We’ve booked this resort for two weeks- We’re not expecting luxury by any means but this was disappointing. Beach: The beach itself is beautiful but the resort beach area has very little shade, very few umbrellas, loungers stacked together like sardines. Rows of 20 + Never seen anything like this at any other resort. It’s quite absurd because it’s such an easy fix - Space chairs and add more umbrellas. Food/ Drinks: Buffet food was plentiful, there were lots of options to choose from. Although nothing to brag about, you can definitely find delicious options. The restaurants were extremely disappointing and not worth it. This is the only resort I’ve been to that didn’t have a proper coffee/ espresso machine. Coffee served in urn with powdered milk. Some days they had real milk but it always curled because it was spoiled. If you’re a coffee person, you’ll be disappointed. Rooms: Old, outdated. Basic is an understatement. Cuba has better standards for half the price. Service: Just ok, most service staff were abrasive, seemed rushed and not attentive. Place seems understaffed. Entertainment is good - engaging and they try to keep a lively atmosphere. The positives: small cozy resort with a beautiful tropical feel. It’s walkable, accessible and very very clean but lacked some basics, it’s a 3 star at most.
What a wonderful place to be.

As always, the staff was incredible and the food delicious. Immaculately clean, this resort is on the Playa Dorado in a secure location. The beach is clean and beautiful. There are plenty of beach chairs,and lots of shade available. Pools very clean, but could use more hand rails to get into and out of the water. This was not our first trip to Gran Ventana, and as long as we are still able to travel, it will not be our last. Aaaaah.
