option, a room with complete sea view. The room exceeded our expectations. Angely also suggested the Bali Beds on the beach and what a great suggestion that was! Every time we asked Angely for help, she sorted things out momentarily. What a credit she is to the hotel! We loved the hotel and all the restaurants, the food was fresh and plentiful in every eatery. As it was my wife’s birthday we wanted to do something special for the evening and Zoraida booked us a table at the Petit Chef restaurant. The restaurant is very unique and entertaining, we loved it there. Very grateful to our waiter Gustov, he was great! I would like to thank everyone that has made our holiday so wonderful, Angely, Erick, David, Zoraida, Gustov, Nelson and Zonelko. Thank you for such a great welcome and for making my wife and me so comfortable during our stay. We will be back again in 2025. Juri & Olga

Everything was beautiful! The beach was amazing. The water was clear and there was very minimal seaweed as well. The pool was great as well. Even our hotel room was amazing! The resort was amazing. Sony and Edwin helped us out with security!!
