Sun, Pool, Sea, Merengue, Zumba!
SheryarMalik (Antwerp, Belgium) on Jan 02, 2026
As returning visitors, our holiday at Gran Ventana was - as usual - a great experience. The food was great and a variety of choices. The entertainment team was always a lot of fun, on the many sunny days, and the few rainy days (tropical warm rain!) The daily merengue lessons were a nice treat and especially the WONDERFUL Zumba classes by Zumba Instructor Svetlana from Belgium were a highlight.
Another Great Visit to the Gran Ventana
mikegbwest (Toronto, Canada) on Dec 21, 2025
Great hotel as ever but not all of the rooms have been renovated yet but the rooms and the hotel are very clean. A few weeks before I was to arrive I sent an email explaining I was a many time (6 to8) repeater to the resort and asking for a quiet room away for the pool. I explained where I had stayed during my last visit a couple years ago and asked if it was possible to be near the same location. When I arrived my 1st room had a very hard mattress and next to the resort next door and it was loud. I spoke with the manager Anthony and while the resort was very busy he moved me to room much quieter. He explained that when they upgraded their system in 2019, they lost a lot of info and that was likely only my last couple of visits were all that were recorded. Anthony and his excellent staff are just one of the reasons I keep returning to the Gran Ventana. I still say they are the best staff in the DR and honestly I spoke with quite a few repeaters this trip and they agreed. The food is another reason I return to the Gran Ventana. Always top level and different dishes each day for us to try. Being solo this trip I did not try the Ela carts but honestly did not feel I missed out as the food in the buffet was excellent. In the lobby of my building they held a staff appreciation/ Christmas party and guests of the building were invited. I did attend for a short time and could see that the management really value their staff. Everyone had a great time myself included.
